I can’t speak on them, what I can speak on is that a massive amount of sources were caught underdosing and faking gear when the forum and its members got serious about testing gear. Made a lot of them disappear and maybe made a few who thought about stretching their profit a bit possibly think twice..
But that hasn’t been done in years and I would imagine some sources have gotten brave again.
And I’m not saying QSC is doing this, I have zero experience with them, but it’s not that hard to grab an image of one of Jano’s Tests and photoshop it to say whatever you want on there. I can make one in 2 minutes that says my test is 1,000,000mg/ml
If it’s been randomly tested by members that you know for a fact have zero affiliation, that’s great. But that’s usually not the case, it’s the sources posting their test results.
I’ve gotten blood work on 2 sources that had tests for days and my blood work did not reflect that.. Had a buddy using one of the same sources who had high levels, I told him what happened, he grabbed another bottle out of the same batch, waited a few weeks and tested at the same dose, his levels went down like 35%..
So at the very least, some of these sources are absolutely inconsistent with their products or labeling.. Which is still absolutely unacceptable. You have one job, do it right..
But this nonsense about “everyone responds differently” needs to end and I’ll call it out every time I see it. I hate scammers.
What I have found to work with sources who I’ve tested and gotten excellent blood levels is;
Usually the ones doing massive advertising, sales and constantly showing tests, are hiding something..
It’s the quiet ones, with some solid reviews, and random testing (both blood and Jano) done by “nobody” or unaffiliated members that are the bangers that do it right..
