Here's my conclusion on everything we know for the research space, purely based on what's happened: A lot of the big research companies are flash-saling and exiting the GLP-1 space because they believe Big Pharma will be enforcing their IP and patents—ensuring no one's stealing from their profit margins. Important to note: All of these GLP sales are voluntary right now. These big companies are easy targets and they don't want to risk their businesses getting shut down in a massive legal war. The smaller companies I've talked to plan to continue carrying products until they've been officially notified not to. The Bottom Line: Trust me, this isn't the end of research. You'll see fewer companies carry those main products and prices will likely creep up. However, we always find a way to pivot and we get better over time. We'll all get through this, but I don't see much new information coming out until 2026. Stay safe, stay informed, and we'll navigate this together 💪 Now We Wait. Don't Panic Buy!

Has anyone’s RS used this blend from Modern Aminos? If so, what experience did they have it with it and would they recommend it?

I've been getting flooded with questions about Renova Peptides and their kit options, so I finally convinced the owner to let me share something important with you all. Here's the deal: Retaone and Renova are sister companies. Same ownership, same quality standards. - Retaone = Single vials only - Renova = Kits and bundles Why weren't they publicly linked? The owner was hesitant because Retaone has lost 15 payment processors in the last 2 months (welcome to the peptide space 🙃). He didn't want any association that might cause issues for Renova's processing. BUT - you guys deserve to know and make informed decisions. That's what this community is about. What this means for you: If you've ordered from Retaone and had a good experience, you can expect the exact same quality from Renova. Same sourcing, same testing standards, same team. I'm also pushing them hard to respond to every customer service email - the volume has been absolutely insane lately, but I'm on them to get caught up. Use code DEREK at both sites: 🔗 Retaone (single vials): https://retaonelabs.com/ref/onn2k/ 🔗 Renova (kits): https://renovapeptides.net/?ref=47 I wanted to be completely transparent with you all, and I finally got permission to share this. You deserve the full picture to make the best decisions for your research. Any questions, drop them below 👇 - Derek

Hey Derek, the drawing Saturday, how do they pick the winners? How many vendors doing a giveaway?

This is where most researchers mess up. They hit their goal, feel great, and then just... stop. Cold turkey. A few weeks later? Food noise is screaming. Hunger is through the roof. The scale starts creeping back up. And they think something's wrong with them. It's not you. It's biology. When you stop a GLP-1 abruptly, your body fights back: → Ghrelin (hunger hormone) can surge above your original baseline → GLP-1 receptors upregulate and "want" stimulation → Gastric emptying speeds back up so meals don't hold you The good news? This is avoidable. I just dropped a full breakdown on Substack covering: ✓ What GLP-1s are actually doing in your brain, gut, and pancreas ✓ Why cold turkey backfires (the mechanisms behind it) ✓ How to properly titrate down (with a real example from 8mg tirz) ✓ Why you need 4 weeks at each dose (it's pharmacokinetics, not arbitrary) ✓ What "true maintenance" actually looks like (hint: it's a range, not a number) ✓ Signs you've found your maintenance sweet spot If you're approaching your goal weight or already there and thinking about what's next — read this before you make any changes.
