comment on interesting rodent data, almost no human data, both things are true in c/bpc157 · 2 points · 23 hr ago
the pentadecapeptide rodent evidence is solid, human evidence is not
comment on what does titration actually mean in c/newbiequestions · 1 points · 2 days ago
the first time question is not dumb
comment on mg ÷ mL, that is the whole formula, why did i find this hard in c/reconstitution · 16 points · 2 days ago
Disagree.
Adding to this: concentration is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on [Lab] three BPC vials, three vendors, purity all over the place in c/bpc157 · 27 points · 2 days ago
Week 66 for me and the honest summary is: 44kg down, early fullness manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.
comment on [Lab] three BPC vials, three vendors, purity all over the place in c/bpc157 · 17 points · 3 days 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 week two, nothing is happening, everyone says that is normal, is it in c/newbiequestions · 5 points · 4 days ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on [Correction] the concentration table going round is off by a factor of ten in c/reconstitution · 13 points · 5 days ago
Is that 30mg vial or 37mg?
comment on [Correction] the concentration table going round is off by a factor of ten in c/reconstitution · 14 points · 6 days ago
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 48 weeks to accept.
comment on is it normal to be this scared of the first injection in c/newbiequestions · 2 points · 10 days ago
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
comment on [PSA] semaglutide salt forms are not the same molecule as semaglutide in c/compounding · 90 points · 17 days ago
shortage list status is 503A, check the actual list
comment on [Meta] the API source rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/compounding · 43 points · 27 days ago
The telehealth + compounding combo cost state board plus 18% markup. Not cheap but covered by insurance depending on state.
comment on reading API source threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/compounding · 21 points · 29 days ago
the Sweden situation is different from the US, different regulations
comment on units — my 8-week log, condensed into one table in c/reconstitution · 136 points · 1 months ago
Two vials, two different concentrations, forgot which was which, almost made a 20 times error. Now I label everything.
comment on [Lab] SSA BPC — Medutest came back 97.4% against a claimed 96.2% in c/bpc157 · 5 points · 1 months ago
sequence and naming claims need the actual sequence
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about week one in c/newbiequestions · 11 points · 1 months ago
link the wiki instead of retyping, but politely
comment on [Results] 26 weeks on 5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/reconstitution · 44 points · 1 months ago
Are you using a u-100 or u-40 syringe? That changes everything.
comment on [Meta] the 503A rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/compounding · 99 points · 1 months ago
Asked 16 compounders about API source. One told me, one dodged, one said they cannot say. The answer is the signal.
comment on [Discussion] the first time advice in here is 14 years out of date in c/newbiequestions · 1 points · 2 months ago
The injection was scarier than the beginner itself. 22 seconds and I was shocked it was the easiest part.
comment on anyone else notice API source kicking in around week 89 in c/compounding · 56 points · 2 months ago
Moved states and the compounding landscape changed completely. Different rules, different pharmacies, different costs.

telehealth prescriber models exist, pricing differs by state
