So I recently started taking LGD Elite from Blackstone Labs, which comes in a powdered, encapsulated form. I saw a few posts about people claiming that the concentration and purity of powdered forms is inferior to liquid forms, for which they stated no evidence for.
Luckily, I work in an analytical chemistry lab for a university and have access to liquid chromatography - mass spec (LC/MS) equipment which allows me to not only determine if a compound is present, but at what purity.
Bottom line: Blackstone Labs LGD Elite is > 99% pure and considering that most companies that sell liquid LGD-4033 claim to be at least 99% pure, there is NO DIFFERENCE in purity based on liquid or powdered form (please see attached chromatogram / spectrum).
Keep an eye out, I'll be posting an in-depth scientific approach to my LGD-4033 cycle once I've completed it (starting week 3 of 6 today), to include my findings here, weekly pictures of myself and all measurements. I'm tired of all the "broscience" attempts at logs and reviews. Lets put some science behind this stuff.
For the other science nerds out there, here was my method:
I used 400 uL of ACN to dissolve the LGD-4033. 200 uL of a 50/50 MeOH/ACN mixture was used as MS tube solvent, to which 10 uL of the ACN/LGD-4033 solution was added. Solvent gradient using LC/MS grade H2O and ACN (both +0.1% F.A.) were used with an internal reference made of 50/50 H2O/MeOH + 1500 ul leucin enkephlin. All tests ran on LCT Premier.
