    PSA: QSC Payment USDT SOL Not Accepted

    Could be a new rep. I'm not sure since this was my first order from QSC. Below is the email chain where the last one I received I was told they do not have SOL for USDT, only ERC and TRC. Being new to this I didn't want to take the chance on just sending to the USDC SOL hash I was given...

    PSA: QSC Payment USDT SOL Not Accepted

    I did specify payment "USDT on Solana" when ordering, and they replied with "USDC on SOLANA" payment info. Being only one letter off I might not have noticed if I was in a hurry, but I'm glad I reviewed carefully before sending. When I replied that I had USDT not USDC, that's when I was advised...

    PSA: QSC Payment USDT SOL Not Accepted

    Just a PSA: While placing a Christmas promo order, I was advised by a QSC rep that they currently only accept USDC on Solana. For USDT, they only support ERC20 and TRC20 networks. This is my first order with them, so I’m not sure if this has always been the case. This may not be news to anyone...

    Tirzepatide and Bariatric Surgery

    Surgery did zilch for my food noise and appetite. Other than physically restricting the amount of food I could eat (literally only a couple of tablespoons in the beginning), the constant screaming in my brain for consuming more food never went away. Just needing to taste it even. It's been over...

    Tirzepatide and Bariatric Surgery

    I had an RNY May 2000. Lost 140 lbs and stayed within the same 10lbs for about 8 years and then slowly started regaining. Eventually got back to, and surpassed starting weight by 30 lbs. I started tirz Dec 2023 and am now just over halfway to my 160 lb goal again. Total lost since starting is 67...

    AmoPure C5 Experience (New to Cagri)

    UPDATE: Holy appetite supression! Since about 24 hours or so after injection, I'm feeling it. No food aversions, no nausea, no fatigue, or anything else. But the feeling is like I know food is there, but I just don't care that it is. I don't know if I've just got a hearty constitution or what...

    AmoPure C5 Experience (New to Cagri)

    Most optimally a pH of 4-5, yes. Mine tested at a 6, which means it will likely degrade a bit faster, but I'm only using for 4 weeks and keeping it in the fridge. I'm not worried about it and I don't want to mess with trying to add any acetate or citrate to make it more acidic for likely not...

    AmoPure C5 Experience (New to Cagri)

    I have not tried Reta, no. I'm good with tirz for now and really not wanting to switch to another GLP-1.

    AmoPure C5 Experience (New to Cagri)

    Just sharing my own experience with this one as it is new for my RS starting today. Current research: 12.5 mg tirz split q 3.5 days. RS at this dose for 10 weeks. Research hx: Tirz started 12/27/23. No other GLP-1 used. RS has used brand, compounded, and AP L60. For all sources: zero side...

    So like, how much of a stockpile do you have of your peptides?

    I'm currently at 12.5mg split weekly and I have: Tirzepatide brand (Zep) 10mg x 6 boxes Tirzepatide 60mg x 2 kits (minus 1 vial currently using) Cagrilintide 5mg x 1 kit (haven't started) ETA: Tirz (all sources) has been working well for me with zero side effects. I started brand 12/27/23...

    I didn't make the chart but the second 3 looks to be a typo and is your missing 5. Deductive reasoning! ETA I found a corrected chart and switched it out on my post.

    Tirz Burning Poll

    Regarding rating pain on 1-10 scale, I agree it's not very helpful unless patients rating their pain have the same understanding of what the numbers mean. Just asking for a number from 1-10 without definitions means everyone correlates the pain they are experiencing to the scale differently. It...

    Amopure labor day L60 full review and usage

    Adding my experience to yours since I also have the L60 (shipped 8/28/24). I pH tested as well. I posted my info in a different thread; links below: ETA: I just injected the 3rd time this morning (I split dose 2x week), and same experience on all three with not feeling anything from the...

    Amopure stinging (here we go again)

    Same for me with the L60 I purchased back on 8/28; felt nothing at all upon injection. I posted my pH results in another thread, along with the pH of my last compounded Red Rock vial. Nothing remarkable there. I've been reading all of the posts about those who have stinging from Amo purchases...

    AmoPure Emerges From AmoPeptide Tirzwreck UPDATED*

    No idea, could do absolutely nothing at all. Since it doesn't hurt anything to do this, and I've done it since starting compounded, it's just become routine for me. Not a very scientific reason, I know. It is something I've read as recommended to do before each does from multidose vaccine vials...

    Couple of newbie questions, please and thank you!

    Great, then the L30 seems the way to go for the 5mg and if you go up to 7.5mg.

    Couple of newbie questions, please and thank you!

    Some additional info would be helpful for us to help you better. What dose are you currently taking and for how long? Are you on the brand name pens or compounded or something else? Do you plan to increase dose soon or are you maintatining current dose?

    Couple of newbie questions, please and thank you!

    You will be purchasing a kit, which is 10 vials. The number is the amount, in mg, that is in each vial in the kit. So from the AmoPure site, the L30 would be tirzepatide 30mg x 10 vials. Be aware of what dosage you need, as the 30mg may be too much for someone starting at 2.5mg. Everyone has a...

    AmoPure Emerges From AmoPeptide Tirzwreck UPDATED*

    Update After Injection L60 I injected about 30 min ago from the L60 kit I purchased on 8/28/24 and felt absolutely nothing; same as every injection I've ever had from Red Rock vials. I did recon the vial on Saturday, so it sat for about two days in the fridge. I followed the same exact...

    AmoPure Emerges From AmoPeptide Tirzwreck UPDATED*

    Not sure if anyone still cares to see pH results of Amopure, but I just filled my first vial of L60 today that was shipped on 8/28/24 from China. Intact puck, completely dissolved to a clear liquid. New Hospira was used, exp. Nov 2025. I was still finishing my last compounded vial from Red...

    Where do you guys inject?

    I have always injected in my abdomen. I've recently started using the alcohol swab on a bit larger area and gently touch the tip of the needle to the skin first. If I don't feel it, then I inject there. If I feel it, I move it slightly and try again. When I do this I never feel anything when...

    Stacking Tirz w/ CagriSema

    Not sure I'm tracking your timeline correctly based on your post, so please correct me if this is wrong, but it looks like you've been taking tirz for 5 weeks and your starting weight was 312 and are now 292? If that's correct, then that's a 20 lb loss in 5 weeks with an average of 4 lb per...

    To Stack or Not to Stack? That is the question... Tirz + Reta?

    Not sure if you want to try it, but I starting splitting my weekly tirz when I was at 10mg (now at 12.5mg for last two weeks), and that helped me with having more consistent appetite suppression and food noise for the entire week. I would take half my weekly dose every 3.5 days. Taking the...

    Weight Loss Peptide Comparison Table

    It is definitely dose-dependent. In the Phase 2 trial results, participants in the higher-dose groups of 6mg and 12mg consistently reported feeling less hungry and more satisfied after meals. They also noted reduced food cravings, particularly for high-calorie foods, which directly correlated...

    Weight Loss Peptide Comparison Table

    I scored based primarily on the known pharmacological effects/mechanism of each, and secondarily based on the published combined weight loss results and glycemic control (HbA1c reduction and managing blood glucose). Not based on trial participant self-reported outcomes.

    Good compounding resource

    I might try that, but I'm not sure I'd be able to keep it steady enough to inject into the vial. Or not have the needle bend. Impressed!

    Good compounding resource

    Same for me with the stockpiles. I also started on brand first back in 12/2023, went to Orderly 4/2024, and now have in my freezer the T60 vials. I have 6 boxes of 10mg brand in my fridge. I kept refilling using the savings card (zero insurance coverage) until my FSA funds ran out, which was...

    Syringe Filter Recommendations

    The filter isn't used when drawing out the reconstituted liquid from the vial. It's added to the end of the luer lock syringe and then a new sterile needle added onto the filter just before injecting into a new sterile vial. The liquid passes through the filter at that point on it's way into the...

    Retatrutide Purchase from AmoPeptide

    Hopefully it's just them getting slammed with more orders recently with the Labor Day sale that is causing the delay. I ordered L60 x2 on 8/27, got the tracking number "label created" on 8/28, also coming from CN. Then no updates on the tracking until 9/1 with location Los Angeles. Then I...
