The idea that stuff is "made in a basement" is the type of nonsense imagery you read in newspaper stories after a bust. Is there asbestos flying around your kitchen? There probably was not any in their kitchen either. You can`t see bacteria or even small amounts of spores BUT it is very doable to have clean glassware, both for making and vials for finished product. I think some UGL may get a bad rap when they skip critical steps in the process or they can`t do simple math and concentration is off.
Her nose is bleeding most likely because she resisted the officers entering the house. They had to a do a basic well check after gunshots were heard.
Not speaking about your lab (I believe you are affiliated with one and I like how you give us behind the scenes info on this forum which is much appreciated), but in general, I feel like the conditions most UGL operate would shock us. I remember when strango got busted, it was some guy and his mom, and he was a great source. I don't worry so much about sterility because it seems pretty simple to keep gear sterile as a million UGL are doing it, but more so proper dosing, legit raws being attained, not cutting it, and the high mg/ml stuff worries me, because I personally feel the reason so many guys have health problems is
1. Just having a ton of weight, 220plus lbs on a body meant to hold 180
2. the solvents and crap that UGL put in gear to make this high mg/ml nonsense that is not needed (who needs 500mg/ml eq, I wish my guy just made it 300 like back in the day it doesn't help me for him to pack 500mg in there).
I feel the solvents cause many health problems rather than the gear, that is assuming guys keep their blood pressure in check which typically doesn't happen in scenario number one (pushing the scale). Ive also read that some of the oils used can cause big time insulin insensitivity which is a big issue.
I also doubt some of the pics posted of "labs" over the years are legit, rather something off google. I've never seen a UGL post a pic of their "lab" with a pic of their label or gear In it. Not sayin't it hasn't been done, just haven't seen it, they all look like stock images. Im sure a few do have a professional setup, but the majority are nothin more than a house or apartment.
I do feel more confident that places that are based outside of the USA, closer to china mainly, having more of a professional operation. Some other thins I look for, pills, vs caps, vs. liquid (lol). I feel like any large scale operation can invest in a pill press, never used liquids myself, sure they work but the proper dosing worries me especially for clen which is in mcg.
Any input you have on UGL is much appreciated as I feel like its something that very few of us know about, we just go by word of mouth when it comes to selecting whose product we use.
