Comparison of Gear Pricing & Potency for Pharmacom, Kodiak Queen, Get Pumped and OS Gear Stealth
I was putting together a spreadsheet to compare prices and potency for a US Domestic order here in the next couple weeks. Obviously we all work hard for our money and want to get the best deal possible as well as the best quality product for our money. Put this spreadsheet together and figured I'd share it with the community. I have no bias towards any source and like noted on the spreadsheet, I have personal experience with Pharmacom, Kodiak and Stealth Gear, all extremely positive, and I'm considering Get Pumped as well.
Hopefully this can help someone, if not or if I'm in violation of any rules I apologize and please delete if that's the case.
In my experience you get what you pay for for the most part with underground lab gear, but not all of us are balling out of control so seeing the difference broken down between different sources, can be helpful.

Terms such as "stick with what works" and "keep it simple stupid" are thrown right out the window on this one.
Definitely. Trying to determine what gear makes the most sense to buy from a cost standpoint is way complicated stuff.
I have to disagree. Does it take focus and time to browse and compare? Yes.
Complicated, absolutely not.
You, of course, realize that this is a review site. Products and services are reviewed here daily. Most sites reviewed on eroids have very easy to navigate sites. Also there is a top 10 for a reason. Throw in your web searches and online videos and you have a wealth of information. Comparing prices and products is very simple via these tools. I'm all for trying new venders, pharmacies or UGLs , as well as products. And yes, who isn't a sucker for a good deal.
In bodybuilding it should be apparent that "better is better". The cream isn't hard to spot as it rises to the top. So it should come to no surprise that the top ten suppliers are rated that way for a reason. There are 3 labs I can think of off the top that I know I can trust any product they make. Several suppliers I know that deliver always. That alone should be peace of mind , not if you are saving 30 cents per dose.
Are you fucking retarded? Saying it was complicated stuff was some serious sarcasm. Watch out for this guy hahahahaha.
Claimed potency and actual potency are two different things, though. These data only account for the claimed potency, which kind of invalidates them from a scientific standpoint.
in other words, pure anecdotal Bro-Science, then .
Right, breaking down numbers as advertised is definitely bro science. You win the internet.
Wasn't trying to make any claims or representations for any of the labs listed, just breaking down numbers as stated by them.
PallMallI was expecting blood work on the different brands when I clicked this. =(
Cool price breakdown though.
I actually have bloods (private md labs) somewhere while running pharmacom, stealth and kodiak, albeit all different dose levels. Had a hard drive shit out on me about a year back and lost a ton of stuff as well as dumped multiple sources of files onto one external ssd I have yet to really go through and figure out what I have and don't have. I'd be happy to post anything up that I can find but all were dosed accurately.
Interesting. The tough thing to quantify is the potency/purity (quality as mentioned below by ppgfreak). I see you used the potency claimed on the label. Even using tests from a 3rd party for potency is tough.
I do like the price breakdown though. Good job.
Like you said, you get what you pay for. I would rather spend more and get quality gear than spend less and question it or get subpar results. For example, I’ve tried multiple different sources and just switched their testosterone for my trt dose.
With one manufacture my blood work showed that I actually had more testosterone in my system, which told me it was slightly overdosed. With three different domestic UGL sources my blood work showed that I have much less testosterone in my system. In fact, two of the sources I had to go from 200mg week all the way to 500mg and my blood work was still showing me that it was less than my pharmacy grade testosterone at 200mg.
Point being, I stick with quality not quantity. Getting your gear half the price and then needing double the dosage doesn’t help does it?
I sent you a friend request. Did you post the blood work for the under dosed domestic srcs?
sent u a fr
I agree completely. I would much rather get better quality gear and pay a bit extra, but I also understand that not everyone can always afford to get the best quality. In my experience, pharmacom and stealth have always been dosed spot on, with kodiak being right there as well but not quite their level, but for the cheaper price sometimes it's worth it depending on person and situation.

Hashtag1981You are good at data analysis
Long history of putting numbers together to make them easily understood by the masses. Now I'm pretty much always looking for a way to use excel to figure out what's the best value, quality, etc. for all aspects of life. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it's a waste of time as I just reinforce what I already know or is obvious.
Hashtag1981I need to enhance ,my data analysis /science skills with excel
Just keep practicing analyzing any types of data. Practice with pricing for different products you can buy. Google and YouTube are great resources for excel help.
