Do you test a smaller dose first?

[Moth08]

I'm in the process of tapering down on Tirz but I'm still on 12.5/wk right now. I'm about to start in on a kit from a vendor (X, it's been in the freezer a minute!) I haven't tried before. I have not tested this product myself (I understand this is not best practice; I have seen third party tests and am willing to rely on those). Is it smart/useful to test a smaller dose on the first use of product from a new vendor in case of any adverse effects, or is that just going to make it impossible to know about efficacy while not actually decreasing risk in any real way?

I usually give it to my wife first... and if she doesn't keel over. I do myself.

Just kidding...

I split my doses up to 2x per week anyway to dull the peaks and valleys of half life.

So in a way I do... but not for the reasons you are considering.

Send a vial to @raw_oyster_eater , if he’s still replying to posts a couple days after delivery - you’re good to go

Send half to Oyster and half to brent's wife. Check.

Is your wife still taking orders?

You got to get your own research spouse. Isn't that what RS stands for?

if you're talking about XCE I have a batching of Tirz 10 I got from them and its great, and it tested great so, its pretty much up to you and the risks you're willing to take!
