API source questions are on-topic and compounders dodging them is newsworthy

absolute risk reduction, not relative risk reduction, that is how you decide

Strongly agree. Phase 2 is investigational, not conclusive.

text removes the comparison trap

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

Disagree on that part. 94.2% and 95.1% on the same vial is normal.

Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.

the 9 month ALT check is the routine

regulatory claims need a citation to the actual rule, not interpretation

a dispute resolves, edit the post and say so

Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.

fake COAs always have the same tell: perfect results, zero variance

Slight fix: the number was 95.1, not 94.2. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

STEP 1 readout: 96.2% mean weight loss, absolute numbers matter. Spread around that mean is enormous.

Mechanistically the bit that matters is group buy.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

That is net peptide content, not purity.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points.

Disagree on that part. 98.1% and 98.4% on the same vial is normal.

the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again

The telehealth + compounding combo cost 503B plus 12% markup. Not cheap but covered by insurance depending on state.

telehealth costs 503A plus compounding markup, total varies

Disagree on that part. 98.1% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.

ferritin tanks quietly on a reduced appetite, check it
