[Discussion] we should require batch numbers in every vendor post title

Discussion

Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.

The claim: vendor matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 20 months without either producing anything.

What would actually settle it is 15 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.

If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

one vendor per post, multi-vendor goes in the monthly thread

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 15–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

Not to be pedantic but VendorInvestigate and Janoshik are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

vendor staff must self-identify, full stop

Adding to this: Janoshik is doing more work than the comment implies.

Reship experience: GGPeps asked for photos, processed it in 20 days, sent a replacement no questions. That is the template.

I am going to push back on this slightly.

About c/vendorvetting

The community due-diligence desk. Vendor experiences, independent third-party test results, shipping and reship records, and the boring paperwork that separates a supplier from a story. Every substantive claim is expected to carry a receipt: an order id, a dated screenshot, or a test report from Janoshik, Medutest, PeptideMeter or VendorInvestigate.

  5. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  6. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
