[Milestone] first time in a decade my blood pressure is normal
goal. That is the whole post, but I will justify it. Everything else people worry about in c/hplc is downstream of it. Titration speed, muscle cramps, the endless dose…

near-zero controlled human data, full stop
comment on [Sceptic] the tendon claims outran the evidence by about a decade in c/bpc157 · 2 points · 2 days ago
Slight fix: the number was 96.8, not 98.0. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
comment on [Caution] stacking with a sulfonylurea is a real hypo risk, not a theoretical one in c/t2dglp1 · 31 points · 3 days ago
Strongly agree.
Adding to this: A1c is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on [Private Rx] the online consultation asked me nothing. that is not safe. in c/glp1uk · 1 points · 3 days ago
the two-year waiting list is accurate for most of England
comment on [Explainer] delayed gastric emptying does most of the work people credit to the brain in c/glp1science · 6 points · 3 days ago
The half-life is 13 hours, which means week 13 is genuinely still ramp-up. Week 12 is steady state.
comment on [Failure] 61.2% purity on a vial i had already been using for six weeks in c/darkspot · 48 points · 6 days ago
Came off after 49 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.
comment on [Lab] identity confirmed but net peptide content was 71% in c/bpc157 · 45 points · 15 days ago
the sequence variation is the real issue
comment on [Lab] LC-MS confirmed identity but the UV purity is 94%. now what in c/hplc · 1 points · 16 days ago
co-elution is real and gradient is usually not enough to resolve it
comment on glucagon receptor agonism raising energy expenditure — how solid is that in c/glp1science · 45 points · 20 days 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 [Discussion] we talk about dose like it is a score and it is not in c/semaglutide · 49 points · 25 days ago
Right, and the corollary is that stopping escalation does not reset your tolerance, it just pauses the clock.
comment on [Explainer] why an oral non-peptide escapes the absorption problem entirely in c/glp1science · 194 points · 25 days ago
incretin physiology is pharmacology, the mechanism layer
comment on my ApoB moved and I cannot work out whether private prescription is why in c/glp1uk · 8 points · 26 days ago
This is correct. Private and NHS pathways are different.
comment on [PSA] A1c is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/t2dglp1 · 18 points · 1 months ago
How many weeks between the two measurements?
comment on [Struggle] hit goal and immediately felt worse. did not expect that. in c/progresspics · 36 points · 1 months ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
comment on [Milestone] came off two blood pressure meds and one statin in c/progresspics · 117 points · 1 months ago
Yeah, text-only removes the comparison.
comment on why does nobody talk about Ozempic in c/semaglutide · 17 points · 2 months ago
week 91 on the pen, 12kg down, this is the answer
comment on regulatory is the most under-discussed thing in c/meta in c/bpc157 · 20 points · 2 months ago
handlers in the community are rare and cautious
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about HPLC in c/hplc · 344 points · 2 months ago
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
comment on my TSH moved and I cannot work out whether stopped is why in c/darkspot · 6 points · 2 months ago
the lesson is the point
