    Dose: Side Effects vs Results

    The chart seems to indicate that you pretty much lose all that your going to lose in the first 60-72wks. What this chart doesn't tell you is how much people lose that titrate from 2.5-15mg over 48 or 60 weeks. Do they continue to lose beyond 60 weeks or would they still plateau? I think in...

    Addiction to incretin mimetics

    That was going to be my response but I realized that there is nothing we are going say to change the opinion of the OP so why bother.

    Nexaph Reta 12 mg - neon green cap under- performing 89-92 % re-testing

    I bought mine via Raven but volunteered a vial for the Nexaph 3P testing. Why not, its a free test (except the cost of the vial which was like $20-$25) of the peps I actually own. I tested my Tirz stash before it went into the pep freezer and will likely test it again after 12 months or any...

    Pep Pen aka insulin pen peptide pen information

    Sterilizing carts (the right way) is a process. I have never done it but there are threads here and on other sites that explain how to do it correctly. With sterile carts costing like $1 each, I'll let the people with proper autoclaves do it for me.

    Purchased Tirz 30 from SRY Quality questionable

    I'm not sure if this helps but I ordered T30 from SRY (red cap) back in October and had it tested at PepTest - 35.57mg / 99.7%. I haven't reconstituted yet and probably won't for a long time.

    What are you guys typical weekly dose?

    17.5 (15/6*7=17.5). Sorry, my 5 day dosing schedule has me doing this every time I consider titrating up.

    Legal chat: Are we co-conspirators?

    I appreciate all of the attorneys in the house taking the time to weigh in on this topic. I am not an attorney a fact that my attorney wife frequently points out whenever I talk about anything legal related. Her line "are you an attorney? Then shut the f&^k up!". So have learned to keep quiet...

    Legal chat: Are we co-conspirators?

    My wife is a family law attorney and she is to the point she doesn't tell people because once they find out they feel they must share their custody or divorce case with her to get her opinion. She has been through more hair stylists than I can count (they all have drama).

    Pep Pen aka insulin pen peptide pen information

    Make sure there are no air bubbles in the cart. It's common to see a drop or so come out of the needle after injecting but more than that it's either air or you are not waiting 10-15 seconds after you stop pushing the plunger to withdraw the needle. Even a small air bubble will cause issues.

    Addiction to incretin mimetics

    I think there is a difference between addiction and dependency. Are diabetics addicted to insulin or dependent on insulin? If they were to lose access to pharmacy provided insulin would they risk acquiring it through other channels?

    Newbie

    Never tried glow and have their Tirz but haven't pinned it yet. ASC is usually pretty reliable. Two weeks from order to my door the last time I ordered. Great communication and provided a tracking number within a day or two of order placement. The tracking usually doesn't update until the...

    What do you consider a stall in your weight loss journey?

    I don't track calories but do loosely track in my head. I tend to eat the same thing every day with the exception of dinner. If I go >2 weeks with no loss I change something up. Usually it's eat a couple of hundred extra calories one day. If I have been on the same dose for more than about 6...

    Pep Pen aka insulin pen peptide pen information

    Are you sure there are no air bubbles in the cart? Even a small bubble will throw the dose off. Make sure to prime the needle first by pushing through a unit or two, i don't do this when dosing but for this test I made sure it was primed. Also, you have to wait after pressing the plunger...

    Pep Pen aka insulin pen peptide pen information

    I feel the test I did with an empty vial and an insulin syringe is pretty accurate. If I push out .5ml and suck up .5ml where is the margin for error other than maybe a film water on the sides and bottom of the vial. I (currently) don't own a mg scale and as others have said I think the...

    GYC shipping vials with zero peptides detected

    Krysia's (who has spent a lot of time researching this issue and talking with people directly involved) current leaning is that this was not the freight forwarder but more likely a finisher that GYC and a couple of GB's were buying from provided zero peptide product.

    Take Tirzepatide dose despite current bowel issues?

    I would take the dose, but I have zero medical training so you might want to wait for others to weigh in. I assume you are starting at 2.5mg?

    Does anyone buy "raw powder"?

    I made this intended to be sarcastic comment and then checked Amazon. They actually do sell a lyophilizer for $4300. Anyone gonna buy one, then you too can save $$ doing it yourself. What could possibly go wrong...

    Does anyone buy "raw powder"?

    Looks like we have another one. "I'm gonna just buy raws and save a ton of money." I heard Amazon sells a home lyophilization kit for like $99.

    GYC shipping vials with zero peptides detected

    You know, I read through Krysia's investigative work on the Swiss and didn't catch that. This kinda blows my "bad raws" theory to hell. I'm going to back and read Krysia's write-up again.

    Understanding risks involved with suboptimal purity of gray peptides

    There are but it is expensive. Sabrina F (who I don't think is on this site) setup her own group testing site where she would contract with third party labs to go deeper. I am not knowledgeable enough to understand all of the tests that were available. I also didn't really understand most...

    GYC shipping vials with zero peptides detected

    I still don't buy it. The difference in creating zero peptide lyophilized powder and the real thing is the cost of the raws, which is likely not more than 25% of the manufacturing/finishing costs. The FF would need to know the cap colors in advance or take the time to recap all of the vials...

    I’m curious, has anyone ever reconstituted, filtered, then sent out for testing?

    I have never really had a problem filtering but I haven't tried any of the more high viscosity peps/solutions. Usually, once I get the fluid flowing through it moves pretty easily.

    Pep Pen aka insulin pen peptide pen information

    Just an update, I checked the calibration on one of my pens today. I have several, both V1 and V2 models, and tested with a V1. I loaded a spent cartridge with tap water, installed a used needle (nice not to have to worry about sterility), removed the air from the cart and primed it. I...

    I’m curious, has anyone ever reconstituted, filtered, then sent out for testing?

    If you pre-wet the filter there is almost no fluid lost to the filter, I also push a little air through it by leaving air at the top of the syringe with the peps. Needle > Filter > Syringe > Peps > Air I have reconned with 3ml in a pen and it worked out exactly 3ml of shots.

    GYC shipping vials with zero peptides detected

    They have to order a 1000 vials (maybe more) in the right cap colors and have enough advance notice of the cap colors to do it. Open each box and replace the vials? It just seems a little far fetched to me. The more likely scenario is one of their raw providers but its odd that it is over...

    GYC shipping vials with zero peptides detected

    I think it is a little unbelievable that a FF had the exact cap colors and went through the process of lyophilizing mannitol with no peptides included just to defame GYC. More likely the raws were bunk or the finisher forgot to put them in the mix. Is it possible this is corporate espionage...

    Pep Pen aka insulin pen peptide pen information

    I typically (but not always) wipe mine with the same prep pad I use on my skin. Almost all of the pens take a standard 3ml cartridge I tested mine once and it seemed accurate, maybe I need to test it again. There is no way that I know of to adjust them.

    Logostics of group buying/testing groups

    1. If you want 2nd and 3rd party tested peptides buy from PGB, but they have a fairly limited catalog. 2. If you want tested peptides order from CN and send for testing yourself. If spread over 2-3 kits, its not too expensive 3. If you choose to go the group buy route make sure you follow the...

    Pep Pen aka insulin pen peptide pen information

    I have used the same needle to pin from two different pens in the same session. Not as hygienic as using a new pin but I think its pretty low risk. I have read that storing the pens with needles installed can cause the pen to leak.

    Pep Pen aka insulin pen peptide pen information

    Yes, you can take one pen and swap carts in and out. You just have to move the plunger to the right position in the cart each time you swap using a method similar to getting the air out of a new cart.
