From my understanding of this thread and my own experiences, you really don't know what you’re ingesting. A lot of this is putting faith in the sites you order from. But with that in mind, I’ve talked with people who have been taking peptides for years and they don’t notice anything out-of-the-ordinary outside of general side effects or sometimes bad side effects for a day if their orders were bad.
I’m not sure what goes through the manufacturers mind, but some of these sites are making big bucks from their customers. So it wouldn’t make much sense, at least for the trusted sites, to try and cut corners. For example, it sounds like a handful of people from here order from PP and ADC. Given that, and given that their are probably thousands of other people that have read this site and taken their wisdom for what it is, I’d assume those two companies get a decent amount of business. So with that in mind, do you really think it’d be worth it for them to make shadier quality peptides?
Also, I’ve read about ways to test your peptides, but apparently that cost $200. And honestly, if you are REALLY concerned about something you order from a site, getting it tested for $200 isn’t THAT bad of a deal when you think of it. If Cialis 20 mg generally costs $20 a pill, and you buy a 30MG bottle of tadalafil (liquid) from one of these research sites, then you’re talking about 900MG of cialis (1mg liquid = 30mg cialis). 900 / 20 = 45 20mg pills. At $20 each, that’ll cost $900 to buy 45 pills. If you take the difference of 900 and 200 + cost of liquid, that’s about $665. So even if you bought and tested 3 batches and the first 2 were “bad”, you’re still saving $195.
That’s how I rationalize it at least, and I urge you to think for yourself. I just hope my response gives you some insight!
