[Question] Australia — has anyone got a straight answer on secretagogue

Question Well Actually ×5

Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.

Setup: 1.7mg, week 19, constipation present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — secretagogue — and tracked it for 19 weeks.

Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.

Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

purity and identity are two questions

Stalled for 10 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 15.

Adding to this: handling is doing more work than the comment implies.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 33 weeks to accept.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

Yeah, identity is the first question.

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

Strongly agree. Evidence level matters.

u/naomi_antonsen30 points·1 year ago

Slight fix: the number was 98.0, not 98.1. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

focus on identity verification, handling, evidence state

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

Came off after 69 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

About c/researchpeptides

The wider research-peptide catalogue: thymosin fragments, GH secretagogues, melanocortin agonists, and the long tail of three-letter analogs. Focus on identity verification, handling and the state of the evidence — not on protocols, because these are not approved for human use.

c/researchpeptides rules
  1. Research use only. Handling and analysis, not administration.
  2. Name the compound precisely. "TB-500" and "Thymosin Beta-4" are not the same product.
  3. Evidence-level statements required: in vitro, rodent, or human.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.

Before you read on

Several compounds discussed on GLP Research Hub are sold for research use only and are not approved for human use anywhere. Nothing here is medical advice and none of it is written by your clinician. If a post reads like an instruction, treat it as a description of what one stranger did.
