Poland here.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 60 weeks to accept.
comment on the packaging question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/coldchain · 2 points · 7 months ago
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 5–5.

comment on unpopular opinion: pricing is massively overrated in c/glp1uk · 78 points · 9 months ago

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