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.

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.

@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.

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.

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.

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

This guy seems delusional. Does he think that the Internet should only be used to praise him and everything he does, or be taken down?
The original reviewer has only expressed his subjective experience after using these products on the public vendor review forum, and also shared the results of his research, a public article on a mass media site. It that a crime now?

I held a few experiments based on some suggestions from a research-oriented medical doctor, Alex Grinberg.

First, he had an idea that anti-microbial LL-37 together with Thymosin Alpha 1 may be used to fight latent viruses like EBV. Coincidently, I had some flu-like sickness so I tried. Short-term intensive protocol for acute infections: 3-4 times a day 0.5mg LL-37 + 1.6mg TA-1. I did it for 2 days, and I didn't see it helping at all: the recovery went with the usual speed, while the hope was it stops the virus almost in few hours.
I continued once a day a combination of those 2 peptides for 2 weeks.
To test it I took a test before and after: EBV VIRAL CAPSID AG (VCA) AB (IGG) + EBV NUCLEAR AG (EBNA) AB (IGG). The first one went down slightly 459->352, the second remained over 600. I don't think it was a success, it remained high, and even higher than I measured it 2 years ago.

Also, I wanted to improve my immune profile. My Lymphocytes are low since Covid times, 1000-1200 while I would prefer them around 2000. The idea was to use a combination of thymic bioregulators to improve it. I took a a detailed test measuring CD4, CD8, CD16, CD56, CD19 (so called T cells, NK cells and B cells). My profile looked balanced but the absolute number of T-cells is too low. There are ideas that Vilon, Thymulin and Thymogen may rebalance the immune system, while Crystagen may help with B-cells. Also TA-1 should affect (boost) the immunity.
I used Vilon for 20 days at 1-3 mg, Thymogen at 50mcg, Thymulin (with Zinc) at about 0.3mg, Crystagen at 1-2mg.
The results, the second test after 2 months of this research didn't produce any significant effect on my lymphocites. Disappointing. I still believe it can be helpful and probably retry later.

Here I want to send a bucket of dung to Verified Peptides. Everything I tried from them was like a poison to my research subject. Everything caused weird and unexpected side-effects, while the same materials from other companies were fine. That's why I used 0.3mg of Thymulin instead of 5mg, same with Vilon. Other compounds from them were also bad as tested.

Another thing I noticed, separately, I used Retatrutide 2mg twice a week. in a month it squeezed all the fat from my liver, my cholesterol is all-times low, ALT is 14. Pretty good, but even maybe too much. So, Glucagon agonist may be used at a lower dosages if there is not a severe NAFLD.

For Pinealon, it's small enough to be used intranasally or orally. There are few producers selling it as capsules and nasal/oral sprays.

They don't have certificates for many products.

@martinmarin I don't take seriously this parasites narrative. I suggest to those influencers that see parasites everywhere to look finally in the mirror. Wash your hands, don't eat susp sushi and you'll be golden.

@WisGal64 clearly, gelatin has collagen, collagen has PEPTIDES!

@SpaceGhost It wouldn't make it worse to pause it till you get your Ultrasound results, also to see if pausing makes it better.

If you compare for example these descriptions for Hydrophilic PES and
Hydrophilic PVDF filters, it seems like Hydrophilic PVDF is better for peptides, allowing more peptides to get through, while filtering out cell cultures.

You may take a blood test for IGF-1 to see how your current protocol affects you. Usually 120 to 200 ng/mL is the normal range with about 160 to be optimal. Your base line may be 120-130, you would need to measure it outside of your research cycles. If you get it a lot over 200 it may be too much and have side effects for your health, probably something in the range of around 200 is OK for the protocol temporarily.
