PSA Clean Column ×5 Long Haul ×1

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.

I have been tracking customs against eGFR for 9 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.

Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.

tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 20 weeks to accept.

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

Do you have an import allowance in your jurisdiction?

Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

the 21mg import allowance is Australia-specific

Not to be pedantic but declared value and personal import are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.

Ireland here. Waited 21 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.

the Canada import rules are specific to Canada

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

the Netherlands here. Waited 11 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 16–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

About c/customs

What happens at the border: personal-import allowances, seizure letters, declared value, research-use documentation and why it is not a magic word, and the enormous variation between jurisdictions that makes most internet advice on this topic worthless.

c/customs rules
  1. Always state your country. Advice from another jurisdiction can actively harm you.
  2. No advice on evading inspection or misdeclaring contents.
  3. Seizure letters: redact everything identifying before posting.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.

Several compounds discussed on GLP Research Hub are sold for research use only and are not approved for human use anywhere. Nothing here is medical advice and none of it is written by your clinician. If a post reads like an instruction, treat it as a description of what one stranger did.
