comment on [Question] batch — what am I missing here in c/coa · 31 points · 11 months ago
net peptide content and purity are two different numbers on the same vial
comment on reship — 19 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/intlshipping · 82 points · 11 months ago
Four observations is not a distribution.
Adding the field everyone forgets — the month. Without it the report is not comparable to anything.
comment on reship — 19 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/intlshipping · 16 points · 11 months ago
Correcting myself: 9 days, not the figure I posted upthread. I was counting from the order date rather than dispatch.
comment on reship — 19 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/intlshipping · 50 points · 11 months ago
Right, and the last mile is where my variance has always come from, not the international leg.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify biopsy in c/survodutide · 39 points · 1 year ago
Careful with the mechanism claim. Glucagon agonism is plausible as an explanation and it has not been isolated as the operative one.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify PDF metadata in c/scamalerts · 80 points · 1 year ago
Domain age, registrar and certificate issuance date are all public and take about a minute to check. A site claiming years of history on a months-old domain is the cheapest signal available.
comment on [Question] Canada — has anyone got a straight answer on carrier in c/intlshipping · 162 points · 1 year ago
Packaging is assessable on arrival with no equipment: rigid outer, no movement inside, the cold element sized to the transit rather than to the box.
comment on SURPASS — 17 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/trialwatch · 12 points · 1 year ago
Intention-to-treat analyses everybody randomised regardless of what they did afterwards. Completer analyses only those who finished. The second is systematically more flattering and both are legitimate if labelled.
comment on [Vendor] BCH order #17 — Germany, 12 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/intlshipping · 10 points · 1 year ago
Correction: that was clearance time, not carrier time. The lane table separates them for exactly this reason.
comment on reading packaging threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/intlshipping · 664 points · 1 year ago
4 days on a lane quoted at 4 is the shape you want
comment on 4 months in and hepatic fat is still the thing I get wrong in c/survodutide · 17 points · 1 year ago
the weight numbers are secondary to what this is being developed for
comment on [Discussion] the purity advice in here is 3 years out of date in c/coa · 157 points · 1 year ago
axis labels included, always
comment on how much of what we believe about bloodwork actually comes from baseline labs threads in c/bloodwork · 15 points · 1 year ago
one measurement is a point, two is a line, three is a trend
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about area percent is guesswork in c/coa · 3 points · 1 year ago
Same view. SGN prints the column and the gradient, which means somebody could actually reproduce the run.
comment on [PSA] cloned site is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/scamalerts · 1 points · 1 year ago
Ask for the batch-specific certificate before payment.
Adding the practical version: buy small from anyone new, test it, then decide.
comment on how much of what we believe about scam actually comes from PDF metadata threads in c/scamalerts · 28 points · 1 year ago
screenshots are not evidence, dates and documents are
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify SURPASS in c/trialwatch · 153 points · 1 year ago
FLOW was kidney outcomes and it is the one nobody quotes
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about certificate of analysis is guesswork in c/coa · 1 points · 1 year ago
net peptide content and purity are two different numbers on the same vial
comment on [Lab] Homopeptide survo — Medutest came back 98.4% against a claimed 98.0% in c/survodutide · 12 points · 1 year ago
not approved anywhere, and the boards forget that constantly
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about lipids until somebody posts a number in c/bloodwork · 13 points · 1 year ago
baseline before you start is worth more than any later panel
comment on why does nobody talk about lane in c/intlshipping · 10 points · 1 year ago
regional stock changes everything about transit
comment on [Discussion] the related substances advice in here is 2 years out of date in c/coa · 26 points · 1 year ago
Started keeping a folder of every certificate I have been sent. The ones that itemise impurities are a small group and they are mostly the same suppliers.
comment on [Question] DHL — what am I missing here in c/intlshipping · 35 points · 1 year ago
Clearance took three days and the carrier took nine. I had been blaming the wrong half for two years.
comment on reading lipids threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/bloodwork · -37 points · 1 year ago
Careful — that is a question for whoever ordered the panel, and nobody in this thread can answer it responsibly.
comment on [Lab] split one vial across Janoshik and Medutest — 98.1% and 97.6% in c/coa · 14 points · 1 year ago
Disagree that a lower number is automatically worse. A conservative claim that survives testing is worth more than an optimistic one that does not.
comment on why does nobody talk about survodutide in c/survodutide · 58 points · 1 year ago
Nothing containing this compound is approved anywhere. Research-use-only material is not approved for human use.
comment on is it normal to get muscle cramps at week 90 in c/bloodwork · 43 points · 1 year ago
a single fasting insulin outside range is a reason to repeat, not to panic
comment on reading MASH threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/survodutide · 63 points · 1 year ago
research material is not approved for human use, which is why the clinical record here is thin
comment on [Lab] 4th independent test on GGPeps — 97.9% on a claimed 97.5%, and the trend is the interesting part in c/scamalerts · 37 points · 1 year ago
Same. A batch-specific document requested before payment costs nothing and filters an enormous amount.
comment on hazard ratio is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/trialwatch · 56 points · 1 year ago
SURPASS is the diabetes programme and reports glycaemic endpoints
comment on help me understand area percent, I have read the wiki twice in c/coa · 85 points · 1 year ago
Does the lot on the vial match the lot on the page?
comment on [Lab] split one vial across PeptideMeter and VendorInvestigate — 97.9% and 98.0% in c/scamalerts · 373 points · 1 year ago
check the domain character by character before you check anything else
comment on how much of what we believe about endpoint actually comes from TRIUMPH threads in c/trialwatch · 43 points · 1 year ago
STEP is semaglutide obesity, SURMOUNT is tirzepatide obesity, they are not interchangeable
comment on [Question] carrier — what am I missing here in c/intlshipping · 8 points · 2 years ago
Yes — regional stock is the single biggest variable and it barely gets mentioned outside this board.
comment on help me understand SURMOUNT, I have read the wiki twice in c/trialwatch · 707 points · 2 years ago
Discontinuation rates are a tolerability result. A trial with a strong efficacy number and heavy discontinuation is telling you two things and people only quote one.
comment on [Discussion] related substances are doing more work than we give it credit for in c/coa · 268 points · 2 years ago
Disagree that a lower number is automatically worse. A conservative claim that survives testing is worth more than an optimistic one that does not.
comment on [Discussion] related substances are doing more work than we give it credit for in c/coa · 384 points · 2 years ago
Water content 3.8%, acetate 6.2%, purity 99%, net peptide about 90% of label weight. All four numbers honest, and I had to read it twice.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about water content is guesswork in c/coa · 47 points · 2 years ago
redact your own name, never the batch details
comment on [PSA] lipids are not what most of this community thinks it is in c/bloodwork · 165 points · 2 years ago
Cosigning on baseline. The panel I regret most is the one I did not take before starting.
comment on three years of purity threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/coa · 33 points · 2 years ago
Pushing back a little: a missing field is usually presentation, not concealment. Ask for the full document before drawing conclusions.
