[Question] how do you actually verify Medutest

Question Clean Column ×5 Cold Box ×1

Quick one. Canada here.

reship works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.

Specifics: the route I used took 10 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.

Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.

Batch number? Date? Method? Give us the load-bearing fields.

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

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

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

u/gustav_lindholm92 points·1 year ago·edited

No.

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

Correct. The batch number is load-bearing information, not optional.

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

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

u/dagny_ogunleyeOP2 points·1 year ago

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

Cosigning the evidence standard. Receipts make the community.

u/kaia_cabrera32 points·1 year ago

The VendorInvestigate and Janoshik numbers on the same vial from TFC came back 97.4% and 98.3%. Both are right, inter-lab variance is real.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

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.
