    Testing product

    Is there a decent test kit for testing product. In order to test do I need to do test my own blood? Is there decent home tests for checking out if what I purchased is actually any good.

    Thanks

    Depending on what you are testing you can find many test kits everywhere... They easy to find

    The Test kits are useless. An HPLC mass spec report is about the only thing reliable which costs more to have done than the gear itself. If you don't trust your source then don't run the gear and find a better option in the future.

    Think about it this way. Let's say you have a 10mg Dianabol tablet. Well if you weighed that tablet it's total weight may be something like 50 grams (exanple). That means 99.8% of the tablet is filler ingredients, binding agents, preservatives, etc.

    A $20 kit bought online is not going to accurately discern a hormone whose concentration is 0.2% by volume.

    Regardless. 0.01g is a very small amount. I'm sure those kits work, but the accuracy has to be terrible when it comes to false-positives/negatives. Even with the proper equipment, the amount you need to accurately test it is much more than that (I forget the exact amount).
    If you don't have access to bloodwork, then I guess that's your best bet, but I still would question the results
