    How do I get gear tested?

    I’ve read a bunch about getting stuff tested before using. How do I go about getting some gear tested?

    There are kits out there that test what compound is in the mix, but they don’t test the concentration and I’m not sure how accurate they are. You basically mix like an mL of the gear with a few drops of whatever solution they give you, and then the mixture turns a certain color. Then you compare the color to a color graph and if it matches the color on the graph, it’s supposed to be legit. If not, it could be something else. The problem is that many of the steroids have similar color representations, so who knows.

    I’ve heard some people send their gear to be tested at specialized labs, outside of the country even, but nobody on here I know has done this. In my noob days I wanted to do the same thing, but I couldn’t find any place to get it tested, or it was extremely expensive and unrealistic to try.

    Few, besides dealers marketing counterfeit products to children, have incentive to test gear.

    Yeah, I've heard of people sending gear to be tested, but I've never met anyone (online or IRL) that has ever done that. It'd be cheaper just to run the gear and get bloodwork done while you're on it.

    I think if an online company is going through all the trouble to have a product to sell, create a website to display a product, a cart/payment processing system to sell a product, handle logistics for delivery, assume liability for potential seizures at customs, and resend confiscated orders, fake gear would be stupid and not worth the it in the scheme of things. Not only would it not be financially prudent, but would tarnish their reputation. Just wouldn't be worth it.

    Now maybe if you're buying from some guy making crap in his basement, that might be a different story.

    That's true in the US, but man, some of these non-US "UGLs" operate like a legit pharma operation. I'm not talking bath tub breweries here, I'm talking about labs like Euro and PharmaCom. There are likely others that I'm not familiar with, but either of those providers seem like they are just a little bit away from being able to be approved by the FDA. Not that that is always a good thing...

    I've bought the home kits to test it and I've sent mine to an overseas lab to be tested. I don't really trust the at home tests and I was unsure about the last set I tested so I sent it to an actual lab. Turned out that the gear was legit but the at home test was saying it was a different compound.

    They might be a big operation, but I'll bet you millions they still get their raw from the same places US domestic UGLs get their raws from. At the end of the day, there are some steroids that you can only get via UGL. And on top of that, pharma-brand gear has been faked many. many times over the years.

    What lab did you send it to for testing? If you don't mind sharing.

    I won't take that particular bet lol but I would bet that the big brands like the ones mentioned, Dragon, Odin, etc process in a more sterile facility and with better, safer practices than most private label ugls. If there weren't some value add, then nobody would ever pay 70 bucks for a vial of test instead of 35.

    Not saying all private labels are bad, or that you can't catch an infection from one of the named brands. Just betting product quality is more consistent with the bigger brands.
