You twisted my words into your own opinion.So you’re saying basically every product is the same? - wrong.
And 200-400$ in tests only tells you the purity of the product, not if it is as it’s aupposed to be. You need a battery of tests costing in the range 2000-5000$ to truly know what you actually have in your hands (not that you need to do all those tests).
But to hint towards grey/black market being the same as compound, is at best a lack of knowledge.
Missleading people i to believing they are as safe with CN vendors as they are with compound, is simply not cool. I’m not saying there is a huge risk with CN vendors - but it is not equal to compound
I wouldn't say EVERYTHING out there is the same or from the same place. I just know where most vendors are getting their supply from. And know at the end of that road is a company in China many pharma companies use. I also get medications from a company in India who is also a manufacturer for pharma companies. Legitimate brand name medications you can verify. When I say pharma companies, I'm talking about name brand pharma companies. Though compounding pharma's also use them. I've been around this stuff for nearly 2 decades and eventually you learn where things are coming from, learn who is carrying the quality products, see how the industry changes. All these GLP-1 peptide vendors people are finding are all fairly new. Vendors that popped up in the last year or so. My list of vendors have been around for over a decade and are properly vetted. Some have better prices than these new vendors, some don't. I've looked into many of the new vendors and found that many get their products from a reputable pharma company without knowing it. If the quality and weight % are there and consistent, there is a good chance it's coming from the manufacturer I'm talking about.
I haven't seen so many poor vendors until coming to these GLP-1 forums. Of course they will show up in these new focused forums. At the same time, I've seen a couple good vendors here. There aren't many manufacturers creating high quality products. But many who are reselling their products. Peptides have been around for decades in this industry. The risk is in these vendors who have popped up in the past couple years. Some lucked out and found the quality products, some haven't. These GLP-1 forums have potential. But need to weed out poor vendors. I also have a feeling some vendors here are purposely bashing quality vendors in one way or another. Right now, these forums are similar to how other health and fitness forums were 15+ years ago when it comes to vendors. The forums are still small and is hard to moderate the manipulators. Especially when most of the members are also new to this world. Eventually things will work out and there will finally be a good list of properly vetted vendors. A consistent 99.7+% and weight +10%-20%, I have a pretty good idea where it came from. And purity tests are sufficient in most cases, gives you a good idea how much of the active ingredient is present. You get the values of everything that isn't the amino acid sequence of the active ingredient and subtract by 100 to get the purity of the active ingredient (if it's present). The only unknown are the impurities. Which doesn't matter much under 1%.
"Missleading people i to believing they are as safe with CN vendors as they are with compound, is simply not cool. I’m not saying there is a huge risk with CN vendors - but it is not equal to compound"
A compound is a compound no matter where it was compounded. To say a compound from china can't be equal or better than a compound from a compounding pharmacy in another country is ignorant and they are out there. Only a few compounding pharmacies in the US are licensed to operate under Section 503A. Which will give you the best quality. The rest aren't, can only produce in times of shortage, and still carry risks.
