The title is the argument: the Medutest thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down. Here is the rest of it. What a batch record should carry: the lot…

comment on [Vendor] MKM — five tests, four compounds, nothing outside the band in c/vendorvetting · 40 points · 1 months ago
Careful. "Nobody has tested Eternal Peptides" is a statement about this board, not about the supplier. Say the first thing, not the second.

Six orders across two years from JEEP. Same packaging, same paperwork, same lead time. The most boring supplier relationship I have and I mean that as praise.
comment on [Meta] the vendor rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/vendorvetting · 38 points · 2 months ago
Agreed on buying small first. The cost of a test is small next to the cost of committing to a supplier you have not checked.

Paradigm Peptide came up in three threads the week I was ordering and I could not find a single independent result for them anywhere. Went with a documented supplier instead.

Right — QYB publishes the method line on the certificate, and once you have seen one that does you notice every one that does not.

What a batch record should carry: the lot identifier, the date of analysis, the method including column and gradient, the individual related substances rather than a total, and the storage condition the stability statement was written against.

comment on reading order records threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/vendorvetting · 169 points · 3 months ago
Lead time and minimum quantity are the two facts people forget to ask for and then argue about later. Both are answerable in one email before you commit.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about bloodwork is guesswork in c/bloodwork · 39 points · 4 months ago
one measurement is a point, two is a line, three is a trend
comment on the Medutest thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/vendorvetting · 2 points · 6 months ago
Small fix — the figure you quoted is the claimed purity from the certificate, and the independent result was the higher of the two.

Did you ask for the batch-specific certificate, or the generic one?
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about PeptideMeter until somebody posts a number in c/vendorvetting · 9 points · 6 months ago
That is a report count, not a test count. The table lists both and they are very different numbers.
comment on week 31 check-in — 11kg down, sulphur burps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/bloodwork · 1 points · 7 months ago
This. Reference ranges are population intervals, not targets, and conflating them causes a lot of unnecessary alarm here.
comment on week 31 check-in — 11kg down, sulphur burps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/bloodwork · 12 points · 7 months ago
Reference intervals are typically the central 95% of a reference population. By construction one person in twenty falls outside one on any given test without anything being wrong.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify order records in c/vendorvetting · 5 points · 1 year ago
The thing that decided it for me was that SWB answered a column-and-gradient question in writing without asking why I wanted to know.
comment on A1c — 9 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/bloodwork · 14 points · 1 year ago
weight loss itself moves several of these independently
comment on stalled for 6 weeks at 1.7mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/bloodwork · 129 points · 1 year ago
Nobody here can interpret your panel and this comment is not doing so. What a board can usefully do is help you ask better questions of somebody who can.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring VendorInvestigate at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/vendorvetting · 10 points · 1 year ago
lead time quoted at checkout is the number to hold them to
tried ApoB for 18 weeks. here is what happened, which sounds obvious until you try to state the evidence for it. To save the first four comments: 18 weeks. Compared two…
comment on [Lab] SSA tirz — Medutest came back 98.2% against a claimed 97.5% in c/vendorvetting · 97 points · 1 year ago
Right — SGN publishes the method line on the certificate, and once you have seen one that does you notice every one that does not.

Independent testing is worth more than a supplied certificate for one structural reason: the chain of custody. A member who buys, ships and pays is testing the same thing you would receive.

comment on [Question] Medutest — what am I missing here in c/vendorvetting · 45 points · 1 year ago
a supplier that answers method questions in writing has already told you a lot

Fasting or not, and what time of day?
comment on [Question] testing — what am I missing here in c/vendorvetting · 67 points · 2 years ago
Mild pushback: a supplier with fewer entries is not worse, it is less sampled. Those are different claims and the table says so.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about ApoB until somebody posts a number in c/bloodwork · 46 points · 2 years ago
ApoB is the one worth adding if you only add one

Not convinced by the ranking-by-vibe approach here. The community number is derived from reports; your feeling is derived from four posts you remember.
