It's not my field, but they're called "blunt filter needles" and seem to all be 18 gauge ... but then you can swap it out for a high-gauge regular needle

4 weeks is the "official" best practice. If you've always swabbed the vial top with alcohol before each puncture and have kept it refrigerated nearly always since reconstituting, you can be amongst the many (me included) who consider 12 weeks the safe cutoff for sterility. Degradation isn't...

The integrated-filter needle is used to draw, then replaced with a regular needle for injecting

That test has closed to new participants

Interesting. But I think our vendors will report very modest values for the goods they're shipping, no matter how much an order costs.

Word on the street is that bac water from Amazon is highly unreliable. Merchants and Amazon's categorization can't distinguish between bac water, sterile water, etc. And very likely some of it is simply tap water. Go with a diabetic supply house, or a US online reseller that caters to this...

Welcome! As @Morbius said, ignore the "not for human" warning ... it's a formality. You can get tirz for a lot less than half of what Planet Peptides charges for their "bulk" offerings, and that's exactly how they're usually sold by the vendors here -- in "kits" of 10 vials, each with the...

I once bought a used book (1970s?) called The Sexy Pineapple Diet because it was a sexy used book. I still gained weight in the long run, though. But probably only because I didn't chew each bite 10,000 times before swallowing.

You were able to comment on a comment from exactly a year ago, minus one day?

6 pounds in 5 weeks is not bad at all! More than a pound a week. Pat yourself on the back, and keep at it. As many have said, your first choice for vendor should be Nexaph. You'll already be saving a ton of money. You probably have NOT done the math correctly, because with grey market...

Your question, because you want to learn, should be: How can I evaluate a CoA like this? What should or shouldn't I do? Answer: first, look at the purity. For the weight-loss peptides, you want anything over 99% purity. Good. Then average the results for actual tested mass. In this case...

All the other "codes" use the first letter of the generic name. Why "L"?

Anyone: But why? My only guess is that it's the surname of the manufacturer. But that seems geared to non-uniqueness. ???

@tahiles Just so you understand how off you are in your plan: a drop of water is understood to be 0.05 mL, which converts to 5 units! 1mL = 100 units. Shoot for a draw (when pinning) that's a numbered tick on your syringe, between 10 and 40 units. Work back from there. The amount of bac...

A kit means 10 vials, so in this case 10 x 15 mg vials = 150 mgs total. And that's it... no bac water, no syringes, no instructions, nothing. But Qingdao Sigma (QSC) is out of business Also, read the first link in my signature to get started

Have you tried a consistently low-carb diet? I've found that in weeks when I have carbs, I stop losing weight or even gain quite a lot (probably water retention)?

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

We need to get more philanthropic fat-cat oligarchs on this website if we're ever going to buy ourselves an HTML drugs analyzer. And not the kind of oligarchs that cause senility in cagri pinners. Thank you.

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?

Interesting! Were they discussing the price of peptides testing, or steroid oils, or??? Please update this thread if you learn of any particular lab that's gotten positive reviews.

Deleted from where?

DMd you

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...

Have you first used the search function at the top, and the table of contents under the top-level Forums tab?

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.

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...
