Quick heads-up for anyone currently looking at Retatrutide. Southern Aminos is clearing out a 58 mg Retatrutide vial that doesn’t match their standard sizing. Because of that, they dropped the price to $195 before discounts. After the current sale plus code DEREK15, the final price comes out to $132.60. This is the cheapest price on singles right now. That works out to roughly $2.29 per milligram for a 58 mg vial If you’ve been price-watching Retatrutide, this may be worth a look while it’s still available.

We all know the feeling — you research and immediately go "yep, that one's spicy." 🌶️ These are the most common ones I hear about from the community and from my own experience. Some of these are just known for having that burn, especially certain blends and standalone compounds. Which of these sting the most for you? Drop a comment if I missed any — these are just the most common ones off the top of my head. Curious to see which ones hit the hardest for you guys. 👇

Short answer: No. Let me explain why. This post is for educational and research purposes only. This is not medical advice. This is one of the most common questions I get, and I totally understand the concern. You spend your hard-earned money on a peptide, you reconstitute it, administer it, and... nothing. No sting. No burn. Meanwhile someone else is posting about how theirs lit them up like a campfire. So what gives? Let's walk through what's actually happening here. Why GHK-Cu stings in the first place GHK-Cu is a copper peptide. That copper component gives the solution a slightly acidic pH, usually somewhere around 4.5 to 5.5 once reconstituted. Your body's tissues, specifically the fluid between your cells (called interstitial fluid), sit right around a pH of 7.4. That's slightly alkaline. So when a mildly acidic solution meets tissue that's slightly alkaline, the body notices. That mismatch is what creates the sting. It's essentially a mild chemical irritation, not damage, just nerve endings going "hey, that's different." Think of it like squeezing lemon juice on a paper cut. The lemon juice isn't destroying your hand. Your nerves are just reacting to the pH difference on exposed tissue. So why do some people feel nothing? This is where it gets interesting, and why you can't use sting as a quality check. Individual pH varies. Not everyone's tissue pH is identical. Things like hydration levels, what you've eaten recently, your body's acid-base balance, even how much you've been exercising that day can slightly shift your local tissue pH. A person who's very well hydrated might have tissue that buffers that acidity faster, meaning less sting. Administration site matters a lot. Subcutaneous tissue isn't the same everywhere on your body. Your lower belly has a different nerve density and blood supply than, say, your upper arm or your love handle area. More nerve endings in an area means more sensation. Better blood supply means the solution gets absorbed and buffered faster. Same peptide, same concentration, two totally different experiences depending on the site.

Sometimes life gets in the way of perfect sleep hygiene. Yesterday I wanted to squeeze in some more of Texas before heading back home to Denver, so I made my way over to Fort Worth to explore. Between some work, yapping, food, and sightseeing… I managed a solid 4.5 hours of sleep. But here's the thing — check out the screenshot below. A full hour of deep sleep, which is right around what I typically average even on a full night. That's the part that actually matters for recovery. Am I feeling 100%? Absolutely not. But I'm sitting at a solid 80%, which on less than 5 hours is pretty remarkable. The moral of the story: you're not always going to be able to control how much sleep you get. Life happens. Travel happens. But when you only have a few hours to work with, peptides can help you make the most of that window and optimize the sleep you DO get. I actually wrote about this exact topic — check out the post below for how to maximize shorter sleep windows 👇 🔗 If You Only Get 6 Hours of Sleep, Here's How to Make Them Count Also fair warning — I don't get back to Denver until 1am so tomorrow morning's posts might be slightly delayed 🤣

Hey everyone, just wanted to keep you in the loop on a few things happening this week. New Vendor Launch I have a new company preparing to go live on PeptidePrice this weekend. Shooting for Sunday, but if everything comes together in time, it could be as early as Saturday. Stay tuned. Valor Updates They just restocked a bunch of products and are finalizing the details on a sale. I should have the full info either tomorrow or Friday, so keep an eye out. They're also improving their nitrogen sealing process. For anyone who's had issues with water shooting out during reconstitution, they're sending me a package when I get back from Texas to show the differences. I'll share what I find. Heads Up for Tomorrow I'm flying to Texas for work and will be traveling most of the day, so responses might be a little slower than usual. But I promise there's some cool stuff coming over the next two weeks. As always, thanks for being a part of the community. I appreciate you guys more than you know!
