What, that he'll try to drum up big rush orders now, and then start shipping again before the US can even get from flip to flop?

That IS a big issue. But also I'm a moron because had I only clicked on the images, I'd have known where the blockage occurred. So today is Moron Monday

Another issue is that your particular batch of lyophilized peptides might have a significant overfill. E.g., although marked 10mg,it might actually lab-test at 12.1 mg That's just one reason I like to pre-plan my current (and next-step) draw amount in nice round units, and then use the reverse...

You've probably waited for years for something to help you lose weight. You can wait another 2.5 weeks before (safely) starting your retatrutide, no?

The best/cheapest way to buy single vials is from one of a few individuals who run split-shipping services. They buy a full kit and you pay them the pro-rated cost of one or more vials from it, plus a small fee or two to cover the individual reshipping, credit card fee, packing materials, etc...

Pattern.

They're unnecessarily expensive, especially for an unknown vendor/reseller. The make-believe CoA that doesn't even pretend to be from an independent lab is a special piece of work, especially given that it shows poor purity for the tested substance. If I were you, I'd ditch it (and the...

This is the premise behind the stupid yet engaging Prime Video teevee series Upload.

The emphasis is on "borrowing terminology". These vendors shouldn't be allowed to post the term "group buy" on their promo sales... there's no batch-level independent lab testing program, let alone an honest and reliable one; there's no negotiation for better pricing & policies; there's no...

If they're Batch G2025031250, clear green cap/silver crimp, and you have the patience to wait out the process, there's a group-test of it forming https://t.me/+RnqzWvXDzsc4YzQx (I found it on Flying Purple Pep Guild's Telegram: https://t.me/+wLpJL2bMgkNhMTJh )

I'm pretty sure the people on these forums who are advocating for Medicaid coverage of GLP-1s aren't advocating for themselves. But maybe they're advocating for the 300 lb person who would otherwise get a job as, say, a cashier but for the fact that 300 lbs on two feet for 8 hours doesn't...

Are you referring to the U.S. Military as a dumping ground for otherwise unemployable or marginally-employable people, a last resort for the minimally competent?

[Oops ... the always-amazing @chmuse beat me to this answer! But I'll leave it as I wrote it, for the sake of redundancy.] Also, and this is CRITICALLY IMPORTANT, it's not clear if you understand the difference between the "units" marked on your syringe and the dosage (usually in mg) that...

I hate 1mL syringes because of their tick=2 units problem. I now use 0.5mL syringes (tick=1 unit) but will next try the 0.5 unit ticks that some 0.3mL syringes have. What you might be missing, though, is reconstituting with convenient draws in mind. Next time you reconstitute, determine what...

The 'overpay' referred to the promo sales that many vendors frequently offer; not to price negotiations / haggling.

Thigh should be the inner front thigh For abdomen, always stay at least two inches from navel (there are lots of nerves around the navel area)

Venmo is strictly for USA use, and requires a US bank account and a US telephone number. I'm sure there are ways around the bank account thing, but what really is the Venmo necessity for a Chinese vendor?

No, splitting is unnecessary for this use case, and introduces new opportunities for contamination. Shoot for 10-50 unit draws.

Yes! There seems to be some urge to dilute beyond what's needed to dissolve, or to fill the vial up. ~1mL of bac water PER 3mL VIAL OF ANY MASS (adjusted up or down per reverse calculator and target # of units to match number indications on syringe) does the trick. Lots of headroom in the...

As you can see, I'm doing a stationary sit-up/feet-up, and barely touching the stack of jumbo pancakes. Yet.

@Jenocide I DMd you.

I thought it was more that it was considered merely a cosmetic treatment, not medical. Not to mention easily avoidable through diet & exercise & lifestyle change & willpower & chewing each mouthful 100 times & ordering the dietetic cottage cheese platter

Many people on these forums consider three months to be the outer limit for refrigerated reconstituted peptides, assuming you alcohol-swab the vial before each draw, and get it back in the fridge quickly (within 1 minute can be doable, with little temperature change). I plan around 3 months of...

@YoloDave I edited this to clarify that I don't mean ~1mL per injection, but per vial

That's incorrect. All official tirzepatide injector pen doses are in 0.5mL of fluid. So the 15mg injector is in 0.5mL, meaning a concentration of 30mg/mL. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/drugs-zepbound-dosage A lot of water (>1.5mL) injected subcutaneously is associated with more...

The issue is much more easily understood if we use the term new taxes, which is what they are. The "tariffs" part is just a technical mechanism.

But it's WEEKS of reading--not hours and hours--that are the necessary tradeoff vs paying >$1,000 a month on the name-brand stuff. And it concerns medical things which can be dangerous if not done right (e.g., accidentally reconstituting to 10x intended concentration/dosing ... or not...

They neither blame nor applaud. They simply state that the Biden administration had made a proposal for change, and that the Trump administration scrapped it.
