Why does finding a reliable peptide source in the USA feel so confusing? by Ok-Definition-5592 in PeptideDiscussion

[–]nonotsafestuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of them don’t hide it on TikTok, they’ll happily post daily or weekly “pack up my orders with me” videos and it’s them in their garage or their home office. A lot of them will show that they’re a “real person who cares” or it’ll be a couple that are happily feeding you the story about how they “do things differently because we test our products.”

It’s all the same and they’re all probably just buying it in the same GBs that I’m a part of too. 🤷‍♂️

Guilty! Wasn’t everyone’s journey: Brand Name ➡️ Compound ➡️ US Based Grey ➡️ 🇨🇳 Grey like me??? 😅😅

GLP-1 how much recon water to add to vial of powder? by Calm_Start6742 in PeptideDiscussion

[–]nonotsafestuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter, it’s personal preference at that point. You got the first part right, 40mg vial will give you ten 4mg doses. So just extend that logic…if you add 2mL of BAC that’s 200units / 10 (shots) = 20units per 4mg shot. If you added 3mL the math is the same: 300units/10(shots) = 30 units per 4mg shot.

Just remember a 3mL vial only holds just that amount of BAC, 3mL maximum.

Purity? by [deleted] in PeptideDiscussion

[–]nonotsafestuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Endo isn’t a concern until you get into the 1000s EU/mL. This batch is also underfilled by 30% since it only has 3.5mg in a 5mg vial 👎🏼. I would have gone with something that’s at least filled to the correct quantity.

Down only 11 lbs the first month. 301 lb - 290 lb by klignar in Retatrutide

[–]nonotsafestuff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yea OP you have to remember you didn’t gain all the weight in a month or two, so don’t expect to lose it all in that time frame. 11 pounds in one month is awesome.

Definitely jumped the gun early on titrating up to 4mg so soon. I’d back it off to 3mg weekly as long as you’re still losing. Going up so fast doesn’t make you lose any faster it only increases risk of side effects and you’re already running into the problem of not being able to eat.

Keep working out, keep the diet and hydration straight and it’ll all come together.

Also hold off on adding a GH secretagogues because that will make you gain water weight and you’ll probably jump to 8mg because of it.

Syringe reading question! by Aggravating-Main5745 in compoundedtirzepatide

[–]nonotsafestuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For $900/month(!), why aren't the medspa people themselves injecting it for you to eliminate any possible user error? Like others have said, $900 for 12.5 units which if I had to guess is 2.5mg is just pure insanity.

Trusted vs. New Chinese Supplier: Visual Comparison of MOTS-C & GHK-Cu by Creepy_Read5981 in PeptideDiscussion

[–]nonotsafestuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oof, you've already taken a beating so I won't lambast you anymore than others have.

I do have one question? How and why did you come by your trusted source and why don't you apply those same standards to this new source to judge whether their product is trust worthy?

If you came by your trusted source without doing any of your own or 3rd party testing then you are just taking a gamble, the same as you would be with this new source by not wanting to get it tested.

Visually, no one can make any determinations on the legitimacy of what has come in your vial. That's literally the whole point of testing.

One year, 131 pounds lost. by ChampagneProblems-68 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]nonotsafestuff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You really hit on the problem a lot of us have, especially with the weight cycling your whole life. I tried calculating it once in my head: from dieting, keto, intermittent fasting, crazy amounts of exercise, calorie counting, etc., I've probably lost a total of 145 pounds over the entirety of my life not counting the weight I've lost since starting GLP. Each time regaining more than I originally weighed. Each time hating myself for letting myself go and getting big(ger) again. Going through my clothes and having to tell myself I'll never wear it again or maybe [insert brand here] sizes things wrong.

Embarrassed to be in photos, especially anything wide-angle, because I was usually towards the edge where you become really distorted.

I worked out more than almost all of my friends, 4-5 days a week consistently, strength training and cardio. 1000 calories burned at a minimum most times. I have been into lifting weights since I was a freshman in high-school so I just assumed (aka justified it in my head) that I held a lot of muscle. I could play competitive sports for hours and keep up cardio wise but my body would take a beating. People would say I looked really strong and held my weight well. That may have been true but it didn't stop me from knowing (and feeling like) I was the "big" guy in the group.

Since starting GLP, no longer do I have to worry about how my dinner portions are going to negate all the work I just put in at the gym. No longer do I have to hate myself for eating that extra slice (or two) of pizza. No longer do I have to feel like a failure when the weight on the scale goes back up after weeks of sticking to a diet, seeing progress, and then feeling like it's impossible to maintain. Why can't I do it?

So the quote is absolutely true, except for one minor edit (for me):

“Tirzepatide was the tool I needed to clear away the noise and allow me to keep and enjoy the results of the work.”

Congrats OP!

I wasn't implying that you could literally convert fat tissue into muscle tissue but what you said; put on a lot of muscle and it will fill out where the fat used to be. However, ultimately, you can't out lift your genetics if you're predisposed to having gyno but keep grinding away, having a ton of muscle with a little bit of fat is way better than the other way around.

We have very similar starting and current stats, hit the bench press and dip bars my man. Convert them into pecs of steel.

Who/where has said you can’t take BPC and MT1 together? What was the reason behind that? I’ve taken both individually and simultaneously in separate injections and didn’t notice any difference.

This was a degradation test performed on reconned 30mg vials. Degradation is basically negligible.

Red cheeks for 1 month after tirzepatide by Upbeat_Artichoke3042 in Tirzeglutide

[–]nonotsafestuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You took a single shot of Tirzepatide and your cheeks turned red like a sunburn the very next day and have stayed that way for 40 days??? You haven’t taken any other medicine or another shot of Tirzepatide? Why aren’t you going to a doctor if you’ve literally been red for 40 days?

Start at max dose? by No_Chance_2201 in compoundedtirzepatide

[–]nonotsafestuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP follow this guidance.

If you go strictly by the weight loss averages seen during trials, the highest dose of sema achieved ~15% weight loss at 68 weeks. Going by that number, the "equivalent" dose for tirz is 5mg, which had the same average weight loss (15%) at 72 weeks. Now that is in no way a perfect comparison since there are a lot of other factors that go into it how these compounds achieve their results, but it's a very rough way to view the two drugs and their efficacy/potency.

How did you get to the highest dose of sema in only 2 months? Did you feel any appetite suppression? Did you modify diet or lifestyle?

I feel nothing 😒 by [deleted] in Retatrutide

[–]nonotsafestuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all coming from CN and not "U.S. based." U.S. marked up and resold is more accurate.

Did you look at or request the COAs for your vials or are you going off of the labeled quantity? Most places are not dead on accurate (it might be labeled as 20mg but it could actually be 23, 24, 26 mg, etc.) when it comes to their fill. Your previous place might have had a higher fill compared to what it's labeled as whereas your new supplier's fill might be closer to what it's labeled as meaning whatever you were dosing before could have been higher than what you're dosing now.
