Maybe previously discussed, but where is everyone buying their GLP-1s? Looking for safe online source.

Iāve been looking into this today. Many forum discussions suggest that you can get Semaglutide (Rybelsus) pills for a lower price from vendors in India, like Jagdish and Maulik. Since Iām in the UK, getting a prescription seems unlikely, making this my only viable option. From what I understand, other forms of GLP1s require refrigeration, which complicates sourcing them internationally. If anyone has more accurate info or corrections, Iād appreciate the input as Iām still exploring this myself

new LLM:
Based on the search results, the safest sources for obtaining retatrutide online, with testing showing it contains the right product, are:
-
Limitless Life: This vendor is highly recommended for sourcing retatrutide. They are known for their reputable research peptides and ensure the authenticity and quality of their supplements. Limitless Life tests each peptide batch through independent laboratories to guarantee its 99% purity and reliability.
-
TruPeptides: This vendor offers retatrutide with a guarantee of over 99% purity and third-party testing. Every batch is tested by two laboratories, and these Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are available through the vialās QR code.
-
Select Peptides: This vendor provides retatrutide that is 100% lab tested. They offer fast and free shipping on orders over $150 within the USA.
It is important to note that retatrutide is not currently approved as a prescription medication and is not available for general use in the U.S. or other countries. The peptide remains under clinical investigation for its potential applications in managing weight and type 2 diabetes, but it is not available for consumer purchase. At present, retatrutide can only be legally obtained by qualified researchers who are conducting authorized studies.
Is this LLM output? If so, please mark it as such. If Iām looking for recommendations from the community, the last thing I want is random, potentially inaccurate output from an LLM.

Because of legal reasons, Tirzepatide will soon be very hard to obtain other than brand name.
For help in sourcing GLP-1s, one of the best sources is StairwaytoGray telegram server: over 5000 people so a lot of chatter, but they keep a good vendor and testing list in the group.
Peppys is good as well but you need an invite. Talk with GoodKitty here for more info.

Interested to see if you found a source for GLP1s. Also in the UK and just started looking into this myself and would be far from being able to qualify for a prescription on the NHS. Thanks C
I have not found a source for injectables in the UK, but I havenāt done much research. There are dedicated GLP-1 forums and groups Iāve seen mentioned that would offer some good information. Oral semaglutide can be bought from India, but itās expensive. Let me know if you find a source that looks trustworthy.
This is a very impressive project, thanks!
One of the many risks one runs when buying from single vial resellers. And theyāre not the only ones. Avoid at all costs.

Short answer: no, Oasis doesnāt look āoff the stated amountā more often than the retatrutide circus at large. The whole marketās a carnival of overfills and underfills, with Oasis sitting in the middle row eating popcorn.
Hereās the boring evidence you actually wanted:
- Independent test hub Finnrick shows 7 Oasis retatrutide samples this year with quantity deltas from ā1.6% to +14.5% vs label; average score āB (Good).ā Examples: a 10 mg vial tested 9.98 mg (ā0.2%), and a 5 mg vial tested 5.72 mg (+14.5%). (Finnrick)
- Contrast: top-rated vendors also swing. Paradigm has mostly tight fills, but one 10 mg sample landed +15.2%; NextechLabs shows several double-digit overfills up to +26.3%. In other words, variance is not an Oasis-only hobby. (Finnrick)
- Across the whole database (590 tests, 81 vendors), Finnrick reports purity from ~89.7% to 100% and quantity divergence up to Ā±109% vs advertised. Itās a jungle. (Finnrick)
Why does label vs actual swing this much? Because the supply chainās held together with lab tape and vibes:
- Lyophilization and fill-weight error. Microgram-level weighing isnāt forgiving; moisture content, counter-ions, residual solvents and carrier excipients all nudge mass. Some vendors also deliberately overfill to hedge degradation and handling loss. (See vendor ā99% purityā claims and COA language; theyāre about purity, not accurate fill mass.) (myoasislabs.com)
- Batch heterogeneity and relabeling. Third-party resellers source from multiple manufacturers, then cap/label in-house; thatās how you get the same ā10 mgā showing 9.98 mg one week and 11.1 mg the next. The test tables above literally show these swings by batch and cap color. (Finnrick)
- Testing methodology mismatch. HPLC area% purity isnāt potency; LC-MS confirms identity, not quantity; true quant requires validated reference standards or amino-acid analysis. Differences in labs and methods push numbers around. (Peptide Test)
- Regulatory grayness. FDA has been firing warning letters at compounders and GLP-1 adjacent sellers, including ones offering retatrutide. Gray markets correlate with sloppy QA. None of that proves a specific vendor is bad; it explains the chaos. (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)
Bottom line with the least amount of suffering:
- Based on published third-party tests, Oasis is not an outlier for misfill on retatrutide; itās average-to-decent in a messy ecosystem where even the āAā vendors occasionally overshoot by double digits. (Finnrick)
- If you insist on navigating this minefield, use independent COAs that include identity (LC-MS), purity (HPLC), and quantitative assays, or send a vial for testing before trusting the label. Finnrick publishes vendor comparisons and accepts mail-in samples; there are also standalone peptide testing services. Yes, itās annoying. Yes, itās necessary. (Finnrick)
And just so weāre clear: regulators consider retail retatrutide products unapproved and misbranded right now. If someoneās promising pristine pharma-grade accuracy in this channel, theyāre selling dreams, not metrology. (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)
Here you go.

Iām helping a guy get healthier at the moment. His testosterone was miserably low so he is starting TRT and feels good but he needs to lose body fat and lower his hsCRP (itās insanely high it is disturbing.)
Would tirzepatide or retatrutide be a better option for him? I use tirzepatide personally and Iāve had great results.
What are the best things for lowering hsCRP?
Started him on fish oil AM and PM.
I imagine his liver health sucks (smokes and drinks) so started him on a cycle of TUDCA to begin this health improvement journey.
Encouraging him to drink and smoke less. Swap to gum over smoke.
GLP1s would help improve willpower and lower cravings and will aid in reducing or eliminating smoking and drinking.
He has started modest but consistent exercise. I gave him a verrrry basic and easy routine he can begin to add to.
Losing excess fat and cutting drinking/smoking are going to have far greater effects in lowering his CRP (and improving overall health) than any supplement. Since tirzepatide cuts weight and likely reduces cravings for alcohol/cigarettes, thatās what I would focus on if I were him.

This is true. Iām thinking tirzepatide is the better option over retatrutide; itās better studied, approved for human use and doesnāt have as many weird side effects being reported like increased heart rate or allodynia.

Iād throw my hat in the ring on this one.
I use what I sell, my family uses what I sell and I would not put them in jeopardy. My friends use what I sell and I have local clients that come to my office and have the opportunity to see how we operate.
90% of my business comes from referralās from happy clients. No influencers or potentially bogus COAās.
Iām the first to inject every batch we receive

In addition to TZ, LDN is something you might want to consider for him. It seems to be very individual, but it has killed a lot of my desire for food and wine, so much so, that I canāt always take Reta/TZ that I want to for potential brain health. Iāve read it can also potentially help with crp
Colchicine is another option to consider for crp.

LDN is a decent option. Tirz is more suited for him. Down the road when he wants something more LDN is an option. Iām currently trialling 1.5mg a night.

āAfter 52 weeks of treatment, the 5, 10, 15 mg TZP and iGlar groups resulted in -38.0%, -44.2%, -47.8%, and 0.6% changes in the concentration of hsCRP, respectively.ā
āTirzepatide treatment significantly lowers hsCRP in patients with T2D and increased CV risk versus baseline and iGlar. Substantially more participants shift to a lower hsCRP category when compared with insulin glargine.ā
