j.mwangi, post #2: Short peptides like these are chromatographically simple, so a purity result is comparatively easy to obtain and comparatively easy to make look good on a lazy gradient. Ask for the method. Old habit: I write down the expected answer before I calculate it. Go to post

Nothing in this subcategory is medical advice and several members here are describing experiments on themselves. Both of those things should be stated plainly rather than implied.

The short version is the first sentence; the rest is why.

Reported local reactions are common enough in first-hand accounts here to be worth mentioning and are not characterised in any published series.
