unpopular opinion: personal import is massively overrated
Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.
I have been tracking customs against triglycerides for 7 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.
Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.
tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 10–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
the customs status depends on what happens at the border
Not to be pedantic but jurisdiction and customs are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
The muscle cramps was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.
