    Tirz Burning Poll

    Out of the 4 ish months that I have been using Tirz, I recently had some burning (amo T60) that lasted for a few minutes. I am pretty sure I hit some scar tissue though as I was trying a new spot on my stomach 😅 That was the one and only time though. Every other time has been a breeze thankfully.

    New and looking for guidance

    Man I wish every new member was as informed as you when they started posting 😅 There are other places that would have a lot of the information that you are looking for but they don't allow posting links and are invite only. I did see someone post https://peptide.chat/ the other day, which I...

    Pharmacists & Compounders Speak On Shortage, Express Concerns About Research Peptides

    Oh I'm aware as I have a bunch of family that are in the medical field and I do feel for them. Well, at least most of them. I have met, and am unfortunately related, to a few that feel nothing for the people they treat and are purely there to make as much money as possible. Recently, a friend...

    Average GB Markup

    I mean, they had a decent sale on labor day so it seems fair to assume they, like other vendors, will have another sale at some point. They are definitely not the cheapest if that is what matters to you most but I personally feel like for tirz that is starting to split hairs unless you are...

    Pharmacists & Compounders Speak On Shortage, Express Concerns About Research Peptides

    Profit before all feels like the ultimate answer to any asinine decision that is made up there. Whenever I ask myself who this benefits, it's never me or you. It always feels like scrooge mcduck is in charge of the things that affects us, and not an actual person with a conscience.

    What do you expect from a vendor?

    Besides all of the major stuff that has already been touched on, my biggest expectations from any China based vendor would be that it not kill me 😅 I don't want my weight loss to be instantaneous. But seriously, my biggest expectation is forms of payment that are not crypto. I'm not sure what...

    Where to buy Hospira water?

    My understanding is that the manufacture actually advises against storing in the refrigerator. I just threw mine in the closet and put some old towels over it to ensure it doesn't see the light 🫣

    FDA to review Lilly Tirz shortage decision.

    I'm not a food scientist but it's the thing that has changed the most in the last 70 years along side the obesity rates. Even before starting on medications, I tried my hardest to only cook things at home from ingredients that are whole or natural. Can't say I was successful as doughnuts sure...

    FDA to review Lilly Tirz shortage decision.

    Not to defend them, because I think the prices are criminal, but if I had to think of two reasons they don't and wont lower the prices, the first would be the patent time frame and the second would be shareholders. First point is pretty simple in that they need to get as much money as possible...

    FDA to review Lilly Tirz shortage decision.

    Anything that helps the American people get access to healthcare more affordably is great in my book and I agree that for a lot of people, they have no business going gray but that doesn't mean they should have to pay out the butt just because they are uncomfortable messing with research...

    Don’t trust vendor tests

    I noticed that some servers/groups will release test info to the wider public after a certain amount of time has passed and compile the information, usually only on their sites, so as to help keep tabs of how vendors are doing. I think this is a good middle ground as @exploitedworkerbee is...

    Tirz-Appetite suppression or weight loss?

    Considering my own experience, it's crazy to me that 5mg isn't considered a therapeutic dose and that they are considering moving all the way up to 25mg but as long as it works for people that's all that really matters. I think when I get to the point that the medicine is increasingly not...

    Combining GLP-1 medication with behavior modification

    This is how I feel. I have always known what I needed to do but it seemed like I was always fighting myself upon trying to implement it. Eat a nice salad? Yeah that was nice and all but wouldn't it be great to chase it with a cheeseburger? Says my brain to me. I kind of hate that all it took was...

    Compounding group sues FDA for removing Lilly's weight loss drug from shortage list

    If the majority can stay on compounded if they win this case, then I would struggle to believe that they would do more than send C&D letters to domestic based vendors and attempt to send letters to overseas vendors. Now if millions of Americans start using gray because that is the only way to...

    Compounding group sues FDA for removing Lilly's weight loss drug from shortage list

    Yes and no. Sure this doesn't really affect me anymore but beyond my own selfishness I can see how this hurts people if cheaper access to medicine isn't secured. But beyond even that, I see no reason to think we couldn't be in this situation in the future when talking about the next big thing...

    Couple of newbie questions, please and thank you!

    I would say so and if I was guessing I would have to agree with @clevesand that it is probably because of how similar it is to every other e-commerce site. Add thing to cart, pay with credit card or paypal and it shows up pretty quickly all things considered. I know it's not the cheapest...

    AmoPure Emerges From AmoPeptide Tirzwreck UPDATED*

    This brings up a question that I have had for a while now but do the peps "settle" for lack of a better word in the reconstituted solution? I have seen people mention this occasionally but haven't seen too many people actually discuss it. I always assumed that they were completely emulsified.

    Compounding group sues FDA for removing Lilly's weight loss drug from shortage list

    How did you choose your goal weight?

    At first, I figured I would shoot for what I weighed in HS as that is probably when I was at my healthiest but I didn't really account for what I was doing at the time that got me to that weight. Lifting weights as an elective class and constant sports combined with the adderall that the...

    Amopure stinging (here we go again)

    You know, after finishing up the game of operation that is filtering and reconstituting at my kitchen table, I actually saved the empty amo vial and put it on my desk. I was just staring at it and noticed just how deep the port goes on each side compared to the ks-tek ones that I put the...

    Amopure stinging (here we go again)

    So I just reconstituted another T60 for another RS and god are the ports on the amo vials hard as a rock. I also noticed that it took a lot longer for this one to completely dissolve before I could pull it into the syringe to filter into another vial. Just wanted to add another one to the pile...

    Freezers?

    As if harm was the only consideration the DEA ever had for what it schedules in what category. I would not be shocked to see it scheduled, if only because it benefits those who make the stuff and my RS doesn't really wanna risk jail time to not be fat 😅

    Freezers?

    I mean, if I had the option of NG where I was I would definitely consider a generator that could use it like a whole house unit if I could afford it. The new generator I'm getting is dual fuel so I can use propane if I need to in a pinch. As a resident of a gulf state, I have gotten use to what...

    Predicting Vendor Sales/Promo Trends

    Freezers?

    At $150 dollars if it lasts at least 3 years, while not optimal, wouldn't be TOO bad $ wise. Yeah I currently got them in one of the chest freezers in the garage because of how much better the chest freezers are at keeping temp and not fluctuating when opened. The only stinker is that setting...

    I know it's not going anywhere I just figured it would be a neat thought experiment to see if it could be done in the pursuit of making it last longer. I am definitely going to do a little more research and pick up one of these little cheapo freezers from amazon and see how cold we can really...

    Freezers?

    I think this would be an interesting topic for the new supplies and accessories group so I will propose the question. If it doesn't really fit here please move it or I can delete it. Would it potentially make a difference in longevity of the peptides if they were stored below -20c? Now I know...

    I can't and will not directly say who to buy from but I can say I have seen people who have used Skye here so I would just keep reading to see if people are happy with them or not. As to testing, that is all on you and your comfort level when it comes to risk. I would look for reports that come...

    Tirzepatide shortage is over

    I am kind of interested to see if this causes vendors to lower or raise their prices. Also kind of curious if this many people looking at them will get them unwanted attention from their government but I haven't been involved long enough to know if that's something they even care about.

    Getting enough nutrition

    Some protein every day and a multivitamin. Also, enough calories. A lot of people want to loose super fast and that is fine but for me I don't want to risk creating more health issues trying to fix the first one.

    Tis the season…

    Tirzepatide shortage is over

    I think for a lot of people, they simply want people to put in the same amount of effort and care that they did when they started. Asking "Hey did you guys feel like triz was actually better at quieting food noise" is a lot different from asking about "bacteria water" for the 10th time today. As...

    Tirzepatide shortage is over

    What is happening here (research) is outside of the purview of the FDA, at least as it stands now. In the future, you might see more pressure from other departments (DEA) or simply the lawyers that lily can afford but right now, the ruling only affects compounding.

    Overfill — a good or bad thing?

    I figure it’s not that common because people test as often as they do. In an unregulated market where nobody is testing I think most of these venders would be tempted to under fill, cut with something else or otherwise find ways to get more from each transaction. I do wish testing it was cheaper...

    Both vials I have tried from Amo were like this. I have since moved them to another vial after filtering which has a much nicer port. Glad to know it's not just me messing up needles on those things.

    Tirzepatide shortage is over

    I really hope you are right as this is my biggest fear. It would be really easy for the FDA/DEA to move them into the controlled substances list and make it 20x harder and riskier to try and bring into the country. They have made far dumber decisions for far less money. I went and found the...
