does PBS actually matter or is it forum lore at this point

PBS Clean Column ×5

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/customs repeats that shortage is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 6 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Came off after 64 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

Maintenance for 21 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.
