Hello all,

I am not new to peptides. New to sourcing them though. I am a submarine veteran and testicular cancer survivor. I began using peptides in 2012 after my surgeries from cancer and always used a compound pharmacy and a mens health clinic. They became prohibitively expensive around 2015 and I fell out of the habit in 2016. Always intended to source my own at some point but never really wanted to get into the process too much. Last year, I got back into it a bit and recently, I have been using USA research chems with great luck but with the recent surge in interest in peptides, even those have jacked their prices up. Still deals to be had but they are few and far between. Mostly here for information. My ADHD hyper focus interest has shifted back to peptides and I find myself interested in many of the newer additions to the peptide world.

Welcome, what kinds of peptides do you like to take?

Well, I have been through several over the years depending upon what I was atteempting to accomplish. At one point, I was pinning GHRP2/GHRP6, Glutathione, BCAAs, Herc, L-Carnitine and would cycle through Tesamorelin. I realize some of those are compounds and not peptides per se. Now, I am researching with CJC wo DAC/Ipamorelin, Retatrutide, NAD+, and cycling BPC157 every few months. Considering a few others but was really attempting to get thee cost back to what it was in the early 2010s. Back then, I was getting everything for $100 a month from a compounding pharmacy. And that included the BAC. Prices are 5x that today.

Yeah, you can get your current regiment for under $100/month from the underground.

I am fascinated and listening if and when you wish to elaborate on your research journey.

After my cancer surgeries. 1. Removal of right testicle. 2. Retroperiteneal Lymph Node Dissection (look it up sometime). Eeeeesh. I was left with a fluctuating hormone system. The remaining testicle kicked into overdrive at first and was keeping my T around 700. Then it slowed and with it came extra weight and lethargy. Even though I was working out 5 days a week. I wasn’t strict eating but I was hitting my macros and still getting soft. My PCP would not recommend TRT because I was still around 450. I tried to tell her that was low for my age at the time and although it might be in the normal range, it was low in the range and I wanted to be high in the range. No avail. Finally found a men’s health clinic that agreed but when my blood work came back it showed my SHBG was high and that usually only happens coming off of gear and I had NEVER done anything. Ever. I assume my surgery messed something up but I couldn’t prove it and as such they also refused TRT but dis recommend peptides and some Danazol to lower the SHBG in hopes that free up more T. It did. The GHRP2/GHRP6 combo I was on was great really. Packed on about 7 lbs of lean muscle. Cut 12 lbs of fat all within 2 months without changing anything diet wise. Strength went up too. Was very pleased. Cost became an issue as I added others and then the 26 prices went sky high as well. Still have to watch my SHBG level because it goes high for no reason and Danazol is outlawed now so I’m not sure how I would lower it. Probably high right now really.

You have a strong preference for sticking with the gh secretegogues instead of going directly with hgh? It's substantially cheaper. (2-4IU daily dose for most people and way under $0.50/IU)

Danazol

Nothing is outlawed in India mart pharmacies.

This is true. I’ve had a hard time sourcing any when I’ve looked. I haven’t looked super hard.

No, I didn’t necessarily have a strong preference for it, it’s just what I was prescribed and became comfortable with. Honestly, I’d prefer to have straight Test over HGH but I’ve had poor luck sourcing that as well. I’ve responded well to the secretagogues though. Never really considered HGH though. That is pretty cheap.

You don't know where to get test? It's way easier to find a lifetime supply of trt levels for dirt cheap. www.thinksteroids.com for AAS sourcing. Be warned, they aren't as nice over there as we are.

 

[RocketGotRobbed]

Not that I don't where to get it. I just haven't had much luck. It used to be, back in the day, walk into the gym where the powerlifters hang out and ask. But those days seem to be over, at least in my town. Now, its like the world's best kept secret. I haven't tried looking online. I figured that was next.

Thanks!!
