LW SN Blood Test (for those curious)

[lucacaro]

So if any of you know the brand LW that sells SN and were curious about the blood test here are my results. The listing says its 99.6% pure but I decided to try this anyways. I have heard from some that the blood test isn't always reliable but I think this was a pretty good test.

Also if anyone is going to come to my PMs looking for this SN do not bother if you are outside the US. This brand seems to only ship to the US so I'm sorry I can't help people in other countries.

•The first picture is just my plain normal blood nothing added.

•The second picture is when I put a pinch of SN inside. You can see where grains had fallen in and turned little spots brown. This happened instantly.

•The third picture is seconds later + me stirring it in some to spread it more evenly.

•Added a fourth picture of a few minutes later after I poked/scraped at the blood with a pin. Not really important but just wanted to throw it in. Can't tell if the weird textures are just normal blood things or due to SN. It seems a bit gummy so might just be normal blood things.

The lighting may not be the best but in real life the blood is a good dark brown - looks like motor oil as I've seen others describe it (was it motor oil? lol?). Also just out of curiosity i poked my finger into my SN pile and licked it and yeah it's salty haha.

Thank you for posting. I have a bottle of SN from LW and a bottle from E G Lab. I have been afraid to open them to test because I wasn't sure if that would do any harm between now and CTB. The bottle I have from E G lab is all clumped up, but the LW seems good. Seems like your test worked well.
I hope all goes smoothly for you.

I think LW is legit and respected company. Anyone should be fine using them.

Thankyou for posting this though, I'm sure you've put some minds at rest.

I think you can open your bottle for a very very short amount of time but not often and it should be ok. But I'd still recommend keeping it sealed anyways just in case because I don't know for sure. Also I don't think clumping really means it lacks quality I think that just happens. My LW SN is a little bit clumped - I used a clumped chunk for this test.

I wasn't able to easily find anything about their reputation and even if I had I get anxiety over these sorts of things and I like it to be perfect so I did this test anyways. I hope it helps others like me.

Thank you for sharing this, looks good.

What are you looking for in this test. Is it blood clumping due to lack of oxygen or a colour change or both.

I'm not that confident with my order so this could be a quick and easy test without spending more money.

Thanks.

I'm not really sure if the texture of the blood really mattered so what I was looking for was color. If it's a good enough purity your blood should turn into a dark brown (I've also seen it described as blue-ish brown, though I did not see a blue tint in mine which I'm sure is fine). I believe this is showcasing how it looks when the hemoglobin in your blood turns into methemoglobin which is what you want.

Also another picture reference that may help:

(Sorry to bump this post)

I would add this to my post but I can no longer edit it. For those of you buying LW SN you should order it from the LW site itself. I bought it on another very popular site and it cost me $26 (for 4 ounces) but after buying more today I realize their actual site seems to do free shipping so its only $19.99. I feel silly for my wasted 6 dollars lol.

I'm glad for you but I'm in the UK so I'm really giving up hope of ever getting my hands on the stuff.

Thank you for this. I've had LW and HM SN for a while now but never tested them. Definitely going with the LW after seeing this!
