I have never done it subq. But I heard from others that they tend to experience more discomfort compared to IM. IM is not perfect and you can experience a little Post Injection Pain. But you have to inject slow is what I found that helps. And you can use numbing cream that will help too.

It is not a silly question at all. My delts handle my PIP (Post Injection Pain) pretty well after I inject it. You can any intramuscular site but my delts just work well for me. The leg muscles are good too. But because you don't need alot of volume to inject L-Carn (usually 1 or 2 mL), the...

That is what it is all about! Congrats, Zip!!!

Can someone say this louder? Thank you for posting.

The new landscape is coming. Grey is being glorified and exploited to the mass as if it is the best and cheapest pharmacy in the world. But, I am not surprised. It is very unfortunate news but Big Pharma + FDA are at it again.

Pharmaceutical-grade options do exist in China as well. The real challenge is accessibility for individuals like us who don't have prescriptions and navigating the regulatory landscape and sourcing channels can be complex. I'm not familiar with Korea's pharmaceutical access system, but I'll...

Key supplements I would research and add to your stack (based on your goals) are: Lion's Mane (500-1000mg daily): Stimulates nerve growth factor (NGF) production, promoting neurogenesis and myelin repair. Clinical studies show improved cognitive function after 4-8 weeks. N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine...

There is no judgement here. And congrats on 6+ years of sobriety! That's a huge achievement. NAD+ is excellent for your goals. It directly supports cellular energy and neuronal repair. Start with 50-75mg subq 3x weekly. Many people notice improved mental clarity within 2-4 weeks. The anti-aging...

I believe I can share alot of insight here. But, I need to understand your goal. What are you trying achieve by taking each of them?

I am happy for your desire and eagerness to meet your goal, but don't set yourself up for disappointment. You should aim too lose 2lbs a week to give your body time to adjust. And not training is a tough one which means you will most likely have to deal with the challenge of the lose skin...

I just want to say a simple thank you 😊

I’m not the least bit surprised by these findings. These medications have long been a transformative tool for so many. At a fundamental level, when you feel your best and look your best, every other area of life tends to align with that energy. Thanks for sharing! This was a genuinely...

I come across her videos frequently on TikTok. There’s a clear distinction between being informative, which is what most people value on the platform, and being exploitative. She initially shared knowledgeable content, but over time, her approach has shifted to something far more opportunistic...

Hey everyone, I want to clarify a few things. I appreciate the pushback and genuinely respect the perspectives shared. My post wasn’t meant to insult or look down on anyone. I’ve been on this journey myself and know how hard it is (mentally, emotionally, and physically). I love GLP-1s. They’ve...

GLP-1s can help with weight loss, but it won't give you the dream body or lasting results you're actually looking for. So let me drop some value that might save you from future disappointment. Weight Loss ≠ Muscle Building GLP-1s suppresses appetite and slows gastric emptying. You might get...

It's a comfortability thing. There are many things that can influence degradation of a peptide in powdered form. Ideally, just pick an area that is cool or cold, and away from the direct sun light. If the box says not to freeze, then store it in a cool place away from the light. Gluta is very...

Congrats on your progress! I want to encourage you to be patient and give it time to work. Realistically, you won’t drop significantly every week. The expectation is a lie for many people. But give your regimen time and after several weeks of no change, then you can make a change. It seems like...

It is still unfortunate news. That’s part of it. Customs is also becoming stricter too from what I have seen. On the bright side, everything will still work out

My starting experience was with Skye to the COAs. They are quite professional too. And I think someone mentioned you can request Bac Water with your order. But overall, they were a good starting place for me and I could trust the vendor.

Congrats, brother! You are on a strong journey. My journey started with TRT and Tirz. It compounded my fitness goals because I stayed consistent in the gym and with my eating. My body transformed from 300lbs to 195lbs. And my physique is on the leaner muscular side and I am still striving to be...

Thanks for sharing. I get my glutathione from Defy Medical which sources through Empower Pharmacy. I pay about $100 + $41 in express shipping for a 30 mL vial. But, to be honest, outsourcing just seems like more bang for your buck. It is all dependent on your comfort level.

From my personal experience with L-Carnitine injections, I inject L-Carnitine intramuscularly daily in my delts and take my time with the injection process. Here's what I've experienced: Immediate Effects: Occasionally I get a slight tingle during injection that fades quickly Most of the time...

I ordered 2 30mL vials. Both were compounded in Feb 2025. It is good until the end of September 2025.

It has preservatives in it. At least, the one that comes from Empower Pharmacy. it doesn't degrade right away and is still good for use. I have no dog in this fight. I just love to learn and come up with interesting learnings. I am going to look into the Korean options. I didn't know this was a...

I totally understand the excitement of getting started. Everyone wants results fast. But it’s really important to slow down and take the time to dig, read, and learn the landscape first. This space operates in a grey area, and that can feel uncertain or even scary at times. Unfortunately, there...

Hey everyone, I wanted to check if there are any updates or recent experiences with this vendor. I came across them during my search for NMN, which has been tricky to source reliably. They popped up on the Jano Testing website, so I dove into some heavy research to vet them. From what I’ve...

That’s quite interesting. Thanks for sharing. Another popular option people often explore is Defy Medical, which sources from a 503a compounding pharmacy. It runs about $100 for a 30 mL vial at 200mg/mL + $41 express shipping. It is the cheapest because I went through many places before...

This is quite odd. This email contains several red flags that suggest it could be questionable business practice: Urgency tactics: "Stock up now before changes take effect" Fear-based messaging: Suggesting future unavailability Bulk purchase pressure: Progressive pricing to encourage larger...

The results are modest to minimal, but it is not worth the cost. It can't be taken alone and needs to be paired with a GLP-1 to see real effects. There so many options that you can pair your GLP-1 with to see better results than to use AOD. But, I am not knocking anyone who uses it. To each it's...

2mL of Bac Water is what worked for me. My goal was to get 400 mcg of BPC-157, 2 mg of GHK-Cu per dose. It is what is working for me.

Selank is enhancing your brain's GABA system (the calming neurotransmitter), which explains your drowsiness and lower heart rate. It's not making your medications useless. It's actually working alongside them, creating a combined effect that's too sedating. Selank doesn't reduce serotonin. It...

Hey guys, I spent months researching and taking L-Carnatine and realized why most people think L-Carnitine is useless. The truth is that it's VERY effective if you actually use it right. Here's what most people don't know: Why L-Carnitine "doesn’t work" for most: Poor oral absorption (~10%)...

The New Tariff Structure Basically, under the executive order issued on Monday, May 12, 2025: - The tariff rate on small packages from China will be reduced from 120% to 54% - The flat fee option will remain at $100 per package - The previously planned increase to $200 in June has been canceled...

I've had a really positive experience with retatrutide. Even at low doses, it seems effective for me. It helps set the stage for building healthier habits. The appetite suppression can be hit or miss depending on the person. For example, I usually lose my appetite the day after my injection, but...

That’s a great point. It’s surprising how easily even established vendors can have quality control slip-ups, like rubber fragments from vial tops. It really shows that visual inspection isn’t always enough to guarantee safety, and contaminants aren’t always what they seem. Even with trusted...

Hey everyone, I know it sounds a bit out there, but I keep seeing more and more videos on TikTok and other social media (especially in peptide communities) where people claim to find literal bugs-or other contaminants-in their overseas peptides. Honestly, this raises a bunch of questions for...

Hey everyone, I've been diving deep into peptide handling protocols lately and wanted to start a discussion about something that seems simple but could make a huge difference in your research: Do you filter your reconstituted peptides before use, or do you use them as is? Why This Matters...

Hi Coco, I am with Andy on the AOD 9604. There are so many better choices to choose from that all you will receive more return on your investment. The CJC/Ipamorelin blend is a great addition (5 days on/2 days off) regimen.

You all made some good point and thank you all for responding. It is a critical misunderstanding many people have about GLP-1 medications like Reta and Tirz. The distinction between "eliminating all hunger" versus "managing hunger to achieve weight loss" is incredibly important. The therapeutic...

My choices would be CJC 1295/Ipamorelin blend which is great for retaining muscle and losing fat among other things. MOTS-C is good too. However, Lipo-C, I am newly trying but this is more supportive and all Lipo-Cs are not made the same. Some all severely underdosed so I wouldn't expect big...

Hey everyone! I've been noticing something that's got me thinking. So many of us (myself included) started these GLP-1 medications with this dream that we'd just... stop feeling hungry. And when we do feel hunger? Many of us panic and rush to increase our dose! I fell into this trap early...

Hey everyone, Glad to join this community! I’m a lifelong learner and experimenter when it comes to peptides and GLP-1s. My health transformation (from 280 lbs to 193 lbs) has been powered by my curiosity and willingness to explore new approaches. A big part of my journey involved TRT and...
