The quality we initially got was insanely good (never got anything like it since, although found other decent sources for many years that were good enough). We then placed another larger order from the same peptide company again a few months later and what we got was useless. At which point a lot more local resellers started popping up with decent stuff so we just gave up and started using them. Now all the resellers seem to be selling the same lower quality stuff.
If anyone wants the name of the original Chinese peptide lab that had really high quality peptide the first time pm me (they are still around and are definitely capable if they want to be, not sure if they will sell to individuals anymore). I've been involved in contract manufacturing in china for other products and have learned that you really need to emphasis that top quality is what you are looking for, they will usually assume that western people looking to have something made in china are prioritizing lowest cost possible and will accept lower quality for the price savings. You have to really convince them that you want the highest quality product and when they say but this will cost x amount more, you agree to the higher price. Even then, in my experience, you still need a third party quality inspector to guarantee quality until you have established a working relationship. In terms of sourcing in china you also need to make sure you are actually dealing with the company directly and not some scam western facing middleman front pretending to be the credible manufacturing company. Because that is not uncommon.
For those complaining about tolerance, I'd say it almost certainly is due to lower quality peptide. There may be some degree of tolerance, but i seriously doubt that is enough to make a high quality mt2 totally ineffective with no side effects, especially when upping the dose. And then taking a few months off should reduce this tolerance effect if that was the major driver, and not poor quality. I've hardly used mt2 at all over the last 3 years yet all my old reseller sources are gone or lower quality now. Trying another old supplier now, to early to say but so far the low side effects even at higher doses make me think this is another low quality version.
Be great if we could get a group to order direct from a manufacturer and have it third party tested.
