Epistane testing results

[1Fast400]

is it possible the same substance can degrade to both 288 and 270 respectively? or that different testing pocesses can degrade the product to either one of these values?

Everyone I have spoken to, that I trust with a chemisty background can't justify this compound having a MW of 270. There is a VERY logical explanation for how it ends up at 288, which both havoc and SFR's product did. That is why I asked very clearly to D:

How can your product have a MW of 270 and be the correct active?

 

[PumpingIron]

Just looking at the amount of members reading this thread. I don't think it would be wise for parties of either side of this issue to just get up and leave.

If anyone from either side decided to do that, it would be more of an admission of guilt by the entire company. Atleast that is how a normal consumer would comprehend it. And as your average consumer...I have to say

THANK YOU MIKE!!!

 

[tattoopierced1]

kinda makes you wonder...however it does do what it says it does, so I wonder what it could be....

 

[PumpingIron]

Anyone know of a substance with a 270 mw that could cause these effects?

Seeing posts like this make me want to bash my head against a wall.

but it doesnt really prove anything, it disproves their claims to what it is, but it doesnt prove what is in it.

and many may see Dr. D leaving from religious attacks as a "cop out" but alot of people take their religion very seriously (not me, but i know alot of people who do), and if you see this one instance and him saying hes leaving, yeah, it looks like a copout, but with recent events and people bashing him, id say it was more of a straw that broke the camels back type of deal for him.

furthermore (saying that makes me seem smart) i dont see how RPN (or representatives there of) proving that Epistane has half the claimed ammount of actives in it is good for Havoc, from the logs i have been reading, both seem to be on par with results, so basically you are proving that an "impure" product with half the actives in comparison to Havoc, is just as good?

from a business stand point, neither company should have said anything in the first place and just held out their hands for consumers money.

i get youre trying to help (hopefully) but these threads over the past few days havent had civil arguments in them, it has been more bashing of a member, and constant prodding for answers.

again, i would really hate to see Dr. D's PM box.

give him some time, he will most likely come back and speak about this some more, hopefully before the thread reaches 30 pages and gets locked.

 

[warnerve]

RPN hasn't made any claims about epistane from what I have seen. I apologize if I am wrong

RPN, and my representatives, have said VERY little during this whole situation - for good reason. RPN did no such thing as prove anything about anything...we were simply making a product that is what it claims to be on the label and selling it. Look at who was attacked first, and by whom, and how the eventual testing results ended up..then you make your decision based on that.

Once again, I will let my attorneys discuss the matters of tort violations, unfair business practices, and libelous remarks. Those parties that contacted distributors with false and misleading information in attempts to discredit my company will have plenty of opportunity and a nice, oath-sworn chance to explain themselves.

And now, I will go back to shutting up and letting fools speak when they should have never spoken in the first place.

 

[charger71]

nobody seems to be wondering WHY DO PEOPLE STILL GET GAINS AND HAVE GREAT SUCCESS WITH GYNO REDUCTION!? if its not what it claims to be then what the hell else out there can reduce gyno and deliver great strength gains?

 

[Chemist2234]

OK, I see quite a few problems with this test.

1.) Why even bother to test it when you have no standard. You say the standard is 288? Have you shown us some documentation showing that the peak ion for this compound is 288?

2.) D's previous explanation of the fragmentation in the GC/MS is legit taking into account that the actual weight of the compound is much higher that 270 peak.

3.) This could all be solved if a company was hired to synthesize epi in house then develop a standard for the RT as well Mass Spec.

4.) All this bickering is pointless. your comparing one test to someone else's word about what it should be. Id personally like to see the GC/MS data for havoc rather than take someones word for it.


Can we see the tests on havoc and SFR's product??

oh i know, RPN has been the quietest in this whole debacle, and maybe "representatives" was the wrong word, i meant it as in "people who seems to be speaking on behalf of" or "people who seem to have an inside link to the company"

yes, RPN has been the most professional about this, and IBE did "strike first" but judging by the messageboard talk, Epistane is being trashed by people way more than Havoc is.

and now ill admit, it is justified due to these tests and this mysterious compound, but these results were just posted, and the bad mouthing has been going on for 2-3 weeks now, usually when you talk bad about a product (speaking of people on messageboards) you have evidence or some kind of lincling first, and then you make your claims, not the other way around, which is how this happened.

and i have no "side" in this, im just saying in terms of people who have came out attacking IBE and their product, vs the people attacking RPN and Havoc, IBE has alot more people that seem to hate them in this, and the people speaking on behalf of IBE to these people who are bad mouthing them, seems to be reasonable, intelligent, and non-flammatory in their responses, as opposed to the ones accusing them of said things.

again, it is no fault of either company, im just talking about the events on the internet that have transpired in the last few weeks, whether or not actual reps from companies were involved, there was alot of hate for companies, and that spilled over to hate for individuals representing said companies, when it really shouldnt have.

 

[whitedevil74]

Oh please poor Dr.D. The way people apologize for him because of his vocal profession of his christianity is just amazing. The fact of the matter is that:

(1) epistane does not meet label claims as to the amount of the claimed active ingredient. claim 10mg actual amount of active is 3.2mg. Way underdosed

(2) Epistane is not what it claims to be.

How can you defend a company that lies to you and then hides behind its religion. IBE and Dr.D have committed a serious criminal offense if they knowingly did this. It is one thing to take a risk ingesting a substance if you know what you are ingesting. It is a crime to tell the consumer you are getting one thing and giving you another.

I do not care if it works or not, you do not know what this substance is, there is no way to justify this disgusting behavior. What is wrong with you people. It is almost like you are eager to be scammed and have your health placed at risk.

 

[jomi822]

from a business stand point, neither company should have said anything in the first place and just held out their hands for consumers money.

it doesnt bother you that these products might not contain what they say they do? and in the incorrect doses?

i wholeheartedly disagree. it would be a very dangerous situation if consumers did not care what these companies are selling their customers.

yes, the products deliver similiar results, yes that is good.

at least one of these products doesnt contain what it says it does. it is a trust issue. do you really trust a company that lies about it product label with preparing a safe and effective substance for you?

i do not. quality is extremely important, as is trust in this market. repuation is everything.

I agree, as a consumer I have no personal stake in either company so it makes no difference to me. Personally I just want the truth about the products I'm using or may use in future. So far it seems like the truth hasn't come out but we're getting close. I've been following these threads since the beginning and while I've supported IBE with my purchases in the past, all I've seen thus far is unprofessional behavior and evasion when confronted with anything. Obviously both products "work" based on everything I've seen from logs, but thats not the issue here. I also do agree that some people went overboard with attacking IBE elsewhere, but again that is not the issue.

and now that the test results are out in the open, Dr. D bails? Guess who the burden of proof is on now?

He bailed because people were attacking him PERSONALLY! maybe if you actually read the thread you would see that they were attacking his religion! THAT ISN'T COOL ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!

if you guys are gonna "debate" (not that i would even come close to saying it is one) then do it correctly and without PERSONAL ATTACKS!

RPN (dsade) has behaved reputably thus far and Dr. D has behaved reputably thus far! looks to me like "others" have not.................

guys the whole point of this thread was to talk about the companies in general. The minute everyone starts making personal attacks and statements about religion it crosses the line. There is no place for it on the board!
I applaud RPN for the mature way they have delt with this entire soap opera, and Dr. D for keeping his wits about himself while being personally attacked. I too like to get out the truth, but i think a public forum is not the place for it.
best of luck to both sides,
john

 

[evan]

I would like to know if these Compounds are different, as while havoC did give me results, i got no gyno reduCtion. If the IBE is diff then the rpn i would be intrested in trying their produCt. I'm not sidin with either Company as both prooduCts are yeilding results, but if they are really two diff Compounds i would like to give epi a try. Has anyone used both as i said i tried havoC and it yeilded appreCiable results, unfortunatley gyno reduCtion was not one of them

 

[Nabeshin]

So what? If IBE doesn't clear up this mess, they are done. You figure they'd be able to overlook the loud mouthed Australopithecus among us in order to stay in business.

That somebody hurt Dr. D's feelings is not my concern. That IBE defrauded me is. I don't care how sacrilegious the conduct of a few board members is, IBE is obligated to tell us what we've actually been putting in our bodies.

[aspire210]

I'm still confused. Lets just say that there are two suppliers in china producing this stuff. One of them gets it right, one gets it wrong. Well without a reference standard, how are we to know which it is? We can't test it, since we don't even know what the properties of a the real compound are.

There is no way that the MW is actually 288 without degradation, since that is the same as testosterone and this is a methylated compound. Maybe the base weighs that, but I can't see how the complete compound would.

From what I have read people seem to get gyno reduction far more with Epistane than with Havoc.

As far as I am concerned this test means nothing really. As stated before we can't obtain a sample that we KNOW is 100% pure, so how can we guess which is right? As far as well all know neither is the real compound. The results are there though, like it or not this stuff is doing something. Blood tests have revealed no one is in real danger from using these either. Maybe we should be happy about that. Everyone *****s that we should know whats in it, you don't know whats in most of the stuff you consume on a daily basis. You can read the label, but you never know is some how there was some cross contamination. Bet that salmonella wasn't on the label for your peanut butter last month. Same goes with the "real" stuff. You have to go on word of mouth and blind faith. You don't like not knowing exactly what is in everything you consume, you better move to the woods and hunt for all your food from here on out. That or believe what 100's of people have posted about a compound working, maybe they're all shills though? Paranoid much?

Finally, how can anyone really trust PA in this matter? Hes a cool guy and all, but seriously, doesn't anyone remember why he was banned from this VERY board? He's had a bone to pick with IBE for years, hes feeding off the paranoia that has ensued.

The same way you can calculate the expected MW of dihydrogen monoxide without having any on hand.

I'm amazed at all the IBE apologia. Forget everything except for the numbers --- the numbers are all that matter. Epistane should have a measured MW of 288, and it doesn't. IBE needs to explain why.

All other points are moot until that is resolved.

 

[evan]

aspire, I Couldn't agree more with what you just said

It Could even be a positive thing if these are two diff produCts

maybe we have two exCellent Compounds floatin around,

I like to beleive the best in people and neither of these Companies have rubbed me the wrong way, atleast from a personal standpoint

 

[aspire210]

Exactly why should epistane measured at a MW of 288? Maybe I'm lost but since we can't obtain a pure, real sample how do we know this? I also don't get how a methylated steroid could weigh that little.

 

[ShakesAllDay]

I don't believe all the, "who cares what's in it - it works" talk!

Might I remind the jury that the question is not whether it *works* or not, but rather what is in the capsules is what is stated on the label. I don't like liars, cheats, or thieves... aka dishonest people. So, if I buy a product, I EXPECT it to contain what it says in black and white on the side of the bottle.

Edit: It's bad enough if it was just an oversight or lack of QC, but MUCH worse if they were intentionally misleading.

Well how do we know who is to blame? If we can't get a pure sample then how can we even test the raws? I doubt anyone intentionally mislead here, its more likely a plant in china said they could make the stuff but didn't do a great job.

Also, I would bet that if you tested every product, supplement or otherwise, that it wouldn't contain exactly what was listed on the label. Do you go to your grocery store and complain about this? Or do you go "hmm that was some good chicken" and go on with your life? I mean, do you even know whats in the meats you eat? If you think us juicers are endocrine experiments, then you should take a good long look at the hormone therapy used on live stock. Do you enjoy all that estrogen that's in that chicken breast?

 

[evan]

Personally i would like to see the effeCts(blood Chem) on the human body of one produCt vs the other, i dont Care what it was intended to be or even if the real Compound in the bottle is "extraCt of a dirty hooker". If the Compound is safe and works that is all i Care about and that is how i would like to make my ChoiCe

To quote PA (who, regardless of how you like him, knows his chem):

yes the results for havoc show that the stuff contains a compuond that has a MW of 288. 288 is the correct MW for the methylepistanol (it desulfurizes in the injection port to give 288)

This was posted earlier in this thread. And in case anybody here doesn't know, you can calculate what the raw MW should be just by the chemical structure alone.

How is it a positive thing when a company is defrauding people, and lying about what they are putting in their product. Customers purchased this product believing that it was one substance and recieved another (God knows what) type of substance. It does not matter if it is effective or not, this is a matter of ethics.

So what if somebody attacked PhatDaddy (I will never refer to him as a doctor because he is not) or his religion. He lied and deceived people for his own benefit and hides behind religion. That is not a way a christian is supposed to behave, I question the christianinty of any man who devotes his life to selling gray markjet steroids and research chemicals as well, I seriously doubt jesus would approve of this. He does not even have the guts to confront people on his own IBE forum. This is not a personal attack this is the truth. Prepare for lawsuits IBE.

As I stated earlier, PA is a bad person to trust in this case. He was banned for accusing IBE of selling bad products and was proven wrong. He has had a problem with IBE for years. In the original thread on BB.com, he popped in and stirred up trouble as well.

Please go ahead and lay out the math for the MW calculation for epistane then take into account the desulforization that will occur and produce a new MW. Unless you can do this yourself you are full of it. At least I'm not claiming to be able to do something I'm not. I know how to calculate SIMPLE MW's as well, but i couldn't do it with a steroid like this.

Also, how are we so sure that nothing else occurs, I mean, that is a pretty big difference. Epistane having been desulforized could induce other chemical changes as well. Did he learn this will testing Havoc or is it just a theory? Neither is legitimate since we don't know exactly what is in Havoc either and theory's are just that, theorys.

For the record, I don't really like IBE personally, but just because I don't like them, doesn't make them guilty.

It is of absolutely zero consequence that you don't trust PA, as far as I'm concerned. In fact, it matters almost as little as your opinion of me. He's come up with a figure that a lot of respectable folk have accepted, and IBE has got nothing in return.

What is wrong with you?

 

[kwyckemynd00]

PA tested your product and came out with a MW of 270. He tested the other two products, which are to contain the exact same ingredient and came up with 288. I test your product and come up with 270. Now, if PA tested the three products all the same way and came up with 2 different results (288 being the explainable number), why is yours coming up 270 (which has no logical explanation)?

No, 270 has a logical explanation. The epithio group could easily leave and that would take the overall MW to around 270 depending on whether or not it took one or two protons with it.

I'll ask my professor tomorrow if it is likely to do so.

I actually don't know how 288 is explainable, to tell you the truth. That would be the number he would get if he removed an S-H from the total MW, and not the -OH. -OH almost always falls off during GC/MS as H2O (-18), which yields 270 M+ (molecular ion).

I don't know why PA would say otherwise, honestly.

Well, I'll take it to my professor tomorrow (Ph.D Ochem) or Friday. But, I know FOR A FACT that alcohol would come off as water (-16 for the O and -2 for the two protons).

 

[cavefish]

Right, for whats its worth I don't agree with personal attacks and his religious preferances are none of my business or anyone elses. They should also play no role in how he does business. However Dr. D chose to give that clown a voice by responding to his post then running rather than choosing to ignore it and promoting an open dialog about the test results. I was very much interested in what he had to say about this now I don't know if he'll come back or not.

As an excuse for exiting this thread, it stinks.

All other points are moot until that is resolved.

You're rusty on your ochem, my friend

MW of epistane is 321.

At the 17th Carbon, oriented axially, there is an alcohol functional group -OH. During mass spectroscopy the -OH pretty much always leaves and takes a proton with it. That's -18 AMU from the total MW of 321. That would be the first thing to go, period.

That leaves 303 AMU remaining.

Sulfur, located directly underneath Oxygen on the periodic table (and therefore possessing very similar chemical and physical properties) is also likely to leave (as evidenced by PA's numbers himself, 288 being 321 - 33.) Epistane has an epithio group at 2a,3a. This means that carbons 2 and 3 are bonded to a single sulfur equitorially.

Sulfur has an MW of about 32 and it would strip a proton as well, making the total MW removed 33 AMU.

303 - 33 = 270 AMU for the M+.

To recap,
Epistane contains two functional groups that would likely leave under GC/MS conditions. On is an epithio group and the other is an alcohol. When the alcohol leaves, it takes a proton with it making the total MW loss from the parent molecule 18 AMU. The epithio group would strip a proton with it as well, that takes another 33 away.

So, methyl-epithiostanol = 321. - SH, -H2O = 270.

An M+ of 288 makes little sense. He would have had to leave the -OH functional group on to get that weight, and -OH leaving and stripping a proton (coming off as H2O) is pretty much a given- I guess its "possible" for it to stay on, just very improbably from what I know.

 

[Zero Tolerance]

I have a feeling that whether this discussion remains open or gets locked right now - that we're all going to be in the same place no matter how many pages this discussion goes on.

Save time and make your decision right now.

Either continue to buy from IBE. Or don't.

But don't waste any more time on this discussion. It will not go anywhere.

Mark my words.. Remember page 3 and refer back to here next year when on the anniversary of the "lab results" thread comes upon us - still going on...

IBE has offered a rebuttal, you refused to accept it. Go back to BB.com and worship PA, since you seem to follow him with blind faith. Remember, hes not allowed over here because he is a drama queen sometimes. Very intelligent as well, but a drama queen none the less.

I just think its ironic that you can follow one man with blind faith, but will chastise others for doing the same. That and you pretend to know something about the chemistry of all this, but drop a nice cop-out when you are called on it. Good luck on your quest to rid the world of all that which is IBE. I'm going back to my real life for a while, maybe even go workout, but who does that on a bodybuilding forum anyway?

Ones morals are there own, and need not be shared with any other individual, for that is their inherent nature.



If i buy a product and i yeild positive and safe results, that is what matters to ME.

All i want to know is if whatever is in epi(ibe) is workin better then whatever is in HavoC for the purpose of gyno reduCtion, even from if only an anneCdotal standpoint

I will ask my question elsewhere as i am not one to engage in arguments, and this thread is going in a direCtion that is no longer of my intrest

I will leave on a positive note sayin i hope this is resolved pleasantly and this whole situation was a big mistake as i do respeCt both Companies as well as every member on this board

btw,
aspire where did you find that avatar?

MW of epistane is 321.

At the 17th Carbon, oriented axially, there is an alcohol functional group -OH. During mass spectroscopy the -OH pretty much always leaves and takes a proton with it. That's -18 AMU from the total MW of 321. That would be the first thing to go, period.

That leaves 303 AMU remaining.

Sulfur, located directly underneath Oxygen on the periodic table (and therefore possessing very similar chemical and physical properties) is also likely to leave (as evidenced by PA's numbers himself, 288 being 321 - 33.) Epistane has an epithio group at 2a,3a. This means that carbons 2 and 3 are bonded to a single sulfur equitorially.

Sulfur has an MW of about 32 and it would strip a proton as well, making the total MW removed 33 AMU.

303 - 33 = 270 AMU.

To recap,
Epistane contains two functional groups that would likely leave under GC/MS conditions. On is an epithio group and the other is an alcohol. When the alcohol leaves, it takes a proton with it making the total MW loss from the parent molecule 18 AMU. The epithio group would strip a proton with it as well, that takes another 33 away.

So, methyl-epithiostanol = 321. - SH, -H2O = 270.

Dr.D is right on this one. I'm actually a bit appauled that PA would lie about it. An M+ of 288 makes absolutely no sense. He would have had to leave the -OH functional group on to get that weight, and -OH leaving and stripping a proton (coming off as H2O) is pretty much a given.

thank you:clap2:

now take a bow.

(2) Alcohol usually have a very weak or non-existent parent ion peak but lose water to give a strong peak at (M-18) (see Fig. 17-11b). Cleavage of the C-C bond next to an oxygen is also common, and primary alcohols always have a strong peak at mass 31 due to the ion CH2=OH+.

Wow! Nice work Kwycke!

Man, I never had it. I'm a physics guy, remember?

Well now things are just totally fvcked. Your explanation makes perfect sense, so why did you have to be the one to make it? Couldn't D have rattled that off in his first post? And if you're right, then was PA being ignorant, incompetent, or malicious?

Crikey.

DANM YOU....you beat me to it....i hate being at class and missing all the fun...reps man

D didn't rattle it all off because he did in the other thread...but most people ignored it because they don't understand chem.

 

[Nabeshin]

IBE has offered a rebuttal, you refused to accept it.

Where, pray tell? I don't even see a link to one in this thread.

Go back to BB.com and worship PA, since you seem to follow him with blind faith.

Do we really need to do this?

Dr.D has mentioned this before. I think he even referenced his post where he explained it all.

He called the M+ long before these results were ever posted.

This is a quote from D in the other thread that got locked. It's on page 17.

"Let's think about results for a minute. For example, take a compound with a molecular weight of 321 that possesses an episulfide and a hydroxyl function, which are it's two most libel groups in a GC/MS fragmentation. When injected into a testing system (reference my GC/MS tutorial on p.10), what would be the most likely result? The parent less the hydroxyl less the episulfide which would strip a proton with it (320.53-17.01-32.07-1.01=270.45~270) leaving an ion which would resemble the non alcoholic version of DMT (2-ene). Also, imagine that this product is 99+% pure and that the results and logs are stellar by almost all who try it."

He said it's in the thread that got locked. That's a 22 page thread, and I can't get a search query on "270" to hit anything. This probably goes for everybody who was late to the party like myself. I wish he would have just quoted himself, but c'est la vie, the info is out there now courtesy of our local ice cream hog. :lol:

My assessment of the situation is that neither 270 nor 288 is a terribly suspect MW. I'm not sure what impact this has on the 3.8mg of active per cap situation --- my guess is not much --- but that's far less serious.

Where this goes next I have no idea.
