DirtCheapLabs

Bloodwork is overpriced because of three things: insurance coding games, lab junk fees, and membership upsells. Dirt Cheap Labs strips all three out. Pick the exact tests you want. One honest flat price for all markers. Walk into Quest or Labcorp. $10 draw fee, no membership.

Your requisition form also stays good for a full year, so PEPTIDE10 doesn't have to be a one time thing. You can place three orders now, apply the code to each one, sit on the forms, and walk in whenever you're actually ready. Not bad at all.

The FDA's compounding advisory committee spent this week on peptides and voted yes on six of them. That's a big deal in how this stuff gets decided, and we think it's worth celebrating. So we're taking 10% off any blood test with code PEPTIDE10, right through Monday night.

If peptides aren't your thing or you don't mess with the FDA, the code still works. It comes off the panels, the à la carte tests, and the add ons too. We can all agree that discounts are universally good!

Bloodwork is the part of a peptide protocol most people ignore (because it's more expensive than the peptides). It's the only way to see what anything is doing to your lipids, your liver, and your hormones. Code PEPTIDE10 takes 10% off all of it through Monday night.

@ManOnThePen People like this are haters for no reason lol. “I NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW I USE RUO!!!” Thanks for sharing bro.

I get the concern, I do… But if the greatest breakthroughs in modern medicine are going for $150 a month (incretins), your BPC-157 is likely to come down to earth too.

@_9th_Life_ Is that the map to el dorado?

I ❤️ carbs

Putting in an order through @DirtCheapLabs has probably been the easiest blood work experience I’ve ever had: - No lengthy intake/onboarding form on the website - Selected the basic panel, added on a couple more markers I have been monitoring - Ordered generated to Quest immediately - Found a Quest within walking distance of my house (in Tom Thumb) - Walked in, gave blood, walked out - Waiting on results now via email This is the way

@cyburke @_9th_Life_ Rhytm is merely using Tasso devices to measure a handful of markers that are skewed by: 1. A capillary draw vs venous draw 2. Utilizing cheap assays They also spelled rhythm wrong. It’s like comparing a brown crayon to melanotan 1 or 2. Sure, both can make your skin darker…

@_9th_Life_ @DirtCheapLabs I love labs options! Definitely helpful. Genuinely curious as I'd not heard of DCL until just now. This is still ~$100 more than Rythm Health and you don't even leave your home for that option. Thoughts?

@jakubkrehel You’re like the Papa John’s for AI. Better ingredients. Better pizza. Papa Jakub. Thanks for sharing!

In a recent article, I wrote about using skills to encode judgement and understanding into agents. I put together a set of skills that each focus on a different part of a product and help make it better. /better-ui /better-typography /better-colors More skills are coming soon. npx skills add jakubkrehel/skills

I sometimes lay in bed thinking about this in the 5 minutes before the seltorexant knocks me out cold. Some really good businessmen out there who could make it work. And I definitely have enough knowledge around operations and whatnot to make it work. But idk if I have the balls to do it. Especially given the other stuff I’m involved with now, it would definitely be shooting myself in the foot. But having someone be able to synth random stuff (in bulk) for me based off any CAS number I throw at them? BRUH. Sign me the fuck up.

I have a lot of dudes hitting me up about starting peptide companies… Mostly personal friends, gym bro types who just got into peptides this year. My advice is unilaterally the same: don’t do it. The market is way too saturated, and most guys getting in for the money are going to skip the crucial steps that actually make a peptide business work. Like I get it lol. You’re excited. You saw results on reta. But running a proper business is way harder than people imagine. With a Claude license it’s easy to vibe code a storefront, find a Chinese plug, and dropship peptides. But running a legit operation with compliance, quality control, testing? Not so much. What I’d actually do instead: Don’t focus on selling peptides. Focus on building something innovative AROUND the industry. We need more of this. Think to yourself “how can I make this industry better?” COA verification layer and authentication, like what Res Labs is doing. There are so many unexplored angles in this space that I can’t even list them all. And it doesn’t have to be tech forward. If you’re a jacked dude with a personal training background, become a GLP-1 coach. Not managing protocols, but building diet and training programs so people don’t waste away all their muscle while they’re on it. That market is massive and wide open. Don’t treat this industry like a get rich quick scheme. There is so much money to be made adjacent to the peptide industry that people are overlooking because they’re tunnel visioned on selling vials.

@ManOnThePen Just the amount of peptides that go into my body are enough to count as several million Americans worth 😂

I’ll tell you one thing, the gray market for GLP-1 is grossly underestimated. It’s several million.

we built the pricing backwards most e-commerce businesses start with a margin target, then set a price. westarted with "what's dirt cheap" and worked back to see if it could survive. $175 for 53 markers. $295 for 71. flat. no upsells. no "premium" tier with a fancier name. physician auth is included. blood draw at Quest is included. results PDF is included. the only way this holds together is buying in bulk through a B2B platform and passing the savings through instead of keeping them. weird business? maybe. but we're not trying to make money here. the people who need labs most are often the ones who skip them because of cost. that's the whole reason we exist.

@KimeraChems Guys, I already love you. I don't think my heart is capable of loving you any more.

Transparency Thursday (Probably works better on Tuesday but oh well lol) How we send product off for capping. We shoot for 10% overfill to account for variation in concentration. Everything accounted for the whole step of the way until it comes back to us. Don't mind my chicken scratch They've learned to adapt haha

@fitcapbiohacker Alpha GPC, especially with all the modafinil I'm inhaling at this point

What is one supplement that you take daily non peptide or anabolic that is a game changer for you? I'll go first electrolytes.

@ClaudeDevs I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

We've reset 5-hour and weekly rate limits for all users.

@jasonkneen Does it still maintain your cloud code session tabs inside the desktop app?

Introducing, Claude-Farm soon to be called something else lol. It uses macOS container support to allow you to run multiple claude instances with different credentials, accounts, tooling and more. Simple cli, spin up cc-1, cc-2 etc sign in and you're good to go -- you can configure to transfer/port skills etc and switching is simple. Using it for my current multiple CC subs and works great. github.com/jasonkneen/cla…

@RetaDiary This is pretty dope to see. If you ever need to get more labs, I'll hook you up with a steep discount for the science.

🩸 Got my 90 day bloodwork back from my Phase 3 retatrutide trial. I have no idea how to read bloodwork lol Only been 90 days so I’m not expecting anything crazy. Context: 8 weeks at 2mg and 4 weeks at 4mg in between these tests So I got ChatGPT to compare my baseline labs from April to where I'm at now. If anyone here knows bloodwork better than I do, I'd genuinely love another set of eyes. 🩸 Biggest win HbA1c 5.7 → 5.5 ✅ This one made me smile. Started out in the prediabetic range and now it's back into normal. 🫀 Liver ALT: 24 → 39 AST: 19 → 22 GGT: 27 → 27 Bilirubin: 9.1 → 7.2 Everything is still in the normal range. 💧 Kidneys Creatinine: 106 → 88 ✅ This one surprised me. I lift 4x a week so I figured it'd go the other way. BUN: 5.0 → 5.0 Estimated GFR: 124 → 112 Still well into the normal range. Urine looked good too. No protein. No albumin leakage. ⚡ Electrolytes Sodium: 137 → 141 Potassium: 4.2 → 4.4 Magnesium: 0.90 → 0.90 Calcium: 2.48 → 2.42 Everything pretty much stayed where you'd want it. 🩸 Blood counts Hemoglobin: 154 → 146 RBC: 5.48 → 5.21 WBC: 6.5 → 5.1 Platelets: 187 → 169 Nothing really jumped out here. 🧬 Pancreas Amylase: 40 → 41 Lipase: 28 → 33 Both still normal, which was nice to see. 👀 Things I'll keep an eye on CPK: 159 → 217 Just over the reference range. From what I've been told, that's pretty common if you've been lifting. Bicarbonate: 25 → 19 Anion Gap: 12 → 18 Apparently those can happen from things like hard training, dehydration, calorie restriction or burning a lot of fat. I'll definitely be watching those at my next blood draw. Overall I'm pretty happy with this. Seeing the bloodwork moving in the right direction is a whole different kind of motivation. If anyone here knows bloodwork better than I do and notices something I missed, let me know. Always trying to learn.

@KimeraChems @Vanguard_Lab @Dustin_Newman This is what I love about you guys so much.

Tuesday is testing day Bromantane 9-ME-BC Tesamorelin Fasoracetam Coluracetam MPAP Flmodafinil (Batch retest) All off to our 3 labs Can only tag @Vanguard_Lab and @Dustin_Newman

@16vchq dirtcheaplabs.com It's just dirt cheap labs lol

drop your startup link get some traffic

@fitcapbiohacker Can I shill a really cheap (some may even say dirt cheap) blood testing service? Asking for permission, wouldn't dream of doing it without permission.

When you shill other peptide vendors under my comments you're getting blocked. This is my corner go find another block to sell on.
