Located a supplier and everything looks legit, with Janoshik COAs bearing their exact name.

Just putting in $120 for this order. I've gone a few weeks now without Reta and haven't been logging food, but I'm pretty sure I've been running calorie surpluses the whole time…

Going to make my first order, should I do it?​

Everything checks out.

This is an interesting subject.

That said, it's a bit vague, and getting solid answers will probably be tough.

If I were seeking the community's input on a purchase, I'd phrase the question this way:

I'm ready to take the plunge, but I want to make sure I haven't overlooked anything — is there anything else you'd verify before ordering?

This is where I stand right now:

  1. I confirmed the vendor's COA with Janos
  2. I'm buying a small quantity to test the waters
  3. What else should I do?
So beyond reviewing the vendor COA, what else checks out?
 
I've just placed my first order, and I'll be running a full round of testing as well. The testing will cost more than the order itself. Even so, I'd say it's worth it: my rat's health matters more to me than the ~1000 Euros for testing at Janoshik's.

All told, I got 50 vials. I read somewhere on this board that a standard testing regimen calls for 1 out of 50 vials to be tested. That's exactly what I'll do. The vendor is one of the premium sponsors on this site
 
I’ve noticed that a number of grey market suppliers are now taking down their certificate of analysis documents, apparently because the Agency has threatened them over inaccuracies. Is anyone else seeing this?

Only ordering $120 this time, been without Reta for a few weeks now and haven’t been tracking food but I’m certain I’ve been in calorie surpluses throughout…

No, and I've just placed orders with 3 groups that were new to me, based on tips from friends.

Honestly it comes down to the deal — what mg amount does $120 get you?
