Hey everyone, been seeing through my research on Tessa that it can be a potential tumor / cancerous increase due to the GH stimulation. I am relatively new to peptides, just trying to see what others have found with this peptide.
Regarding the dosage , what would be best recommend, and cycle length ? Thanks guys!

Jeff- kindly relocate if not appropriate for a new category.
Multi-vial care package delivered today from BioLongevity, pinned both with 30 minutes between each. No site reactions, feel fine, great actually.
Super intrigued by both, I've done my homework. 60's male in great health, 2.5 year carnivore, focused on maximizing healthspan. Anyone else throwing caution to the wind and researching these two?

I placed an order because I saw they switched back to Vanguard from ILS and I ended up with a 5 pack from 3 COA's back which are ILS testing. I'm disappointed they ever even went to ILS in the first place. This was my first order with Crush and potentially my last. Why show current COA's if you're not shipping that supply?

What’s weird is they are always out of inventory and then just did a presale but are shipping from 3 COA’s ago that is really sketchy. Further Rory mentioned he lost orders due to the ILS thing then comes out with a Vanguard COA but ships inventory that was tested by ILS. Even more sketchy. They are good until they aren’t Hate seeing this stuff it has happened to most of us so keep your head up and move on. Peptides are life changing but the market is frustrating as hell sometimes. -
So I just reconstituted a 50MG of AICAR with 2ML Hospira and it is the color of urine, not cloudy, but not clear. Is this ok? Can I use this for my research on my lab rat or will it hurt Micky? S
hould it be thrown out. It came from a vendor with a proper COA from Freedom.

Quick question for a few suggestions, please I just added GHK-cu to my Group buy purchase. It comes in 100 mg vials. Normally I use 50 mg reconstituted with 2 mL of BAC water. Recently I used my first bile of 80 mg reconstituted with 3 mL of BAC Water. It stings a little more. I use a pen instead of a disposable needle, so I can’t just add more BAC Water to it. How in the heck will I use 100 mg vials? Any suggestion?
I had a tiny bit of a sting with the 50 mg bottle and two ML of BAC water. I mixed my next one with three ML and had no stinging. The problem is the one I’m using right now is 80 mg and I have a kit coming from the Group buy that is 100 mg. The 80 with 3 ML stings pretty bad. There is no way I could do 100 mg with it. -
I have ordered from a website before and am considering ordering from them again. One of their big selling points is:
“US-Based Manufacturing & cGMP Compliant Facility: Manufactured domestically under rigorous quality protocols.”
The issue is that they’re about two to three times more expensive than some of the other websites I’m currently working with that don’t make the same claim.
I’ve done a little research on it, but I wanted to get some input from the big brains out there. Is there real validity and added value behind that claim? Is it truly something that sets them apart from other websites, or is it more of a gray-area marketing claim?
I guess I’m trying to figure out whether paying that much extra is actually worth the potential benefit. I’m willing to pay more if I’m genuinely getting more in terms of quality, consistency, testing, etc.
For context, I do dissect the COAs on the websites I purchase from and look them over pretty carefully to make sure there aren’t any discrepancies or red flags. However, I don’t do any independent batch testing myself because I’m usually only ordering onesies and twosies at a time, so it really wouldn’t be practical.
Basically, I’m relying heavily on the COAs and whatever quality-control/testing processes the vendor has in place. Call me lazy or overly trusting of others, lol.
Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks for any input!

I ordered a few things from them and received them all quickly. No issues reconstituting any of the products. Tried the GLOW stack but think I would have benefited better from buying individual peptides and controlling the dosage better. Overall though no issues with the products received.

Ive been pinning glutathione for 4 weeks now, 100mg 2x a week for the first 2 weeks and 200mg 2x onwards. My plan is to take the glutathione for 4 months which is how long my Accutane cycle is aswell. When I started my cycle I also started taking Accutane - I thought this would actually be beneficial as the Glutathione may help the liver stress caused by Accutane.
Though through research and pondering, I'm thinking that maybe the glutathione puts extra strain on the liver making it work more to eliminate oxidative stress - free radicals etc. SO, im wondering if the glutathione may be more unwanted stress on the liver alongside with Accutane.
So does anyone have leads findings and experiences on this topic?
Let me know!

I’ve never seen a website so adamantly confident to a point of detriment, or even sounds like a dick. If this is your go to, welp sorry that just my .02cents. How confident to to say take our word that we have high quality stuff, we don’t publish our docs and blind trust because our founder has 22 years of integrity and we stand by our website of overpriced stuff. That’s right up there with that chiro black card who lost his license in California

Looking to buy a kit of the Tesa/Ipa from Nexaph. I can see the quantity in the COA provided by Janoshik but there is nothing that shows the purity. Does anyone know those numbers? Also, would be first time ordering through them based on all the reviews I've read on this site. Is it necessary to send out for additional testing or can I rely on what has already been done? From what I've read most people are quite satisfied with the products they're providing. Thanks.
I ordered a vial of the same batch of Tesa from Ameano (while it is 50% off total) to try and see it is ok. 97.8% purity from Janoshik lab, but no other problems are detected. -

I used to order form another vendor and switched over to Peptira and their Reta truly doesn’t compare nor work.

Hi! I'm a newcomer into the world of peptides and want to do the most possible to make sure all my research goes smoothly. I've heard it is a good idea to keep track of vitals like heart rate and such, and the "Get Labs / Blood Work" tab under "Calc & Tools" caught my eye as well. I'm wondering if any more experienced researchers have opinions they'd like to share when it comes to this stuff! I'm curious about what you think is important to keep track of as well as what type of monitoring can be done in house and if so what kind of materials are needed to do so. I'm not above visiting a lab to get tests done for the things I can't accomplish on my own if it's worth it, but I'm also curious to see what can be done at home as for me personally running the tests is just as fun as getting the results back. Also curious if anyone has knowledge or resources for interpreting results and how that can be used to make choices regarding peptide stacks and whatnot! As a beginner really anything is helpful and I'm curious to hear your thoughts and opinions :)) (Apologies in advance if I've used any tags incorrectly or if this belongs in another category, I'm still getting the lay of the land! I've tagged glp3-r as that is the peptide I'm most interested in researching at the moment)

Apologies if this is the incorrect place for this post. I figure it has to do with pens, so this may work?
I've recently made the switch to peptide pens and have become a huge fan of the convenience and consistency (thanks Randy!). Since I'm also on TRT, I started wondering whether testosterone could be used with pens as well.
After finding a forum thread where several people were doing exactly that, I decided to run some tests of my own.
Goal: Determine whether Testosterone Cypionate can be delivered accurately and consistently through a peptide pen.
Setup:
Pen: ConviPen (auto-injector)
Testosterone: Testosterone Cypionate 200 mg/mL in cottonseed oil
Needles: EasyTouch 29g 1/2" pen needlesI chose the ConviPen because it uses a metal drive rod and I suspected an auto-injector would have an easier time pushing a more viscous oil. I am still considering testing a manual pen (V4) for comparison.
Testing Performed:
Test #1: I loaded a cart into the pen and measured output directly into an insulin syringe. To do this, I inserted the syringe into the cart and dispensed a dose from the pen, allowing me to measure the volume.Approximately 10 repetitions were performed.
Result:
Output was extremely consistent.
15 units delivered essentially what was expected each time.Test #2: I then attached a 29g pen needle and repeated the testing by dispensing through the needle into the open end of a syringe. This method was less precise than Test #1, as some of the oil adhered to the sides of the syringe and could not be measured perfectly.
Approximately 30+ repetitions were performed.
Result:
Output remained consistent.
Measured delivery was roughly 1 unit lower than expected.
Because of this, I began testing a setting of 16 units to achieve an effective 15-unit delivery.Test #3: I then did an actual subcu injection for my regular dose. When I pressed the trigger at 16 units, the dose indicator rapidly dropped to approximately 5 units remaining, then continued clicking all the way down to 0. I left the needle in place for approximately 10 seconds after the indicator reached 0.
This behavior was very different from my syringe testing and raises the question of whether tissue resistance affects delivery compared to bench testing.
Preliminary Conclusions:
• Testosterone Cypionate in cottonseed oil can be delivered through a peptide pen.
• A 29g pen needle appears to work (shout out to the forum users who stated this in another post!!)
• Pens are mechanically capable of pushing oil-based testosterone.
• I still need long-term validation through TRT labs to confirm that Total Testosterone and Free Testosterone remain consistent with pre-pen values.
• I am unsure whether an auto-injector or manual pen is ultimately the better platform for oil-based compounds.Questions: For those who have experimented with TRT in peptide pens:
• Have you found auto-injectors or manual pens to be more reliable?
• Has anyone validated dose accuracy through bloodwork or measured output testing?
• What are some other factors I should be considering?I'm still early in this experiment, but so far, things are looking promising!
P.S. For those wondering, I wasn't burning through my actual TRT supply for science. A friend had an old blended testosterone vial that was never going to be used, so it became the sacrificial test subject for this project.
Thought about doing this actually but never bothered because i only have 31g for my peps. Might have to pick up some 29's and try it out. Ive been using 29g 1/2" pins for my SubQ for about 6yrs now. A pen would be nice. You can get ultrafiltered 50ml bottles of MCT for around $15 online. Then just filter it into a vial with your high dose Test at whatever ratio you need. Just trying my first gray market T for the first time next month after 22yrs on pharma. These are 250mg instead of 200mg but Jano tested so we will see how it goes. -

Review
I have been a follower of Max since the beginning, and I have spent a lot of money on products. However, during his live chats many would complain the peptides don't work when compared to other suppliers, and I have experienced the same thing. Customers have also posted comments in the chat which are swiftly removed by Max the owner. Since his mother works in a pharmacy and knows chemicals, I suspect he is mixing the compounds with a placebo and is not practicing safe storage and protocols. Since switching suppliers, I have not seen the same symptoms, stomach pain, and other warning signs. Given his behavior with manipulating women and men to increase sales and his risky recommendations of starting out taking a high dose of 7mg Reta during live chats, I would look for a different supplier.

@maxmilehighcompounds.is You guys are great. Wish you would stop using ILS, though. Just my two cents. -
Hello everyone,
I just got two 15 mg vials of tesamorelin/ipa from Northline labs. I didnt find peptide critic site till afterwards. It ended up costing around $200 with one vial of BAC. I am newbie so was thinking two vials would be good for two months. Now after realizing I will need a lot more for 2-3 months.
Some questions I had include the following.
I have one 3ml BAC vial and 2 15 mg vials, so adding 1 ml to 15mg vial, means I have enough BAC water for the two vials?
-
Good results from 1mg a day, 5 on 2 off?
or should I just do 2 mg -
I am about to order 10 vials from Glow Aminos for $362. so that would give me 50 more shots for my RAT.
-
The vials from Northline have COa with > 99%, enotxcins within range.
-
Do you test every vial.
-
What is worst case scenario if vial has impurities?
Thank you,
Jimmy

My latest order of MOTS-C and CJC/Ipa shipped the same day and arrived in about 3 business days as usual. I have now placed several orders with Nexaph and have been very pleased with the results from the following products: CJC/Ipa, Tesamorelin, ARA-290, SS-31, Glow, Klow, MOTS-C, NAD+, and Semax.
Edit: this post got lost due to my inability to add tags for a while. I originally drafted it in late May. I have since ordered from them again, ordering KLOW, SS-31, and NAD+. I wanted to order a couple other things but they were out of stock. Ordered on Friday, processed same day, hit UPS Monday. Arrived Friday due to 2 days’ delay at UPS. UPS has been getting really sketchy in my area since last winter.
Highly recommended, excellent value.

Purchase is easy but it's best to wait for a sale. They get some of their stock from Nexaph and when you compare kit prices you'll see why I say they're overpriced. For example, a kit of 24mg Reta is $738. On nexaph the same kit is $528. That's a significant markup for slapping some labels on it. You can even confirm they're the same product by pulling up the COAs on both vendors. The 5/7/26 batch COAs are the same, even the same pictures, the only difference is who the customer is. EZ has even posted COAs with Nexaph listed as the customer. Since I know they use Nexaph as a supplier I trust the majority of their product when I need an emergency single, but having the same COA as Nexaph makes you question if the COA is doctored to put their name in place. And if it's doctored, are any of their other ones doctored?
