Here is the study.
Tell me what you think.

One thing you should be aware of is that peptides (from my understanding) come in two salt forms: trifluoroacetate (TFA) and Acetate (-OAc). According to what's written here, the Acetate form is better for in vivo testing (in live cells, animals), while TFA in vivo can cause issues.
Ah ok. Well thank you for letting me know that. I'll try to get ahold of the acetate. If anyone else reading this knows more about this, please chime in, as I'm trying to get my order in ASAP.
Im aware of u/MisterYouAreSoDumb, extremely knowledgeable guy, always admired his comments/wisdom. Hopefully he sees this and can chime in.
I put in my company name and shipping info, and pepnet seems to be letting me put the the order through, as im on the last page where you choose shipping options and put in card info, unless they have some further verification process. They have a $25 handling fee and then expensive shipping on top of that, but still much cheaper than the first one you recommended.
What about bachem, the last link I posted, supposedly selling a g for $93? Do you know if they are legit, and if its TFA or Acetate? I don't really see that part listed, if I am looking at the right thing. Edit: they actually are domestic, and appear to be much cheaper
Thank you for all your help. And hopefully someone else can chime in soon. Going to place my order asap.

TFA as a counterion is fine, unless you are doing cell cultures or animal experiments where that reduced pH can screw with your experiment.
