This. Everyone’s risk tolerance is different. I think with all you’ve seen you are smart for taking that extra precaution.
Precisely why I will always comment on new users and let them know that filtering is a good idea. It’s called harm reduction. Isn’t it good to share that knowledge? I truly don’t get your gripe here…
It's just up to the individual's discretion. Everyone has a choice. No matter what anybody says, "Do this or don't do that", the individual has the choice to do or don't. They choose what's good for them, and nobody will change their mind. People have to make themselves content, and what they choose to do is up to them, and I respect that.
When you filter it removes any stray bacteria or contaminants that might be in the vial. Some filter, some don’t, but if you have an impaired immune system it’s a good idea. There are also filter needles to use if drawing something up from a glass ampule (my glutathione comes with ampules of vitamin C that I use to recon them with), and the filter needles prevent tiny shards of glass from going into your peps. If you are interested in getting filtering supplies, many people sell the kits. There is a vendor called Underground that sells filtering kits and another vendor called All things Peptide, to name 2. Underground also sells hospital bac water for less than you’d pay many places. I’m sure there are other vendors, but I use Underground and I found the other one I names when I started looking into pens for my peps.
This nurse filters.
I had no idea! I was wondering how you could filter something so fine! Everydays a school day 👌 thanks for explaining you never learn if people don't share what they know
Yes but the problem is in order to function on this forum you need to earn likes otherwise you cannot post anywhere so by engaging with people you get to chat learn and get the likes so you can become a proper member of the forum.. if I did as you suggested I wouldn't be able to post
Are you the grumpy forum arsehole? There's always one I guess
I didn’t realize the search function does not function without likes. Apologies if that’s the case. Good luck!
Thank you kind sir! 👌
Oh boo, my feelings are hurt.
Oh yay. Most of my nurse customers do not.
When you bought your KS tek filter, we're they the luer lock ones?
Exactly. The only reason I was even able to TRY wegovy from the pharmacy was due to me having a health savings account just sitting around doing nothing. Even then there was only enough money there for 6 months @ $500 a month. Then what was I going to do? I was always going to end up on the grey market .. so I took the plunge 4 months earlier. Who knows what I might need the $2000 still in the HSA for in the future.
My understanding is the benzyl alcohol does not really kill things already in the vial, it just prevents new things from growing.
Ks-tek is the brand and they're luer lock. I originally bought them from AliExpress but Ks-tek has them available on their website:
I'm usually not the "you should google that" guy, but I'm trying to get ready for a trip and don't have as much time as I'd like to explain it with as much detail as I normally try to; but anyway google the difference between bacteriostatic and bactericidal and hopefully that will help clear things up a little for you.
Lol
Perfect those are the ones I bought. They're coming in this week. Cannot wait to use them.
LOL. As a technician I'm constantly googling and I am always wondering why people don't google the simple things. Sometimes I ask because maybe other people would also like to know.
