AmoPure batch stings! Anyone else?

[Quinn72]

I'm no chemist, so I have no idea.

Is that common in prepared peptides? Can you explain why you think that's the case, GymGirl?

I got some bac water off of Amazon and I'm happy with it. The name is BACTERIOSTATIC. It got the most positive feedback and had over 10,000 purchases in the last 30 days.

FYI, if you use a medical supply company you can get name-brand bac water for next to nothing. With shipping, I got five bottles for the same price as one from Amazon.

 

[Macro_Manager]

Thanks for the heads up!!

BACTERIOSTATIC is a description of the water, not a brand name.

 

[SubSet]

That's what they're calling themselves. I'm not saying I agree with it. It's sneaky marketing IMO. Lots of reviews mention the cap wasn't crimped on right, which would be a big red flag

 

[Macro_Manager]

I'm just mentioning what it said on the package.

I did see that review, but mine was crimped on I even tried to pull it off just to be sure

I learned the hard way that if you don't use brand-name water or whatever the peptide vendor sells you, and you encounter a product issue, they will try to blame the mixing solution and refuse to help you.

 

[Quinn72]

Good advice!

 

[Macro_Manager]

Good to know, thanks.

Also, Quinn72 will call you out if you're not using the good stuff

 

[Quinn72]

You know it's true!!!

I noticed that same clear gel on the side of the vial. It took longer to dissolve than the rest, like 20 minutes. I'm not getting any stinging. Just a mild discomfort for a couple of minutes after the second injection, but the first one was painless.

 

[Quinn72]

I haven't found solid info about GLP-1s dissolving slowly. I suspect it comes from variations in the type of bulking agent used, or how it's processed.

If you've seen the vials that contain ONLY the lyophilized peptide, you know that most of the 'puck' is just filler. It seems unlikely that the peptide itself creates 'gelling', clumping, or similar issues.

 

[SubSet]

So, I took my third shot today. I let the syringe warm up after drawing the tirz from the refrigerated vial. There was minor stinging when the tirz went in, very minor stinging for a few minutes, then it was fine.

The stinging from the first two shots was worse and lasted longer (20-30 minutes), but it wasn't bad enough for me to quit using the tirz, so it's manageable.

 

[Med_Queen499]

I feel you SubSet, the results are so good that I'm willing to put up with the discomfort. I love not feeling hungry all the time!

What about trifluoroacetic acid? Could that cause burning if it wasn't completely removed?

That's a good question. Impurities can definitely cause irritation. It's also possible, as Quinn72 mentioned, that the pH balance of the solution is off.

I'm only a couple weeks in and the fatigue is hitting me hard. Anyone else feel totally wiped after their shot?

I know what you mean. Are you watching your calories? When my calories get too low, I feel exhausted.

Bought the same batch and wanted to check if others tested purity on it.
