why does nobody talk about testing

Question Cold Box ×8 Slow Clap ×3 Long Haul ×1

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 12.5mg to 5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 18 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 reflux I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 45 reads it before doing the same thing.

Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

the reship rate on BCH is actually pretty consistent

Ordered from SGN, got the vial, tested it myself via VendorInvestigate, and it held the claim. Order fulfilled.

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

independent test or vendor COA, which is it

Yeah, BCH took 16 days and the material was flawless. Both of those things are true.

Reship experience: JEEP asked for photos, processed it in 4 days, sent a replacement no questions. That is the template.

About c/vendorvetting

The community due-diligence desk. Vendor experiences, independent third-party test results, shipping and reship records, and the boring paperwork that separates a supplier from a story. Every substantive claim is expected to carry a receipt: an order id, a dated screenshot, or a test report from Janoshik, Medutest, PeptideMeter or VendorInvestigate.
