    Been hearing hospira bac is the highly recommended one... Anyone have a recommendation on where to buy at a good price? I've seen them around 16-20$ per 10ml bottle

    Anyone traveled overseas with peptides? How did you keep them cold and did you have any problems bringing them through customs?


    @ruthie said: Is it ok to travel with it in poder form in the vial? I would think that the powder would raise a few eyebrows. I traveled internationally this spring, but I used pens. Very easy.

    Greetings Again,

    Has anyone had any interaction with the following Vendor

    https://quantanova.quantuminnovationlabs.com/

    They offer Pinealon in 4 pack which is smart marketing?

    Sincerely,

    RC

    I just started down this rabbit hole a few weeks ago. It started because my insurance would not approve my Zepbound. I tried thru Lilly direct and it was still too expensive. (I don’t qualify from a weight perspective, but I have a lot of autoimmune issues.) I’m so glad I found this group. There seem to be very level headed people here.
    A bit about me… I’m an MD, and I never thought I’d go for the peptide market. I drank the ‘straight and narrow Western medicine’ kool-aid pretty hard my whole life. But learning what I have learned these past few weeks has been quite enlightening. Before med school, I have a background in bench science (biochemistry and genetics), so it helps that I have done research on rats in that past life. My new rat I’m researching on currently is named Maynard.
    I ordered tirz and Reta through vendors from this site and message board. Now I’m interested in taking it a step further for Maynard’s longevity and quality of life. This will be interesting. 🙂


    Welcome. Same pedigree. Eye opening huh? Started with Reta and things escalated from there. Take your time. You're part of a great and growing community!

    Janoshik said one thing. I jad it tested. My coa was completely different. What's your experience?


    @vpeptides to be honest I have zero faith in the ms chart from freedom they identified the purity over 99pct but it is a side chain so who knows

    We’ve added a new way to strengthen reviews on Peptide Critic: Verified Customer badges.

    If you have purchased from a vendor and left a review, whether it’s a new review or one you posted previously, you can now submit private proof of purchase for moderator verification. Once approved, your review will receive a ✓ Verified Customer badge so other community members know it comes from a confirmed buyer.

    How to add proof
    Go to My Reviews, log in using the email address associated with your review, and upload a receipt or order screenshot for the review you want verified.

    For privacy, your proof is never displayed publicly. It is visible only to you and Peptide Critic moderators.

    You may black out any personal or sensitive information. We only need to see:

    Vendor name, website, or logo

    The product reviewed

    Purchase date

    Order status, such as paid, completed, shipped, or delivered

    The last 4–6 characters of the order number

    Adding proof is optional, but it helps make the community’s reviews more transparent, credible, and useful for everyone.


    I love this upgrade.

    "ASC36 is a synthetic peptide. Developed by Ascletis Pharma, it acts as an amylin receptor agonist and is being studied as a long-acting treatment for obesity and metabolic diseases." Anyone?

    https://youtu.be/I8kdZoMvcK8?is=4NLRk-ZTMp0uPPqL


    Once a month might be enticing to some. In this room, with some of us maniacs pinning 5 times a day, it probably doesn’t have much draw. It’s basically a Tirz/Cag protocol they’re talking abut, but monthly. Two weeks apart. As mentioned in the video, which is very informative BTW, the long half life could be problematic for side effects. But research is always good.

    On Southern Aminos website, I viewed Adamax (that's what I was looking for).
    When I clicked on the selection, I had two options Adamax Prime ($42) and Adamax Apex ($70.40). When I looked at the COAs, they both showed only Adamax and at a 99.3-99.5% purity (roughly). My point is that both vials, per the MOA, have 10mgs of high purity Adamax. Why is one significantly more expensive. Like I said, the COAs only show Adamax; neither are blends and Both Show 10mgs.
    I asked via email,

    "Please explain the difference between Adamax Prime and Adamax Apex? They appear to both be the same amount in mgs, and both high grade Adamax, so why is Apex much more expensive? I thought perhaps Apex was a blend, but no other peptides are shown on the COAs.
    I want to buy Adamax but need to know the answer to my question before making a purchase."

    I have not received a response to my email, which was sent three days ago. If someone knows, please let me know. I purchased Adamax from another vendor this time, but with 60% off, I wanted to take advantage and get a lot.
    Thank you!

    @CDaze812 The Nexaph order just came in today actually. I have it reconstituted and one injection in already. If you are experienced with this peptide...are we allowed to talk protocols on here? I don't want to post something I'm not allowed to. I don't trust Gemini with the recommendations and I can't get an answer from ChatGPT, so I am asking here. And, just to baseline my research, I have researched with them for a couple of years. For neuropeptides, I've given my rat a 5ml IM/day x 20 cycle of Cerebrolysin (EverPharma ampules) stacked with Cortexin 10mg/day, IM; Separately, I've also injected my research rat (sub-q) with Semax, Selank, and bioregulators, Cortagen and Pinealon (not at the same time). That's the extent of my experience researching these kinds of peptides, unless you consider epitalon. I typically give my rat a 20 day cycle of epitalon twice per year. So with that in mind. How does Adamax 1032 compare with any of these I have experimented with? Will it be different for the rat? I think Adamax is a derivative of Semax but is designed to have a stronger effect or it crosses the blood brain barrier in rats better...or something like that. Thanks!

    @randy incredible. Do you feel this is across the board or primarily mid to smaller vendors that would be problomatic? Uther, QSC, ERP, large vendors included you think? Thanks.
  • BeeKindB

    I'm quite confused, I know there have been conversations about this lab not being reliable for various reasons and now I've seen some comments where @randy is semi-reluctantly suggesting they might be as reliable as Vanguard, Trustpointe, AFI, etc.

    There's a lot of vendors using them and I know things can change so quickly, but what's the score on them today?


    The owner is a jerk. I've spoken to him a few times. He has a real issue with any scrutiny and doesn't seem to care about anything in the space other than how his company looks. He is lazy about delivering tests to vendors (a common complaint) and doesn't understand basic customer service. You will see some of your favorite vendors using other labs in the coming months as new batches come in. Ill never use him since theres a half dozen other options doing the same thing just as well or better. Fun fact - he was funded by a vendor when he started out. Not exactly impartial or "third party". Its a real lab doing real tests. Just not for peptide critic.

    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.

    with how much volume he does thats quite the conspiracy theory. It would be significantly more work to mix up "a placebo" than sell the real stuff... You know they don't actually bottle their own stuff right? Only a handful do.

    If you think the message hasn't gotten around, think again.
    Question: How does a researcher PROVE they used Pfizer?

    Careful Folks. I'm not dealing with this, move to the next vendor.


    This is interesting! I had my CC, which i used at Crush, hacked and a very large Airline charge made on it about 2 weeks ago. I was able to cancel the card and get my money back… but I have been wondering where it was compromised. I know its not, nor will it ever be confirmed, but Ill just leave it at “interesting”.

    I have purchased cag, mots-c, cartalax and wolverine from this vendor and have only had a good experience. Shipping was quick even though they are not close to my location. I initially went with a highly rated vendor in my own state and the package got lost and then it was resent but delayed. I tried Flawless because of their rating and frankly they had a good sale and each purchase and reconstitution went off without a hitch.

    Be careful when placing orders. If you deselect shipping protection for your order, their system with automatically add it back when you checkout. I didn't catch it until after I processed my payment and immediately contacted them asking for a refund of just that charge. They gave me the "all sales a final" answer.

    When i started KPV 5/18 and I had ever intention of going off of it 8/18. I’ve heard a few people say that you really don’t need to cycle it. Thoughts?

    Info: My chemo induced rosacea is all but gone, after having it for 9 years. Gone. GHK-cu reduced it, but KPV finished it off. Also, I am highly allergic to poison ivy. I had a few tiny spots on my arm and it went away after two days and didn’t get bad at all. This is so unlike every other time that I have gotten it. The only thing different is the KPV.

    If going off will make it continue to work, I will. But if I could backslide or stop progress, I really don’t want that.


    Honestly, I can’t remember where I came up with that dosing. I do split my GHK-cu into twice daily pins.
  • pep_researcherP

    Can one mix separately reconstituted Wolverine and KPV in one vial?

    My preferred vendor doesn't carry tri-blend, so got Wolverine and KPV separate. But after recon I would like to mix them in one vial.

    Any risk of gelling or bad chemistry? Been drawing them in the same 📌 but want to avoid multiple pokes of pin that blunts the sharpness.


    I combine all my blends. Here is how I do Wolverine+Kpv [image: 1786800622348-screenshot_20260815_062942_chrome.jpg] [image: 1786800622528-screenshot_20260815_062953_chrome.jpg] [image: 1786800622719-screenshot_20260815_063006_chrome.jpg]

    This morning after my rat pinned, I noticed a small red piece of tissue on the tip of the one needle. I assumed it was a hair follicle and properly discarded. But then as I was putting the pen cap back on I noticed red in the cartridge and upon further inspection there were distinctive red blobs floating in the solution. I discarded immediately. But yikes!!!

    Usually it’s the opposite and I feel like there’s still fluid in the needle with a drop at the end when I withdrawal.

    v4 Pen
    NovoFine 31G 6mm tip

    cartridge w/blobs
    P.S. I wish we could upload images directly in the post instead of only links.


    I use v2s and remove the pen cap. I disinfect the skin surface and I pin probe the surface for sensory nerves endings and away from hair first. Those are the nerves that inially hurt. When you probe with the pin tip find the spot where it feels the least to nothing at all (the sweet spot). You can probe the skin without breaking skin. Rest the needle tip on the skin at an angle when probing. When you find the sweet spot pin on that spot straight down. Most of the time you will not hit anything. But I had a few between the epidermis and the dermis that I would hit a nerve or a capillary. The nerve feels like an sharp electric shock, the capillary and arteries like sharp nudge (def' bleed). I usually pull it out as soon as I start to feel them and probe again. If you dont have the patients nor the *nerve to do it. Then quickly "pinch, pin and pray". There is a possibility you pinned the arteries in the subQ layer which have enough pressure along with your heart racing from the idea of pinning. lol [image: 1786796369875-what-is-skin.jpg-300x184.png]

    Don’t recall how I found them or how I was recommended but I gave him a shot. They were kind of overpriced for what they have. I had some SS – 31 ran about $60 per vial. Seemed like they were a reliable high-quality company providing similar products.

    Order took about seven days to arrive over the holiday weekend. Product came in looking fine package nicely. Problem is the bottles they shipped. Don’t match the COA on the website in any trackable way. Cramp and cap color are different from any of the provided COA’s. There is no batch number or link to a COA printed on any of the vials.

    I’ve asked for a return of the product total came to about $420 for seven vials at 10Mg. We’ll see how it goes.

    Has anyone else had any experience with these people?


    Glad you got your money back in the end

    Peps are probably going to get even cheaper with Labor Day sales. You might want to consider holding off buys until then. Tell vendors what you want and see if it happens.

    I want: NAD+ BUFFERED, SS-31 and Survo.


    Here’s hoping Nexaph has another sale. I want to pick up a kit of TB4 and BPC-157
