“Sir, we’re preparing the release of GLP-4”

down to 33 licenses left. Insanely appreciative of all your guys’ support. Now we need 15 million something like that 10 million something like that 5 million something like that more users. You’ll have to use reptides for like this DECADE. Especially all the researchers that are younger like. Based out of a band down in Jacksonville.

If you downloaded the app and there’s small bugs connect to WiFi and completely exit it and wait a minute. There was an OTA update that went live and needs you to restart app.

Indeed it is. Download at the link below. Would love some ratings as well to boost our visibility. There is an update coming later today to fix the actual landing page in App Store. This was a beta landing page that wasn’t updated. the title is lowercase and the subtitle just says reference. Fix is deployed but needs review. Other than that the app is great. Would love everyone’s feedback on it. Part of the update also allows you to purchase via web for memberships. Right now we bumped memberships to $99 for lifetime through app and 9.99$ for monthly. This is because Apple takes 30% off the top of every purchase. If you buy via web your account transfers to the app. Download below!!! apps.apple.com/us/app/reptid…

One. Step. Closer. Just a matter of hours at this point.

There are now just 40 reptides licenses left... could be your last chance to get reptides access forever for only $79 and not a penny more. we are going to move into phase 2 of our expansion plan after these are sold. next week we have a big announcement with a partnership that is going to change testing as we know it. Come support us in building the future of peptides here: reptides.co/briefs

The US was probably tired of being switched back to Opus 😭

One of the hardest things to nail down is long form written content to not sound ai written. Ai tends to have this weird prose structure and when my brain detects it I almost puke in my mouth a little. It’s one of the biggest grievances I have with reptides. Because I’ll go on a long search about a topic and I’ll spend time with Claude back and forth revising my long dispatches and then it’ll come out sounding like AI. Our most recent dispatches have gotten better because I’m refining the engine that I use to write content but it’s not perfect. I’m confident we will be able to solve this problem soon though. Currently in the process of refining our writing engine to be very close to my actual writing voice. When the new engine is live I will rewrite all long form content on the site.

Just 43 left for life! Once they’re gone they’re gone!

Light mode is growing on me more and more…. It’s becoming my default app setting. What are your guys’ thoughts? Light or dark?

We are constantly making quality of life updates to reptides, and the screenshots below give you a taste of what the app will look like. The design language we’re building out here is user first. The goal is to make something that everyone can use and interact with. A tool to educate the people beyond X, who have no idea what each peptide is or does. We don’t want anyone to buy something without first cross referencing reptides. That’s how good we want to be. We’re a ways off from there but chipping away at the goal everyday. Instead of people constantly asking strangers on the internet for advice we want them to have a trusted place to go to in order to make a decision. That means hours of auditing, research, constant meetings with vendors, labs, people building out the legal infrastructure etc etc to make sure our data is not only accurate but also justifiable. This started off as a tier list that Claude and I built close to 2 months ago. It was full of errors and hallucinations and I got a ton of backlash but also surprisingly a lot of support for it. Now there are agentic workflows, audits, “loops”, reasoning cycles, and logic engines built into the site and app. That’s not to say we don’t make mistakes and our work is perfect. We do and things still fall through the cracks. But we truly and deeply care about providing education around such a deeply important topic to both 9th and myself. I basically locked myself in my room for the last 10 days and painstakingly reworked the entire website into an app. It’s not as easy as “hey Claude port this website into app form”. For an app to work it must have a more tactile feeling. Like a Swiss Army knife you open up and play around with. That’s what we were aiming for with reptides the app. When it’s released we hope to help the peptide community and beyond learn more about what we believe the future of this space is.

rory corleone... not sure there is anything left to say about @rorynotsorry that hasnt been said by anyone else. one of the godfathers of this space... and hes only been in RUO for ~8 months. before that he was on tiktok educating the masses about peptides. Anyone whos anyone in this space knows Rory... he is sort of an enigma in the peptidesphere. he goes on side quests to explore the hiddens secrets of the peptide underworld and hosts spaces with legitimate peptide journalists like Krysia to uncover its biggest gaps. Rory himself is a family man at heart, his daughters are involved with his business and outside of Crush he is a travelling field engineer. I was on a call with him last week and he was in the middle of Lima, Peru. talk about dedication to his craft. reptides.co/v/crush-research He was one of the OGs of this space to push transparent per batch testing and the industry has been following his lead since... its now a standard to test your vials for all the tests rory started with. He will be the first to tell you that his roots are blue collar and all he wants to do is to help educate people and help them have access to affordable, quality product. Weaknesses: only been around 8 months or so, discontinued worldwide shipping, sold out on drops frequently, ships 3-5 vial kits moved away from singles. these are all nit picks btw not huge deal breakers... 7.5/10 borders on S only because of short tenure. automatically placed into S at the 1 year mark if operations dont change.

I have to shoutout Carter and Isaac for building a telehealth platform that is compliant and is peptide forward. the future of this industry will be built on legal guard rails. not affiliated whatsoever with whoosh but have chatted with Carter and Isaac a few times. Genuinely good people looking to enter the peptide space legally and building the infrastructure to do so.

I was at the gym with my buddy last night and we got to talking about his reta experiment... He recently switched vendors, and said the new vial he got wasn't hitting the same. The appetite suppression, the energy, felt a bit weaker. And he's been titrating the dose UP (1.5-2mg a week), not down. So we pulled both COAs and took a look at what could be the issue. I figured the answer would be obvious…His first vial was probably overfilled, second underfilled. But here's what we found: Vial 1, the one he felt MORE from: - 99.8% pure - 10.82 mg of peptide Vial 2, the one he felt LESS from: - 99.90% pure - 12.65 mg of peptide The vial he felt LESS from had more peptide in it, and tested more pure. 10.82 against 12.65 is about 17% more in the new vial. Reconstitute both with the same water and draw the same units, and the new one is putting more into him per shot, not less. BUT anecdotally the new vial that felt weaker is the stronger one on paper. My first thought was "maybe the COA was fake". So I verified through the third party lab's site, and it checked out. So what is going on here? Both vials had "10mg" printed on the label. But that number on the vial is marketing, not the actual dose in most cases. The COAs told a different story: one vial was actually 10.82 mg of peptide, the other 12.65. Neither was 10mg EXACTLY. People dose according to the number on the vial and almost never pull up the COA to see what's really in there before they draw. Also those two numbers, purity and content, are not the same thing. Purity is how clean the peptide is. But it's a ratio, and that's about it. It says nothing about how much peptide is in the vial. Content is the one that's actually your dose. It's the real mg of peptide in there. That's the number to dose off of, but most people ignore this. And in the RUO space, more commonly than not, vials are going to be overfilled. So the vial itself probably wasn't the problem. But can we really rule it out for certain? I'm not sure. That COA tested one vial out of a batch of hundreds, and the one in his hand isn't guaranteed to match. What I think is really going on... He's six weeks in, dose climbing the whole way, and effect fading anyway. Most likely a tolerance issue. Reta in particular seems to hit hard early, then your receptors adapt and the same dose lands softer. This is actually a good thing in most cases as the negative side effects become less pronounced as well. Add in that he's leaner and deeper into the cut now, so a flat or rising dose can still feel like less. Am I sure it's tolerance? No. Maybe the peptide degraded somewhere between the test and his fridge. We don't know how it was stored on the vendor side or handled in transport. The two sheets were also run by two different labs, so the numbers might not line up perfectly. Maybe some of it's in his head. Probably a mix. I can't say anything for certain. A COA can be 100% real and still not explain what you feel. It tells you what was in one vial, out of a batch of hundreds, on the day it got tested. It can't tell you what your body will do with that vial, or a different vial, six weeks later. The lesson to be learned is: Read the full COA with a level of skepticism, not just the purity number everyone screenshots. At the end of the day, this is an unregulated market so from vial to vial you may feel different effects. Use that as a frame of reference while realizing a tolerance curve plays a factor in dosing as well. (Educational/research purposes only. Not medical advice.)

If you haven’t logged your research experience with peptides please do so at reptides - every 100 entries per peptide is weighed against the clinical and pre clinical data and aggregated to train the ask reptides and research lab model. Takes 3 mins to fill out! reptides.co/community-trials

Ask Reptides got a lot smarter... as we gear up for an app release we have pulled ask reptides out of beta and will be making it a part of reptides paid tools. you can still access it on the site until our app launches, then it will also become paid. Whats changed in the latest udpate: 1. It now gives you both sides of a dose question. (new) Ask "what dose of bpc-157" and you used to get a polite "we can't give a protocol." Now you get both anchors: what's officially studied or FDA-approved, and what the community actually reports using. And the reported numbers are real ones we verified. For you: you get the honest full picture, the official and the real-world research data. 2. It knows a lot more. We added answers for all 47 peptides across every kind of question, the comparisons people actually make, and the goals they actually have. In a 391-question test, it had an answer for every single one. 3. It answers what you actually meant. Ask if something works, and the follow-ups now offer the evidence, how it works, and what it's compared to, instead of three versions of the same question. 4. It pays attention to your stack. If you track peptides, the suggestions start with yours. Done without collecting any new data about you. 5. It tells you what people report, honestly. A whole new layer of real-world community experience, always labeled as experience (not proof), never giving medical advice. 6. It got more accurate. We ran a fact-check on the riskiest claims and caught real mistakes: a citation to a retracted study (pulled), and a peptide (AHK-Cu) listed with the wrong molecular weight (it had a different peptide's number). Fixed. All 47 FDA-approval statuses re-checked and confirmed current. 7. It learns from what it can't answer. When someone asks something we don't cover, it quietly notes the question (anonymously, just the question) so we know what to add next

Wooooaaaahhh, we're halfway there!!!! 50 lifetime licenses left up for grabs 👀

In doing research for both melanotan 1 and 2 I was surprised by my findings. Melanotan 2 does not have any direct causal evidence of melanoma. Both melanotans were created to actually protect against skin cancer. That was the original intent. However both melanotans increase mole size, color, and frequency of occurrence. There are a few cases of melanoma associated with melanotan 2 users but they were also tanning quite a bit or were predisposed genetically. One study found that a group of users were more likely to seek out the sun when exposed to mt2. Kinda weird. Also pt141 was derived from mt2, pretty cool. Personally I would not use mt2 as I’ve used it in the past and still have permanent discoloration of moles and freckles that never disappeared. Not worth the tan benefit as I tan pretty easily in the sun and never get moles or freckles from uv exposure. Not medical advice. Reporting on research.

Appreciate the love brotha. We will be showing up in person at more and more events this year let us know when you’re around.

I remember when this used to say “Made in the USA” good job to evolve peptides and the many other peptide vendors for changing their language to better reflect the actual manufacturing process of their peptides. No one has it all figured out yet, especially in this Wild West of a market. It’s good that we’re already moving away from “made in the USA language.” because none of these are made in the usa, they are finished in the USA. Next order of business is to have standardized testing for all vendors along with a way to verify each lot and batch is actually tied to a COA. And I’m not talking about QR codes which are fragile and falsifiable. Reptides has an announcement coming up very soon with a company that is shaping the future of the peptide testing space. Nothing like this exists for this market… yet.
