The core knowledge, in reading order. Five short guides covering everything a reader needs before spending a dollar — sourced from trial data and quality documents, not vendor marketing, and written to be read once and actually retained.
Vendor vetting, certificate checks, and the red flags that end the conversation — before any money moves.
What published protocols actually used — cadence, titration, and cycles as the studies ran them.
Bacteriostatic water math, storage, and getting every measurement right the first time.
What the trial curves say to expect, week by week — and when no-response means stop.
What the trials reported, what the gray-market quality layer adds, and the symptoms that end an experiment.
The numbering is the reading order. Read buying together with the COA guide before spending anything — most of the market's risk sits in the vial, not the molecule. Read dosing and reconstitution before opening a vial, and side effects before starting anything at all. Everything here is research and education, never medical advice — the fundamentals exist so the marketing has less room to work with.
