comment on unpopular opinion: lost money is massively overrated in c/darkspot · 120 points · 3 months ago
still evidence-based: what went wrong, when, proof
comment on titration — 20 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/semaglutide · 11 points · 3 months ago
the injection-site soreness passes. i promise. not medical advice.
comment on Germany: sequence, and what it actually costs here in c/bpc157 · 16 points · 3 months ago
This is correct. The naming is genuinely confusing.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about what went wrong in c/darkspot · 25 points · 4 months ago
decisions people would not make again
comment on what changed for me between week 70 and week 18 in c/newbiequestions · 52 points · 4 months ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
comment on week 86 check-in — 26kg down, fatigue manageable, one thing confusing me in c/glp1women · 1 points · 4 months ago
I am going to push back on this slightly.
comment on week one is the most under-discussed thing in c/glp1science in c/newbiequestions · 43 points · 4 months ago
Mechanistically the bit that matters is what is. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
comment on below spec — 5 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/darkspot · 52 points · 5 months ago
This is correct. Evidence still required.
comment on help me understand 2.4mg, I have read the wiki twice in c/semaglutide · 0 points · 5 months ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
comment on three years of regulatory threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/bpc157 · 99 points · 6 months ago
the sequence variation is the real issue
comment on three years of regulatory threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/bpc157 · 131 points · 6 months ago
[removed by moderator]
Disagree on that part. 95.1% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.
comment on three years of regulatory threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/bpc157 · 64 points · 6 months ago
regulatory status changed in 8 countries, check yours
comment on my ALT moved and I cannot work out whether stopped is why in c/darkspot · 8 points · 6 months ago
The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.
comment on 6 months in and fertility is still the thing I get wrong in c/glp1women · 1 points · 7 months ago
hormonal contraception interactions are speculative
comment on [Question] insulin resistance — what am I missing here in c/glp1women · 7 points · 7 months ago
Crossposting this to c/progresspics because the people who need it are not reading this community.
comment on switched from 15mg to 12.5mg and the reflux got better, not worse in c/semaglutide · 5 points · 7 months ago
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to
comment on rodent data: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/bpc157 · 98 points · 8 months ago
Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.
comment on [PSA] receptor is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/glp1science · 41 points · 8 months ago
central appetite signalling is real but people overweight it
comment on someone explain stopped to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/darkspot · 34 points · 9 months ago
The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.
comment on am I the only one who found rodent data harder than the injections in c/bpc157 · 19 points · 9 months ago
research use only, no human protocols, no injection instructions
