Overseas Lipo C - Worth the Risk?

I've been on Lipo C for about 14 months now and it's been great. I usually get it from a compounding pharmacy here in the states. I know there are international vendors that offer it too, but I remember hearing about some issues a while back with one seller who was basically peddling fake stuff. Has anyone actually ordered Lipo C from overseas, or is it safer to just stick with domestic sources?
 
I get mine from a compounding pharmacy I trust and pay a premium. I've heard some horror stories from overseas sources, like weird sediment issues and bad reactions at the injection spot. I inject IM, so that increases the risk if there's any contamination. But I also know someone who gets theirs from a different pharmacy and injects sub-q with no issues. When there's a discount, I stock up and get it for around $70 a vial.
 
I've tested the Lipo from one source and it came back okay. It's the one without B12, which is what I prefer. I've been using it for over a year now.

I've been hesitant to order peptides online. How do you know if you're getting the real deal? There are so many options on the web, it's hard to know who to trust.

That's the million dollar question. Some people send samples to labs for testing, but that costs money. Mostly it's about finding a source people have had positive experiences with.

Exactly. It's like, you read reviews, but who knows if those are real? It's a gamble!
 
Just found a new place that claims all their batches are tested in the lab. It's called Verified something-or-other. They even have vials that hold extra bac water so you don't need to transfer. I hate transferring stuff. Anyone ever heard of them?
 
I'd be wary of anything that sounds too good to be true. "Lab tested" can mean anything. And the lack of regulation is so frustrating. It really does feel like you're rolling the dice.

Are peptides even legal? I've heard you can only get some of them from compounding pharmacies with a prescription, like sermorelin.
Yeah, that's about right. Basically if it isn't from a compounding pharmacy, you're in a grey area. No real way to know what you are injecting.
 
Not sure what validation exists but you can definitely send to the wrong wallet. I tested with a small amount first before the bulk transfer. Vendor confirmed receipt. Networks are easy to mess up though.
