is it normal to get injection-site soreness at week 29

Vendor Slow Clap ×5

Right, the VendorInvestigate question again, but with numbers this time.

I have 7 data points over 6 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.

The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 48, not week 2. People give up long before the interesting part.

Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.

This order history matches mine almost exactly. Same vendor, same timeframe, same result.

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

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

Is that a VendorInvestigate result or are you quoting the vendor COA?

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

GL Biochem took 20 days to answer an email and the material was flawless. Both of those things are true.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

Which service tested it and what did they come back with?

u/lane_map_larrylogistics3 points·2 years ago

Went through three vendors to find one that actually ships on-time and tests clean. The answer was QYB.

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.
