Question for MYASD
Original post in this thread

First off, I want to thank you for the time you've given me in the past when I had asked you questions via PM.
​
I finally bit the bullet back in December and ordered myself a large box of products from your company as a christmas gift to myself. I have been super impressed with my experimentation thus far.
​
After doing lots of lurking and seeing your posts here and in the nootropics reddit, I have also been impressed with your candid and open responses to others questions.
​
I am curious however, what is your own stack or go to products? I get the impression you've probably used a lot of the products you sell for yourself. What do you use and why? What are your favorite products?
​
Thanks!

Wow, thanks for your reply. In r/peptides they're generally regarded as one of the very few legit peptides pharmacies.. but based on the stuff you found it seems like not even they are doing it right.

Almost NOBODY is doing it right. I know it might seem like I use hyperbole a lot, but it is true. If I actually were to stumble upon someone doing it right, it would blow my mind! THAT'S how bad it is out there! Even very respected labs are doing things wrong. My team has had to correct some of the biggest labs out there on some things. It's fucking insane! Never in my life did I think things were like this when I started the company years ago. The deeper you dig, the more shit you find. It's an endless pit of BS, lies, and disappointment! Seriously... I would not have had to build my own damn lab if I could have found someone doing it right.
I was never in the analytical chemistry industry before this. I had never even been in an analytical testing lab. I had been in electronics labs, but never a chemistry lab. So a random dude that was a moderator for a nootropics forum on Reddit has to come along and change things?!? It's absolutely fucking crazy when you think about it! I should not have to be the one coming in and not only trying to fix it, but telling everyone how bad it is. People that have spent their lives in the lab industry should be the ones doing it! There is not a single lab out there that can test some of these things for us. NOT ONE! We've looked all over the world on some things. I would prefer a trusted lab partner on some of this shit, rather than spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new piece of equipment and hiring expensive PhD chemists to help me solve it. We have found a few really good trusted labs, but we can only use them for very specific things. Not one of them out there can do it all, or even a significant portion of what we need. So I have to take up the torch.
Don't get me wrong, I love doing it! A lack of something needed just means there is an opportunity to fill that void. I am very happy that I get to be a part of advancing that side of things. That's truly where my passion is. Solving some of these things in the lab is a VERY rewarding experience for me! Science is the pursuit of truth. I love that! You set out to find the truth, then design machines, systems, methods, and processes to prove it. Sometimes you prove what you expected. Other times you completely upend all your expectations. Either way, it doesn't matter. You are finding the truth. That's such a satisfyingly transparent mission that everyone can relate to. I love building complex systems around simplistic frameworks. The mission is simple. The process is complex. There' something really cool about that; and who doesn't want to know the truth?!? That's something I can convince everyone to care about. Sometimes we don't like the truth. Sometimes it is messy and disappointing, but the alternative is living a lie. Ignorance is only bliss if you never get burnt by the consequences of ignoring the reality of the situation.
