Ever researched with GLOW or KLOW and got that nasty stinging effect that makes your eyes water? Yeah, me too. Thought it was just part of the deal. Turns out we've been doing it wrong this whole time. The Phone Call That Changed Everything I was on the phone today with one of the original formulators of these blends. Here's what they told me: These blends were NEVER meant to be in 3ml vials. When GLOW and KLOW first came out, they were always in 5ml vials because you need more BAC water to prevent irritation in research. The peptide concentration in a 3ml vial is just too high. That's what causes the brutal stinging in research protocols. The Fix Backload 10-20 units of BAC water into your syringe before drawing your research dose. Draw your normal dose, then add the extra BAC water on top. This dilutes it right before use in research. More dilution = way less irritation. Simple as that. Some researchers are already doing this and reporting way better research experiences. Why 3ml Then? Great question. Probably, cost savings or the original formulation knowledge just got lost as these blends became more popular. I'm going to reach out to vendors to see if anyone's willing to offer proper 5ml versions and update the price tool accordingly. Your Experience? Have you dealt with the GLOW/KLOW sting in research? Tried the backloading method? Drop your experience below 👇 This is exactly the kind of knowledge that gets lost when we don't talk to the people who actually created this stuff. I learned so much today and wanted to share! ⚠️ RESEARCH USE ONLY | Not for human consumption

What is the recommended dosage for GHK CU? I have observed some RS do close to 5mg a day claiming it brings faster results. Is this true? Also how important is cycling. 5 on 2 off or just every day for 2 month and 1 month off completely. Thank you

I want to address my January 1st post about vendors who hadn't removed their GLP-1 listings after their stated deadline. After having direct conversations, I've learned there's significantly more happening behind the scenes in the RUO space than I was aware of. Due to legal considerations, I can't share specifics publicly. This will be my only post addressing it again. What I got wrong: I assumed the deadline messaging was primarily a marketing tactic. It wasn't and I understand a lot of you will different opinions. While I still don't agree with how some of the arbitrary dates were communicated, I now understand these vendors were operating with information and constraints I wasn't privy to. To those who've lost trust in me over this: I get it. I'm taking this as a learning experience—I shouldn't be communicating or speculating on major shifts in this space until I see it. Moving forward: I'm stepping back from speculation and assumptions about vendor decisions. We're all working with imperfect information, and I'd rather wait to see how things actually unfold over the next month or two than contribute to drama or misinformation. The research space is navigating complex challenges right now. I'll continue focusing on what I can rather than trying to interpret decisions I don't have full context on. — Derek

If you've been here a while, you know I always preach "low and slow" with research protocols. Here's why that matters. It comes down to side effects. Let me use an example outside of peptides. When a research subject takes testosterone, taking too much doesn't build more muscle. Instead, the excess converts into estrogen—and now you've created new problems. There's a point where more stops helping and starts hurting. Peptides work the same way. Your receptors can only handle so much. Once they're activated, dumping more compound on them doesn't do anything extra—it just causes side effects. Take GLP-1 receptor agonists for example. Push too hard and you get: - Nausea - Stomach issues - Your receptors getting worn out over time - Wasted money with no added benefit This applies across the board. Growth hormone secretagogues, melanocortin agonists, whatever you're researching—the principle is the same. Receptors have limits. The approach that actually works: 1. Start low. You can always go up. You can't undo side effects. 2. Give it time. Many peptides take weeks to show full results. Don't jump the gun. 3. Increase slowly when needed. Small bumps help you find the sweet spot. 4. Track everything. You can't optimize what you don't measure. Bottom line: More is not always better. Why use twice the compound for the same results (or worse)? Slow and steady wins the race. Trust the process. 🏁 For research and educational purposes only.

What's up everyone! Just dropped a feature I've been wanting to add for a while – automatic shipping cost comparison. The Problem: We've all been there. You find a solid deal on a reta or cagri, click through to checkout, and BAM – $20 shipping charge. Suddenly that "deal" isn't looking so hot. The Solution: I added a new Shipping filter on product pages that factors in shipping costs and automatically reranks everything from cheapest to most expensive total price. How It Works: 1. Go to any product page (try Retatrutide 20mg – super saturated market) 2. You'll see the new "Shipping" toggle in the filters (next to Singles/Trios/Kits and Testing) 3. Click it and watch the rankings shift based on actual total cost including shipping 4. All shipping costs are updated and based on Colorado rates (most are flat rate so pretty universal) Example: Valor might show $15 flat rate shipping, Ion shows $12, etc. The rankings adjust so you see the TRUE cheapest option, not just the lowest product price. Still Have the Cart Feature: The "Add to Cart" button still works like before – you can stack multiple items and see combined shipping costs at the bottom. But this new filter makes single-product comparisons instant. Watch the full demo here: https://vimeo.com/1150117421/6bcd32c241 What's Next: Might add a global shipping toggle that applies across the whole site (probably in the top filters). For now, it's live on individual product pages. This should make it way easier to find actual deals without the shipping surprise. Let me know if you find this useful! More features coming for the new year + some new vendors getting added soon 👊 Check it out: https://peptideprice.store
