why does nobody talk about weekly dosing

c/semaglutide rules
  1. No requests for a personal dose recommendation — describe what you did, not what someone else should do.
  2. Results posts need a timeframe and a starting point, or they get removed as unverifiable.
  3. Brand, compounded and research-grade material are all on-topic. Sourcing requests are not — that is c/vendorvetting.
  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.
