the secretagogue effect faded for me after about 19 months and never came back

Highlights from this day
- split_the_cost — anyone had a purity result under 97.4 on one of these 19:30
- plus_sixteen — update on the earlier thing reconstituted 20 in 1ml and it stayed clear for the whole vial, which is the low bar we work with 19:42
- plus_sixteen — cold chain matters for anything reconstituted whatever it is, mine live at 3.1 degrees 19:50
- plus_sixteen — the tendon claims trace back to a small number of animal studies that get cited well past what they support 20:22
- plus_sixteen — TB-500 did nothing for me over 22 weeks and i stand by that a year later, for what its worth 20:34
quick one is BPC-157 oral or does it need injecting to do anything
anyone tried one variable at a time here or is everyone stacking
anyone had a purity result under 97.4 on one of these
🔥18
how do people test purity on these, does VendorInvestigate even take them
quick one took a full month off everything to get a baseline and it was the most useful month of my log

whats the evidence base for tesamorelin outside the licensed indication
cold chain matters for anything reconstituted whatever it is, mine live at 3.1 degrees

does tesamorelin need the same cold chain care as the GLP-1s
tesamorelin was the only one where i could point at a measured change rather than a feeling
slightly off topic but if youre going to run something, run it long enough and alone, otherwise dont bother logging it
is the human evidence thin or genuinely absent
unrelated but is the tendon stuff anecdote or is there something behind it
i log these exactly like doses, date, amount, site, what i noticed, and its still hard to read back
anyone got a before and after on GHK-Cu that isnt just lighting
the tendon claims trace back to a small number of animal studies that get cited well past what they support

sceptical but curious
ran one thing at a time for 3 years and ended up with three conclusions, two of them boring
for the archive the labs will run purity on most of these, its identity and content, not efficacy
stacked, learned nothing

TB-500 did nothing for me over 22 weeks and i stand by that a year later, for what its worth

placebo maybe
update on the earlier thing secretagogues made me ravenous, which is a fairly direct signal that something was happening
did nothing for me
nobody here can tell you whether BPC will help your injury and anyone who does is guessing
GHK-Cu did something to my skin texture and i cannot rule out that it was the moisturiser
changed my mind on stacking, i used to defend it and now i think it just makes a log unreadable
evidence is thin
ran it alone
does anyone log these the way people log doses in the other channels
how do you separate healing from time when the injury was going to heal anyway
anyone reconstituted a 10 vial of these to 4 and had it stay clear
genuine question came back after 17 months off and my baseline was where it was before, so nothing persisted
i think most of what gets reported here is regression to the mean, my own reports included
oral BPC is a different question from injected and the two get discussed as if theyre the same
the honest split is that some of these have licensed uses and some have a reputation and nothing else
Janoshik came back 99.2 on a JEEP lot, which tells you whats in the vial and nothing about whether it works
how long do people run TB-500 before deciding it did nothing
people get pointed at verification because purity is the only measurable part of any of this
verification channel has some
purity varies more on these than on the GLP-1s in my experience, 99 on one lot and 96.8 on another
my shoulder got better on BPC and it also got better across six weeks of rest i took at the same time
baseline month helped
whats a sensible way to tell whether a stack did anything at all
*Janoshik not the other one
BPC-157 human evidence is close to absent, the rodent work is extensive and thats a different thing
ran GHK-Cu for 8 weeks and stopped because i couldnt tell, which is a result of a kind
tesamorelin has a licensed indication and everything outside it is us extrapolating
