Grapeseed Oil (UltraPure Grade)

Grapeseed Oil (UltraPure Grade) is a high-purity oil extracted from the seeds of Vitis vinifera. It is a clear, light yellowish to light green oily liquid that is odorless and has a neutral taste, making it an ideal carrier for both pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. This oil is...

Good clarification. All my big Pharma Test is Cottonseed or Sesame.

Would be great to get some Empower GSO data points.

I will leave it to someone else to confirm tentative aldehyde hits above. Looks really bad though. If Axle was serious he would send blank GSO oil (heat following his recipe plus no heat) samples in and take the COA request seriously.

Ironically it’s the labs that take a little heat now, that do something to fix this issue, easily proven, that’ll gain an immediate advantage over their competitors that don’t. I’m sure there’s a mass of silent watchers who now care about oxidation and its inflammatory consequences (just like pharma and regulators take it very seriously, it’s not some theoretical problem) and will vote with their dollars. Who’s going to choose the unknown over a vendor selling gear proven to be safe in this regard? And it’s so easy. Just buy the right oils, get the COA, and if you really want to stand out, at least have the brand of oil you buy tested once to confirm it is what it says. If not they’ll know and can take it up with the seller, and find a good oil, and I’d it does match the COA with low oxidation, post the shit out of the results because you’ve earned bragging rights to “safer gear”.

I’ll add I think this is one major way for domestic UGLs to distinguish themselves over Chinese oils. I don’t think Chinese producers will ever be able to bring themselves to use good oil. There’s a long history of the extremes people will go to save with cheap, garbage oils in China, including for food.

I personally don't think COA's or pictures mean much.

What we need is a 3rd party independent lab that is able to test it (what people purchase) and put it down in writing. I'm sure alot of labs can test for it, but the problem is maintaining OPSEC.

I emailed AB but i doubt they'll reply, we'll see.

Here’s the same report on Test-C 200 in GSO from an FDA licensed compounding pharmacy:



What’s really surprising is GSO is the easiest to oxidize carrier oil and if there is any oxidation, it’s below levels detectable by GCMS. This suggests Jano’s GCMS process doesn’t cause any significant oxidation.

The other sample’s report is in that lab’s thread.

Thread 'GCMS UGL vs. Compounded Rx'

Aug 23, 2025

Ordered @readalot ultimate Chinese reseller detection package (including GCMS, HPLC, BA/BB, Guaiacol) on UGL and Compounded RX Test C 200. UGL is in MCT oil and the compounded RX is in GSO. Compounded Rx was ordered though TRTNation and came from Anazao Health. I wanted to see if compounded was any better than UGL. Doesn’t look like it is. Compounded = 194 mg/ml. @Primal_Pharma = 204 mg/ml.

I am currently holding back some of the pages with the verification codes on them since they have some of them mislabeled. The sample pictures are correct and you can clearly see in the...

As a side note, GSO is a “classic” carrier oil, and in long standing approved recipes compounders can use without requiring special authorization.

However, GSO has been completely phased out by pharma companies since MCT became available at reasonable prices. Quality MCT is extremely resistant to oxidation, while GSO is basically the worst, and goes rancid easily.

Genuine pharma INJECTABLE grade GSO is available, at a premium price, refined to make it as oxidation resistant as is possible. A fresh bottle is guaranteed to come with nearly no oxidation, so it’ll stay within limits for the shelf life of the product.

I would expect compounders to exclusively use the correct GSO, but if they don’t I don’t think I’d be shocked. I guess we’ll find out.

I’d love to see data for a Pfizer or Bayer oil based injectable.

My TRT test comes in GSO/DHEA oil.

My TRT test comes in GSO/DHEA oil.

Compounding pharmacies still use GSO but pharma doesn’t.
