Quite a few people here are using them for their magnesium glycinate which ranked quite highly on labdoor. Might be worth watching this space to see if their formulations change.

/u/misteryouaresodumb do you mind elaborating? I got lgd and rad 140 and mk677 from other sources. I have heard of pro hormone and Sdrol tainted sarms. I also had impurities in a bottle of lgd but I emailed them and they said it was from replacing a seal in their flushing process - it was just dirt. I still used it. But hey I got a free bottle of MK out of it. If it was MK that was tainted Im curious too because I'm sure mine was legit. Tingling hands and feet, great sleep, gains, skin etc. I have a feeling the Chinese have/will find something to mimic real hgh for cheap and throw it on the market in tainted peptides. Either way Mk & lgd was way more anabolic than I anticipated.

Every single batch this year, from all the labs making MK-677, have been impure. I've tested a few of our competitor's MK-677 now as well, and those have all been impure too. One looks to actually be an unreacted synth as well. I would bet money the stuff you got was impure too. The main two labs making MK-677 right now, and who supply literally everyone you buy from, have been putting out shitty synths all year. The labs don't care, because the demand is so high. Our competitors do not test all their batches, and they know that if we reject it, they can just sell it to someone else. We've even had suppliers ask us to send a rejected batch directly to another vendor... after we rejected it for being impure! They just do not care about purity or safety. Sometimes it feels like nobody does.
Guess what an email we literally just got from one of our suppliers said? They said that we have been the only one of their customers that has been rejecting batches, and all the other vendors buying from them have been fine with the quality lately. Just think about that for a second. We are the only vendor using that supplier that is rejecting impure batches. The only one... This is a massive supplier, too. I know of at least 5 common vendors that use them, and yet they say we are the only ones rejecting their impure batches. Quality is a massive issue from China right now, and anyone that says otherwise is a liar or under-informed.
So a company being sold to a Chinese company does not automatically mean quality will drop. Also, I still use China for most of our synths, because they are much cheaper, faster, and easier to work with than other countries; even factoring in all the BS we have to deal with. However, anyone that is not testing every single batch coming from their suppliers is risking their customer's health. I've even gotten impure stuff from US suppliers. It happens with everyone. It just happens a lot more with China at the moment. Some will claim I am saying this to scare people into buying from us, but I really am not. This is the truth, and I am concerned for people's health. I am a customer in the community as well, and use these compounds myself. I too was using shitty untested vendors before I knew better. This is why it pisses me off so much.
