[Vendor] KP vs BCH on the same compound, same month, one test each
I have had 18 orders now and I keep a table, so here is the honest summary rather than a vibe.
Material has been consistent. Communication has not. Shipping has varied by about 4 days on nominally the same lane, which matters more in summer than in February.
The independent number came back 96.8% against a claimed 97.2%, which I read as agreement rather than a discrepancy — inter-lab variance on this assay is a point or two either way and treating one lab as ground truth is how people end up in pointless arguments with vendors.
Batch number is in the comments. Ask if you want the method.
best — the order this archive was captured in
This matches my experience almost exactly on the Ozempic pens. The titration is the whole point.
Slight fix: the number was 96.8, not 96.8. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
Not to be pedantic but weekly dosing and semaglutide are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
This matches my experience almost exactly on the Ozempic pens.
Adding to this: Ozempic is doing more work than the comment implies.
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
Kept a public log for 22 weeks. The comments are what kept it going, honestly. Accountability from strangers works.
Strongly agree. If it is not working at 5mg after 33 weeks, going up is not automatically the answer.
This is what I tell everyone in c/newbiequestions and they never believe me until week 39.
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
my triglycerides moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it
Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 98.9. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
Right, and the corollary is that stopping escalation does not reset your tolerance, it just pauses the clock.
stalled at 1.0mg, went up, and regretted it, the stall would have broken anyway
Cosigning. The slow route gets the outcome, the fast route gets you the side effects.
week 64 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder
okay but what dose of sema are you on
my hs-CRP moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it
pens are overpriced, research vials are research grade, same molecule different price
week 64 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
titration speed is titration plus side effects, period
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
okay but what dose of sema are you on
Not to be pedantic but Wegovy and weekly dosing are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
What was the method? "HPLC" is a technique, not a method.
week 95 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder
Yeah, 18 weeks on 2.5mg, same pattern, same timing.
