Why are GLPs/peptides so often sent in for testing by customers?

Hey everyone, I’m quite new to GLP’s in the grey market and i’m curious as to why many people like to test the GLP’s and peptides they receive from Chinese vendors.

I know that it’s to make sure the product they receive is actually what they ordered and not some mysterious powder, but…

Is there a decent chance that these sellers may be selling fake/unpure peptides? Wouldn’t these vendors want to make sure to maintain a good reputation?

Thanks!

That is not the norm at all. That is the worst variation in fill that I have seen so far, with one vial (13.76 mg) having half the mg as another (27.45 mg). Most tests don't show any significant variability in fill, even with four vials of a bulk order.

The good thing about GBs is you aren't even paying much for the testing included in the price, which is typically the same or lower than anywhere else for a kit.

Fair enough then. All over the place with this but have reached out in discord to join a r50 testing group as would absolutely contribute to testing. Not heard back yet. I’m all about plugging risk as
much as possible and understand being a lab rat my risk cannot be fully mitigated. Every little helps though I guess 👍

Everything we do carries risks. Taking GLP-1 drugs, even name brand versions, carries risk. Not taking them when you need them also carries risk. You seem to have a healthy attitude - you take reasonable steps to lower risk. You acknowledge that there is still a risk.

Far more likely than intentionally fake is accidentally a different peptide or zero peptide. I am only aware of getting one GLP instead of another, or zero tirz and a smidge a sema.

But if you are expecting T10 and get an overfill of sema, that is a hospital visit in the making.

There has also been zero peptides like in the posts of December 2024 where multiple vendors were affected. That was not intentional just sloppy of multiple vendors with testing.

Most test results are within 10 percent of the labeled number of mg. But like with GHK-Cu, there is sometimes crazy overfill, like 100 mg or 75 mg instead of 50.
