Hey everyone 👋 Since a lot of you are new here, I wanted to share how I got into peptides and why this community even exists. Peptides were never about vanity for me. I didn’t care about looking better — I just wanted to live a normal life again. After losing 70+ lbs (without GLPs or peptides), I found myself stuck in a constant battle with food noise and binge eating. For over 3 years it consumed me. Family gatherings, time with friends — all overshadowed by this struggle. And no one I talked to had answers. Out of desperation, I turned to GLPs after hearing about their appetite-suppressing effects. I went through Transcend first, spending over $1,000 on TZ-10 and bloodwork. It was worth it — for the first time, my brain flipped off that constant hunger. It was life-changing. But the reality hit me… how could I afford this long-term? That’s when I started researching. I spent hours comparing sites like Modern, Simple, Omegamino and more. People on TikTok started asking me for the best deals, and I realized others were wasting just as much time as me bouncing between sites and coupons. One Easter, stuck home instead of with my family, I decided enough was enough. I put my SWE skills to work and built peptideprice.store — a simple tool to compare prices and save time. That’s how this project (and eventually this community) was born. Since then, so much has happened — building the site, meeting all of you, and growing something bigger than I ever expected. This has always been a passion project, not “just another website.” I’ll never take this community for granted. Thank you for the support, the trust, and the experiences we share here. You’ve changed my life more than you know. ❤️ Much love, Derek

For anyone who is interested in full/complete testing of their peptides, @Max Radovanic and Mile High Compounds have recently added their first COA of many that test for Purity, Endotoxins and Heavy Metals. Thanks Max for going above and beyond the industry norm.

Ever notice little water droplets forming inside a vial? That’s condensation buildup — and when it comes to peptides, it’s not ideal. 🔹 What Causes It Condensation happens when a vial is moved between cold and warm environments. The temperature swing causes water vapor in the air to condense inside the vial. Since peptides are freeze-dried (lyophilized), they’re meant to stay completely dry until you add your own bacteriostatic or sterile water. 🔹 Why It’s a Problem - Can prematurely reconstitute small amounts of peptide. - Speeds up degradation and loss of potency. - Increases contamination risk if outside air sneaks in. 🔹 How to Avoid It ✅ Limit temperature swings — don’t constantly move vials in and out of cold storage. ✅ Let vials acclimate sealed to room temp before opening. ✅ Use desiccants (silica packs) in storage containers. ✅ Store consistently — fridge for short term, freezer only if long term. A little condensation once isn’t the end of the world, but repeated buildup can shorten shelf life and lower purity. Best move? Keep vials dry, sealed, and stable in temperature.

Anything else I should be using besides klow to heal injuries? I’ve had 2 hip labrum surgeries in the last year (one still bugs me) and recently left shoulder bursitis aka inflammation

I’m already pinning ghk cu but also want to give the topical a try. Anyone know of a legit source/s for it?
