Peptide Critic Community

@commander He’s implying that you are holding Heisenberg volumes of Reta, not street corner volumes.

There have been a few threads about this. I am assuming you are injecting cold, though that isn’t required. When you install the pen needle, sometimes if there is a pressure imbalance due to temperature differences, there could be a bit of vacuum in the cart, which is why you sometimes get air bubbles. But if you are slow to inject or hit a vessel like the poster above said, you can get some backflow. I have had this happen once myself, and it sucks throwing a cart away.

My suggestion to minimize this happening, and losing drops, is to hold the pen vertically tip up when installing the pen needle, inject quickly and smoothly, and remove the needle immediately after done. My hypothesis is that backflow happens at the beginning, not the end, of injection.

Tirz is tops for me. No, I haven’t tried Reta but Tirz is doing more than I hoped for and I have it more or less dialed. I am looking forward to NA-931 and other formulations, but overall I am not too worried. Prices are coming down. As long as no one tries to make me use sema, we can get along fine. If we have learned one thing about this and other market panics, it’s that almost anything you do is too much or too little.

@mydogdaryl423 - Everything you do is some form of prepping, or not. You don’t stockpile for when things are fine; you stockpile for when they aren’t. IF things go really sideways in this market, Commander can make a healthy profit selling vials to the looksmax bros.

@pep_researcher EZ is the source for single vials. Nexaph is for kits. Nexaph directly links you to EZ for single vials.

@TBone It’ll come around again. Here’s hoping our longevity protocols keep us alive until Christmas, when we can spend even more money on peptides and peptide accessories.

@ImaFrogNotaRat LMAO this makes me feel so much better about the stuff that I am subjecting my cat to.

And to think, my sister’s salon got fined by the health dept for selling L’oreal hair coloring out of the back door during COVID. (Yes, someone turned her in.)

Glad you are healing. My wife had her gall bladder out a couple years ago and she can eat whatever she wants. You have to take it easy at first and let your body adapt. Missing the gall bladder makes it harder for your body to process fats, which means eating fatty foods may lead to, ahem, gastrointestinal distress. It varies from person to person, but like I said, my wife has no problems, and not to pile on, but we had rib eye Thursday night.

It seems odd to me that 3 weeks on reta would cause gallstones so bad it had to be removed, unless it was the Ozempic and maybe existing conditions and the reta pushed it over the edge.

I’ll look for it. Glad you are on the mend.

@spaceghost How are you doing? Home yet? I hadn’t seen a follow up after you went to the ER.

@stevencarter No beef with any of that. My friend has also gotten good info from Josh on mechanic stack and questions about his GF’s autoimmune issues.

My beef is that when I joined, I wasn’t aware that talking about peptide vendors was forbidden (he has just launched ZestyRat) and apparently many of the other people who got banned also didn’t know why. You’re not on the hook to defend him. I am just venting.

FWIW, I do understand that rule #1 is don’t f*** with people’s money.

@jackiee I messaged them asking why I was banned, apologizing for whatever I said leading to the ban, and i never got a response. A friend who is also a member said he posted a long rant about it and that the member count went down by almost 1,000 so someone rage-banned a whole lot of people for talking about any other peptide vendors.

This was several months ago so it’s basically lost in the sands of time.

@MyB said:

He’s regurgitating AI, IMO. When I first started I asked AI questions. Multiple times he’s made videos that were word for word of what AI had answered to my questions a few months prior.

I was just going to say this. I have been working with AI a lot, and when he says, “Here is where it gets interesting”, or “But this is what the research shows”, that is verbatim from an AI generated answer.

I am a Chris Williamson (podcast) junkie and one of the things he and a guest were talking about recently is that everybody in a given niche starts to talk like everyone else in the niche, so it is hard to tell if they are copying each other, or using AI script builders, or both, but eventually they all start to sound alike. At which point they lose any differentiating factors that might have made them special.

I like Josh. His content is informative, if largely AI generated. I learned a lot from his videos. That being said, I joined his Skool right around the time he launched ZestyRat and promptly got banned when someone asked where to buy peptides and I suggested Nexaph. Apparently he banned a large % of his members for doing that, though the single most common question in his main skool channel is ‘where can I buy peptides?’ Because that is why everyone joins.

That pretty much turned me off his channel and he lost whatever personal training money he was going to get from me. I get that you’re building a brand and all, but banning members without warnings or guidelines when you know what the market is like is petty.

I have researched Nexaph Tesa. Been happy with it. Except the swelling and joint aches, which in retrospect probably means dosage was too high.

Edit: IIRC, i had to delay researching it for a month or two as the testing was in process, but they had 3 different batches in the testing pipeline, so it maybe just took a while. Makes sense if you bought it right when it was in stock.

What the …?

I have been very happy with Nexaph. I will have to buy some stuff from BLL next time there is a big sale, but for now I will stock up a bit more. It sure beats the prices of vendors I was buying from before I discovered this lovely community last year.

And yeah, I see the discount now. Sweet! (Don’t tell my wife!)

This is an awesome title!

An alternate might be: ILS makes Walter White jealous!

I am glad you are being treated. Pancreatitis is no joke.

The only thing I can say is that I would suggest you tell them because that will potentially explain the condition. Not disclosing will potentially mean lots of diagnostics to try to figure it out. I am not educated on these conditions, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

I hope treatment is easy and you recover quickly.

@Eleanor it says it started yesterday so whatever the prices were yesterday are the same.

@spaceghost, If the symptoms started after you began Reta, then perhaps stopping all research is a good idea until you get it resolved. If you are in a lot of pain and it is getting worse, then maybe going to the ER is a good idea.

I am not a doc and this may not be your issue, but I have been reading that ER’s are seeing a huge increase in visits due to GLP-1 ‘overdoses’.
