I generally do not like to speak in absolutes, but I am 95% certain QSC does not manufacture any peptides themselves, and my general chit-chat with our main distributor in China has more or less confirmed this. It is entirely possible I am wrong, as I am not intimately familiar with their operation.

What I can say categorically though, is that the overwhelming majority of AAS raws, peptides, etc from China are produced in completely "legal" facilities. The same facilities that are producing say, Testosterone raws for Pfizer. (Pharmaceutical companies have the buying power to demand MUCH higher quality control standards from these factories. The fact of the matter is, all the product that doesn't meet the pharmacopeia standards gets distilled into the "underground", ie our industry. Hence why you rarely see 99% purity raw test reports in the "underground".)

Tangential fun fact, despite their being hundreds if not thousands of companies, and even factories that sell and wholesale creatine monohydrate, you can count on one, maybe two hands the number of factories that are actually synthesizing creatine monohydrate themselves. Simply put, the technology at play here is very antiquated, and pretty much monopolized by a few big players. It's not that Pfizer couldn't make their own testosterone APIs, it's just that they have absolutely no desire to, they are focused on the cutting edge of pharmaceutical engineering, as opposed to wasting their bandwidth messing around with technology from the 1930s.

Would you say its just coincidence that supremes and QSC 24s both have grey tops? I dont know if there's common color scales.

It's entirely possible, in fact relatively probable, that where ever QSC sources their grey top HGH is the same place our distributor sources them from. I'm sure I could squeeze a direct answer to this out of my distributor, as our relationship is quite strong, but I'm not necessarily inclined to do so. I will say though, that top colors are relatively meaningless in the grand scheme of things, our supplier gives us full autonomy to have any top colors we'd like on our products, as they custom order their batches from the factory they get the product from. They also custom order the "overdose" specifications on the product. To directly answer your question, yes the grey top "Supreme" batch is technically supposed to be 24iu, plus the overdosing specifications they request, so your logic train tracks very well. Since our business model is predicated on testing every batch, we by and large have ignored the dosing the batches are supposed to contain, and decided to let the test results speak for themselves. Otherwise, we would just advertise "Supreme" as 240 IU kits, but that would of course be quite lazy, and disingenuous.

Does the recent legislation in China impact you? I would guess not, since you are acting as a vendor rather than an individual.

I've been an observer of the "underground PED" scene in China for quite some time, both peripherally from the outside in as a consumer, and now from the "inside out" as a vendor. Every time there is allegedly some sort of new legislation and crackdowns, their seems to be a "blip" of enforcement, and then everything goes back to normal. I'm not going to pretend I have even a vague understanding of China's politics, but I think by and large the Chinese government every so often instigates some sort of "crackdown" on our industry for political appeasement, and then it all dies down and goes back to "normal". Again, this has just been my observation, and it's entirely possible that I am completely off base. I have a handful of relationships with people that have been around the block much longer than me, and they largely agree with my sentiment.

I will say, I do applaud your investigative work though haha! You're far more well informed than most, and hopefully this dialogue will be educational for other consumers.
