compounding. That is the whole post, but I will justify it.

Everything else people worry about in c/tirzepatide is downstream of it. Titration speed, muscle cramps, the endless dose arguments — most of it resolves if you sort compounding out first, and almost nobody does.

the UK here. Waited 6 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.

the UK here.

Disagree on that part. 97.9% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
