Shiela..tirz is my choice, been researching for a yr and 1 month..126lbs down!!

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?

For all of the Crush fans...I got an email earlier today about another presale event happening at Crush starting Friday Aug 7 at 5pm Mountain through Sunday at 11:59pm...or until they sell out. 30mg Reta for $1/mg.

Review

I’ve made two purchases from this site in the last three months and both times my credit card information was later stolen and used for credit card fraud. I used a different card each time so I’ve had to cancel both cards as a result. The peptides I ordered seem to be legit and I have had no problems with their products at all. However, they seem to have poor security and are compromised or they have bad actors working there that steal credit cards. Be careful when ordering from them.

Products I’ve ordered:

1. Retatrutide
2. Tirzepatide
3. KLOW

All the peptides were great, but I won’t use them again because of the credit card fraud.

I've never seen anything but clear but apparently piss yellow is still good?

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 needles

I 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.

I’m going to say this because I think it’s ridiculous that I can no longer fully participate in a community I actually came here to participate in simply because enough people disagreed with my opinion.

I supported a premier vendor on this forum that I personally chose to use and had a positive experience with. Apparently, some people didn’t like that. That’s completely fine — disagree with me, challenge what I said, share a different experience, or tell me why you think I’m wrong. That’s literally what a discussion forum is for.

But when people pile on downvotes simply because they don’t like an opinion, and those downvotes push someone into negative karma to the point that they lose the ability to participate normally, the system stops filtering out trolls and starts filtering out unpopular opinions.

That’s a terrible way to encourage honest discussion.

I’m not asking anyone to agree with my choice of vendor. I’m not claiming my experience invalidates anyone else’s. I’m saying I should be able to share my own experience and opinion without being labeled a bot or as shilling leading to effectively losing my voice in the community because a group of people decided they didn’t like what I had to say.

If someone is scamming, spamming, lying, harassing people, or deliberately spreading misinformation, moderate them. Absolutely.

But disagreement should be answered with discussion — not by using the karma system to make somebody unable to participate.

A community about peptides and vendors should WANT different experiences and perspectives, including positive experiences with vendors that some members don't like. Otherwise, what's the point of having a discussion forum at all?

You don't have to agree with me. I just think I should still be allowed to participate fully in the forum.

The only kits I've bought is Cagri from Nexaph, which is fabulous; otherwise, I just don't need anymore peps for now.

S1 RESEARCH: Just bot KPV 10mg, $30/vial, 2 vials, 8/26 Freedom COA, good fill, used PC's site code, paid w/Zelle = $67 w/all the ship/protection added. They also have a decent price on their SS-31 30mg, $85, real nice fill. Use the method above to pay and it's less. I got enough SS31 from them for now, but FYI. Their NAD+buf is great! You know how I am about my NAD+buf. If you're paranoid about ILS and their 1000mg, they've apparently gotten the msg. and gone back to Freedom for 500mg, $45 vial, real nice fill.

PEPTIDE PLUGS: WOLVERINE PLUS - I've been looking for an ready mixed blend WITHOUT COPPER for a while and just hadn't found one that I liked, but Plugs has it and it's real good for my needs. HOWEVER, the shipping cost is too expensive $20 for me, for one vial. He did throw in a vial of Cagri when I late ordered it and asked him, so he is willing. If he lowers the shipping price, I will buy more from him; it's a real nice mix, but you know what a bitch I am on pricing and vendors who, IMO, aren't behaving right. For now, I'm mixing my own, simply because of price. Make of it what you will.

I have terrible allergies in Spring and esp. Fall, when TX Hill Country Cedar pollen blows SE into my part of the State. This year has been esp. bad, as we've had a lot of rain, then sunny heat, which makes everything come back to life; as they bake and almost die, another round of heavy rain, then the oven again.

There is a product (sublig drops) called Texas Cedar Fever that's pretty good but it takes a couple of days to really work. Anyone know of a pep or peps that might help and work faster?

Mucho Thanks!

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 see a lot online about people running either of these compounds daily for 10-20 days or whatever and then taking a break. Anyone have experience just taking these as needed? Like on a day where anxiety is more prevalent or a day of heavy workload for Semax? Or does it really need to build in your system to be effective?

I am trying to find out if the Korean Glutathione (like what southern aminos sells), which they indicate is pharmacy grade is any better than what I would get from another random vendor that uses their vendor label. Does anyone have an experience? Do I need a COA with the Korean pharmaceutical, is it legit?And why are the prices so extreme? Some places it is more than half the price for same sized vial. Just doing my best to navigate this product. Thanks for any help!

It looks like the entire Peptide Critic channel was nuked by YouTube.

"This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated."

Unreal.

I stumbled upon another supplier. This one is Solyn (solyn.com) and they appear to solely use Vanguard for testing, however they claim a 14 point analytical panel with a 15th point in the works. Pricing seems to be standard. Has anyone used them before?

Found another vendor. I looked at 10 different peptides on their site, all of them have Janoshik COAs and it looks like they are adding endotoxin & heavy metal screenings to their newer supplies.

Does anyone know what happened to the PEPTIDE CRITIC YouTube Channel ? I know the RETA UNFILTERED channel got shut down, plus some others too.

I’m a new guy here and have developed a bad habit of hijacking other people’s threads. This time I’ll start my own.

As I mentioned in the Supplements thread, I started feeling pain in my upper right abdomen that slowly got worse over the course of the week. This coincided with starting Reta and foolishly titrating from .5ml to 2ml in less than three weeks. I saw my primary care on Tuesday and she ran labs and scheduled an ultrasound for Monday (tomorrow). At the time, the pain was moderate and I thought that would be fine. Unfortunately, it got bad enough that I ended up in the ER on Thursday evening. The diagnosis was gallstone pancreatitis. They admitted me to the hospital and ran a bunch of tests. (X-ray, Ct, MRCP, HIDA, etc) Today they took out my gallbladder.

I had already attributed this to Reta, and planned on eliminating it from my routine, but the doctor mentioned that my liver still had quite a bit of fat. (Kind of surprising since my abdomen has shrunk so much. That being said, direct eyes-on of the liver is probably superior to a lot of scans, so I should be grateful for the intel.).

Since I no longer have a gallbladder for it to fk with, perhaps I can continue Reta; perhaps at a reduced dose.

I’m pretty bummed that I may not be able to tolerate big, fatty ribeye, as they make life worth living on Carnivore. We’ll see how that goes. I hope to be discharged tomorrow but am restricted from lifting more than 15 pounds for the next six weeks. This will make caregiving for my 90 year old mother-in-law a real challenge, not to mention screwing up working out.

Currently, I take Wolverine (2mg), KPV (.5ML) and Testosterone Cipionate (.5ml) Monday thru Friday. I was planning on reconstituting and starting a Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin blend tomorrow.

I’d love to hear some insight regarding whether to continue Reta, perhaps after a pause, and other peptides or things you might suggest.

Review

I purchased 10 vials of Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin from EZ Peptide. Within two weeks of use I developed a reaction at the subcutaneous injection sites in my abdominal fat—swollen, red, and intensely itchy. The reaction persisted for about two weeks. After stopping for one to two months, I tried the product again and experienced the identical reaction.
I contacted EZ Peptide customer service. They told me I had been using the wrong reconstitution/bacteriostatic water and recommended their own solution, which I purchased from them. Within 12 hours of restarting with their recommended solution, I had the same reaction—only stronger.
When I requested a refund, their response was: “We’re sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. Regarding the return, unfortunately this order falls outside of our return window.”
I know of at least one other person who used an EZ Peptide product and had the exact same reaction. This appears to be an allergic response and raises serious questions about the purity of their product.
I am willing to provide photos of the reaction upon request.

I recently found out that I have a benign C4 peripheral nerve sheath tumor in my right neck called a Schwannoma. It's an extremely slow growing type of tumor that I've had for over 20 years. Due to its size and location, the doctors have decided to just monitor it rather than a risky surgery to remove it. I mentioned to my Neurologist about the peptides I'm wanting to take to help with my body recomposition, and he said specifically to stay away from these:
Sermorelin, Hexarelin, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, Tesamorelin, MK-677, BPC-157, TB-500 (TB4), NAD+ and GHK-Cu.

Now I have to figure out what to do with all the supply I have in my chest freezer. Needless to say, I'm pretty bummed out about this.

Has anyone used or considered using these on your vials? I think you would be limited to only being able to use Luer-lock or Lure-slip syringes so I'm guessing most would say no.

Just wondering if anyone has and what their feelings are about using them,
