I just received my kits a couple months ago and have reconstituted a few. Starting KPV, Epitalon and Pinealon on Monday.

Besides sending a vial out for a $1200 test full spectral test, how people get their stuff tested for endotoxins, purity, heavy metals etc ?

I just believe in my gut that some sources are probably great and some are probably not. I would like to try and determine where mine stand without spending $1200 for each peptide!

Have you participated in group testing yet?

Group testing is the only way for me to afford it.
 
I don't. I just keep looking around at different place. If there's something bad, it usually gets posted somewhere. A few of the GB I recently bought from are doing endo along with the normal volume and purity. 99% sure they're using Jano.

I would highly recommend browsing the discord or telegram groups for the vendor you chose and find information about group testing specific to your batch.

There are more options than just Janosik. There are lower cost, quicker turnaround times from labs based in the US with good reputations. Freedom Diagnostics has been my go to recently, both in groups I’ve participated in, and one I am leading.

Most groups do purity + peptide ID verification + endotoxin. This might run $400-$500 US, and split between 10+ people the cost is very manageable.

Everyone’s risk tolerance is different, but again, highly recommend you test your sources. If you dig a bit more, you should be able to find a group. Or learn more about the process and lead one yourself.
 
I'm still new but.. my first plan is to just buy, store, check if any bad news are posted and then use 😶..

maybe i'm naive but i think ive seen 99% good news and 1% bad..

Yes, besides testing, you can use your gut to vet them if you want to make yourself feel better. Won't answer the question, but will make you feel good!
 
I look at vendor reviews, lab testing results, shipping issues and responsiveness to the customer. Every company might have a bad day once in a while but I look at the big picture of overall results.
