Hidden costs

I want to echo the support for a label printer. It is incredibly easy to mix up clear vials of liquid, and a label allows you to quickly identify your peptides, note the mg/mL concentration, and include the recommended dose. If you are titrating up or experimenting with a new BAC water-to-powder ratio, things can get confusing fast without clearly marked bottles. A label printer is inexpensive, simple to use, and a small investment for the level of safety and organization it provides."

Exactly. I don't know if my new stuff raw is labeled. I will label if not, and a date when it's reconstituted. I do a spread sheet that's way more for accurate tracking what I have going on. That's just how I do it.

So I'm getting to that point where I'm almost ready to make my first purchase from one of the many chinese suppliers.

Before I do, are there any hidden costs I haven't considered yet? Obviously there is the cost of the medication, plus an obvious charge for shipping.

Am I gonna find there are any additional hidden costs?

Do coinbase you’ll save yourself alot of money in fees!

You will get caught up in feeling great joy on your first peptide arrivals and then you will want to buy more. The more you research the more you will buy. I’ve got about 4 years worth of peptides sitting in my freezer plus a huge box of needles/syringes/bac water/wipes/ and the list goes on. Now I’m looking into buying direct from the labs/factories in china think i need to find a hobby which doesn’t include peptides
Right there with you!!!
 
Hidden costs of peptides (for me)

Mini Fridge for my current stacks

Mini Freezer for future stacks

Purchasing more crypto than I need so I can purchase more peptides than I need

Purchasing peptides I "think" I may want to research in the future

Feeling like there is an impending doom to the supply chain and stocking up for a peptide apocalypse.

Friends who look at me weird when I say things like BPC or NAD+ and think I will drop dead at any time.

Spending an inordinate amount of time researching and studying all things peptide, basically dusted off an old biology degree and became a full blown peptide geek

So hidden costs, yeah there are many....but I love them all.

Are we related by chance? 😆 When I think I want to "try" something, I buy 2 kits, in case it works. When I think it really will work, I buy at least 2 kits, not counting Reta. I won't say how much I have of that. And I haven't read for pleasure in months. Peptide research is my pleasure.

I may or may not have an addiction. I'm not quite ready to stand up and say "Hi, my name is FGR, I am a peptide addict"...but pretty damn close.

It just trips all my triggers, learning, researching and buying.

I'm weird, but I even find those little vials cute and now I decorate them with my niimbot.

If you have fallen down this money pit of fun, we may indeed be related! 😆

Addiction, virus or whatever, I believe I caught it. 🤣 I have two new kits incoming Wednesday, four in about two weeks or so and still have two months supply for my wife and I. All different sizes except two 30's. All Reta. Oh yeah, 5-30ml BAC. Just got two boxes of syringes, a .05 and 1ml 31G, both BD. I want to but more, but don't need it at, unless there's a sale.
 
Hidden costs?

Label maker - the kit boxes are marked with pep and mg. When CoA comes back I add mass and purity info label to the kit box. Depending on the mass, I may need to adjust dosing.

When I take them out of the case, I label the vial because I suffer from age-induced CRS. I also may have been known to confuse vials of clear liquid on my filtering tray and toss the wrong one. Labeled vials get tested mass if it will make a difference in dosing.

Cases - I keep kit boxes in larger opaque boxes in the freezer. An in-use 30ml Hospira in a single 30ml vial case. An opaque in-use 3ml vial refrigerator case for the current peps.

I picked up an inexpensive ss tray for recon and filtering. Non-porous.

Time - I spend a ridiculous amount of time reading about peps and ancillaries.

Don't do it. It's NAD+ 2x a week for fourteen weeks. (25 mg each day for the first two weeks, then 50mg for weeks 3 and 4, then 100mg for the rest). On the third week, add SS-31, 4mg per day, every day, for six weeks. Then for the last six weeks, switch to MOTS-C 2x per week. (I don't remember the dosage cause I'm not there yet).

Supposedly the SS-31 gets your mitochondria ready to be heeeeeeealed by JEE-zus. Then the MOTS-C HEEEEEEEEEALS your mitochondria, by JEE-zus. And the NAD+ provides something or other that the mitochondria needs to do something, f if I remember what. I'm firmly unconvinced my mitochondria are even broken, but I'm doing it anyway.

If you search "mitochondria," a bunch of people keep posting a pdf with the protocol and a hundred scholarly articles that supposedly prove while it works. I don't know if they do or not, cause I didn't read them. What am I even doing here, man, I need to do other hobbies.
Best protocol description ever!! 😂😂😂

I have also discovered Etsy. So many really cool peptide cases and accessories. I am almost embarrassed to say that I have bought a cartridge station shaped like a dragon egg 🤦‍♀️

I am also awaiting delivery of my niimbot with all the things, including different color printing ribbons......Omg somebody stop me
 
The more you go deep the more you learn

Pep storage’s , label maker and most important testing , group buys can save you some chunks and group test can save you some testing fees , also if cost is the factor you can check promos and order
