If anybody is curious, I just did some extensive math on my stack annual costs for two large orders. What are people’s thoughts?

Years & Months -> is total stockpile time /2 because everything is split between two people. This is calculated by the dose, unit type (daily/weekly/cycles), and frequency.
Example: 2mg /weekly * 52 weeks or 2,300 mg /cycle * 1 cycle per year.

Decimal Years -> is that same stockpile number in decimal form.

Cost/Year -> cost per person, but would be the same cost for one person (bc I divided cost by 2 to account for half stockpile time).

1778630982832.webp

There is no source information on this, just the quantities & prices I personally picked.
 
This is back if napkin math for daily drivers based on average prices paid. Not including BAC, alcohol wipes, needles, etc.

8mg weekly Reta - 270ish
3iu daily HGH - 550ish
KLOW - 360ish
BPC/TB - 180ish

Total yearly for daily drivers - 1360ish
Monthly 114ish
 
Tirz for my wife and I, 2.5 kits of T30/year ($275)
Everything else just for me…
Reta/Cagri Blend (20 mg/5 mg) for midweek tide over, 1 kit ($455)
NAD+ 1000 mg, 1 kit, $220
SS-31 25 mg, 2 runs/year (2 kits) ($360)
MOTS-C 10 mg, 4 kits ($520)
Pinealon 10 mg - 1 kit ($150)
NA-Epitalon 20 mg - half kit ($100)
Adamax 10 mg - half kit ($180)
NA Semax Amidate - 1 kit ($150)
Na Selank Amidate - 2 kits ($300)
Kisspeptin 10 mg - 1 kit ($100)
DSIP 10 mg - 1 kit ($110)
Tesamorelin 10 mg - 2 kits ($380)
CJC/Ipa 10:10 - 1 kit ($200)
KLOW - 2 kits ($450)

Pep total ($3950 annually, $329.16/mo)

Hospira is probably $130
Needles are $90
Filters are $150
Vials are $50

So… maybe add $420 annually, or $35 a month?

I didn’t realize how bad the spends were my first year. Good news, I’m learning and will nix half the peptides from the list next time around. KLOW, Tesa, Kisspeptin, and maybe do half the NAD+/Mots-C/SS-31. Should save $1500 there. Yikes, I may have a problem!
 
I was pretty horrified to realise I had spent nearly $6000 aud on peptides in less than a year, especially given the fact that I am not employed. Plus a few more hundred on bits and pieces and syringes etc. But I do have 5 years plus of reta and tirz, and a single year of tirz at my current dose is $690 x 12 or $8320 Aud.
 
In 6 months I ordered for approximately $1200 of peptides, $300 on pens, syringes etc.

As the supply is growing I will getting a mini fridge + mini freezer this weekend so I can move my stuff out of the family fridge.

It’s safe to say that this is just the beginning 🐇🕳️
 
1st order was $448
2nd order was $348
3rd order was $632
4th order was $392
5th order was $665
6th order was $212

This was not including my first domestic single vials order which was $450 (before I discovered grey). I felt the need to stockpile enough to last two years of the ones we deemed to be working well for us. I will continue to stock our faves until I get at least another year or more in the freezer.
So total spent on peps since January 1st this year is $3147...😳

That is not even going into Niimbot and accessories, hydropeaks, pens, syringes, ya know..all the things. I'm OK with it, I know that if I don't buy anything for two years we will be fine.
 
The only peptide I’m locked in on taking long term is a GLP, currently Reta.

$3.66/week, $190/year.

Everything else so far has been a cycle/not ongoing.

I have something like ~17 peptides on hand and a few more on the way.

Nothing has been nearly as impactful as Tirz/Reta. BPC did help with a couple on going issues.

Dollars wise… it is what it is to have inventory.

What benefits do you see from Adamax, selank and semax amidate? And what's the source for them?
 
Adamax is a stepped up version of NA-Semax. For me, it legitimately gives me a noticeable boost in focus, and most importantly, motivation. I’ve had a lot of heavier stimulants in my past, was a little shocked this worked. A lot of it is slightly modified NA-Semax, but you want to make sure the weight of the molecule matches the real thing. I don’t have it offhand though.

AdaMax is CRAZY expensive, if it’s real. A certain researcher of a Grey “lines of rotation” had it for $45 for 10 mg singles, but is now 50+ for 5 mg. While better than NA Semax, it’s not 4x+ better.

NA Semax and NA-Selank Amidate, I get from Nexaph usually. The standard versions don’t do anything for me personally, whether it’s intranasal or Subq. For the NA versions, subq works better overall (slightly diminished onset, but better overall results).

NA-Selank Amidate was a surprise. With normal, consistent use, my nerves were easily settled after subcutaneous administration in the late afternoon, evening. It doesn’t make me sleepy, mind you, it just kinda… slows things down, lets me put things into perspective a little easier. And it clears the way nicely for DSIP nights.

Apart from the sources I mentioned, NA versions are becoming easier to find on all the approved vendors, but less so in the US Warehouses. Adamax needs to be verified, 100%, so many pass off a slightly modified NA Amidate version as Adamax and it just is not the same.

Wow... What do you think was the best bang for your buck?
I'm taking Mot-C and Nad+. Thinking of adding Adamax.

Thank you for this work, brother. The Asian in me is proud of your mathing skills, but I suck at it now. Also, I'm just an embryo in the peptide world, fertilized a mere month ago. I cannot speak about annuals, but the last month alone cost me a total of nine hundred bucks. If I include all the other supplemental products I bought to complement the peptides, the amount will come to 2k easily. I guess I do idiocy real well.

Jeez, if you're on that much, I dread my future. I hope it works really well for you.

This is the best case scenario I'm hoping for, but I'm also hoping that when I can reach this stage, something better will be available.

Thanks for that. Nootropics are my biggest focus area [pun intended]. I was considering Adamax, but I'm hesitant now.
 
Benefits per $? Tirz, absolutely. NAD+/Adamax is a nice AM boost. Selank/DSIP/Pinealon is great for people who have tons of light sleep, but can fall asleep.

I am very into nootropics. I kinda fell behind years ago. I was heavy into researching them 2011-2018, then again 2025 and on.

FL-Moda, Colouracetam, Phenylpiracetam, noopept, Bromantane, Cyclazadone (limited to 2x week at most, not sure how this is classified as a nootropic and not a drug)... Then some Alpha-GPC and CDP Choline to keep my choline sources up. Trying to replace the harsher prescribed stimulants, with little success.

I bow to your superiority, maasaa.
Moda is my go to, and noopept, bemethyl, methylene blue, Nine-me-bc, pRL-eight-53, 4-DMA-DHF have all been meh so far for me.

What can you tell me about 9-Me-Bc? I have it, but I’m afraid to try it. The way I interpret it, it will basically disable Adderall, there’s less than ideal side effects, and you need to avoid the sun. Is that right? I’m extra curious to hear your experience.

I got that set of 6 nootropics from Swiss Chems, so I don't know if it's because the products weren't legit, and I have taken them only once, but they did nothing, so I didn't pursue beyond the first trial dose. But, if you remind me later, I am willing to try it out after a few days. I dont use SSRIs and dont use Adderall [I want to].
I am suspecting more and more that my mental degradation is due to low test, and diabetic encephalopathy more than anything else.

Oh man I had to look that one up. I have a constant brain fog since I started my dance with T2D. I think I'm going to have to order some Mazdutide and Testagen for something I just found out I could have.

There goes any chance of tracking my peptide spending.

Kee is doing IQ tests and cognitive abilities tests to track your mental performance. Thats how I do it now. High glucose can affect blood vessels in the brain as well as nerves. Encephalopathy is bound to happen. Be careful man. I am no longer diabetic, but the damage to nerves is sadly for the most part, permanent.

My research leads me to believe that the high insulin levels do significant damage as well.

Insulin is a hormone that causes your blood vessels to thicken leading to cognitive decline (type 3 diabetes) as well as heart and kidney issues ect. Many people are unaware of the damage caused because their high insulin levels as the a1c remains in a "normal" range while the pancreas works overtime.

I concur, but thats why I'm such a fan of somatomedin aka IGF-1. Do you know that IGF-1 is pro-cognitive, and that lower levels of IGF during aging are considered a major contributor to senescent cognitive decline?

I just read up on igf-1 and it can help with nerve regeneration.

Igf-1 is a growth hormone secretagogues I don't have. I'll have to add that to my: cjc, IPA, tesa serm, and aod.

You definitely do not need to take IGF-1, you are already taking a bunch of drugs that raise IGF-1, cjc, IPA, tesa serm. All of these can increase IGF-1, and I am not sure taking so many similar acting drugs at once is a good idea. You must get your IGF-1 and hb1ac levels measured, there is a very good chance they are too high already with what you are taking. As well as check other basic cardiovascular risks like blood pressure and lipids.

Risks of excessive gh and IGF-1 activity include cardiac failure, acromegaly, increased cardiovascular risks, diabetes etc etc.

There is evidence that IGF-1 can be neuroprotective, but it has also been shown that low gh and IGF-1 are associated with longer lifespans in many different animal models.

So far I have only taken the sermorlin, I used to get it compounded with my tirzepatide, as a way to maintain muscle mass while losing weight.

I get my igf tested 2x yearly. In February I was a little low due to my obesity induced hypothyroidism. I run my expiriments based upon my igf ratio.

I have so many because I don't know what will work best for me without trying. But I only run short cycles occasionally as I don't want to raise my A1c, which I test monthly.

OK that makes sense , taking 4 different drugs mostly acting the same way at the same time did not make sense.

Well, I just got a big round of testing today. Well, started. They said I could only do half per visit because of all the blood vials they’d need, which seems odd… anyways… Tested through Quest Labs, ordered from GoodLabs, cost was $423. Did I overpay? Probably a bit, it was all self pay. Did I need to do half at a time? I’m literally asking:

Hormone / Endocrine

• ACTH, Plasma
• Cortisol, Total, LC/MS
• Dihydrotestosterone
• Estradiol
• Insulin-Like Growth Factor I
• Men's Hormone Panel
• Progesterone, Total, LC/MS
• Prolactin
• PSA Total+% Free
• T3 Total
• T4 (Thyroxine), Total
• Thyroid Panel


Metabolic / Blood Sugar

• C-Peptide
• Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
• Fructosamine
• Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
• Insulin


Heart / Cardiovascular / Lipids

• Apolipoprotein A-1
• Apolipoprotein B
• High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP)
• Homocysteine
• Lipid Panel


Liver & Kidney Health

• Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)
• Hepatic Function Panel
• Renal Function Panel
• Uric Acid


Inflammation / Immune

• Fibrinogen
• Rheumatoid Factor
• Sedimentation Rate-Westergren (ESR)


Blood (Hematology)

• Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential/Platelet


Enzymes / Organ & Muscle Function

• Amylase (Pancreas)
• Lipase (Pancreas)
• Creatine Kinase (CK), Total (Muscle/Heart)
• Lactate Dehydrogenase (LD) (Tissue damage)


Nutritional / Minerals

• Nutrient Panel
• Selenium, Serum or Plasma
• Transferrin (Iron transport)



So, if I do this every 6 months as is, looking at $850 a year. If I could trim the number in half I might do tests every 4 months.
