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.

Very concerning. I wonder if what I'm getting has any negative long term effects. Have been on MK for a few months now. I was just going to run it year round for anti aging benefits(along with cardio and weight weightlifting recovery). I am not surprised at all though. Big reason I went and still do go the herbal route for all my nootropic needs but then you still have to worry about true contents - correct % of bacosides, ginsosides, etc. And even heavy metal contamination. I guess a price comes with everything but still it would be wonderful for the industry as a whole to adapt moral standards and in depth testing and control systems in place- haha only if it was more profitable. I worry more about sarms and MK 677 just because side effects from impurities could be quite worrisome..though even with AAS you risk heavy mental contamination and the like. I was using very heavy doses of mucuna pruriens as a natural GH secretagogue and it did work somewhat nothing like mid high dose MK. What worries me is I dropped mk 677 2 weeks ago to dry up and I'm still having tingles in my hands and feet and slight water retention I'm hoping this is from the long half life but I figured the side effects would be gone but maybe it had a build up effect? No doubt I can see perm muscles gains from it tho. More solid back, thicker arms and most Importantly for me forearms wrists hands.

I wonder if what I'm getting has any negative long term effects.

Based on the reagents used in MK-677's synthesis, yes there certainly could be. A customer of ours wrote us saying that he tried another vendor's MK-677, and got migraine headaches for 15 hours from it. The solvents and precursors used in an MK-677 synth are pretty nasty.

Water retention is normal. Tingling is kind of strange. I would think it would have subsided in 2 weeks.
