Are endotoxin tests usually worth it?

We have been seeing a lot of high endotoxin results recently and seeing that for a 70kg male they can take up to 350 EU per hour. That seems like a lot when even the recent test only showed 2300 EU in the entire vial. Just wondering if I'm missing something about endotoxin build up or something.

depends on if it’s something you’re injecting once weekly or daily or multiple times daily.

For things that you inject weekly and at low doses I imagine endo toxin risk is almost negligible.

exactly, I’d be concerned if it was something that I dosed daily or twice daily or if I had other peptides in my stack. Otherwise I wouldn’t be as concerned
 
Standards are slipping.

I think we shouldn’t be crazy, but we should still hold vendors to the highest standard possible, we are injecting this stuff after all.

yeah that makes sense. I suppose the EU per vial marker also is scarier or less scary depending on the mg of the vial. For a 60mg vial of Reta 1000 EU is less scary than a 10 mg vial.

At max dose, you'd be getting 1150 EU per injection. Seems pretty concerning to me

Yes that's where it becomes nerve racking.

In order for that to be okay by FDA standards, you would have to weigh over 500 pounds.
Don't think so, a 250 lb person can handle 568 eu per hour. Math may not be your friend?

Math and I are just fine, thank you.

A single injection of 1150 eu is significantly more than 568 eu per hour. You don't get to average that out over the course of a week. Any hour in which you receive >568 eu is in excess of FDA guidelines.

ok wise guy lets say 275 = 625 eu. Still not the 500 lbs you stated. Math skills are just that?

I don't really know what your problem is, but let's lay it out simply and figure out which one of us is making a mistake.

A single 30mg vial tested at 2306 eu.

A max dose of tirz is 15mg, or half the vial.

One single injection will have 1153 eu.

In order to figure out the size of person that could accommodate that load, we divide 1153 by 5 and get just over 230kg.

230 × 2.2 to get pounds. 506 pounds

So where did you get the 30 mg figure from? I just skimmed this thread and failed to find that?
 
How would anyone know that?? Also as mentioned split the dose. Problem solved!!!

I think what you mean is "I insulted people without fully grasping the problem, and I'm sorry for being a dick."
