I am concerned about long and cryptic links to click in general. Here is a short version https://goo.gl/search?Oct+22nd+peptides+customs

1. You are right.
2. It is not financially feasible if you only need 1 or 2 vials.
3. Even if you do it, it is not guaranteed that the untested vial from the same shipment has exactly the same content.
4. The test may fail in different aspects: identity, mass, contaminants, a little off or a lot. It all changes how bad the product really is.

Conclusion: it is not a categorical difference, it is about higher and lower probability of getting a better or worse material. The cost is also a factor, so we are talking about a risk level that people are willing to take, and that's their decision.

if this user @aj-kovera-labs was indeed related to that Kovera Labs, I would think it wasn't the most impressive performance to show up, get offended for an unclear reason and disappear without explaining anything. Now I am kind of inclined to be a little skeptical of this company's COAs on sites, while before this appearance I liked its certificates the most and only had some slight concerns.

Yeah, yeah. I just received an email from one popular peptide-space person yesterday.

The bottom line? You guessed it: "Stock up and take advantage of our 50% off sale".

A little mouse is very scared.

I ordered Eloralintide on sale. It got stuck on local UPS sorting center for few days. I contacted EZP. They responded in few minutes:

It appears UPS may have lost the package during transit, and we don't want this to drag out any further. We've already sent out a replacement order for you.

I like it.

It might be if you are off-center. Open up one of the used vials and look at its construction. You may get into a thick zone if you are at an angle or off the center.

CBC + lipids + PSA

$41.20 at https://ownyourlabs.com/, even without any discount code.

@jamiegallien I used it at 2mg, then I tried 2mg 2 times a week, it was OK, but then I tried 3mg once a week for 2 weeks and it's too much for sure. My liver hurts. I tested my blood and the liver enzyme (ALT) is all-time low, the cholesterol is all-time low, and triglycerides are all-time low too. I guess at 3mg the glucagon part kicks in for me and draws fat out of the liver, and it looks like it's not much to draw anymore. I need to go back to 2mg.

They don't show COAs upfront. Buy first, then you can search for COA for the batch you received, on their website.

USA Made Peps APIs are sourced internationally
APIs are processed, purified, and formulated in a U.S.-based facility

Yes we believe you about the sterilizing, weighting and lypolizing in the USA sure!
Here are examples of COAs from their site: one, two

USPS? I once sent a package to Washington from Missouri, and it travelled through Guam. USPS walks in mysterious ways.

Crush Research is cheaper even with all discounts applied

@Nuncles I agree too. I don't like the game "who finds the cheapest way to inject themselves with a questionable substance". But the clinics are insanely overpriced, FDA-approved compounding pharmacies are overrated and many products are simply not available.
Research market is for me, the spirit of liberty, I take responsibility for myself, my health and my decisions, not government, not doctors or bureaucrats. But it is not my main concern in life, I am willing to be a secondary level of verification, analyzing the analyzers, so I look around for good reviews and trustworthy analyses done by others.

I ordered first from Verified Peptides. I liked they had Janoshik COAs and batch IDs. Everything I tried from them (Thymulin, Vilon, Epitalon, CJC/IPA) made me feel ill, unless the dose was reduced to 0.1mg or less. To this day I have no idea what was wrong with them, I haven't tested anything.

I also used Bioedge Research Labs, a lesser known, but I can't complain about it, everything seemed a good quality, was tolerated well, except AOD that gelled, but this one is tricky. Their customer service is great.

I used Atomik Labz. Their vials were fine. Their pills made me feel bad. When I asked them for help they threatened to ban me if I ask again.

So I figured I am somehow more sensitive to the quality of the compounds than most of the people. If anything is off with it I feel it immediately while other people can consume it fine. So now when I try something new I get it from 3 places and compare.

I used Ion Peptides, they were ok as quality, but stingy as support. Thymosin A1 didn't dissolve and all I could get is a partial refund on one of two vials, after a week of arguing and proving it.

I was referred to Canlab International. They had no COA available (now they say you can request them), and very expensive, but the quality of the items I tried was always very high. I understand they do local lyophilization.

I got Reta from Glacier Aminos, and from the side effects, no effect from the dose, and the chart from Kovera COA for that batch I am convinced I was sold Tirzepatide mislabeled as Reta. I think it might be not on Glacier Aminos, it's because Kovera people couldn't use their equipment properly. Hope they learned since then.

I used Reta from Crush Research and this one works well. Crush Research is good but with Rory selling the company the future is uncertain.

I like Peptidology, their 14x testing from Vanguard, their selection is good. The quality I can't complain about. Unfortunately the Peptide Critic discount code only worked a couple times and then expired.

I got many bioregulators and other peptides from Bio Longevity Labs. The quality of the peptides seems to be very very good, I have no issues at all. There are also good sales from time to time and I can get good deals. They don't have batch numbers on vials though, even though Jay C (the owner) insists to never buy the products with no batch numbers. They do publish COA though, for unidentifiable batches.

I got Tesamorelin from Peptide Crafters. First I used Tesa from Bio Longevity, and it felt fine. When I switched to Crafters I felt bad after each dose, so I paused, retried and felt bad again. So now I switched to Southern Aminos Tesa (I told that I try from 3 vendors), and I feel fine again. So, Peptide Crafters are under question for now. I have some more items from them to try.

I also use Garmin Epic watch, CGM from time to time, daily weight with smart scales (I use 3, it's another drama), blood pressure daily. For blood testings I use Ulta Lab Tests and Marek Diagnostics.

There must be a peptide that stops me from buying peptides every day in unconsumable quantities. I just need to find it and buy a kit or two.

@poiup such a generous young robot!

Eating suppresses GHRH effect by

1. Insulin increase - it directly acts on pituitary gland to suppress GH production
2. Elevating somatostatin - it makes pituitary cells not sensitive to GHRH
3. Suppressing ghrelin - ghrelin is needed to amplify release of GH

What are they, on that Discord server, giving you away free donuts with some stimulant in exchange for the super-excited reviews here?

@MJ227 TB-500 is not bioavailable orally (through the stomach/gut) according to all the experts. It may be only bioavailable sublingually to a small extent, using a spray, or by opening a pill and pouring the powder under the tongue and waiting for 5 minutes.
BPC-157 behaves better orally, but sublingually is even better. On an empty stomach is preferred.
There is another variant of TB-4 subsequence, Fragment 1-4 (not fragment 17-23 as in TB-500), that seems to be more available, but it is not an actin-binding fragment (as TB-500), not useless though (anti-fibrosis, anti-inflammatory).
Here is one example of oral TB-4 subsequence fragment 1-4.
Here is another.

I took 2mg of that SlimAssist a week ago. With my usual training, my muscles are growing all over before my eyes. I was planning to have it once a week, I changed my mind and will have to wait another week - it's too fast.
