testing is the most under-discussed thing in c/bloodwork

Needs Sourcebranch of 20 comments

Confession thread, sort of. I went from 0.5mg to 12.5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 10 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…

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with PeptideMeter, not with what you concluded.

independent test or vendor COA, which is it

Did you test the vial you received or are we going off the vendor COA?

Small correction: the trial was 22 weeks, not 22. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Disagree on that part. 98.6% and 98.7% on the same vial is normal.

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

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

Reship experience: SSA asked for photos, processed it in 20 days, sent a replacement no questions. That is the template.

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

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.

c/vendorvetting rules
  1. One vendor per post. Multi-vendor comparisons go in the monthly comparison thread.
  2. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Zero tolerance, permanent ban.
  3. Positive and negative reports both need the same evidence standard: order date, product, and what was tested.
  4. Vendor staff must self-identify. Undisclosed vendor accounts are banned on sight.
  5. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  6. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  7. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  8. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  9. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  10. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
