It is my understanding that Alice has fixed the problems with the orders from people who received red dye instead of active product. I was going to delete my sarcastic post, but it's too late for me to do that. My understanding from long-time purchasers of grey products is that if a vendor...

Are you saying that you don't see any?

I believe Amo and SRY use Alibaba Pay. Amo charges about 3% extra with Alibaba Pay; SRY charges 6% more (or did about 2 months ago).

Since XCE was gone before I started using weight loss peptides, I don't feel any nostalgia for the good ole days. I'm sure their product was top notch, but prices in those days were crazy.

There is a decent chance that one of the vendors that we're using right now, someone who appears on this forum, is actually Tracy. Or that several of them work for Tracy. My guess is that none of our forum vendors are Tracy, but it could be. If Tracy managed to keep her posts polite, we'd...

Krysia had a good review of Uther on Swiss. It included a hilarious exchange of direct messages. The orders from Uther were intercepted by customs several times. Yet he continued shipping to a first time customer.

What would that accomplish?

That’s because you believe the one and only person to buy from is Cain.

If something grey takes 2-3 weeks to arrive after you order it from overseas, that's pretty much normal.

Didn't TFC sell lipo-C that tested as having nothing but red dye in it? If you're planning on buying from her, you can just skip the testing knowing that you're getting red dye. Ava has recently started selling a lot. I believe her stuff has tested well but even by the standards of grey...

I'm pretty sure that what you buy from Cain was manufactured in China. 我很确定你从 Cain 购买的东西是中国制造的。

I recall reading previously, probably on the same site, as to the study being extended. I believed more than one person posted that. It would be good to have the additional data.

My not so scientific study shows that out of the one occasion when I was scammed, I sent money to Tracy and my beautiful girl failed to deliver her product. In other words, 100% of the time the scam involves the vendor not sending the product.

The article answers that question: "Rather than injecting the regular introductory weekly dose, people are only taking half that amount or less." For tirzepatide, that would be 1.25 mg per week or less. For semaglutide, that's .125 mg per week or less. I suspect most of the claimed benefits...

I've heard people who say they're microdosing but just take a GLP-1 7 days per week with the total weekly dose being normal.

After I'm done injecting bacteriostatic water, I always take the plunger out of syringe and stick it in the vial so that the vacuum isn't maintained. I dislike fighting with the vial to get the liquid out.

It's still better to be burping than not burping. I'm not saying that the sulphur burps are great, but after having gas stuck in you that won't get out, taking something simethicone pills (Gas-X) is quite a relief. Simethicone works by making the gas bubbles in you smaller so they get out...

I was so incredibly nervous before my first injection. Then I finally stuck it in my stomach and it that was so easy to do that the whole situation seemed comical.

Some heart rate increase is normal.

I wasn't familiar until I started reconstituting. I give OP credit for stopping and asking before proceeding.

Do you have a link without a paywall?

It's hard to argue with success.

SSA is also having some sort of promotion where tirz can be purchased for less than 50 cents per milligram. It looks like the prices of peptides are continuing their trend of going down despite greater customs enforcement in the US and the crackdown in China.

I purchased from Tracy at QSC. Tracy is a vendor who has been selling grey products since 2021; that's a very long time in the grey market. Then, after I paid for my order, Tracy disappeared.

Because folk believe they'll getter a price if dealing directly with a manufacturer. I don't agree with the reasoning.

That may just be wishful thinking on workerbee's part.

ZippityDooDah last posted in October of 2024. https://glp1forum.com/threads/not-a-research-expert.1618/post-23906 He did have a previous long break, with no posts after November 21, 2023, until April 1, 2024. I do hope he is okay.

There is a link explaining how to use PGB in my signature line.

I do have a vendor list, STG vendor list, attached to my signature. It provides contact information on vendors. I could have gone to elaborate lengths to create an Google version of Excel sheet with phony contact information on vendors, but it's a little harder to do than just sending a fake...

But quite expensive. I did use them recently when I wanted to try reta. I wanted a small amount to try, wanted to get it quick, and wanted to avoid testing it. It arrived and worked fine (of course). For a situation where you use something regularly, I'd try other suppliers.

I've read your October stuff. You were smart then too. You might have been stupid in September; you didn't post anything then.

The FDA usually doesn’t normally take enforcement actions against 503A pharmacies even though the FDA is legally empowered to do so. The FDA leave that to state regulators. If state regulators tell your pharmacy that it can’t do something, it takes an enormously brave person to defy them...

What you wrote make sense. I do note that the text of the US code makes the prescriber the person who determines the medical need. I wonder if Eli Lilly or the FDA can override these determinations based upon them being obvious subterfuges. Also, I wonder whether state medical boards would get...

I'm pretty sure he did it in the same way everyone else tests for purity: He sent it to a lab that conducts these tests. Testing GLP-1 drugs for purity is not a do-it-yourself thing.

I would suggest that you order from someone that many people order from.

Some compounding pharmacies are already doing so.

Am I oversimplifying? Definitely. If you wanted a more detailed explanation, you'd have to ask a person with more knowledge. I have never taken an economics course. Is it a false dichotomy? Although this is speculation, it's my opinion that without companies making huge profits, these drugs...

The 503B pharmacies clearly cannot get around compounding restrictions simply by adding something for a specific patient. The 503A pharmacies may do so. Section 503A bars them generally from compounding what is "essentially a copy of a commercially available drug product" except when done...

Your are correct.

Raped? These drugs would not exist if the US profits didn't motivate their development. Voluntary intercourse might be a better term. If you don't like it, then you don't have to take these drugs, which wouldn't exist with US money.

Before I started reta, my resting heart rate, according to Apple Health, which uses my Apple Watch to keep track, was always in the low 40s. I started about 6 weeks ago, taking 2 mg reta per week. On its highest day, my resting heart rate was 57. Recently, it has been in the high 40s. I...

That depends. If they rely on testing, then they adjust the amount of BAC water to add BAC water based upon the amount of the GLP-1 drug in the vial that was tested.

If people call me incompetent, I consider that a compliment since it's so much better than what they usually call me.

Is that what you learned working in a hospital?

But you’re comparing items with dissimilar benefits. As to using Chinese peptides, I have no choice if I want to use Reta. In contrast, I avoid pre filling a syringe because it doesn’t seem to benefit me in anyway and does carry a small amount of additional risk.

If the government says so at the beginning, sure, that's fine. That way the company can decide whether to make use of that funding or not. Practically speaking, I doubt there are many grants for research that don't impose disclosure obligations.

I agree. None of us (or at least few of us) are actually trying to harm ourselves. We're generally trying to improve ourselves. We do take measures, such as researching vendors and following good reconstitution technique, to reduce harm.

I know many compounding pharmacies plan to continue compounding. The FDA's announcement and the court ruling as to it affect only affect one exception to the ban on compounding of patented medications. There are many others. See Food Drug & Cosmetic Act §§ 503A (21 U.S.C. § 353a), 503B (21...

Because the 503B pharmacies are envisioned as compounding beforehand to meet a need. The 503As are only supposed to compound for specific patients. Strictly speaking, it's not size that counts, but the provision that of law that authorizes the compounding that makes a difference.

China is a communist country. I'm fine with people pressing their governments to research pharmaceuticals so long as the governments do not seek to restrict private companies from researching and developing drugs.
