Vetted Vendors and Resources
Below is my current list of vetted vendors. I regularly review companies before adding them, and I only recommend sources that I've personally evaluated. You can always find the most up-to-date vendor list, along with current sales and promotions, at: https://hacksmithspeptalk.com/products Use code HACKSMITH whenever possible. It is generally the discount code that provides the maximum available savings at any given time. RUO Generally one of the best-priced sources available. Offers 7x testing on select products and carries a broad variety of compounds, including some that are difficult to find elsewhere. https://ruo.bio/?ref=hacksmith Atomik Labz Excellent overall selection, competitive pricing, frequent sales, and fast shipping. https://atomiklabz.com/aff/17/ During 25% off sales, use code HACKSMITH25. Peptira Great pricing, frequent promotions, and an easy ordering system for 3-packs, 5-packs, and 10-packs. Fast shipping and also ships to Canada. https://peptira.com/?ref=hacksmith Solution Peptides Sister company to Atomik Labz. Similar product quality, pricing, sales, and shipping experience. https://solutionpeptides.net/aff/34/ During 25% off sales, use code HACKSMITH25. AminoWell Good company with competitive pricing and a solid overall selection. https://aminowellusa.com/?ref=kcrqnltl Bulk Peptides Essentially the bulk (10-pack) version of RUO's product line. Among the best pricing available if you're purchasing in volume. Access Code: HACKSMITH https://bulkpeptides.com Strate Labs Winding down operations. Only a couple of products are still listed, so check stock before you count on it. https://stratelabs.com Limitless Biotech Probably the broadest selection available. Pricing tends to be higher than most competitors, but if you're looking for something uncommon, there's a good chance you'll find it here.

Group Rules
1. Be respectful. This one is straight forward and nobody is being disrespectful, but just always remember that. 2. No self-promotion, promotion of random products, etc. This is a paid group and the content should reflect that, vs. people getting random products, etc pushed on the page. Nobody is doing this currently, but for future knowledge. 3. No discussion of overseas vendors, group buys, groups, etc. No discussion of groups, my vendor, etc. This is a learning space and I have vendors I vet to ensure people have a quality place if they need them. I don't care if you go outside of them, but do it in silence. This is to prevent any issues, people getting scammed, and I don't want my groups, etc to be the place where that stems from. If you have a vendor, it's 99% of the time irrelevant to conversations. To be clear, posting companies is against group rules. 4. No sharing of outside charts, etc. without clearing it first. I'm not saying I'm the end all, be all of knowledge. But I have seen charts that are wrong, tell people that they need to be at max dosages within 4 months, etc. and I don't want knowledge that may not be accurate or have issues being shared with someone who doesn't know any better. If it checks out and looks legit, I have no issue with it being shared or even throwing it into the classroom. 5. Check the classroom topics before posting. This isn't to be rude, but just check because the answers may be in there. Too much of a flood of the same question can lower engagement from the group as it gets flooded with random questions that have been answered too many times. Only doing this to maximize group engagement and make it worth-while long term for the entirety of the group. 6. If for any reason someone ever finds there way in here and messages you some weird stuff, seems scammy, whatever, let me know in a DM and I will remove them from the group. It's paid so the likelihood is low, however a scammer would gladly pay $10/mo to make a few thousand off of unsuspecting people.
Starting Antibiotics, stop peptides?
I need to take some amoxicillin for 10 days, would you stop any peptides or just keep going? Any one here run into any issues mixing peps with any prescription meds?
Hair
I've been on a deep dive hair journey for about a year now and thought I'd share some of my research notes. Peps can "help", but doesn't "solve". Here's what you should know. First: why this is happening (common culprits) Hair growth is super sensitive. Even one thing being off can trigger shedding. Most common causes: · Hormonal shifts (perimenopause/menopause, low estrogen, thyroid issues) · Stress / illness / rapid weight loss → telogen effluvium (shedding 2–4 months later) · Low ferritin (iron storage) — even if “iron” is technically normal · Protein under-eating · GLP-1s / calorie restriction (hair is non-essential tissue) · Low vitamin D, zinc, B12 · Scalp inflammation or poor circulation · Androgen sensitivity (female pattern thinning) 👉 Important truth: hair shedding is often a lagging indicator — what you’re seeing now started weeks to months ago. What actually gets hair growing again (the non-BS version) Feed the follicle (this is non-negotiable) Hair is made of protein. Period. Targets: · Protein: ~0.8–1g per lb of goal body weight · Ferritin: ideal is 60–100 for hair (most labs say 15–20 is “normal” — it’s not for hair) · Vitamin D: 50–80 ng/mL Hair-critical nutrients: · Iron (only if ferritin is low) · Zinc (8–15 mg/day) · Biotin (2,500–5,000 mcg — helpful if deficient) · B12 · Omega-3s Fix the scalp (underrated but powerful) A tight, inflamed scalp = weak follicles. Do this 3–4x/week: · 5 minutes of scalp massage (seriously works) · Use a caffeine or rosemary oil scalp serum · Wash often enough — a dirty scalp worsens shedding 🧠 Studies show rosemary oil can be as effective as minoxidil over time (slower, but legit). Address hormones (this is huge) If your hair is fine, thinning at the part or temples, hormones are likely involved. Things that help: · Balance estrogen/progesterone (especially peri/menopause) · Reduce excess androgens (PCOS-like patterns) · Manage cortisol (stress literally pushes hair into shedding phase)

I forgot to store one vial not reconstituted in the freezer for a few months. Will it lose it’s effectiveness?
