Bloodwork, and being aware of the sides .

You can also piss on a bottle and have it tested , it will tell you exactly what you are on . ($150)

Pretty labels and Srcs who call me bro. That's enough for me

Legit source reviews are one really good way to make sure that your getting the real deal. Reading a real up to date review from a credible person saying that they used this product recently and it was legit, is the best way to know your gonna get what you pay for.

Some shady sources have obviously faked reviews. The really obviously fakes reviews show that they cannot be bothered to do business right or don't have much business at all.

I think pics will help determine and then again some of the best trainers aren't jacked at all..

How do you know..that your are really pinning what the label on the bottle says?

Without a real chemical test, you can't be certain. Also, any lab that want's to make quality gear can do so.

That said, I just feel more comfortable buying products from a really big machine automated "pharma" style production lab that produces huge batches of chemicals. This is only my opinion, of course, but I just think it is less likely that a lab that is running off 10,000 vials of Test E is going to make shit. Any guarantee? No. But, that's the only "precaution" I think is available to most of us.

You have to look at the side effects you're experiencing.

If you think you're taking Anavar, but you're getting sore joints, you're probably taking Winny.

If you think you're taking Anavar, but you're getting bloating, you might be taking Dbol.

Trust in a source is everything. When I see a product read "Out Of Stock", I like it because in my mind it shows the company isn't trying to push a compound under another name.

The more expensive compounds are the ones more likely to be faked; Anavar and Primobolan are probably the most often faked.

As for EQ vs Primo; EQ has been known to cause anxiety, as well as raising blood pressure.

If you're dealing with a company that prints "lot/batch numbers" on its products, then keep track of those, and monitor reviews from that company's page. Look for others experiences.

All of these are factors when trying to determine if a product is authentic without a test.

Good luck and happy lifting all.

It all comes down to a few things .

1. Trust in the SRC and reputation and reviews from members

2. Experience with the gear your running what to look for expected sides and how you feel while on it.

3. Lastly it's going to happen your going to get bunk gear or gear passed off as a different compound just have to be aware and know your body

Anaboliclab of course posts a lot of testing of products. Some are skeptical of their potetial biases, so you can form own opinion. Other than blood tests while running testosterone, it seems to be the only current option for validity outside of funding tests yourself. Not many of us will do this though obviously, so past experiences with manufacturer along with anaboliclabs reports, amd blood tests is what I use.

I got a batch of anavar that was actually dbol! Stuff didn't feel like anavar so I confirmed it was actually dbol with a labmax kit. Unfortunately, for people trying a compound for the first time they may be clueless because they don't know what to actually expect because they have never ran the real thing before.

Probably best bit of advice is to stay away from all these brand new sources popping up overnight, especially the unverified ones if you are new to running a certain compound and aren't familiar with the sides/results of that compound. Stick with the tried and true sources when trying out a new compound for the first time so that you have some reasonable assurance that it is what it is supposed to be. Then you can dip your toes into these one night wonder sources with the unbelievable prices and at least know based off of certain sides and effects if the compound is actually what it is claimed to be. Can still be a crapshoot sometimes though.
