no long term human safety data for most of these, which is the sentence people skip past
took a full month off everything to get a baseline and it was the most useful month of my log

Highlights from this day
ran it alone

one variable at a time or you learn nothing, which is unpopular in a channel full of stacks
baseline month helped
is BPC-157 oral or does it need injecting to do anything
TB-500 did nothing for me over 14 weeks and i stand by that a year later
Testing queue: 8 submissions open, 25 awaiting dispatch.
follow up the scepticism here is because the evidence is thin, not because people are being difficult
purity varies more on these than on the GLP-1s in my experience, 99 on one lot and 99.4 on another
i was confident BPC did something for my elbow and a year later im not, injuries resolve

sorry to jump in PeptideMeter came back 99.2 on a TFC lot, which tells you whats in the vial and nothing about whether it works

stacked, learned nothing

is there a reason this channel is so much more sceptical than the compound ones
[edited]ran one thing at a time for 4 years and ended up with three conclusions, two of them boring
anyone had a purity result under 96.8 on one of these

GHK-Cu did something to my skin texture and i cannot rule out that it was the moisturiser

evidence is thin
took a full month off everything to get a baseline and it was the most useful month of my log
while im here whats a sensible way to tell whether a stack did anything at all
🤝9📈1
while im here is the tendon stuff anecdote or is there something behind it
BPC-157 human evidence is close to absent, the rodent work is extensive and thats a different thing

does GHK-Cu do anything you can actually see

came back after 20 months off and my baseline was where it was before, so nothing persisted
tesamorelin was the only one where i could point at a measured change rather than a feeling
the secretagogue effect faded for me after about 18 months and never came back
ran TB-500 alone for 9 weeks specifically so i could attribute anything that happened, happy to be corrected
i stacked three things for 14 months and the honest conclusion is that i learned nothing

changed my mind on stacking, i used to defend it and now i think it just makes a log unreadable, we shall see
is stacking three things at once ever defensible
the labs will run purity on most of these, its identity and content, not efficacy
i think most of what gets reported here is regression to the mean, my own reports included
cold chain matters for anything reconstituted whatever it is, mine live at 4.8 degrees
