[Results] 12 weeks, 31kg, and identity was the hard part

Discussion Well Actually ×1 Receipts ×3

Week 58 update. 19kg down from the start, early fullness basically gone since about week 15.

Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with early fullness.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

Yeah, identity is the first question.

Did anything else change in the same window?

Yeah, identity is the first question.

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

focus on identity verification, handling, evidence state

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

Small correction: the trial was 4 weeks, not 4. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

I am going to push back on this slightly.

I am going to push back on this slightly.

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

The injection-site soreness was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.

name the compound precisely, TB-500 and Thymosin Beta-4 are not the same

The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.

the thymosin literature is thin on humans

supply-chain naming is a mess, ask for HPLC

u/slow_logbook_notes3047 points·11 months ago

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with research peptides, not with what you concluded.

u/line_bergstrom28 points·11 months ago

Disagree.

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

u/naomi_antonsen18 points·11 months ago

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

replysharereportpermalink
u/crp_curious16 points·11 months ago

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

replysharereportpermalink
u/adaeze_brandt24 points·11 months ago

This is correct. Name it precisely.
