Research Chem shutdown

[Goodfella1988]

Yeah. Biggest factors I think were

1. Selling ment (obviously dumb given how in the limelight they are)

2. Selling GLP1s. We know big pharma wants to make money off these. And even with Reta, even though it’s not fda approved and on the pharmacy market yet, they are smart enough to know it’s a competitor.

3. They didn’t do SHIT to cover their ass as far as not for human use, research purposes only etc.
Hell they’re emails on products they sent out would tell you how to use it.

4. Their excessive social media presence with popular bodybuilders having codes and clearly using their products

All this while being right in the radar.

Meanwhile, guys like Mike who stay lowkey and are intelligent about where they keep their market have been around for years and will continue to be fine. AA got greedy, which was predictable from a company selling underdosed compounds and providing pass fail COAs in my opinion.

They basically were making too much money to give any fcks so it seems. Your 3rd point somes it all up.

Not long ago, I mentioned AA and said it wouldn't be long before they went down. Over the last 15 years, every single research chem company that plastered themselves all over the Net, made lots of noise, had a bunch of affiliates, and did other stupid things (like human use instructions/tutorials) have gone down. In my opinion, the less people talk about it, the better.

I noticed peptide sciences charged my card as grocery. Did CC companies become lax or what? Plus they have 100s of ads on Facebook Instagram etc. Just itching for a visit. Especially since they were caught selling tirzepatide labeled as retatrutide and severely underdosed or inert SLU-PP-332.

That’s just PS getting too lax. The merchant will eventually catch on and lock the account. Hopefully PS is smart and pulls back though with all the recent FDA crack downs for their own benefit.

I am also still waiting for their their third party independent testing for each batch prior to considering them again for anything after the Reta/Tirz mess.

As a Dane in can tell you that Novo Nordisk A/S is pushing hard for crackdowns on places selling copies of their GLP products and they are a big mover in that part.

Yup. I bet they were making AT LEAST 10 million a year in sales. I know what I make with barely any advertising (just two board sponsorships) and a single affiliate. So, when I see a company with endless numbers of affiliates (probably 100+; many of whom have big social media followings), while also doing a huge amount of social media advertising themselves, it seems to me that 10 million is a conservative number...and that's assuming their return on investment was considerably weaker than mine. I have an excellent return on investment, which is why I am assuming theirs was far lower, but if it was equal to mine, they would've made far more than that. At any rate, I very much doubt they were making less than 10 million a year, so they were probably fine with being shutdown by this point. The owner, whoever he is, already has enough money to transition his fortune into generational wealth.

Damn sorry to see. Maybe the new warning about Semiglutide and blindness has got them tightening the hold as well?

I knew this was going to happen once GLP-1s got popular.
Shit, even some of our HGH sources here started running out of stock because soccer moms were posting links to them on Facebook groups.

My local supplement store is selling GLPs, SARMs, Peptides, Enclomiphene, Tadalafil, BPC/TB.. everything you can think of. Right on the shelves next to Pre workouts and BCAAs. I thinking the other week.. man this shit it getting too popular when these sites are making deals bulk supplying to supplement store chains.

GLPs at a supplement store? That’s actually wild. Are they marketing them under some other name, or just straight up sema/tirz/reta?

At that point they just need to bring Epistane back.

Nope, straight up marketing all that stuff under their actual names. All the GLPs, Enclomiphene, all peptides, Tadalafil, everything. And they sell BAC water there too and will tell you how to do it. I see 50 year old women coming in and leaving with GLPs

It’s a pretty big chain that’s found all over the state of Georgia. I won’t post their name here, but they have a contract with two of these research sites to get wholesale products

Supplement stores, chiropractors, wellness centers and TRT clinics are offering and selling them now. They put up road and yard signs, blast it on IG and FB. Then you have middle man suppliers who are selling it to them. People have gotten way too lax with it all.

A local chiropractor here just got fined $12mil for selling research peptide chems, stem cells and a few other things. People have gotten way too lax and have to remember these are prescription medications.

Agreed it was likely them getting lazy with sending out batches. However, not cool imo how they REALLY wanted you to send a new vial for testing instead of your old one…

I mean considering the side effects of other things they sell I hardly think that was their concern here

And you know these soccer moms, Karen's and general public aren't going to live by the same bro code we true bodybuilders do if they run into a problem with a side effect or product issue they are going to complain and whine to anyone and everyone who will listen including LE, FDA etc...

Amino Asylum is already operating again under a different name lol. They will no longer carry any liquid Rx stuff…but all the “same peptides, aminos, sarms, nasal sprays and some nootropics”

They stated they have renamed their amino blends to different names as well.
