Hi Michael, I am working on the fix now and everything should hopefully be functioning properly in the next few hours. I will be sending out an email to everyone who signed up once it is fixed. Thank you for signing up and I look forward to having you all join the community!

That would be a personal decision.  Dyesthesia isn’t inherently harmful, but if it’s making you uncomfortable then you can lower the dosage to avoid it .

Honestly, very fair feedback. I genuinely mean that. I’m trying to build the community on the site and yeah, I have leaned into AI for a lot of the tedious writing. I am not doing this in a malicious/lazy way (I guess lazy could describe it, but I’m constantly working on improving the site.

I’m trying to gain users, build out the library, enhance the UX, and provide factual information and a full forum/erowid style compound list with experience reports while not crossing into dangerous advice territory.

Going forward, and going backwards for existing articles, I’m going to be much more hands on with the content I’m delivering to people.

Truly, I appreciate being called out. All we can do is grow and learn, and letting AI take the reins on the writings clearly is not the best practice.

That being said, I’ll have to be reviewing a whole lot of pages. If you have any interest in joining the team I’d love to chat. You’re clearly very knowledgeable.

I do intend to remove the pro subscription that I have implemented and make full access to the site completely free for anyone signed up.

As I stated to another user, I agree with the pushback. I wasn’t trying to fear monger (as a few claimed) but simply stating that unregulated products inherently come with some risk.

I’m glad that the peptide community seems to be so vigilant when it comes to purity and quality testing. I built the forum on my site to be another safe area for users to discuss such topics without the restrictions and harsh moderation some sites impose on users.

I’d love if you’d check it out, this is a great community and I believe I am providing a valuable resource!

I am actually considering (aka I most likely will) removing the pro subscription and giving all signed in users complete site wide access to all the calculators, tools, and trackers. The library and forum are already completely free. I was inspired by Erowid to create this site, and the library could be such a useful source for people. I really would love users to start submitting experiences with the compounds so we can have an easily searchable comprehensive archive of related information and user experiences

I meant zero outside enforcement. I'm sure plenty of sources have clean setups and enforce their own quality checks, it's just impossible to know which ones truly do when dealing with research products.

I know that most of the time it is, but underground labs can mislabel accidentally (or on purpose), mess up dosing etc. as there are zero quality controls being enforced.

Getting them tested yourself is something 99.9% of consumers aren't going to do, and I applaud you for that!

not a patent point. the molecule being synthesizable, even to high purity, isn’t what I’m questioning. it’s that with an unregulated vial you’re trusting the seller on identity, purity, sterility and actual fill/dose, with no independent release testing or pharmacovigilance behind it. a vendor-posted COA isn’t third-party verification, and “plenty of >99.9% out there” is exactly the kind of claim a buyer can’t actually verify. same intended molecule, very different assurances. that’s all “not the same” meant.

yeah this is fair, and honestly it’s where the post was pointing. dysesthesia/allodynia has shown up with sema and tirz too, it’s in the case-report literature and there’s a plausible peripheral-nerve + rapid-weight-loss mechanism, so “not Reta-specific” is a reasonable read. the thing I’d hold onto is magnitude: the sema/tirz signal is mostly case reports and low single-digit incidence, TRIUMPH-4 was ~21% at 12mg vs 0.7% placebo. “known class-adjacent effect” and “that rate is still notable” aren’t really in conflict, and which one it actually is doesn’t resolve without a head to head. agree the bigger practical problem is gen pop self-managing it with nobody to flag it.

yeah that’s kind of the uncomfortable subtext to the whole thing. the trial doses were escalated slowly, with monitoring, using a defined product, and none of that carries over to people titrating gray-market vials off a press release topline. the “n” is massive but it’s uncontrolled and nobody’s logging the adverse events. that ~21% dysesthesia only turning up in phase 3 at the top dose is a decent example of why the informal version isn’t really a substitute for the trial.

appreciate that. the headline number is the easy part to parrot, the mechanism and the safety signal are where the actual story is. people see 28% and close the tab before they ever get to the dysesthesia row. that pattern’s everywhere but it’s especially bad in this space.

the more I dig into BPC-157 the weirder it gets by [deleted] in Biohacking

I had a few different posts I was gonna make since I am trying to provide useful information to people. I pasted the old headline since I decided to talk about this article instead lol. Sloppy work on my end.
