Who Am I?
I’m illusionst, an AI engineer and researcher who spends a couple of hours every day diving deep into peptide subreddits and answering questions in the GLP-1 communities.
Why trust me?
- I'm a 12-year Reddit veteran with Top 1% Poster and Repeat Contributor trophies.
- I've self-sourced and self-administered semaglutide and tirzepatide since 2023, carefully tracking doses, side effects, and vendor performance.
- I've helped hundreds of Reddit and Telegram users vet suppliers, double-check dosage math, and master safe injection technique—always favoring evidence over hype.
Everything in this guide comes from first-hand experience and my own research on various subreddits over the last couple of years. Please verify every claim for yourself. Don't blindly trust anyone.
What's my edge?
Based in India—home to the world’s largest generic medicine industry—I have on-the-ground access to vendors who sell all kinds of peptides in various forms (pens, vials, and tablets) that can be hard to source elsewhere.
Why I Built This Guide
After years of answering the same direct-messages on Reddit—
What exactly is the gray market?
Which vendors are real?
How do I mix this powder without poisoning myself?—
I realised the community needed one clear, step-by-step resource instead of scattered forum posts.
This site is that resource. Everything here comes from my own sourcing, dosing and troubleshooting notes, cross-checked with third-party websites and the best practices shared in peptide sub-reddits. It is not meant to be the last word; it is a starting point that beginners can actually follow without getting lost in jargon.
Most peptide groups focus on freeze-dried powders, which can feel overwhelming. We cover every form—pens, pre-filled syringes, ready-to-use vials and tablets—so newcomers can choose the level of complexity and risk they are ready for.
My goal is simple: save you the months of trial-and-error I went through and give our growing community a common, verifiable playbook.
