For something I can drink gallons of, I like weak iced tea. I use Constant Comment decaf, and I just put a splash of concentrate into a glass of ice water. It doesn't have much flavor but it's enough.

OP could be a troll or an advertiser, but if they are a real person I am glad they received some help.

"Use one weird trick to keep your compounding pharmacy open! FDA regulators hate this!"

Quoted for truth! Pioneers get the arrows.

I think the guidelines are not more than twice in a week. Some advise not more than 3x in a month -- though I cannot find a primary source on that, it may be internet nonsense. Regardless, I'd definitely take a break of at least a few days before trying again.

Thought experiment: If every drug that currently exists was made very affordable by law, but the price was no new drugs were ever developed because the pharma was damaged and could not afford research ... Would we be better off, or worse off in terms of life expectancy and quality of life...

Before you spend money on a power system, find a way to actually measure how the temperature in the freezer changes when it loses power. There are inexpensive weather stations with temp sensors that can live in a freezer, for example. There are also temp logging devices, that you could put...

I updated the reconstitution and dosing calculator I made so that it can also track your personal freezer stash of up to 35 items. I also increased the number of custom products you can use from 1 to 25. You can easily define a custom product on the DOSES tab by entering its name and up to 6...

Fortunately I have grey sema on hand now so we will definitely not hesitate to cut over if it starts looking dicey. I was really surprised to get that one vial.

Lyophilized peptides are supposed to be stored under vacuum, right? Maybe that vial lost its seal and the product was exposed to the air during storage. But we get oxygen exposure after reconstitution, too, so I would not expect that to totally clobber potency. Very interesting, I'd like to...

Man, things gonna get interesting. (Why do you get an extension if you are a bigger company? If anything it ought to be the reverse, a bigger business is more likely to weather a loss in revenue.)

AFAIK it's the forum software that disallows that by default. You can pay to unlock that feature, or maybe it's a paid plugin. (This came up on another XenForo forum that I use.)

Before I started the grey world research, we got my wife started on compounded sema from one of the big name boutique clinics. It wasn't toooo expensive for the first 3 months, so my project was figuring out the grey world before her dose increased and the price became bananas. ANYWAY -- They...

1. Donate to cancer research. 2. Cancer is cured! 3. You get cancer. 4. You cannot afford the cure. The system works!!1

IMHO we're all still participating in the same capitalist system. By going grey we are saying, "that official product is too expensive." Either way, the big guys lose the sale. Hopefully, the total amount of non-buyers causes price corrections and competition. We're all in the system, unless...

You are welcome, I hope it's useful. But really, really, keep your head screwed on and check the math. I don't think there are any errors... But make sure you understand it before you believe it. :)

What do we have to do to get privs to post in Vendor Connection as a regular user? I wanted to post a question following a vendor's post, but I don't have the privileges yet. Can I track my progress towards that? I've been a good boy so far, honest.

This is fair. I made an edit.

My first order ever was with them and it was smooth. Of course, as @geoguy78 pointed out... I found other options that would have saved some dough right after I placed my order. I can't say if the sema I got is any good as it is still in the freezer, but I had seen enough testimonials --...

I STRONGLY support OR CONDEMN the current thing that MAY OR MAY NOT be happening, WHATEVER it is OR IS NOT, and WHOEVER IS or IS NOT responsible. Thank you, and may Gort blargh America. 🦅

It almost certainly is, but since using the gear just takes flipping a switch... I'm gonna do it. :)

I'm still in the research/freezer stocking phase and have yet to reconstitute, but I am looking forward to it. When I do, I will do the work at my laminar flow workbench which I use for culturing gourmet mushrooms. This device creates a gentle flow of sterile air, giving you a semi-magical...

Cooll, thanks. I updated it to 2-4-6-8-10-12 for reta. It's easy to change if needed. (And everyone can put their own custom dosing tiers in anyway.)

When I looked into reta dosing I had a hard time finding a consensus as with sema. If there is a less wrong set of numbers I can use I am happy to update it.

Down the road I may set it so that visitors can edit the file, but I'd then have to protect almost every cell other than the few places you are supposed to customize. It would be a different kind of PITA for everyone.

I wanted a different way to view vial options and calculate doses, so I made a spreadsheet. Some of you may be interested in using it too. While the spreadsheet is large, it only asks you to think about TWO NUMBERS... The amount of product in a vial (in mg) and the amount of bac used (in mL)...

Red light therapy is very interesting. It sounded like pure snake oil when I heard about it, but I was surprised to see there was real science behind it. I have not used it for hair -- there is no hope for this balding old dude -- but it has been good for my skin and some aches and pains. I...

I'm considering HK for my next order. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Please keep the reports coming!

Long shot, but... Since you just moved is there anything new or different in your physical routine? Different furniture, sleeping setup? I ask because I had this problem once... Weird numb patches on my shins. I was about to go to the doctor, then I realized... I had been using a new knee...

That's more than I need, but I also hoard STLs, haha.

I'm not even sure what I need down the road but I think I am ordering more sema in the next few days... I have the freezer space.

Nope, it really isn't that hidden. Things could get interesting.

Next question is... Will the people cut off from compounding realize there is a grey market, and would an influx of noobs be bad for seasoned peptide pros like ourselves?

There is a brief discussion of this on Reddit. So far no one seems sure what to expect for the future of compounding.

Can you recommend a forum like this one for TRT? I'd like to lurk and read more.

Did you ever find or make a printable case for the 30 mL Hospira vials?

TRT is interesting 'cuz who doesn't want to feel better, but somehow it feels much much more scary than injecting myself, I mean my research rats, with grey market semaglutide.

Assuming that Bunny is legit and not a bot beep boop thanks for the report. :) This is a vendor I have been trying to get a read on. One more data point.

As a new user, the difficulty in finding trustworthy reviews is very challenging. The incentives to shill are very high. If you hang out a while you get to know who the real people are, but it seems like most are still reluctant to share their opinions on good sources. Man, if it is bad now...

I made contact with SRY in pricing research, but I'm not dialed in, can you summarize the price hike? Maybe I should order something sooner than later.

Oh that's pretty interesting.

Dumb question here, forgive me. When people do independent testing, what's the usual procedure? Do other folks chip in, or does someone generally sacrifice a vial and testing costs just to be nice? And, how much is testing?

I assume that if you use a GLP-1 telehealth clinic that sends an Rx to a compounding pharmacy, the pharmacy is not squirting Ozempic pens into a sterile vial and shipping it to you. So... Where do those peptides come from? Are they using the same Chinese suppliers as gray market enthusiasts...

This is not the first time this item has been posted here, but I think it's cool, so forgive me. I had been storing 3 mL vials in the freezer, within a small styrofoam box with ice packs, to try and reduce temperature swings during the defrost cycle and open door times. But the styrofoam box...

Holy smokes! Thanks for sharing. That's a good lesson.

Yeah I have a 5 mg kit now and it priced out that even if I wasted a little on the way up, it was a better deal than a 2 mg kit. Edit to add: The vendor said it was a 3 mL vial so no more than 2.5 mL to reconstitute. I'll get smaller syringes so it's easier to draw up.

TYVM @chmuse ! You are right, the vials are awfully small. I asked the vendor what the maximum volume was. I have a deep freezer in the garage so I was going to put the vials in there... inside of a small cooler with ice packs inside, too. That should keep it pretty stable.

I have used Rx semaglutide before but I am giving the world of gray a try due to costs. I've done a lot of reading here but I want to confirm a few things. Thanks if you can give me some pointers. Bacteriostatic water vials These should be kept in the dark at room temperature, correct? Dry...
