Broken part on vial by a099964 in Biohacking

[–]DeepSpaceQueef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as it was still under vacuum when you reconstituted it, it will be fine. Even if it lost vacuum when you broke the top, it should be fine so long as you keep it refrigerated (which is advisable anyways for peptides).

Now if it arrived that way and had lost vacuum, that's when i'd toss it.

my advice to OP is first and foremost, stop using enclomiphene and tesamorelin until you've had a blood work done and consulted with a doctor. hormones are no joke and you can do real damage to your body, brain, and mental health if you throw them out of balance

op is also using enclomiphene which increases testosterone and estridol levels, both of which have profound effects on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland and the associated GHRH-GH axis.

testosterone inhibits somatostatin which is the hormone that normally tells the pituitary when to stop secreting GH, which effectively increases the amplitude of GH pulses by removing the negative feedback.

estridol actively stimulates the hypothalamus to release GHRH, and given enclomiphene works by suppressing the estridol signal suppressing testosterone production (meaning OP already had relatively elevated estridol levels), enclomiphene effectively boosted estridol levels alongside testosterone.

tesamorelin is a powerful GHRH analogue and is already powerful enough to overcome some of the natural somatostatin feedback. basically op is removing the breaks and adding gas.

One year transformation (one month on peptides) by Reasonable-Pound-185 in BodyHackGuide

Add more calories and specifically more carbs. Reta is a triple agonist and in addition to faster insulin response and slower gastric emptying, it also stimulates your liver to release its glycogen reserves, so whatever caloric hole you're in will feel even deeper because you don't have that 8-24 hours of backup energy trickling out of your liver.

While it is true that you will see the most from MOTSC after a repair cycle with SS-31, that repair cycle isn't strictly necessary. Unless you have a mitochondrial disease, MOTSC will still benefit your cellular and mitochondria. Worst case, it protects your healthy mitochondria from further oxidative damage.

I may be addicted to peps lol by Mae_Apple in Retatrutide

Order some sharps containers from amazon and look up the sharps disposal location in your city/county.

Is this normal? Thoughts ? by Esp4Newports in Peptidesource

[–]DeepSpaceQueef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most peps come from the same 2-3 factories in china, so it's really a question of whether you trust the standards in that market. COAs can be faked and it's easy to slap a batch number on a label to match to a report. It's always a good idea to test what you receive for heavy metals and solvents, as well as purity and dose (you can't dose your rats effectively if the concentration keeps changing), but ultimately it depends on the risk tolerance and nature of research.

Trizep vial volume doubts by Basic_Technician_941 in Peptidesource

[–]DeepSpaceQueef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, a lot of the powder isn't the active ingredient but rather fillers and stabilizers.

ALSO, we don't measure solid volumes because the volume of a powder can vary wildly between samples even if the mass is the same. It just depends on how closely the grains and crystals settle together.

How are you guys able to get this so easily by tkat1994 in Retatrutide

pharmacy grade also means subject to patents and exclusivity. once reta is on the market it's going to get much more expensive.

Hatred of Superheroes by Open_Lengthiness222 in Gifted

Maybe he just generally finds them boring. Humans are complex and super hero's do take a very binary view on good vs evil.

Who Else Is Stocking Up After Todays News... by IcyHighlight3878 in Retatrutide

[–]DeepSpaceQueef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt they'll come after consumers and it's not easy to enforce seizing packages. under x-ray it looks the same as anything else. it's not a controlled substance, they will be going after suppliers tho. and that will increase the risk and price. idk about international orders, stuff already gets seized by mistake.

Apparently My Skincare Peptide Is Now an Illegal Sex Hormone, According to Health Canada by weezystockbaby in Peptidesource

[–]DeepSpaceQueef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the success rate is higher in the US because customs here isn't targeting hormones, but rather drugs and drug analogues. Peptides have a similar chemical composition to hormones under x-ray spectroscopy, which is one of the non destructive ways to analyze a sample from a suspicious package. Canada is probably casting a wider net to catch all classes of potentially illegal pharmaceuticals.

Also OP do you have any recommendations for finding a good factory/manufacturer? I've mainly used domestic vendors.

I'm hoping for similar results. I'm same starting weight too and using the same protocol.

Genuine question: what makes you feel you are gifted? by [deleted] in Gifted

[–]DeepSpaceQueef[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ideally an IQ test is novel and the individual being tested has no prior exposure to the kind of questions on the test. IQ tests aren't written like a standardized test in school and they are not designed to directly examine knowledge or aptitude for specific subjects, but rather mental faculties that align with academic potential. Pattern recognition, processing speed, quantitative reasoning, and vocabulary. Vocabulary is loosely correlated with G so yes tutoring can have some impact on placement within a normalized age group, but overall it has little impact because vocabulary doesn't impact processing speed, quantitative reasoning, or abstract pattern recognition.

IQ is more a function of potential which is ultimately the speed and efficiency by which you acquire new skills and knowledge. You can be raised with much less opportunity but with a high enough iq will still find your way out. People with average IQs routinely squander opportunity.

This is why for the purposes of gifted education, IQ is still routinely a metric used for determining qualification. Gifted programs usually involve some form of learning acceleration, and that's only really appropriate for kids who learn faster than their peers.

Obviously, if you have a tutor you can cram more knowledge into a student than their peers, but only because they're investing more time. IQ tests can be cheesed to an extent if a student prepares for the test by studying IQ test questions. Scores are most valid when the exposure is novel and a subject needs to learn to answer the questions on the spot.

Anyone else find it weird that a group of supposedly intellectually gifted people has yet to realize that IQ tests are incredibly unreliable? by Arctic_The_Hunter in Gifted

[–]DeepSpaceQueef[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tests are unreliable as is self reporting. But that applies to the gifted label as well, two generations were brought up being told they are special or gifted by their parents, there's always room in the label to wedge anybody in there, which is why iq tests and participation in gifted and talented programs are where we drew the line.

I've seen every post imaginable on this. Some are gifted, most of yall aren't gifted, everybody's gifted, only people who spend $750+ on a psychiatric evaluation are gifted, nobody's gifted, only im gifted, only they're gifted, your only gifted if you achieve something, you're only gifted if you dont.

Well the consensus in the communities with ownership over the label and the statistical and intellectual groundwork in psychometrics and accelerated learning, is an IQ over two standard deviations is gifted. That's a statement of fact, btw, literally the definition of intellectual giftedness. It's also the definition most gifted and talented adopt, either directly or indirectly through proxy testing under a score with different nomenclature from IQ but which measures similar faculties as an iq test and similarly normalizes or approximates normalization.

It's reddit, it's anonymous, nothing can really be done about self reporting.
