u just need to send some caps but also you need to send 100 bucks

Thanks, but we already have everything 3rd party tested, I just wanted everyone here to know we have no issues with our products being tested, Osta Rx or anything else.

ostarine wouldnt be something i would be so suspicious of anyway, since the stuff from asia has been verified already

if you were selling follistatin 344 otoh i would not be so sure

 

[smt1]

i have tested grey market ostarine and found what looked like ostarine. i dont remember what the brands were

You find this, right? http://www.ama-assn.org/resources/doc/usan/enobosarm.pdf

 

[steppinRazor]

sub'd for info

 

[bigdavid]

Seeing as you are on all the boards have you seen bloodwork from anyone running ostarine in pct at lower doses? Or you just suspect based on your knowledge that it would not allow for optimal hpta recovery?

i dont recall

its on my hard drive at work i can check later

it is suppressive when taken by itself. this has been shown not only in people running it solo but i believe in actual studies as well

i dont need to see anyone take it as part of a pct

Yes, I agree, but the studies showed no suppression at 3 mg. Perhaps there would also be no suppression at 10 mg. Hence why I said lower dose.

any dose of the stuff where you will see no suppression will be worthless for gains. that i will bet you. so what is the point of using it during pct other than to waste your money?

If that is the case then I would agree. But I assume there must be some dose where you are almost to the suppressive stage but not quite there, at which point you might get some anabolic effect to save gains, at least in the first few weeks of pct. I guess you would not agree with that assumption.

Why doesn't IML publish the CoAs on its products? I mean, if you spent the $$ to have it tested, and there are no issues as you say, it doesn't make sense to me to keep that info confidential. Personally, I believe its legit, but it'd be nice to know for sure that that there isn't any other "stuff" in there and that the dose/cap is accurate.

Also, why did IML double the price of Osta Rx?

you want to believe this is more like it

go ahead and take a small dose of the stuff during PCT if it gives you peace of mind then. I doubt it will hurt you

dang, times are gettin hard.

 

[jbryand101b]

because they are in the business to make money, not look out for their fellow bb'r.

and they gotta come up with that 100 bucks to send the caps to pat.

well, yes we easily could do this, but what does it really prove? anyone could forge a COA and post it up and make it look legit. I guess we feel that our reputation and feedback online has a lot more value than a PDF document.

we did not double the price of Osta Rx, we fixed the retail price at $99.99, retailers were not supposed to be selling it for $50.

you advertised osta-rx on your facebook page and told people to buy from the BDS website.. you guys obviously saw they were selling it for $50.

 

[hyperCat]

you advertised osta-rx on your facebook page and told people to buy from the BDS website.. you guys obviously saw they were selling it for $50.

And they had it on their own website initially for 79.99... So I suppose that's only a $20 price increase. But whatever, I guess. For me personally, it's not looking like it'll be worth $79, let alone $99. Maybe for many others it will be. I don't know how the whole retail/distributorships work in the supplement industry, so I can't really comment on what happened with BDS. Like jbry said, they're in it to make money, so more power to 'em if they can sell it at that price.

Your logic on the COA doesn't resonate with me as a consumer, but that's your call. Once I'm done with my bottle, I'll give you some honest feedback. I really like that IML had the nutz to come out with this product, but I just think it's a reach at that price point.

 

[hyperCat]

Totally understand it's a business, and they're well within their right to do what they please so they can make money. No question there...

Simply replying to the statement that retailers were not supposed to sell at $50. If they weren't supposed to, then why advertise on your own facebook page a place that does?

 

[MuscleGauge1]

Interested in this topic, been looking at Ostarine...

I'm interested in this topic as well. Def. wanna hear some results

 

[Patrick Arnold]

I dunno exactly how it works but i believe it is illegal to make agreements with distributors to agree to "price fixing"

I think both sides need to agree though

No one wants their products whored out but u cant control what things are sold for ultimately. U can choose to sell to only certain distributors of course

funny! this sounds really familiar!! almost like the time you told me that the 30mg dose per serving was a typo!! lol! and that was a blatant lie.

 

[steppinRazor]

If PA wants to test our Osta Rx for you guys I would be happy to send him a bottle.

u just need to send some caps but also you need to send 100 bucks

Thanks, but we already have everything 3rd party tested, I just wanted everyone here to know we have no issues with our products being tested, Osta Rx or anything else.

really?? i'd like to see some 3rd party testing thats actually posted! and from a trusted source non the less!

if you were so quick to send Patrick Arnold a bottle - why not just send him the couple caps and "shell out" the hundred bucks (as you put it, while referring to your customers buying osta at the "fixed" rate.

Good question that we'll probably never get the answer to...

"it was a typo" !!! :lmao:

 

[T-Bone]

I didn't know you could tell retailers what price to sell your product at. I thought your could suggest a price and then the retailer could choose what to actually sell it for. If IronMagLabs is so sure of the product they are selling, then why not send a few caps to PA for testing. People seem to trust him with this sort of thing and it will go a long way with your potential customers.

 

[Patrick Arnold]

and if they sell it for a price you dont like you can stop selling it to them

 

[anathemax]

Side note: "Price fixing" is generally not allowed, but as previously mentioned you can control who you do business with. The company I work for has a "unilateral pricing policy" and anyone not willing to work within those confines, or who breaks this policy, doesn't get to sell our product. Completely legal. And there are ton of ways around it - "unrelated" total order discounts, or store credit for other products or freebies. whatever.

Side note: I'm not running the SuperDMZ RX yet, although I think I will pull the trigger on it in the next couple of months.

I am running the Osta RX, mainly because I have run mk2866 in the past - from what I believe was a reputable source - and saw significant effects in hardening and muscle sparing during a serious cut. I also had no significant sides during cycle, but had some serious shutdown, even with a two week taper. Clomid kicked everything back into gear, but I was hoping all the "No pct needed" hype was right....but my test levels were in the crapper for awhile. Good news was that I kept most of my muscle, and didn't see any jump in bf% afterward.

I'm only 12 days in on the Osta RX with nothing much to report right now. *shrug* I'm giving it a fair shot though, but definitely getting bloods done after this one too.

*edit* and I got it before the price hike, def. wouldn't have given it a shot @ 99$ when you I can get the other stuff for 49$ more

Good review. Interested in those bloods. I have seen bloods from both sides. Some have taken it and had 0 change in test levels while some peoples test levels TANKED. Currently testing MK2866

 

[T-Bone]

thats not a pct. thats an extension of your cycle. these are androgens

I'm stacking my Osta Rx with AndroHard LV. I was just told this was pointless though and I don't really understand why. If I think of Osta Rx as an androgen then why not stack it with androhard?

 

[Patrick Arnold]

makes as much sense as stacking any other two anabolic steroids.

i assume androhard is a prohormone

Yes, androhard is a pro-hormone to DHT.

[Patrick Arnold]

i am not sure what hard androgen means. sounds like a bro term. u mean has a low anabolic / androgenic index?

 

[jbryand101b]

no no silly goose, i was using my dry sense of humor.

androhard could imply it's some kind of hard androgen instead of being a product that contained esterfied epiandrosterone as well as esterfied androsterone.

 

[BeBig22]

no anabolic steroid was able to acheive complete selectivety of anabolic from androgenic effects. And likewise, these SARMs (although they can recheive a remarkable degree of selectivity at lower dosages) have not acheived complete selectivity either. In fact I see little evidence that they are superior in this regard to the cleanest of the AAS (primo, anavar, nandrolone)

"In general, SARMs are defined as tissue-selective AR ligands [7]. An ideal SARM should also have (i) high specificity for the AR, (ii) improved oral bioavailability and a pharmacokinetic profile that allows once-a-day administration and, most importantly, (iii) desirable, tissue-selective pharmacological activities. The major discriminating criterion is tissue selectivity of the ligand in vivo, so both agonists and antagonists, and steroidal and non-steroidal ligands might be classified as SARMs. The major goal in the development of SARMs is to avoid the undesirable side-effects of treatment by improving the tissue selectivity of the ligands. This would greatly extend the clinical applications of these ligands beyond primary and secondary hypogonadism. Other potential applications for SARMs include hormone-replacement therapy, osteoporosis, muscle wasting, male contraception, BPH and prostate cancer"

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2072879/

Seems like SARMs would include all androgens with a q-ratio other than 1, and all anti-androgens as well. Ostarine fits the criteria for (ii) quite well since it has good oral bioavailability and a 24hr half-life...as does winstrol. Targeting growth in skeletal muscle while limiting growth in the prostate was the goal of developing lots of anabolics in past decades and seems to be one of the main goals of this new SARM category:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17086931

From that first link it sounds like the category "SARM" was invented to include the non-steroidal AR agonists. Of course these can still rightfully be called androgens...

I am wondering why there is some fundamental need for this category to exist. Better for getting funding for research when you say you are studying a receptor modulator instead of an anabolic steroid/androgen?

However scientists are now referring to anabolic steroids as SARMs as well sometimes.

Yes, its much more politically correct and non-threatening sounding. Putting old people on SARMs sounds nifty, putting them on anabolic / androgens sounds bad

What would be a good PCT after an 8-12 week run of ostarine? I've had gyno so I am a little leery...

And you have a license from GTx, sure. I expect that you have already created a small army prepared to resist a police raid in the near future.

Show me your 3rd party tests, please.

why would we need a license from Gtx to sell Mk-2866?

Mk-2866 is NOT a controlled substance so there would not be a raid.

thanks for your sarcastic comments though.

I get flamed for saying this all the time but will do so AGAIN...... dudes with <10 posts who make absurd product PIMPING posts ...OR.....ones who bombastic posts trashing/egregiously challenging a company with an obvious agenda are SO BLATANTLY OBVIOUS in their motivation I am surpirsed they get ANY attention at all.

Again, it works BOTH WAYS.

It's not a "dietary supplement" either. IMHO, I think it's just as unethical and desperate as "Halo for her" - furthermore displaying a lack of company responsibility.
