This past Sunday marked a special milestone: our community's second birthday! I am continually amazed and gratified to see how much we've grown. We are now a community of over 12,000 members, and it's humbling to know how many people we've helped on their journey to better health with GLP-1...

We have had the great fortune recently of many new members joining us from all around the world! It's a true testament to the miracle of GLP-1's and the benefits they can contribute to all of our lives, regardless of where we may be from! I'm always grateful to see how warmly new members our...

"Most of the gray market buyers Reuters interviewed had told their medical providers they were taking GLP-1 medicines but not where or how they bought them." https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/stung-by-high-prices-americans-make-their-own-weight-loss-drugs-2025-06-27/

It's been a looooooong road traveled since starting on Mounjaro way back on April Fool's day 2023, and mentally seems even longer for the last few pounds to break under 200lbs. (For my metric friends that's just shy of 50kg down; don't ask me what it is in stone.) For my fellow math nerds...

That if your user title shows 'GLP-1 Enthusiast' or 'Specialist' that you can post in The Research Lab section of the forum? I'm going to guess not. You can even engage with vendors by replying to their threads in the Vendor Connection section. Pretty soon this is going to become the only...

Not particularly GLP-1 related, but I know many people supplement their GLP's with Metformin which has become quite popular as a "longevity" supplement. There's already a lot of talk about the potential antiaging benefits from GLP-1's also, so it will be interesting to see if/how these various...

A member messaged me to ask about someone posting on Reddit that they "found" a place selling Canadian Hospira BAC water (which is identical to the US product other than having a different label and not being marked Rx Only). While Canadian BAC water is a real thing, the website being shared is...

First I want to thank everyone who has been part of the amazing growth of our community here! When I left for my little work-related hiatus late last year, we had around 2700 members. As of today we have over 7300! 😯 Beyond more than doubling our membership in 7 months, what's even more...

There are a few changes taking place that everyone needs to be aware of, both in the short term while I square away some issues behind the scenes with the forum software and server, and others that will be longer-term or permanent changes. User "promotions" (the progression ladder that...

Welcome to our vibrant community dedicated to discussing all things GLP-1! As a new member, here are some important points to help guide your first posts and make your way around here without running afoul of our few but important rules: New members must make a post introducing yourself. Use...

I'm curious to see what everyone thinks about the updated look around here. Now that I've had a little time to spend behind the scenes applying some updates and fixing some minor bugs and issues I wanted to do a little refresh including paying a designer to come up with a better logo than the...

Put some damn socks on your feet! It's wonderful and encouraging to see people achieving their weight loss goals, even small victories are still a victory! But damn, if you're going to post a scale picture that includes your feet, do the world a favor and put some damn socks on first! Most feet...

I think you all know that I'm not much for rules, but the recent influx of people asking for and/or sharing links to vendor Discords, Telegrams, etc. is annoying me, and me not being annoyed is more important than pretty much anything else. So, unless and until I say otherwise, requesting or...

The following rules apply to all vendors: 1. Vendors are limited to ONE MAIN THREAD for all routine discussion and to share product information, price lists, ordering info, test results, etc. This has proven to be the best way to consolidate and simplify member access to information for each...

So the nut job that runs AR just tried peddling a "new" peptide he claims to have invented. No papers published, no peer reviews, no rodent testing, no FDA filings, just "hey I invented this new GLP-1/GIP peptide and you should shoot yourself up with it!". This kind of dangerous behavior is...

It is important for all members and visitors to remember that any vendor represented or mentioned anywhere on this platform is not endorsed by GLP-1 Forum. Vendors recognized here with the 'Vendor' tag are done so entirely based on the vendor's own representations per forum rules, but are not...

It will be interesting to see if/how the compounding pharmacy industry responds to this development. The legal area they've been operating in seems to have just become even more cloudy than it already was...

I had an interesting chat with a supplier rep at silly o'clock this morning (mid-afternoon in Shanghai) regarding new "guidance" they've received on what products they should and should not produce and sell and that we should expect suppliers to begin modifying their price lists to reflect what...

These are some test results of HT products released by PTDS today (shared with permission). Consider your choice of suppliers carefully. Just because the reps are nice and seem helpful and will accept PayPal or Alipay doesn't mean their products are a good deal.

There is an individual who started a new website as a US domestic vendor that I strongly recommend avoiding at all costs! I won't name or link the site, but he is claiming that he purchased the "rest of the XCE US warehouse stock" and that's what he's offering for sale. It has been confirmed...

As some of you may know, there are several "group buy" Discord servers and Facebook groups popping up recently offering some really attractive bulk pricing over a limited time/supply. First and foremost, please understand that most of these groups are for-profit and are really just vendors...

When posting, please pay attention to include more complete supplier names. For instance, "Henan" and "Hebei" are provinces in China, not company names. Most Chinese companies preface their company name with the name of the province or city in which they're based. So when you just say "Henan"...

They can't follow the simple rules on this forum even though we allow and encourage any Chinese suppliers to post. I recommend avoiding them. They remind me a lot of Senwayer and Tri-Trust, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's who they really are just hiding behind a new name. There are a lot...

First, I want to thank everyone who tried reaching out to check in on me over the past 3 months! I appreciate everyone's care and concern and am genuinely touched. There really are some amazing people in this community (and a couple of pretty resourceful ones too!). Here’s my rather lengthy...

I noticed somewhere around June or July that I occasionally felt chills with my A/C set to anything below 75, so that's where I started setting the temp and was comfortable most of the rest of the summer. Now that we're getting cold, holy crap I can't turn up the heat enough the past few days...

Janoshik reports that two supposed Retatrutide samples they were sent for testing turned out to be AOD. For professional reasons they can't identify the supplier or who sent in the sample, but obviously this is something to watch out for with this new peptide! Don't trust, and always verify!

Any time I've been working to lose weight, I've always included a cheat day where I get either a couple of hamburgers and a small fry from McD's or a French dip from Arby's. Either is pretty much about 100% of my carbs most weeks. Well let me tell you, I've been having GI issues for the past 3...

Just posted on bookface:

I bet this is the exact kind of Karen that complains to her Chinese dealer that their 10mg med was 9.98mg...

I'm curious to see what the most common GLP-1 is for our members.

I keep seeing people on Reddit and elsewhere who are confused about how to calculate their desired dosage, or worse "accidently" overdose themselves. Then they get all pissy and defensive when I suggest that maybe this isn't the best path for them. I realize that math isn't everyone's strong...

The Vendor Connection section is for paid forum sponsors to advertise, post product, prices and ordering information, share test results, and to facilitate communication with members. ALL vendors are welcome and offered an equal opportunity for success, there is no censorship or favoritism...

The Xenforo software doesn't have conventional standalone apps that you will find the the Apple or Google app stores, but it does have a browser-based "progressive web app" that creates a special smart shortcut to the mobile version of our site on your home screen along with the ability to...

Please review the following guidelines regarding posting images or files of test results/COA's, and only post if: 1. A vendor has voluntarily provided you the test and consented to you sharing the it publicly (or they've already posted it publicly elsewhere), or 2. You have permission to post...

I'd love to find someone who could come up with a stylized name graphic and maybe some better banner art to spruce things up a bit for not a lot of money. If anyone is a designer or knows someone that might be able to help come up with something for a not terribly expensive price, please let me...

I'm curious how many people have experienced positive side-effects on tirzepatide? Since starting I have pretty much given up alcohol, I feel like I'm almost ready to quit smoking, my tinnitus seems to have improved slightly, and I definitely feel like it's improved my ADHD. Obviously the...

Here are some recent price lists for various Chinese vendors I have accumulated. Feel free to post any you have that are different or newer. (Please do not interpret the inclusion of any vendor's price list here as an endorsement or recommendation! These are provided for informational and price...

Apparently there's someone out there contacting people via Reddit saying that QSC's emails have been compromised and that orders and messages should be sent to a new Protonmail address. Tracy has verified this is a scam, so please everyone watch out!

If you have a suggestion on how this forum can be the best destination for all things GLP1, please post a thread here, or feel free to DM me also. I tried to come up with a sensible set of sections and sub-forums to get started, but I'm open to hearing ideas on how to improve things. I'm also...
