We are a relatively new UK lab, having been open now for just over 5 months. However, between us we have over 10 years experience running successful UGLs.
Just to clear something up before we start, we used to own a lab called Bullion Pharma. CRITICAL isn’t a re-brand of Bullion. We simply left because the relationship between me and my then business partner went to shit…
Towards the end of Bullion, we began working closely with my current partner, who started off as a reseller and very quickly worked his way up. We work in very similar ways and wanted the same thing in regards to business.
So that’s how CRITICAL Anabolics started.
Our goal? Quite simply, to be the lab that we ourselves would want to use. Although, the timing really wasn’t ideal for starting a new lab, given the issues In China.
Despite the current situation regarding raw material availability, we are still managing to source practically everything we need. This gave us an instant advantage over other UK UGLs, who were, and in some cases still ARE struggling to keep even basic testosterone esters In stock.
So how and why are we different?
This may sound cliché, but we LOVE what we do, we genuinely enjoy it. Of course there are other benefits involved, but because of the way we view the business, we are able to step back and view from the perspective of a customer.
We simply broke everything down, changed, improved and tweaked as much as needed, then restructured. Certain things did need changing, one of the main points, the testing of EVERY raw material.
This isn’t something UK labs do, which may seem insane to a lot of non-UK guys reading this, it’s just the truth.
Some will occasionally send a finished vial off themselves, which sceptics will say is deliberately over-dosed and no reflection of actual retail stock. They’re probably right. But truthfully, most UK UGLs tend to shy away from the subject of independent testing – they certainly don’t encourage it.
Previously when things in China were easy, you could be almost certain that you got exactly what you ordered and at a high purity level. In the current situation, it’s more important than ever to test everything.
In the time we have been doing it, there have already been incorrect compounds sent to us, some lower than expected purity levels, and even a few where no active compound was detected.
If we released any of those things blindly, it could quite easily be career-ending – especially as a new lab.
Every lab should be doing it as standard. So every raw material is tested prior to us officially releasing it for general sale.
We do experiment with compounds while waiting for test results, on the assumption that they are what we expect, provided the vendor is trusted. However, we make anyone who tests any gear that has yet been verified, aware of the situation so they can make an informed decision.
We don’t see the point of sending off finished product ourselves, it is all to easy for sceptics to say we just sent a perfect vial. We generally send finished products off when we want to just check our own work.
So Instead, we fully encourage independent testing: anyone who sends a sealed, un-used product to Janoshik/Analiza will have their full costs covered in store credit and the test sample also replaced. Just make sure you purchase from a verified source so that we can verify the purchase, and invoice us your total costs with proof.
Again, I know we aren’t the first to be doing this, but hopefully this also encourages other UK UGLs to do the same.
This should be the WORLD-WIDE INDUSTRY STANDARD for UGLs. TEST EVERYTHING.
With the future of raw availability being uncertain, we need to prioritise customers health and safety, especially with some clients being competitive and their careers potentially relying on accurate gear.
