Tirzepatide shortage is over

I would thoroughly vet your group buy coordinator before you decide to do that.

The large influx of new members due to recent compounded Tirzepatide rug pull is an excellent opportunity for scammers to take advantage of the inexperienced.

Oh, I meant join just to be nosy. I can't ever see myself participating in a group buy, especially not with someone who PMs random Reddit users. They can't have much to lose if things go off the rails.

I can afford to purchase and test on my own. The added layer of risk isn't worth the money I would save.

I think I have a screw loose because I was asking questions on Reddit and someone sent me a PM offering to add me to a discord where they were doing group buys and I said no, lol 🤣

I'm thinking about reaching out to say I changed my mind just because I'm curious about what's going on over there.
Be careful, could be a scam
 
Oh don't get me started on food waste. I'm not sure how it happens. My wife loves to cook.

Last incident was the homemade hummus. I accidently tasted it... there was a layer of something uniformly growing on it nearly the same color as hummus. I didn't think it looked quite right but it's homemade so I thought maybe it's a little lighter than the store bought. Nope.

Or the milk that leaked on the shelf. I mean I sopped it up.. the bulk of it. It's probably fine. Pretend it didn't happen.
GASP!!
BLASPHEMY!! 🤣😂🤢🤮


I can't even begin to express how pleased I am with the last 3-4 pages of responses. Maybe I like you newbs after all! Lol

Yes, I like helping people - people who put forth the effort to help themselves. 30 years in the hospitality industry should be all I need to say.

Thick skin, as I've learned, is a Gen X thing. Don't take yourself so seriously! Too many snowflakes these days. We used to beat the shit out of each other on Friday night, then hang out like best friends the next day. "Fuck you motherfucker" was a term of endearment.

Truck drivers got nothin on chefs when it comes to rudeness, insults, and cussing. Do please consider the source and trade your tiny balls for a real pair when you come through the door...

I got my point across though!

The only issue now is I just don't have the time to respond to everyone. So I'll pick what stood out the most.

If you knew what I recently learned about how peptides are finished, you'd probably be filtering.

Until I see extensive video from multiple places showing sterilization and production in clean rooms, I'll be filtering.

As I mentioned a couple other places, I have a RS that is 77yo, has COPD and an autoimmune disease... This is what prompted me to look into filtering. If you are a 30yo farm boy from Iowa who has had rabies twice, your mom stitched up your leg and smeared mud on it when you sliced it open on rusty barbed wire, and you eat your lunch with the goats, you probably don't have to worry about a little SubQ bacteria.
Or.. (I'll add)
If you consume salmonella, staphylococcus, and trichinosis on a regular basis just from pouring a glass of milk or eating a snack, you're probably good. Lol

And yes, I'm long winded, get used to it, this grumpy old bear isn't going anywhere.

No remorse, no repent! Kill 'Em All 🤘

I have eaten a lot of raw cookie dough in my 35 years on earth and never gotten sick so I think I will be okay. That’s what I’m telling myself anyway. 😅
 
You would be surprised how damn dirty the skin can be. I have drawn blood and started IV’s on clean looking put together peeps and that darn alcohol wipe goes from white to brown all the time.

Maybe it's self tanning lotion? Isopropyl is a good cleaner, but it's probably the weakest disinfectant we have available to us.

I like isopropyl for getting pitch off my car's paint. Great stuff!
 
I feel like getting the answer to this might be like seeing your favorite restaurant on the evening news with cameras showing all the roaches crawling around on the floor 😅

Seriously 😂 but now I need to know because my imagination might just be worse.
 
Compounding pharmacies can only violate patents when there is a shortage. They will soon be forced to stop selling glp1's, so of course they are trying to unload their stock and make $ while they still can.
I don’t think the compounding pharmacies, telemedicine, and medspas are stopping. I got an email today from a telehealth provider “ Orderly Meds” that they are still shipping Tirz.
I never purchased from them but I looked into them months ago.

Well they def have to stop, if there isn't a shortage they have to stop compounding due to FDA regulations, like Broken Chef said they're just off loading their stock, but also they have 60 days from they time FDA announced the shortage was over to stop compounding so, they have time to get it together! Ive all Seen an ad on IG for G3 and Luxe, from what I gather g3 is Reta and that's what they are trying to offer now, im not sure what luxe was though... The lady in the ad was like oh this is better then Ozempic and Mounjaro it hits 3 hormones, blah blah blah..... lmaoooo. Frankly it seems like they are panicking and trying to figure out anything they can to supply the massive demand they have incurred! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

I saw "Big Easy" was moving along like nothing changed.

Maybe they'll wait until they get a mean letter then finally concede.... after they gobble up all the displaced tirz patients.

Never heard of Big Easy until today.

New patients be like...

This is disappointing and unsurprising. I know a giant influx of clueless people looking for research materials is probably less than ideal but I do hope they can at least get GOOD information from here that will help them in the long run. I don't want to see people left out to dry thanks to the FDA's decision. If you are new and reading this PLEASE do a lot of research before ordering anything and injecting it into your research subject.
Hello. I smiled when I read this post ! I am one of the new members you are referring to. I have been doing a lot of research the past week and have narrowed it down to Skye but am still concerned that I haven’t covered all my bases. Saw my peptide (Cagri) test report was done by Jano (I believe does a quality test from my research?). I would love any insight from those of you who are much better informed than I am if I am on the right track? Also, do I still need to quality test myself after I receive my peptide since I already have this Jano report? (I read that testing your source is important to establish credibility in the initial stage). Lastly, should I be filtering the peptide before using it on my RS? Thank you for any advice you all can provide me, it is greatly appreciated. This process has been very difficult to navigate.
 
Never Heard of these people Either! lmaoo but hey if they say sooooo! 😂😂
They’ve tried to rally support for their business on Reddit a few times and just been absolutely roasted by the community for whatever reason. The owner seems like an ok guy, maybe slightly overpriced but they really put him through the ringer the first few times he posted haha. It was entertaining.

Testing is destructive. So you're not going to get your product and the report returned to you.

Filtering. I've never done it. So long as you use the right filters, it probably can't hurt right? Unless you contaminate the product yourself with the gyrations required to filter and then inject.

Skye tests their "batches". Testing only shows you the strength of the product. It's not going to show you impurities.

You want some advice? You're considering injecting yourself with counterfeit research medications obtained from shady overseas sources online.

Let that sink in.

Once you get over that fact, the rest of it is pretty easty.

I can't and will not directly say who to buy from but I can say I have seen people who have used Skye here so I would just keep reading to see if people are happy with them or not. As to testing, that is all on you and your comfort level when it comes to risk. I would look for reports that come from test that were paid for by the end users and not the seller. Not saying they are or are not legit but it's always better to have tests done by, well, not the seller 😅

IMO filtering is a relatively cheap way to help ensure sterility and safety but this is once again a personal choice. I wasn't doing it until recently but I figured for like 50 dollars I can get all the stuff to filter for years and add just that little bit of extra comfort that I am doing the best I can.

My provider just raised their rates. I'm not renewing after my contract ends. It's a serious cash grab.

I can get nearly a years worth of Tirz overseas, no GB, for the price of one month on my tele-med provider.

Jano tests is the golden standard in this space, imo.

As for your other questions, one important thing to note - Is that there are no guarantees and you will never get a definite answer.

Even if there is a test, it's hard to prove that you are being sent a product from the same batch. There are a few things that can be done with vial customization, but that's rare for now. Other than that, it's trust - So a vendor that is stable over time without any big issues would usually be safer but again not a guarantee.

Also keep in mind that a purity test has "nothing" to do with safety. It proves that the content of the vial matches the label.

Nothing wrong with filtering, if it's necessary though, that's up to you and your risk assessment, no one can tell you what you should and shouldn't do in order to stay safe: No guarantees, only higher or lower levels of comfort and confidence.

That said, there is not a high chance that you will get a product that is directly harmful. The more likely risk you run, is bunk/underdosed/slightly contaminated and other minor/"minor" issues.

So yeah, the confusion comes from the fact that no one can give you a definite answer or a definitely safe source (well, some could - but there are reasons why they usually can't just share it) - And even then, how are you supposed to know who can give you that answer and also don't have ulterior motives. The solution is to research until you feel comfortable

Oh by overpriced I meant for the telehealth/compounding market. Personally I skipped compounding altogether, went straight from sharing a friend’s name brand prescription until I caught up to her dosage and she couldn’t slip me extras anymore to overseas/gray market haha. (She has that insurance that makes you fill 3 months at a time even if you only stay on a dose for 1 month so she had a massive stockpile, like literally couldn’t have used it all herself before it expired so she just gave it to me 🙂).
 
I do not disagree with you or @Broken Chef, but it would probably be very helpful for a lot of new members if some of the old timers got together and made a “map”/guide for the new people and asked zip to sticky the post.

Everyone can’t be expected to have the time to do all that research.

Personally, I don’t really understand the motivation behind the gate keeping though (NOT trying to start something, it’s honest curiosity).

We won’t share our sources and forwarders since it’s our business, even though we don’t really compete with the Chinese market anyway.

But I don’t see why you need to have hidden buyer groups. Most vendors would be happy to do business with any buyer as long as they pay their price and meet their MOQ?
If it's important to them, they'll find the time to do the research - people have been happy to help me because, I think, I demonstrated to them that I do the research myself. And the research really never ends. I read threads, all the posts, here and elsewhere, I took notes, I went deep, and am still down so many rabbit holes, and I figured things out, and when I couldn't, I knew the questions to ask, and people answered. It's that - learning enough and then more to understand you now need to ask questions of people who are more experienced. This is serious stuff and I don't see it as gatekeeping but as reinforcing the truth that this isn't like going to the Dr for a prescription. Just when the end of shortage news went out, I got tons of emails on another server from strangers to me asking for everything, the basics, the how to, where, etc. I'm no expert, but I have put in a lot of hours learning - have spent most of this week reading and note taking on orientation guides, taking knowledge tests to gain entry into those serious and super secure places... I spent all day yesterday and today learning crypto and discovered it will be hard for me going that route because my state is so heavily regulated regarding crypto, and only after hours and hours of learning and figuring things out did I reach out to ask for help. My body, my research, we are here to help, certainly all the eminences are, but everyone, brand new folks here thrown out of name brand because of price or compound now, have to take personal responsibility for this path they are starting to walk.
 
This is my goal. I am starting with a person I know and trust. I get the “f&f” discount for 2months. Hopefully I will gain knowledge to do it myself. 😁 I feel pretty good since I already found dionysos and the lists. I also like that one storefront I researched is on their list. I am heading in the right direction. I think 😂😂. Now to learn how to reconstitute.
Download all the calculators! Reconstituting is fun! I'm looking forward to my first filtering!
 
Oh don't get me started on food waste. I'm not sure how it happens. My wife loves to cook.

Last incident was the homemade hummus. I accidently tasted it... there was a layer of something uniformly growing on it nearly the same color as hummus. I didn't think it looked quite right but it's homemade so I thought maybe it's a little lighter than the store bought. Nope.

Or the milk that leaked on the shelf. I mean I sopped it up.. the bulk of it. It's probably fine. Pretend it didn't happen.
😳😂😳😂

Shortage will be back quickly, I'd say!
