The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

inter-lab variance is real, 9 points is inside normal

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

Strongly agree. Customs adds unpredictable delay.

Strongly agree. ALT is where you catch the liver story early.

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

Did anything else change in the same window?

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

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

no naming compounders operating against current rules

Small correction: the trial was 4 weeks, not 32. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

below-spec results get logged, not dismissed

sample of one, say so

JEEP claimed 96.2%, Janoshik came back 94.2%. 16 points is inter-lab variance, no drama.

Crossposting this to c/sideeffects because the people who need it are not reading this community.

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

small molecule purity is different testing than peptides

I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.

customs clearance often adds 17 days, factor that in
