My Monday number runs 3 to 4 lb over my Friday one no matter what I do, and it's almost always a salty takeout dinner, not fat. It drops bac…
Weekends are my tell. If I sleep under 6 hours two nights in a row, Monday fasting is 114-118; after solid sleep it's 104-108. I started log…
Water is my cheat code: if I'm dehydrated, my morning number looks 5-7 points worse.
Week 16, down 22 lb, resting HR down 8. I quit checking fasting every morning because it made me obsessive; now I log it three times a week …
A carb refeed did nothing for me the way people describe it. I ran a higher-carb day two weeks in a row, around 250g instead of my usual 120…
Honestly I'd skip the refeed first and just do the steps. Two thousand extra steps is maybe 80-100 calories, which sounds like nothing, but …
Labs improving is the real win here. I’d take that over a scale drop.
Pre-logging showed my “small” restaurant meals were 1,200 cal before drinks.
Honestly the 24.2% vs 28.7% thing is comparing two different rulers. Efficacy estimand strips out everyone who dropped out or stopped, so it…
Would love to see a current menu with prices and links to COAs per batch. If those check out, I might try a small order. If not, easy pass.
Before a dite break, check boring stuff: new meds, stress, alcohol, Friday pub fries. My plateau was two beers and fries weekly.
I'm 36M, week 10, down 14 lb and waist 37→34.5. Total T 590→605, SHBG 39→31. Following the SHBG/waist link here.
I worked on a site level for a bit and completion date is just the last visit, not database lock. We'd spend another 8-14 months querying an…
If shipping is 'fast' but tracking sits in label-created purgatory for a week, is it really fast?
I’m the opposite: lean stayed flat but fat loss stalled. Switched to tracking protein and sleep, and things moved again. The scale isn’t the…
Scale is a noisy roommate. Waist is the lease.
Light skeptic here: a COA is only as good as the lab and sample. Anyone verified batch numbers?
The 2.1% RRT 1.13 peak i sthe clue. If Lab B ignored peaks under 0.5%, that alone explains a chunk. What threshold did they use?
Whoosh goblin visited. Accept the gift, don’t marry it.
What's the ballpark price on their small vials compared to other vendors people mention here?
Every vendor thread eventually becomes a COA archaeology dig. I’ll bring snacks.
The hydration thing is real. I drank a ton before my first scan and had a weird 2.5 lb lean bump. Now I do same time, same clothes, no worko…
The trial arms were 5, 10, 15 mg, but the average curves hide individual stair-steps. I wish more people psoted 4-week rolling averages.
Restaurant week gets me too. I logged 1.5 lbs overnight after ramen and woke up puffy. Three days later it was gone. Noting salt, not panick…
Honestly the spread bugged me less once I noticed the dates — that completed 30-person one is from over a decade ago, way before anyone was …
Welcome. My HDL dipped too when trigs fell.
That tracks with my experience. My morning numbers actually went up weeks 3-5 before drifting down. Did yorus start low and then bounce?
I’m here for the lab reports and the gossip. Bonus points if the price list isn’t hidden behind a secret handshake and three emails.
Watching this. Mostly for the COA updates and to see if anyone actually gets tracking numbers.
Did you change training volume or carbs around day 12? Sore muscles hold water. For me lifting 3x keeps the scale flat for 10-14 days, then …
Sub-55 by fall? Ambitious. What's your weekly mileage now?
Prices look a bit high compared to similar vendors. Is there a current price list or any coupon codes, or is the site pricing the final word…
Primalpharm? Sounds like a gym for cavemen who lift rocks. Anyway, what’s their minimum order these days?
I came for the COAs and stayed for the suspense. This thread is cheaper than a streaming subscription.
Same thing happened to me around 20 lbs down. Scale froze 23 days, then dropped 3.8 lbs over four mornings.
The 2539-person trial ran to week 72, so week 34 is right in the messy middle. I would not read too much into an 8-week pause.
Do they include batch-specific COAs, or just a generic PDF? That’s usually my make-or-break.
Three weeks isn't a real plateau if the waist measurement and labs are still trending the right way. Sit tight, recheck in two weeks.
Week 9 was my plot twist too, but not bloodwork—it was my scale saying 20.8% body fat while a DEXA the same week said 17.2%, and my waist wa…
Monday: requested current catalog and price sheet. Tuesday: got a reply with minimums by category, plus a 3% card fee. No crypto. Shipping q…
I'm 41M and had a similar pattern. Lost 22 lb over five months, waist 40→35. Total T moved 580→595, but SHBG went 45→30. Fasting insulin wen…
Resting HR +6 is the part that caught my eye. My own tracking went +8 bpm the first month, then down to +3 by week 10. Did yours climb after…
Can someone who ordered ask for COAs for the exact batch? I want lot numbers, lab name, test date, and maybe a heavy metals panel. Do they s…
Prices look okay, but the minimum order is the real test. Anyone know if they waive it during promos or for returning customers?
**new_vendor_ned** Hey, Ned here. 41, I run a vending machine route — just bought a second truck, which is terrifying. Up at 4am, in and out…
I emailed Finnrick last week about batch-specific COAs. They sent a lot list but no independent verification link. Felt like a scavenger hun…
Did you include repeat labs? That’s what blew mine up.
That protein-at-breakfast idea above sounds boring, but it was the only change that moved my 12-week waist number. I was chasing 180 g daily…
47F for 90 min wouldn't bother me, but I'm not a lab. I'd be more worried about freeze-thaw cycles.
Hey everyone, Ned here. 47, work nights at a parts warehouse, two teenagers, and a wife who's convinced I've lost my mind. Spring is when I …
Curious what shipping timeline looks like to the West Coast? Also, do you send tracking automatically or only if asked?
Do they charge extra for cold shipping? That hidden fee always gets me. Also, what carrier do they use?
Prices seem a bit high compared to similar vendors. Any active coupon codes, or is the listed price the final one? Not trying to overpay for…
Do they ship internationally, and is tracking included? Also curious how often Peptide Protocol refreshes COAs. Not trying to chase a vendor…
I ran a similar check with 10 U-100 syringes and a 0.001 g scale. Drew 100 units of bac water, expelled until the plunger stopped, weighed r…
Mine did that too. A1c fell first, fasting lagged like 6 weeks. Are you waking at 4am or just CGM says so? Sleep apnea messes mine up.
Do they post current COAs with batch numbers, or just a generic PDF? I’d want HPLC and mass spec dates before considering.
Hi everyone. 52, mom of two grown kids, and I run a small bakery so my day starts at 4am and I've eaten standing up for twenty years. My doc…
$320 a month was my out-of-pocket after the cut, then maintenance got weird: insurance had covered the weight-loss phase but denied continua…
Hi all - I'm 52, drive a school bus, and finally have time to care about my knees and sleep. Found this place after my sister wouldn't stop …
My tracker logged three deadlift grunts as a mindfulness session, so my recovery score is basically fan fiction.
