[Discussion] are the c/vendorvetting evidence rules too strict (no)

Discussion

Quick one. Canada here.

moderation 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 19 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.

Came off after 43 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

Strongly agree.

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

Strongly agree.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 61 weeks to accept.

What was the batch number and which service?

the evidence standards are disclosure

the wiki is the source

Maintenance for 14 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.

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

Not to be pedantic but wiki and ranking are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

Small correction: the trial was 6 weeks, not 21. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

c/meta rules
  1. Moderation appeals go through modmail first; Meta is for policy, not individual cases.
  2. Rule-change proposals need a concrete wording suggestion.
  3. Sponsor and disclosure questions are always answered publicly.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
Moderators
Volunteers. Unpaid, unaffiliated, and reachable through modmail only.
Before you read on

Several compounds discussed on GLP Research Hub are sold for research use only and are not approved for human use anywhere. Nothing here is medical advice and none of it is written by your clinician. If a post reads like an instruction, treat it as a description of what one stranger did.
