[Discussion] can we stop arguing about PeptideMeter until somebody posts a number

Discussion Clean Column ×4 Slow Clap ×3 Long Haul ×3

Week 18 update. 4kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 70.

Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with muscle cramps.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

The Janoshik and Medutest numbers on the same vial from SWB came back 98.1% and 98.0%. Both are right, inter-lab variance is real.

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.

First order from HJ was great, second one had a different batch and tested lower. The vendor retested and credited me. Logged it here.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

independent test or vendor COA, which is it

Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.

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

Homopeptide order #9, Sweden, no drama, receipts inside

Order date, product, and result, in that order please?

QST three times. First two perfect, third arrived with a gel pack failure. Powder tested 99.2% anyway, so no harm done.

u/gustav_vermeulen147 points·1 year ago

Not to be pedantic but order records and reship are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 12 weeks to accept.

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

replysharereportpermalink
u/marit_sandvik304 points·1 year ago·edited

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

did they reship, credit, or ghost you?

u/lane_map_larrylogistics225 points·1 year ago

Disagree on that part. 98.7% and 98.4% on the same vial is normal.

receipts or nothing, sorry but that is the rule

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

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.
