Welcome! How's it going so far?

Welcome! How's it going so far?

Today was my 3rd shot. So far I've found that I'm not hungry most of the time and that I get full very easily with a lot less than I used to eat. I've also found that I don't care about drinking anymore. I'm the guy who would have a beer and that would turn into 4-6 and sometimes some whiskey etc. Now if I have a beer, I might not finish it.

Henrymeds. But I just put in an order from QSC.

Congrats. QSC usually delivers. Have you got the supplies you need for reconstituting and filtering? Are you comfortable with the math for reconstituting and dosage?

Yeah awaiting an order of bacteriostatic water but all else is here. I also ordered a stainless steel lab tray that I can spray down with hypochlorous acid to disinfect to do all of the reconstituting upon.
Actually now that you mention it I should also get some syringe filters for when I transfer the peptides to the vials.

That's great to utilize a clean environment.

Let me just say after 18 months of peptide use, I've become a little more 'lax' to attempt a sterile environment.

I'll still follow cleanliness and safety in terms of swabbing & sterile needles ECT.. but I just reconstitute on my desk. Even lyophilized vials are no longer stored in the freezer for me.

To each their own though!! Every person has their risk levels!

Best of luck & welcome to your next expensive hobby.

Yeah in my profession I use universal precautions so I'm already used to being overly safe when it comes to cleanliness (basically consider everything you touch is contaminated) so it's no big deal for me to continue doing so with this even though I'm sure it's mostly unnecessary. I know using hypochlorous acid instead of 70% alcohol is probably overkill but eh, it's easy as hell to make, not toxic, and will wipe out any pathogens it touches in moments whereas I see alcohol as inferior to it (I can't use alcohol to clean my tools and workstation as it's not strong enough by health dept. standards)
