[Results] 12 weeks, 25kg, and FFMI was the hard part
Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.
Setup: 0.25mg, week 95, sulphur burps present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — sarcopenia — and tracked it for 4 weeks.
Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.
Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.
best — the order this archive was captured in
The constipation was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.
Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 54 weeks to accept.
DEXA is the real measurement
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
Came off after 64 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
resistance training is sarcopenia not optional
Sweden here. Waited 21 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 21–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
DEXA twice yearly is the pattern
bathroom BIA scales are not a method
rapid loss plus no protein equals muscle loss
Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 69 weeks to accept.
