This is why I loaded up. You could almost see it coming. I was reading on J5 the other day that he's had a bunch held back and his shippers had stuff seized. I have a couple GB I'll be waiting for, but that's likely 6-8 weeks away.
 
I always FOMO when I read stuff like this...but it's happening right now, not much I can do but place my orders and hope for the best. I have a 1-2 years worth of my favorites, but my goal is to have 5+ years on hand. So...just keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully enough will come through that FOMO will subside.
 
Nice write-up! We also can’t overlook the Strait of Hormuz being in lockdown or threatened to be in lockdown. I doubt pep products go through there often, but it’s an absolute chokepoint, which causes re-routing of everything else, which makes other shipping lanes overloaded, etc. etc.

I have that amount.

Wide open this morning due to a cease fire. Take a peak at the stock market if you're in it, or care.
 
I too have been trying to get ahead of the game. Next week I will purchase a two year supply of our most used peps. I have more than a years worth now, but can't hurt to get more. After that order I will continue purchasing the others that we use on occasion.

Yes. Historically, when there's been conflict in the Middle East, logistics change even when the strait is open. This is well established.

I have almost 8 years of tirz right now, and I quite literally have to force myself to not buy any more. I've been focusing on the newer (to me) peps like GHK-cu, KPV and TA1. Those I'm starting to stock up on as well as I only have 2 kits of each. There will always be something I can panic buy, apparently!

I'm a Reta only guy, it works for us, so that's what I stocking.
 
I got to 2 yrs supply plus odd-n-ends, and have been able to resist the urge to continue. Instead, I've just been upping my game on supplies (filtering, higher quality supplies/needles, storage, labelling, a proper sharps container, etc).

The general trend of peptides seems to be cheaper as time goes on. Plus, the advances being made in the field may make the stockpile obsolete before it all gets used up.

For example, the new pill/oral format, modifications to increase half-life and shelf-life, combined therapies. This industry is going to look vastly different in 2 years, never mind 8-10 yrs.

Sure is fun to hoard these, though!

I couldn’t agree more. Researchers are already cracking oral delivery and half-lives that stretch for weeks. So that freezer full of vials you’ve been babying? It could be the equivalent of stockpiling Blockbuster memberships right before Netflix launched. Why stress about injection schedules when the pill version might be sitting on a shelf in two years?

Well, I am down to 3 vials of sema so I just ordered 2 kits from a US supplier. That's about a 4 year supply for my diabetic husband. I have a year supply of tirz that I will use for myself. I will probably buy more tirz next payday. I also have a year supply of reta.

In case anyone is curious I am having a medical procedure next month so I had to discontinue all glp1s until then. Just going to start all over from the beginning with tirz. I'm not sure what I will do with the reta .. I am not all that impressed with it to be honest. 🤷‍♀️

Hopefully nothing to serious, best of luck!
