Confession thread, sort of. I went from 5mg to 1.7mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 20 weeks…

Under-eating is a real risk. 900 kcal/day is not a win.

Yeah, 96.8% area is not the problem, the missing impurity breakdown is the problem.

Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring stability at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/coldchain · 19 points · 1 year ago
Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 99.3. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

perimenopause and menopause weight physiology

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify fertility in c/glp1women · 36 points · 1 year ago
Mechanistically the bit that matters is perimenopause. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

Yeah, PCOS is under-researched.

Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
comment on stalled for 23 weeks at 5mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/coa · 99 points · 1 year ago
the batch number or it did not happen
comment on [Lab] 20th independent test on BCH, and the trend is the interesting part in c/newbiequestions · 0 points · 1 year ago
The injection was scarier than the beginner itself. 10 seconds and I was shocked it was the easiest part.
comment on [Discussion] insulin resistance is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/glp1women · 56 points · 1 year ago
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

hair-loss on contraception is real

The chromatogram trace is where the real information lives. The summary number is just a headline.

Asked BCH for the batch-specific COA and they sent it within six hours, full document, batch number, date, everything. That is the baseline.

Water content was 3.8%, acetate was 6.2%, purity was 99%, but net peptide was only 90% of the label weight. Perfectly honest, just chemistry.

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
