testing is the most under-discussed thing in c/bloodwork

Needs Source The Quiet One ×3 Slow Clap ×2

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 0.5mg to 12.5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 10 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.

So now I have constipation I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 86 reads it before doing the same thing.

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with PeptideMeter, not with what you concluded.

independent test or vendor COA, which is it

u/greta_lokken16 points·2 months ago

Did you test the vial you received or are we going off the vendor COA?

positive and negative reports both need the same evidence standard

Small correction: the trial was 22 weeks, not 22. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Disagree on that part. 98.6% and 98.7% on the same vial is normal.

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

did they reship, credit, or ghost you?

Slight fix: the number was 95.1, not 94.2. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

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

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

Ordered from SWB, got the vial, tested it myself via VendorInvestigate, and it held the claim. Order fulfilled.

the PeptideMeter result being close to the claim is the signal, not the absolute number

Tested 13 batches from WWB over 22 weeks. The consistency is the signal. They claim 98, they deliver 98.

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.
