Hello, I am a male in my 30's. I am on a weight loss journey that led me to the idea of using peptides (Reta). I am trying to do all the research I can, and so far the forums has been very informational. Before I found the forums I was watching many many youtube videos, and some you had to pay subscription for more access to information. I've learned so much already just by reading some threads there. I'm excited to learn more about this and thanks for letting me join!

Edit: I just ordered 2 different kits. It was a learning curve for sure, but I made sure to follow advice that I saw on some threads. As of right now 5:15pm central time I haven't had order confirmation. I sent payment at 1:54pm. I'm super excited to receive my order! Also I read that the best bac water starts with an H? I'm still learning to make sure its legit so I don't make mistakes. I read a thread where some products came back not clean 😱 kinda scary!
 
Welcome to the forums! You're further along than me. I'm still figuring out how all of this works and develop an understanding of the commitment.
 
Welcome! I’m also in the southern US 🙂 I’ve been dabbling in research peptides for a few years now. My best advice to you is look for those with positive reviews and recent COAs. You can also get testing done yourself; it’s pricey, but it can be worth the peace of mind! Good luck to you on your weight loss journey!

I think what helped me was my previous knowledge using crypto. The vendor I chose advised that it was the quickest form of payment. What also helped me were youtube videos of doctors/users explaining the peptides. There are many educated peeps that share a lot of useful tips and information.

On the forums the search bar is nice, I type in key words and browse the threads to find the info I need.

The vendor I chose had a decent amount of reviews on here, but the COA was from March. I hope its still good. I found the section where people share their test results, I think that's super cool.
 
Never trust a vendors COA. Test all your peps. 3rd party testing groups are the way to go. Don't waste money on testing for heavy metals or sterility. Always filter your peps. Look for a podcast from Peter Magic. Good Info there but don't limit your knowledge to one source.

Why are sterility tests a waste?

Filtering with a PES 0.22 μm syringe filter achieves sterility. However it does nothing for endos, heavy metals or other contaminants…which is why I always want to see that testing, preferably 3P to confirm vendor COA.

Welcome! You are in good company! I’ve been using the vendor review section a lot since I joined and have been successful in purchasing good products. Have fun and good luck on your journey!

crypto has always been my achilles' heel, I feel like I have to learn it everytime.

You have peaked my interest. I have been looking into group buys or 3rd party testing groups. It would be nice to split the cost of testing. Curious, how much is individual testing. I have some that I bought but not a vendor I had used in the past so I would like to get it tested.

The first orders are nail bitters. You read, learn and than go for it hoping you did everything right. There are alot of US vendors to make it a little easier and quicker then CN. My opinion is the H is the best. Make sure you look up filtering videos. Its always good to filter everything. Its seems harder than it is, but its best to be safe no matter where you get it from.
 
Greetings fellow redneck! This website is really a great resource for learning. I remember that one prominent testing service used to publicly post results of testing (mostly steroid makers), but people would group to test batches, etc in a way that the manufacturers could not easily game.

I ordered a box of filters for around 60 cents each. I will definitely use them!

Welcome, I’m also from the South US! I am still really new too but I have been learning so much. I just received my first order for tirz but have not gone through the process of reconstitution just yet. I still have a fresh vial from my med clinic.

I am planning on sending off my first vial to be tested, but now I am learning about filtering so I feel like once I get the results back, I will be ready to filter.

Just for reference, I did NOT get the H BAC but I did do some digging, and I feel comfortable with my choices. So I guess YOLO 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Hi Sukuna!

Just wondering if there are any updates on your order? How is this venture?
