tried satiety for 2 weeks. here is what happened.

Caution Slow Clap ×4 The Quiet One ×3

tried satiety for 2 weeks. here is what happened. I have gone back and forth on this for months.

The relevant figures are 2 weeks, and they come from the same log I have kept the whole time.

Amylin is co-secreted with insulin and acts on satiety and gastric emptying through its own receptor complexes. An amylin analogue is therefore not a variant of an incretin agonist — it is a different signalling axis.

The engineering problem was duration: native amylin is short-acting and aggregation-prone. A long-acting analogue suitable for weekly administration is what makes the combination clinically interesting.

Tell me where this is wrong. That is the useful part of posting it.

Dosing intuitions from the GLP-1 boards do not transfer. Different receptor family, different exposure-response, and no published schedule for members to reason from.

Independent result added to the log. Thank you for paying for it — there are very few on this compound.

Small fix — amylin analogue, not a GLP-1 analogue. The whole mechanism argument changes on that word.

Is there any independent purity data on this compound that you have seen?

u/incretin_ivypharmacology51 points·4 months ago

The honest state of the evidence on this board, since somebody should write it down.

Published clinical data exists and is genuinely interesting, particularly in combination. Independent purity data from members is thin — a handful of results across the whole site, against hundreds for the older molecules. Nothing containing this compound is approved as a standalone product, and research-use-only material is not approved for human use.

What follows practically: buy small if you buy at all, test what you get and post the result, and treat confident rankings against established compounds as the extrapolation they are. The board gets better as the log fills, and right now the log is nearly empty.

Not convinced. Amylin signalling is not a GLP-1 pathway and the mechanism you are proposing conflates them.

u/elin_lundgren11 points·4 months ago

Independent purity data on this compound is sparse compared with the older molecules, simply because far fewer members have paid for testing. Sparse data means wide uncertainty, not a verdict.

Complementary mechanisms are the rationale for pairing: satiety signalling alongside incretin signalling, rather than more agonism at the same receptor.

Are you comparing against a GLP-1 monotherapy result? They are not comparable.

u/slow_logbook_notes3025 points·4 months ago

This. Complementary mechanisms rather than more of the same is the actual argument for the pairing.

Agreed that the monotherapy numbers look modest out of context and that the context is the whole story.

Agreed, and the combination arms are where the interesting numbers actually live.

do not assume the dosing intuitions from the GLP-1 boards transfer

u/laila_dumitru12 points·4 months ago

How many separate lots has anyone here tested?

replysharereportpermalink
u/liv_dumitru10 points·4 months ago

Asked a question here that turned out to be based on a mechanism confusion. Three people untangled it patiently.

Monotherapy arm or combination arm?

nausea profile in the combination trials is the thing to read carefully

Carried an assumption over from the tirzepatide board and was corrected within an hour. Deserved.

Which receptor family are you attributing that effect to?

Amylin analog pharmacology and the CagriSema combination: why amylin and GLP-1 co-agonism produces a different satiety profile, the REDEFINE readouts, and the very limited pool of people handling cagrilintide as research material.

c/cagrilintide rules
  1. Amylin is not a GLP-1. Posts conflating them get corrected.
  2. CagriSema ratios in trials are fixed-dose. Do not extrapolate to self-mixing.
  3. Not approved anywhere. Keep posts descriptive, not instructional.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
