Good products and a vendor I’ve had a positive experience with, but shipping could be better
I first ordered HCG from Soma Chems about six months ago, and it was one of the better experiences I’ve had with a research chemical vendor. After recently receiving HCG from two other vendors that I was concerned may have been contaminated, I decided to go back to Soma Chems because of my previous positive experience. I placed another HCG order yesterday and am currently waiting for it to arrive. I’ll be interested to see whether the quality and consistency are the same as my first order. Last week, I also ordered nasal spray Acetyl Semax and Selank. These were my first experiences with both compounds and also my first time trying peptide nasal sprays, so I don't have previous experience to compare them against. The nasal sprays were individually wrapped in bubble wrap, but unfortunately both bottles arrived leaking. The caps apparently weren't fully tightened, and by the time they arrived, there was noticeably less Semax remaining in the bottle than Selank. Since both were labeled as 5 mg, I don't know how much product was actually lost during shipping. That's frustrating, especially because I don't have the budget to replace peptides very often. As far as my personal experience with the products, I did notice distinct effects from both Semax and Selank, although I obviously can't verify the actual contents or potency myself. I'm on my third day of using them. I had an unexpected experience today after using a second dose of Selank: instead of feeling relaxed, I experienced significant anxiety that lasted for some time. I also noticed pain on my right side just behind my lower ribs after using Selank. That's an area where I've experienced gallbladder-type pain before, so I don't know whether there is any connection or whether it was simply coincidental. I'm mentioning it only because it was part of my experience, not as a claim that the product caused it. The main reason I'm giving Soma Chems 4 stars instead of 5 is shipping. My previous HCG order, placed toward the end of 2025, took about 15 days to arrive. The nasal spray order I placed on September 25 was shipped on September 28 and delivered October 2, so that shipment was considerably faster. My newest HCG order was placed yesterday and hasn't shipped yet, so I'll have to see how quickly that one moves. I've ordered from around eight different vendors, and many of them ship the same day or the next business day when orders are placed before their cutoff time. Soma Chems may simply be dealing with a higher volume of orders, but faster and more consistent fulfillment would definitely improve the experience. Overall: Based on my experiences so far, Soma Chems is one of the few research peptide vendors I feel comfortable ordering from again. My previous HCG experience was very positive, and my recent order arrived much faster than my previous one. The leaking nasal spray bottles and slower shipping keep me from giving five stars, but overall I've had a good experience and would consider ordering from them again.
