Confirming test results

[krsct]

My order of reta came with a batch number and Jano certificate with same batch number. Do you trust that or send one vial on your own to confirm?

I don't re-test every time. But I have on occasion. Group testing is the way to go if you can find a group testing your exact vendor/product/cap color because you'll likely pay much less.

Test results are only there to make you feel better. They don't provide any actual value. Batch #, cap color, etc are a joke.

Personally I don't understand why people are so uptight about testing.

You are paying pennies per dose. The suppliers you are buying from are paying at least 3x less before mark up.

This stuff is sooooooo cheap to make that it would cost way more to make fakes!!!!

Yes, you will get under dosed a little or over dosed a little but at the end you are getting the compound you pay for.

Sending a single vial in for testing tells you nothing... The other 9 vials in the kit are 100% off from what you sent in.

Even testing 1 or 2 vials out of a kit is a crapshoot at best. We as the consumer are the only real oversight for quality control, and even then, if the vendor is planning an exit in the near future, they won't give a shit about quality anyway since there is no recourse or accountability.

What you say is true and in addition to that, not everyone can afford to pay an additional $200 per compound for testing after spending $XXX for the product itself, especially if they ordered several different ones. I'm sure some of the people trying to get healthy, likely spend all their "SPARE" money on GLP's, don't really have a lot to spare. I guess if one can afford it, it may give you slight peace of mind.

Filter and let 'er rip is what's I say!

Yeah, but I’m more interested in for example endotoxins. If there’s something off in the manufacturing process (or handling) testing is the only way to get to know about it.

The prevailing mentality is "pin it and find out"

First of all, endotoxin test is not part of normal testing and cost an additional $120.

You are sending in a single vial for testing that is not coming back... Your other 9 or so vials are not tested...

You are spending 200 on peptides then 200 for testing then 120 for endo test all for 1 vail which only gives you confidence for that 1 vial. Nothing more

If that makes you more confident then I'm with you but to me, buying gray is a risk I'm willing to take.
