VendorInvestigate: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1

Needs Source Well Actually ×4 Sourced ×3

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 15mg to 7.5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 22 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 early fullness I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 80 reads it before doing the same thing.

one vendor per post, multi-vendor goes in the monthly thread

MKM three times. First two perfect, third arrived with a gel pack failure. Powder tested 98.3% anyway, so no harm done.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

TFC took 23 days to answer an email and the material was flawless. Both of those things are true.

Correct. The batch number is load-bearing information, not optional.

u/honest_syringe1950 points·3 months ago

Correct.

Disagree on that part. 98.7% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.

GL Biochem took 12 days to answer an email and the material was flawless. Both of those things are true.

This order history matches mine almost exactly. Same vendor, same timeframe, same result.

positive and negative reports both need the same evidence standard

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.

Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

Small correction: the trial was 21 weeks, not 12. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

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.
