[Results] 16 weeks on 12.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring

PSA Clean Column ×5

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 0.25mg to 10mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 23 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.

So now I have muscle cramps I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 14 reads it before doing the same thing.

PDF metadata said the COA was created in a browser four months after the date printed on the page. Worth flagging.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

Yeah, the batch number across three vendors is a real signal.

Which order and did you have any communication from Homopeptide?

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

Strongly agree. The dispute resolved and the record stayed updated.

The VendorInvestigate results I got back showed 93.7% but QSC claimed 95.1%. Same vial, two services. I posted the receipts.

Slight fix: the number was 95.1, not 94.2. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 70 weeks to accept.

About c/scamalerts

Documented fraud: cloned storefronts, recycled COA PDFs, batch numbers appearing across unrelated vendors, fake test reports, group-buy exit scams, and the small number of patterns that account for almost all of it. Accusations without evidence are removed — not because we doubt you, but because unverifiable accusations make the community useless.
