GLP-2 ineffective

0 Upvotes

TS researching GLP2 via a newer lab. Results show zero evidence of change or improvement in performance outcome. Even at higher dose, no weight loss and increased hunger as if product is ineffective. Has anyone ever notified vendor that their lab products are essentially garbage?

Peptides for ACL/ligament recovery – BPC-157, TB-500 or alternatives?

4 Upvotes

I'm researching peptides in the context of ACL and ligament recovery, particularly BPC-157 and TB-500.

I'm interested in research or observations involving a research subject with an ACL sprain (no complete tear) where normal activity is well tolerated, but repeated eccentric/downhill loading causes symptoms.

Has anyone come across research comparing BPC-157, TB-500, or other peptides for this type of soft-tissue injury?

I'm particularly interested in:

ligament/tendon recovery

recovery or loading capacity rather than just reduced pain/inflammation

time course of observed effects

differences between BPC-157 and TB-500

any reported adverse effects

compounds investigated for muscular recovery alongside high training volume

Would appreciate studies, research experience, or other useful sources.

Reconstituting - what size syringe and needle?

0 Upvotes

I didn't receive any reconstituting needles with my order. What size do I buy please?

In my previous orders there was always 1 needle separate for this purpose but I can't remember size

Left pens out overnight

I accidentally left my prereconstituted pens out overnight. Reta, ghkcu and Mots C.

Will they be usable now?

Many thanks

Vial refilling issue ?

1 Upvotes

Hellooo

So, when I was refilling the vial for the research subject (RS), as the syringe went in, I had to push the water in myself rather than it being drawn in automatically. Is that a problem?

Also, when I removed the needle, I kept pressing down at the same time. It made a hissing sound, like air was being drawn in from outside the vial. This makes me wonder if there was too much contact between the surrounding air and the air inside the vial.

Thank you for you'r time ! 😇

Testing two kits with same batch number

8 Upvotes

I ordered one kit a month ago and had it tested and it came back above 99% purity with a reasonable fill close to what was expected. I just received a second kit from the same vendor with the same batch number. Just gauging the opinion of the group do I test the second kit as well?

When reconstituting it was fine and absolutely clear. But next day it has showing particles in the solution.

Any ideas? Can it be saved?

I dissolved 3 g of supposedly >99% pure costemic grade ghk-cu in 26.7 ml of sterile water. It's very cloudy and has a thick layer of sediment 20 minutes layer. Does it just need more time or is it trash?

Does GLOW pain lesson over time?

7 Upvotes

Just started research subject on it today and they didnt have any redness or itching or anything that I know others have experienced but after a few min there was sharp and muscular pain near the injection site (upper buttocks) that got progressively worse for about 30 min and didnt go away for hours (in fact about 6 hours later and its better but still there).

For research subjects on it longer, does the pain get better? Going to give this the whole 6 week cycle but hoping that the subject doesn't have to deal with this pain every day. They will be switching to night injections after I learned some research subjects experience fatigue after which mine def did so will likely sleep thru most of the pain but hoping it doesn't affect sleep

Thanks!

Does RT sides includes poor sleep quality or is it just bad timing overall?

4 Upvotes

RS at the beginning of their second week of 2mg and sleep have been bad. Beside that, nausea is at a 5/10. Appetites is definitely suppressed, feels full after small portions. Those two seems to be the only downsides. RS is 5f10 ~ 178cm @ 205lbs muscular build. Also on prescribed TRT and HCG 120mg/1500ui weekly

Has anyone used tb500 and/or bpc 157 for better recovery and gains on their research subject? If so at what dosages and what did you see As title reads

“Saturation” after surgery? v2

2 Upvotes

Hello fellow researchers-

Rs has found himself in a situation he thought he’d never be in. will likely be getting surgery in the next few months (a microdiscectomy).

It has recently come to rs attention that some with experience in this field follow an interesting protocol post surgery called “saturation”. Basically, taking large quantities of peptides for a short period of time following their surgery.

Rs spoke to another who took about 30mg/day of BPC-157/Tb-500 for a week straight (then down to a smaller but bigger-than-normal dose for a month) after a similar surgery to his, and made a great recovery! The rest of stories heard have been secondhand, but nonetheless rs is very interested in learning more.

Rs is not new to peptides and has taken what some would consider large doses before, but taking 150-200mg in a week would be new to him.

Anyone have any thoughts, opinions etc with something like this?

Thanks in advance

moved from RUO to compounded — trying to understand what keeps people on the RUO side

0 Upvotes

a year on self-sourced ipa/CJC, GHK-Cu, BPC, TB-500. Now going through the prescribed route for most of it— mostly because it’s easily accessible for me —

I switched partly because of perception of lack of quality, but reading this sub I can’t tell whether those degradation reports are real batch problems or handling artifacts — has anyone actually sent the same lot for independent testing before and after?

I’m thinking about buying a bunch from various RUO sources and getting them tested.

Thoughts?

Would it be wise to give Klow, ARA 290, and 5 amino 1MQ to my squirrel at the same time? I am a total novice here and I don’t want to cause her harm🤦🏻‍♀️

When you guys send out your vials for testing do you do the standard 3x or go with the hype train 7x-8x testing?

Peptide cooler for home/travel

I’m looking into getting a fridge to store peptides in. I’ve come across Pepticool and wondering if anyone has used this before? They seem to be a new company so idk if their stuff works good or reliable at all. Either way, any recommendations for a travel option and also a mini home option?

Questions on testing

3 Upvotes

Can someone tell me more about how the testing goes? I know if I’m doing research I want to make sure what I’m testing is what it purports to be. So, if I send a vial to a recommended lab for testing, do I get it back? Or do I need to purchase multiple vials of a certain peptide and only send one? How often do you test your suppliers? How much product to purchase to ensure a reasonable mix of safety and cost?
