week 86 check-in — 31kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me

Discussion Sourced ×2

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 19 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 constipation I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 56 reads it before doing the same thing.

The Janoshik and Medutest numbers on the same vial from SGN came back 97.4% and 97.2%. Both are right, inter-lab variance is real.

did they reship, credit, or ghost you?

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

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

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.
