I mentioned it this morning, but I just went through and did a full COA check on every single company listed on peptideprice.store. Took me about 4 hours to get through — but it's done. The good news: roughly 95% of products were fully in compliance with my 6-month COA freshness standard. A couple were creeping toward the 9-month mark, which I wasn't comfortable with. I'll be reaching out to those vendors over the next few days to either get retesting done or move to a new batch. Kudos to the vendors out there keeping it transparent. That matters. Now — a few things I want to address publicly, because accountability goes both ways: 1. Valor Customer Service Emails were getting responses, but it was inconsistent. Some days there was genuinely no customer service at all. I finally pushed on them directly, and they're bringing on a full-time customer service rep. Going forward, Valor will have support: - Monday–Friday: 8 AM – 8 PM - Saturday: 9 AM – 5 PM This is the standard you guys deserve. 2. Ascension Peptides As you know, Ascension is running their flash sale right now until their payment processor goes down. After that, the site will be shut off until they find a new processor. Here's what matters for the price tool: when Ascension is re-listed, only products with net content AND net purity on their COAs will be posted. They've had long enough working with MZBioLabs to get updated COAs on new batches. The old batches will not be listed. Ascension has had great customer service — no complaints there. But the bare minimum to be fair to every vendor is that net purity and net content are non-negotiable. That standard applies across the board, no exceptions. 3. Renova Peptides Customer Service They've been getting better at responding to emails. There was a stretch where customer service was essentially broken. I've made them directly aware that this is a priority — especially Monday through Friday — because you need to know what's going on with your orders.

You guys know by now — I'm a broken record about certificates of analysis and lot numbers. Today I want to show you exactly why. A situation just popped up where somebody was trying to verify a batch of semaglutide from Ion. The batch was old — back from September — before Ion joined the price tool. Before they came on, I made it a requirement that they batch test everything and apply lot numbers to their COAs. Before that, there were a bunch of people promoting them, but old batches didn't have any of those numbers. So this customer reaches out trying to verify their semaglutide. The problem? The number they had on the vial was from the manufacturer — not from Ion. There was no matching lot number to trace back to a specific COA. Luckily, I knew Ion had tested that batch. I went through and contacted Shay directly to track down the matching COA because I knew it existed — it was just hard to find without a proper lot number linking everything together. And good thing we found it. The sample was overfilled by over 10mg. Let that sink in for a second. You think you're researching with a 10mg vial of semaglutide, but you're actually working with 20+ mg. You reconstitute it the same way, draw up what you think is your research amount — and you're getting MORE THAN DOUBLE what you planned for. This is one of the biggest reasons people get wrecked with side effects from their research peptides and have no idea why. Nausea out of nowhere. Feeling terrible after a dose that was fine last time. Sides that don't match what the dose should be producing. A lot of the time, it's not the peptide — it's that nobody checked whether the vial was overfilled or underfilled. And without a COA tied to a specific lot number, you have no way of knowing. Overfill means you're dosing higher than you think. Underfill means you're dosing lower and wondering why nothing is working. Both are problems. Both are avoidable if you verify your COAs. This is your reminder: Always verify your COAs. Always check the actual peptide content — not just the purity percentage, but the net peptide weight. Always make sure the lot number on your vial matches the lot number on the COA. If there's no lot number, that's a red flag.

Good morning everyone. If you tried to use the price tool on PeptidePrice.store this morning, you probably saw a message saying hosting was temporarily disabled. I want to be fully transparent about what happened. My hosting provider — based overseas in Iceland — flagged the site and asked me to provide additional proof that I don't sell peptides directly. Which is crazy, because you know PeptidePrice.store is a price comparison tool. That's it. If you've been around for a while, this might sound familiar. A couple months ago Netlify completely took down the site and tried to hold the domain hostage over what they called "dangerous activity." That forced me to migrate everything to a new provider, which is the one that just gave me trouble again. The good news — the site is back live. I've already looked into additional hosting options to make sure we have backup plans in place so this doesn't keep disrupting things for you guys. Building a platform like this in the peptide space comes with challenges that most people never see. Censorship, deplatforming, hosting issues — it's a constant battle. But I'm not going anywhere. This community and this tool mean too much to me to let a hosting provider shut us down. Thank you for sticking with me through all these bumps along the way. It means more than you know. ❤️

I am on hrr along with the mitochondrial peps, had blood work this week with a high red blood count, can anyone chime in on this. I know it's not a totally peptide question, but I'm wondering what bearing trt has along with peps! Thanks

If you're thinking about stopping your GLP-1 for any reason—whether it's cost, you've hit your goal, or something else—please don't quit cold turkey. You've probably heard the claim that you will regain all the weight you lost when stopping a GLP-1, and it's simply not true. Here's why this matters and how to do it right. What's Actually Happening in Your Body GLP-1 peptides work by mimicking a natural hormone that tells your brain "you're full." Over time at higher doses, your body adapts to that level of signaling. When you suddenly remove it, your brain essentially goes from hearing a loud "stop eating" signal to near silence overnight. The result? Your hunger doesn't just return—it often comes back with a vengeance. This is why so many people regain weight rapidly after stopping abruptly. The Smart Approach: Titrate Down The same way you titrated up, titrate back down. Every 2-4 weeks, reduce your dose by roughly half OR drop by 1-2 mg (depending on what you're using). This gives your body time to recalibrate at each level. Example timeline: - Week 1-2: Full dose → Half dose - Week 3-4: Adjust to the new hunger level - Week 5-6: Half again or drop another 1-2 mg - Continue until you're at the lowest dose, then stop Why This Works At each step down, you'll feel a slight increase in hunger—but it's manageable. Your brain gets time to readjust to lower levels of satiety signaling gradually, rather than being thrown into the deep end. Think of it like slowly turning down the volume instead of hitting mute. Stack the Odds in Your Favor As you taper, support your body with lifestyle factors: - Protein first – Aim for 30-40g per meal. Protein is the most satiating macronutrient - Fiber up – Vegetables, legumes, and whole grains keep you fuller longer - Whole foods over processed – Less hyperpalatable foods = fewer cravings - Stay hydrated – Thirst often masquerades as hunger These habits matter MORE as your GLP-1 dose decreases. Build them now while you still have the appetite suppression working in your favor.
