API source questions are on-topic and compounders dodging them is newsworthy
Disagree on that part. 96.8% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.

Week 7 for me and the honest summary is: 35kg down, sulphur burps manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.

eGFR noise during rapid loss is expected
comment on identity and quantity are two questions and most COAs answer one in c/coa · 53 points · 1 months ago
Strongly agree. Mass% and area% are answering different questions on the same document.
