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.

Haha! It does sound pretty metal.
Also thanks for the response. Yeah, that unknown 3% could be worrisome. Really wish this Chinese labs would get it together, but to be honest, it is just a matter of time until this stuff is synthesized here and someone makes a killing selling it.
Thanks for testing this stuff and figuring out what is going on with it! Without you, it doesn't seem like anyone would ever know what they are taking.

My pleasure! I've been working really hard to get valid and reproducible HPLC methods for MK-677.
Most labs seem to kludge together methods to get the results they want to see. I've had the supplier tell us to just dilute our injection solution down by 3 to get better results. That just makes it look pure. It doesn't mean it is pure! We finally have very good and valid methods for MK-677 now, and can really know the purity. Even the lab IRC.bio sent off to said this batch was 100% pure. However, our more accurate methods showed that not to be the case. HPLC methods matter, and anyone can mess with the methods to make something look pure that isn't. It's scary to think just how much impure MK-677 has been sold since January.
