comment on week 81 check-in — 12kg down, injection-site soreness manageable, one thing confusing me in c/coa · 87 points · 11 months ago
What is the method line say? Not the technique, the actual method.
comment on reading stability threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/coldchain · 0 points · 11 months ago
customs clearance often breaks the cold chain, factor that in
comment on week 11 check-in — 31kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/retatrutide · 67 points · 11 months ago
Strongly agree. Heart rate escalation needs the actual data, not impressions.
comment on reading stability threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/coldchain · 133 points · 11 months ago
Crossposting this to c/tapering because the people who need it are not reading this community.
comment on genuine question about tapering that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/tapering · 4 points · 11 months ago
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
comment on three years of purity threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/hplc · 64 points · 1 year ago
axis labels included, always
comment on genuine question about DEXA that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/glp1muscle · 4 points · 1 year ago
This is correct. DEXA is the standard.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify ALT in c/bloodwork · 33 points · 1 year ago
ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first
comment on week 16 check-in — 37kg down, early fullness manageable, one thing confusing me in c/hplc · 572 points · 1 year ago
the gradient is doing the separation work, not the column alone
comment on [Question] timeframe — what am I missing here in c/progresspics · 15 points · 1 year ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with progress, not with what you concluded.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for ferritin posts in c/bloodwork · 65 points · 1 year ago
This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.
comment on [Results] 11 weeks on 7.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/tapering · 35 points · 1 year ago
Small correction: the trial was 10 weeks, not 10. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
comment on cold chain vs data logger — genuinely asking which matters more in c/coldchain · 113 points · 1 year ago
Reconstituted or dry powder?
Adding to this: ice pack is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on tried purity for 20 weeks. here is what happened. in c/hplc · 29 points · 1 year ago
the gradient is doing the separation work, not the column alone
comment on am I the only one who found tapering harder than the injections in c/tapering · 63 points · 1 year ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about dose escalation in c/retatrutide · 77 points · 1 year ago
heart rate and dose escalation need actual measurements, not impressions
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about dose escalation in c/retatrutide · 25 points · 1 year ago
heart rate and dose escalation need actual measurements, not impressions
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 48 weeks to accept.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about dose escalation in c/retatrutide · 7 points · 1 year ago
Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 98.9. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
comment on stalled for 20 weeks at 10mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/bloodwork · 26 points · 1 year ago
eGFR noise during rapid loss is expected
comment on anyone else notice lean mass kicking in around week 24 in c/glp1muscle · 4 points · 1 year ago
resistance training is sarcopenia not optional
