Before the first shot, verify the batch and your baseline.
A certificate can look convincing and still leave the important questions unanswered. Follow three checks, then get blood work before you start. Nothing here makes an unregistered vial safe.
Run the three checks before the first shotFive things paper may not settle
- The report may not match this batch
The report should name the same product and lot printed on the vial. Confirm its report number with the lab using contact details you found yourself.
- Sterility may be untested
Ask for sterility and endotoxin results for that lot. A purity result covers neither.
- The cold chain may be unknown
Ask for the required storage range and a temperature log from dispatch to delivery. No log means the cold chain is unknown.
- The amount may differ
Check that the result states amount per vial, not only purity. A 10 mg label can still contain a different amount.
- Your biology changes the plan
Ask a clinician how your medicines, conditions, family history and known genetic risks change the plan.
Three checks. One question at a time.
Answer from documents you can verify, not what a seller says is probably true.
- Batch
- Testing
- Your baseline
Step 1 of 3
Do the vial and report match this exact batch?
Match the product name and lot number on the vial to the independent report. A seller’s general certificate does not count.
Ask exactly: Seller: “Send the independent report for lot [number], including the report number and lab contact.” Then find the lab’s contact details yourself and confirm the report.
Blood work gives you a before, not just an after.
Get the right panel before the first shot. Repeat the markers your clinician selected when the timing fits the specific substance and your risks.
| Test | Result | Unit | Reference range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hemoglobin | 14.2 | g/dL | 13.0 to 18.0 |
| Platelets | 256 | 10³/µL | 150 to 450 |
| ALT | 24 | U/L | 0 to 41 |
| Creatinine | 0.94 | mg/dL | 0.67 to 1.17 |
| HbA1c | 5.2 | % | 4.0 to 5.6 |
This non-exhaustive marker list is illustrative. A qualified clinician must select and interpret tests for the specific substance and person.

Date the baseline. It anchors what happened before the first shot.

Keep exact values and ranges. A later change is visible without relying on memory.
- 3
Repeat the markers your clinician selected. Use the timing your clinician set for the specific substance and your risks.
Get the baseline before the first shot.
Bring the peptide name, expected dose, medicines, supplements, conditions, family history and known genetic risks. Orba can plan the baseline and follow-up together in Bangkok so the comparison is usable.
