What’s The Difference

[PineappleParty 13938]

After the fall of QSC and Tuk last year, I started to doubt the quality of my stash. I cannot exactly match each kit to their COA. With my US supplier, each box has a batch number, easily matched to a COA, and a strong community around the name. I buy pre orders, and large doses. So far, so good. I suspect most US suppliers are just CN resellers, so the quality could be just as doubtful.

Been throwing out Tuk (ASC) and QSC when I see no vacuum or when the puck has visually changed. That 20% loss negates the CN bargain, IMO. Maybe I am anal, and only 10% had actually 'deteriorated'. Still a loss. In 2025, grey has become so much more visible that I do not want to be flagged/inspected by CBP each time I return from a trip abroad.

I had no medical conditions before my glp1 program. Then kidney stones, retinal detachment, recent TVL/nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), etc. Quality is first on my mind, CBP, and price is last.

Are you saying your injections caused those medical conditions? Why would you continue?

are you saying the GLP caused "kidney stones, retinal detachment, recent TVL/nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), etc" or did contamination from a grey product cause it?

My issues are at best anecdotal. Am told, just part of getting old. But if they are related, is it contamination or glp1? That is why am using Nex for now, based on their Telegram chats.

Kidney stones are linked to weight loss no matter the method. There is a whole lot of overlap between the vertical sleeve surgery I had and the use of GLP1 drugs. There are 4 things people losing weight should do.

1 - Get enough protein. (preserve muscle)

2 - Get enough fiber. (keep the bowels moving)

3 - Drink plenty of water. (Urinary tract health)

4 - Take a good multivitamin. (everything else)

Even living in the desert, I have had less desire to drink while on higher doses of tirz (10+ mg). Another reason I am on only 6 mg now.

You're concerned about contamination so you chose the vendor with the most documented cases of contamination? Maybe SRY is also in the running for that title. lol

So yes, you paid list price instead of waiting for a sale (which happens pretty much every few weeks)

For comparison I just got r60 for that price.

Dang. I need to pay you to find Reta for me. Ijust paid that for R30..

Don't forget the electrolytes!! Those essential minerals get thrown out of whack when taking GLP-1s. With the gastric emptying you can get fluid absorption imbalances. So you have to get more in the system.

Are you sure ? Wright loss, especially fast weight loss can cause gall stones, but my understanding of kidney health (I've had a transplant) is that weight loss decreases chance of kidney stones, unless there is calcium loss. I admit that now that I have one fully functioning kidney I don't keep up with the latest news.

There was a recent paper noting that there was an increased incidence of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy with GLP-1's but rare is rare. if I remember the numbers correctly, 0.02% in diabetics and 0.03% in diabeteics on GLP-1.
