These are all good points—thanks for the input, everyone. We’ll keep moving forward!

I just logged in for the day and it looks like I missed a lot—LOL. I’m glad it seems to have worked out for the people affected by the issues. Regardless of what happened, I also appreciate that Flawless stepped in and responded, because I think many companies would simply let comments like this go unanswered even if they are hard conversations to have. It’s great to have forums like this (Peptide Critic) where members can have open dialogue. As others have mentioned, everyone has a choice, and I completely understand if someone does not feel comfortable spending their hard-earned money with a particular company and chooses to go in a different direction. Ultimately, it comes down to service after the sale if its needed. I’ve said it before: it can take years, or at least months, to gain a new customer through websites, forums research, but only seconds to lose one.

@BeeKind Nice! Im about 22% since January

I posted this on another thread but here its is...My buddy….Lets call him “Sam” started trying Sermorelin about a year and a half ago. He originally went to a local men’s health clinic to get his testosterone checked because he was in his late 40s and wanted to better understand where things stood. His testosterone came back naturally around 750, which was solid, so he didn’t fill like testosterone was the best fit. From there, the clinic brought up peptides as another option, and Sam decided to look into it and give it a try.
He started with a 16-week cycle of Sermorelin and noticed that some of his everyday aches and pains improved. He also dropped some weight, felt better overall, and added a little muscle. It was not an overnight change, but it was enough that he felt like he was moving in the right direction. Sam has always enjoyed lifting, but staying consistent was the biggest challenge. Once he became more comfortable with peptides, he started researching other options, including IPA/CJC. The clinic didn’t offer that so that when Sam when out on his own.
In Sam’s experience, IPA/CJC made the biggest difference for weight loss and muscle retention. He noticed continued progress with his weight and a visible improvement in muscle mass. That said, he still felt Sermorelin helped more with aches and pains. As he continued learning and getting more comfortable, he eventually added reta into the mix. Over about eight months, along with focusing on protein, staying in a calorie deficit, and doing resistance training three days a week, he went from 230 pounds down to 180.
One of the biggest benefits for Sam was being able to limit muscle loss while cutting, even though some muscle loss is expected anytime someone loses a significant amount of weight. Overall, he looks better, feels better, and seems more active. He would not say it made him feel like a completely different person, but he does feel noticeably better than he did before. He still has normal aches and pains, but mentally he seems to be in a better place, and feeling better about himself has made a real difference.
Sam recently finished his second overall cycle of IPA/CJC and is taking a four-week break before starting again. Based on his experience, he feels it has been a game changer for him and its his go to blend, but he would also tell anyone interested to do their research and make sure it is the right fit for them. His sister had asked him about it, but because she has a history of skin cancer, he recommended that she look into other options. Sam still says Sermorelin is a great first peptide to consider for anyone interested in learning more about peptides.

@Eleanor I’ve often wondered about sites that sell their own BAC vials. If there’s an issue with cloudiness or reconstitution while using their branded material, would they still say you should have used only pharmaceutical-grade products instead of what they sold you? That question has been on my mind lately with the recent reconstitution issues.

@jackiee are you sure its cloudy in the vial and not humidity inside the plastic cover of the pen that list the ml’s and on the glass tube…I have had my eyes play tricks on my when I take it out of the fridge with the pen and humidity. Just a thought.

@Stevepep you’re good man! I appreciate your input and your comments. I’ve been on this one for almost a year now and started lower and worked up to where I am now just to make sure I didn’t have some weird reaction. But once I got to 250mcg I just stay there with pretty good success. You’re right on the injection site reaction. It can’t flare up at times I found my sweet spot to be my love handles and have not struggled with reactions like I did around my belly button it never hurt was more just like hives around that area for a couple hours. I could try maxing out my pen, which I think is 300 units? It just doesn’t work out with the math as well with my unit counts. Jackie, Steve brings up a good point be prepared for some site reactions part of the process don’t be alarmed.

@Randy (Does filtering the peptides as you recommend help address the salt-related issue? If a peptide appears cloudy after reconstitution, is that enough reason to discard it rather than use it? I placed a larger order after seeing your sale mentioned with Flawless, so I’m now wondering whether I may have made a significant blunder lol)

@Mydogdaryl423 Great Job Buddy!

I would also recommend taking amino acids at that time. I understand the argument that if you eat enough meat, you may not need them, but I see them as an added benefit for supporting muscle synthesis. They’re not very expensive, so I added them to my regimen. I’m down to around 17% body fat, which is probably about as lean as I’m going to get. The weight loss has been good, but I still have some stubborn fat at the mid section, slightly loose skin that may/will be there forever unless I cut down even more. At this point, I don’t see much benefit in doing that, especially since, as you mentioned, I’d be concerned about losing more muscle. For now, I’m focused on gaining some muscle weight back to help with that. If people ask, I usually tell them I’ve been in my bulking stage for 25 years, and now I’m finally in my cutting stage. lol

@MJ227 Will do. I emailed them directly after seeing your concerns—naturally, right after placing a large order (I got great timing). Hopefully, you already burned through all the cloudy peptides on your end lol, but with my luck, I may have ordered the cloudy 5 pack edition. Their response is below, and I’ll keep you posted. Hoping it has been resolved.

Scott,

Hi there! Cloudy peptides are almost always a case of poor reconstitution solution or bad methods (such as putting BAC in the refrigerator). I don’t believe we’re seeing anymore of these reports than any other time. We stand behind our products and the extensive testing that we perform. Thanks!

by the way I didnt use AI for this responce just spell check so I sounded less like a moron. BeeKind can sniff out the AI people lol.

@Jake_PepTron Sam takes the IPA/CJC in the morning because RETA conflicts with digestion timing, and his work schedule can be unpredictable at night while he’s on the road and taking clients out….okay enough with Sam…. I also think morning dosing is better for my sleep. During my first cycle, I took it at night and didn’t sleep well. In the morning, I’m already fasted, so I take it and usually eat 45 minutes to an hour later, which is about when it starts to wear off. That way, I feel like I’m getting the full benefit—letting it fire up my system for the first 30 to 45 minutes, then adding protein right after to support muscle growth. I also tried the Wolverine stack and just finished an eight-week cycle. It didn’t really help me, but that may just be my experience. I have nagging shoulder injuries from lifting that I hoped it would fix quickly, but it didn’t and I might be to far gone. That’s probably partly my fault because I kept lifting through it. I really need to take a break and let myself heal while using that stack. I may try it again later, but I have zero patience.

@Mydogdaryl423 it’s like that part in the movie Hot Rod, where Danny McBride gets in a fight but he starts out saying… I’ve been drinking green tea all day! I go to church every darn Sunday, but you go and bring the devil out in me! lol

@jackiee unfortunately it looks like it’s cloudy. Randy and the community always states if it cloudy do not use no exceptions. question 1.what did you use to reconstitute it?

@jackiee yeah, it’s a bummer …are both of them from the same batch? EZ has a pretty good reputation on here from what I see and I’ve ordered from them before and never had the issue. Let’s see how they respond. Sounds like you did it all right, I always reconstitute my Cjc/ipa with 2 ML as well. I actually reconstituted two different peptides from a different vendor yesterday so I looked at them this morning to see if they were cloudy lol but thank goodness your bad luck did not get passed on to me! In the peptide world it’s not if this happens to you but how many times it happens to you. It’s a good thing you know to ask the questions and be safe about it.
