Register LoginThis is at least the 2nd time this has happened with a vendor. I will not send any of them my DL info. Sent them a refusal note on the grounds that I already had an account with them and they sent the order through. (Other than that, I like their products.)
I hope this doesn't become a habit with vendors.
On another thread here was a discussion of TB4 and BPC157, 1 to 1 ratio in premixed formulas not being accurate with regard to the individual dosages of the two. I agree with this assessment and since I cannot afford to dose kitty individually, I'm going to try Cartalax first and see if it resolves any of the joint and other tissue pain she has. As we all know, the cost of peptides can be prohibitive, at least for us.
Any comments/information is welcomed. Wish cat the best. She's old and hurting.

I completely agree with Chad here, something is definitely off with this vendor. I’m into my fourth week on their batch, and honestly, it’s been a total letdown. Not only am I getting zero noticeable results from my usual dose, but I’ve also suddenly come down with a brutal headache and stomach pain. There’s a chance I just caught a bug from someone who was sick around me, but the timing is just too sketchy to ignore. When you get none of the actual benefits but all of these random, miserable side effects, it really makes you question the purity of what they're shipping out. Just like Chad said, the difference between a solid vendor and this one is night and day. On another note, my MOT-C effects seems fine.

For research use only. Not medical advice.
Tirzepatide = GLP-1 + GIP
Survodutide or Mazdutide = GLP-1 + Glucagon
→ Combined effect = GLP-1 + GIP + Glucagon, i.e., a retatrutide-like profile.
Because both second agents have a glucagon hit, titration must be slower than usual to avoid nausea, low appetite floor, or excessive gastric slowing.
Survodutide has a stronger glucagon hit than mazdutide. This is the more potent combination.
Weekly Titration Schedule
Weeks 1–4
Tirzepatide: 2.5 mg weekly
Survodutide: 0.3 mg weekly
Purpose: Establish baseline tolerability. Survo kicks hard early.
Weeks 5–8
Tirzepatide: 5 mg weekly
Survodutide: 0.6 mg weekly
Notes: Appetite suppression becomes extremely strong for many subjects here.
Weeks 9–12
Tirzepatide: 7.5 mg weekly
Survodutide: 1.0 mg weekly
This is the sweet spot for most research models. Strong “reta-like” effect emerges.
Week 13+ Maintenance
Two viable approaches:
Standard Maintenance
Tirzepatide: 7.5–10 mg
Survodutide: 1.0–1.5 mg
High-End (Aggressive) Maintenance
Tirzepatide: 10–12.5 mg
Survodutide: 1.5–2.0 mg
Only for researchers replicating the high-end metabolic punch of retatrutide.
Survodutide plus tirz amplifies appetite suppression so hard that most people do not need high tirz dosing.
Escalate slowly — both compounds slow gastric emptying.
This combo is more GC-heavy than mazdutide, so itch issues are less common compared to retatrutide, but GI load is higher.
Mazdutide has a slightly softer glucagon hit and a less aggressive appetite cliff.
This stack is smoother and usually more tolerable.
Weeks 1–4
Tirzepatide: 2.5 mg weekly
Mazdutide: 2 mg weekly
Weeks 5–8
Tirzepatide: 5 mg weekly
Mazdutide: 4 mg weekly
Weeks 9–12
Tirzepatide: 7.5 mg weekly
Mazdutide: 6 mg weekly
This combo mimics a “mid-dose retatrutide” effect without the itch or violent GI spike.
Week 13+ Maintenance
Tirzepatide: 7.5–10 mg
Mazdutide: 6–8 mg
High-End (Not common)
Tirzepatide: 10–12.5 mg
Mazdutide: 8–10 mg
Mazdutide is smoother but still synergistic with tirz.
Appetite suppression is strong but less harsh than survo stacks.
GI load increases if escalated too fast — keep 4-week steps.
My rat name Extropy has been researching for 5mo with great results. From metabolic reset, mitochondria optimizing, mental health, longevity, immune and yes she went all in. She is filtering all the peps into pen cartridges as suggested here. In one sitting Extropy has been able to push a set of 2-4 cartridges through one 33Gx4mm pin tip. After she finish the pen tip it gets discarted. She hasn't had any issues. Anyone doing the same or?

Have you ever developed a crush on somebody and couldn't help but want to text them? Yeah, that happened to me with this company. After I received my first order, which shipped pretty quickly, I found myself going back to their website several times debating whether or not I should spend the money to buy more stuff. For my money, they strike a perfect balance between price, packaging, convenience, and detailed COAs. I’ll probably continue to buy from these guys.

Aavant just announced another restock. They are usa based, lio in the states (allegedly), ships from ohio and sells out quick. These prices are lower than grey (unless buying 100 kits).

Test groups always form and its a wonderful community.
These sell out FAST.
What is the suggested protocol. Just got confused by other posts. @randy you love it please chime in. I am titrating starting at 1mg up to 5 for the last 5 days for 20 days total. Just started
My rat Extropy has been using V2 pens for 3mo now and I'm about to upgrade. When she pinch, pin and pray. Extropy lets it sit in her for 10-20 seconds before pulling out slowly. She still notices a drop of peps on the pin tip. She is now using 33G x 4mm, but also it did the same with a 32G. There is a few MCGs lost in every pin. Lately she has been unscrewing the pen reservoir to not lose any more peps. Yes she did use to remove the pen tip but by the time you cap it and unscrew the mcgs add up. It a decent little drop. I didn't mind it, considering it is clear there isn't a backwash into the cartridge. Time to upgrade, "this is the way"...? Follistatin-344 and tesa are not cheap. Please advise.
Well I just had an unpleasant experience. I just wasted a half a vial of NAD+. Upon filling some pen cartridges I had the bottom plug pop out the bottom of not one, but two cartridges (spilling all of the energy juice into oblivion). I was using a 31 gauge breather needle and a 31 gauge needle on the end of the .2-13mm filter. I've done it this way before with no issues. I didn't think I was pushing too hard or fast on the plunger but I guess I could have. I changed the breather needle on the next two cartridges and everything went as planned. Could it have been a bad breather needle? 31 gauge needles are too small (for breather or filter)? Or was I simply pushing too fast and didn't realize it?
What's your theory as to what the problem may have been. I lost half of my 10mL vial due to this mistake, so I darn sure want to learn from it.
I hate to be an enabler for all the FOMO and hoarder peeps out there, but I thought it might be a good idea to have a centralized location for all of the July 4th sales. This wouldn't necessarily be an endorsement for any particular vendor or a review, but rather an FYI for what's out there.
Genpeptide - 25% off peptides. An additional 10% discount of purchases over $1000. Valid June 26th to July 6th.
-EDIT- FREEDOM25 is the discount code.
Received via email marketing. Out of curiosity, I tested the code and it appears (as of this writing) that it will not apply to their "Build a Kit". Only one coupon code is allowed so it isn't stackable with the Peptide Critic 10% off code.
One of the vendors I use mainly have test results from AFI. I cannot find any information about them anywhere on the internet. I have seen reddit posts stating they are fake. I have seen your review saying they are not, but it somehow still seems sketchy. Others have stated their methods for testing are not exactly up to Janoshik standards. At this point I don’t mnow what to believe and am just looking for a more believable reason to trust them. I have inventory that I have not touched because of this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
Tucson-based company with a solid selection of research nootropics and powders. I find their peptides generally overpriced, but their bulk powders appear to be better value from my estimation. I’ve ordered from them several times without any issues and was generally happy with the product quality. I can verify their MT2 definitely gave my rat a dark tan.
Unfortunately, my most recent order went wrong. I placed a ~$195 order that included four items, but they only shipped three, the $85 bottle of enclomiphene was missing. I emailed them twice regarding the missing item and never received a response. It’s disappointing that a relatively straightforward issue like this wasn’t addressed.
I had a good experience with them previously, but this situation has made me hesitant to order again.
UPDATE: After a couple more email attemps, they did make it right & sent me the missing package! Great vendor.
I noticed the majority of posts on this site with regard to Pinealon research because of sleep issues. I'm wanting neuro benefits of memory, clarity, etc.
Is there anyone here who's gotten benefits other than better sleep?
I also see most info favors researching it in morning hours. I don't want kitty to fall asleep at work...
I've heard of very few who have not regained their weight, sometimes more, once they stop Semi/Tirz/Reta. There are some that claim to not have regained the weight, or a large portion of it but no proof to back it up that I know of. It's possible; I just don't know any of them.
Most of us here at least have the notion that we're probably going to be taking weight loss peptides for the rest of our lives, with the only other choice being micro-dosing, instead of higher doses.
The 'therapeutic dose' of Tirz is 5mg, therefore, IMO, anything under that is micro-dosing. I know lots of experts are saying 2.5 or less are the levels, but that doesn't make sense to me. Whatever.
I'm at 6 Tirz/1 Survo right now and after a month-long stall after dropping 30#'s, my weight is starting to drop again due to the Survo, albeit slowly. Think it's going to be this way for the next 20 lbs that I need to lose, unless I really exercise hard (Not likely)
Anyone else considering micro-dose? Doesn't mean you have to give up the other peps, just the ones for weight loss.
I have taken MOTS-c since November (with breaks worked in). I have been doing 10mg per week, split into 3 injections. This past week I decided to split the same dosage into daily injections. I made it 1.5mg per day, for ease, so actually doing 10.5mg a week. I have never had the itchy welt others reported. Lowering my dosage, but doing it daily, they changed. After the 3rd day I have developed itchy welts. I am switching back, but this doesn’t make sense to me?
Hey @Randy, you want to know how to get all the girls to swoon 
over ya?
By doing a giveaway like this one! 
I am curious if anyone else has had experience with them, good or bad. My wife ordered GLP-3 for her research and has had great outcomes over the last 7 weeks. It seems like it’s a newer company and there isn’t a lot out there about them, so just curious about any feedback from the community.
Like a lot of people here, I place a lot of faith in this site to recommend and vet out the Wild Wild West, aka the Peptide Vendors 
After placing my order and pressing the go button, I was taken to some weird 3rd party payment processing system, which is not unusual for small companies but I was very surprised that the payment didn't go through 4 times two different credit cards. This company appears to be located in Las Vegas and I am in Seattle so there should be no problems. Finally one of my credit cards send me text message that they detected fraud. I replied yes Meaning it was not fraud and to process the payment. That finally went through. The name that came through on the credit card charge is Wert*ByteNFT. Which is very weird.
But I think I am bothered more by the fact that they added an $8.42 "Route Shipping Protection" without the ability to remove this, which I definitely would have done. That alone, in my book, would turn them from 5- to 4-
