Is anyone filtering with a 25mm 0.22um filter?

[iloveblondes666]

I've read a lot especially @Ghoul work and I'm sold on filtering the GLP-1 now; Matter of fact I think it's even more important than HGH,

whereas with GH there may be some room for debate for the effectiveness/necessity of the filtering, with GLP-1s I think it's a no brainer and the easiest and best thing you could possibly do to make sure you can use these compounds for a long time without worrying about immunogenicity.

One single filtering reduces 95% of aggregates and brings UGL/compound pharmacy quality to almost pharma standards? Sign me in.

Now to my question, I already know 4mm or 13mm are the best sized filters with the minimum liquid uphold loss, but I can't for the life of me find a good source in europe or one from the USA which is not absurdly priced (cobetter doesn't ship to my country surprisingly)

I've found some good priced 0.22 PES 25mm ones made by ISOLAB at around 45$ for 50 pieces,

but the problem I hear with 25mm is you're gonna have a lot of water upholding, some say up to 0.5ml.

I'm planning to use these on retatrutide 30mg, but I ll also buy lower dosage retatrutide like 10mg if it matters because I'm keen on filtering.

Will also probably try filtering my GH why not but that's as a separate less important note.

I also have unlimited bac water so I'll fill every vial with 3ml plus, but I wanna hear your experiences with using 25mm filters. I also couldn't find how reliable air / water purging is if the liquid gets stuck, thanks!

Flush the filter with bac
Something is wrong if your bac gets stuck

I flush the filter with BAC for three drops (I guess that cleans it?).

Once I’ve passed through all of the peptide, I pass through plain BAC to flush more of the peptide through. Then I flush air through to try to get more BAC out of the filter.

At the moment I reconstitute all peptides with around 4ml of BAC. More is better.

As for filter size, it doesn’t really matter if you flush BAC and air through after.

Nah I don’t filter really don’t see a reason why too honestly. Oils sure but peptides and GH no. Labs have all been good so far without doing it.

They actually asked this on Blood Sweat And Gear podcast and Scott basically was like uhhh…no lol

Yeah. Filtering is almost certainly pointless. But it could prevent some pretty bad outcomes, and it only adds maybe two minutes of prep per reconstitution, and it costs about a dollar per filter.

So filtering is low cost, with a high chance of doing fuck all, but a low chance of filtering toxins and aggregates.

I mean for those truly concerned with their sources purity and what not I understand it and those who just want the extra protection more power to them but I’ve never known of people filtering until I’ve seen all the posts here. Maybe I’m missing something here but yeah just my opinions

To me it takes zero time and it's worth even if it's just for the mental benefit (and we know it is not just that, based on @Ghoul's sharing). The only side I see is the little bit of drug that remains in the syringe, which for rhGH is quite a waste (PES, 0.22μm, 13mm + 1ml Reduced Dead Space Syringe Barrel + BD 25G 1 inch).

Filtering is a cheap way to remove harmful bacteria and fungus from your solution, if they are present. Same logic behind wiping the top of your vial before injecting. And It's less about trusting your source (unless your source is Lilly) , but more about risk reduction.
