This is something I always try to warn people about - no matter how well intentioned a source is now days, that still doesn't mean they know what they're selling you. They may be the nicest person in the world, but they're relying on the source from which they buy it from, who again may be a super nice person, but being a nice guy doesn't ensure quality.
We see that on the supplement side. It's a huge pet peeve of mine to see people say - oh, I trust that company, the owner's a nice guy - it doesn't matter if the owner is a nice guy, it matters if they test their products. They can be the nicest person in the world but that doesn't ensure anything about raw material quality, finished product quality, or the product being free from microbials and heavy metals. Being nice doesn't have anything to do with it - bc if they don't test, they don't know.
You may love your UGL supplier and he may love you, but he doesn't test his stuff - the reason I say that is because if you send a Schedule III controlled substance to an FDA/DEA registered lab for testing here in the US, they're going to report you to the FDA or DEA because they're required to by law. And if a company uses a company to test that isn't certified, then they're not really using a legitimate company to test, they're using someone who claims to be a company to test but that has no requirement to do it or do it correctly. What's going to happen? Someone going to sue the illicit testing facility for lying on a test result for their illegal drug? May sound harsh, but see my point?
Here's something that has always worried me about Superdrol now days. In the old days, I sold a lot of that ingredient. In thousands and thousands of bottles sold, and that's back when we could have it sent for independent testing and I was very OCD about that, I never had one single report of nausea ever. Not one. But then, after SD was officially banned, you started to see nausea be commonly associated with it. So that led me to ask wtf it really was or what was mixed with it or what went wrong with the synthesis on it bc it never happened with the legit material we used to sell.
There are a lot of PED's that are illegal in China, some that always were, but it was just never enforced. But when China banned the production of a lot of this stuff, including Superdrol, when they were trying to get their Olympics bid, as the saying goes 'stuff got real' and China doesn't play in terms of penalties. The legit factories that were making it stopped in a hurry.
I'm not saying its not out there, I'm sure it is. But it went from being made in the same factories that used to make it to the more illicit ones that you just never know what you're actually getting. So that, combined with seeing more sides that we never used to see before, makes me very leery of it now days.
