I need a peptide supplier in china for my business. looking for a long term vendor for the usa, canada, and australia. Ive already found good sources in this group after people recommended it to me but im looking for more options to weigh out the best one. i run a small business and i am tired of paying huge markups to middleman resellers. im trying to set up a long term relationship with a reliable manufacturer directly out of china. the main thing is i need a vendor who actually knows how to handle shipping to the us, canada, and australia without any major issues. i will be making regular bulk orders so i really just need someone consistent and communicative. let me know if you guys have a trusted wholesale contact you use.

had to pause for a couple weeks due to some personal stuff and the hunger came back faster than i expected. not overwhelming but noticeable, like the background noise crept back in. got back on and it settled down within about a week but it was a good reminder that the medication is doing more than i sometimes give it credit for. just something to keep in mind if you're thinking about taking a break.

The FDA just approved orforglipron back in April, and it's been available for a few weeks now, so I'm wondering if anyone in this sub has actually gotten their hands on it.

HIV lipodystrophy is this weird condition that affects up to 50% of people on long-term HIV meds. It causes fat loss in arms, legs, and face, but fat gain in belly, breasts, and upper back. Plus insulin resistance and bad cholesterol. Treatment options have been really limited.

After six months, average weight loss was 14.6%, ranging from 6-22% depending on the person. Waist circumference dropped by 8-12 centimeters on average. Triglycerides dropped 35%. Two patients reduced their blood pressure meds.

The drugs were well tolerated despite concerns about GI side effects in this population. No one stopped because of side effects. I don't have HIV myself but I have friends who do, and they've struggled with body changes from their meds. This seems like a hopeful signal even though it's a small study.

Novo Nordisk just released phase 1 results for their oral amycretin molecule. It's a combined amylin and GLP-1 agonist (like CagriSema but in a pill).

Weight loss: 13.0% at 12 weeks (oral) | Safety: Well-tolerated, mild GI events | Mechanism: Targets two different receptors (amylin + GLP-1) in one molecule

For comparison, oral semaglutide (Rybelsus/ Wegovy pill) took 64 weeks to achieve 13.6% weight loss. This is still early (phase 1), but the speed and magnitude are impressive. The amylin component might be doing something real.

It just seems way easier to run high test all year instead of constantly cycling on and off. I am not talking about TRT numbers, I mean sitting at 500 to 750 a week as a permanent baseline. If I just do my cardio, take heart supplements, and get bloodwork regularly, it is literally just two shots a week. Why do we constantly blast, come off, feel like absolute trash, and then start all over again? My plan right now is to just blast and cruise until I get the exact physique I want, and then maybe lower the dose to a normal TRT level to maintain it. I could just run high test most of the year and only go down to 200mg for a few months if I desperately need a break. I know it is not healthy and I have already accepted that risk, but I would rather fully commit to it and manage the damage instead of sitting in the middle pretending I am being safe.

My husband has started noticing a pattern. On shot day and the day after, I'm quieter, less spontaneous, more irritable. He's not wrong. I've been tracking my mood and realized that the mild constant nausea just makes me... withdrawn. I don't want to talk. I don't want to go out. I just want to sit still and not think about my stomach. The problem is, my family perceives this as me being "in a bad mood." I'm not mad. I just feel physically blah.
