[Lab] 13th independent test on BCH, and the trend is the interesting part

Lab Clean Column ×4 Receipts ×3 Slow Clap ×2

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.

I have been tracking tirzepatide against eGFR for 21 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.

Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.

tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.

Cosigning. The GIP contribution is real and the side effects are not simply scaled versions.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

The dual agonism story is real. The appetite is physically different from semaglutide alone.

The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.

Switched from sema at 0.5mg to tirz at 1.0mg. Different drugs, cannot compare the doses directly.

u/kaia_wojcikOP243 points·2 years ago

the appetite change on tirz is more than just reduced hunger, it is different machinery

u/certified_referenceQC443 points·2 years ago

Strongly agree. Tirz is better than sema is not a claim without a comparator dose.

u/zaid_balogun115 points·2 years ago

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

dual agonism is dual agonist, do not generalise from semaglutide

u/neha_falk80 points·2 years ago

No.

Adding to this: Mounjaro is doing more work than the comment implies.

u/kaia_wojcikOP273 points·2 years ago

Strongly agree.

Adding to this: SURPASS is doing more work than the comment implies.

Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.

Hard agree. The food noise disappears differently on the two compounds.

Zepbound and Mounjaro are literally the same drug, the name is the only difference

week 14 on Mounjaro and the appetite profile is genuinely different from sema

the dual agonism hits different and that is why people describe it differently

replysharereportpermalink
u/nz_unfunded114 points·2 years ago

Hard agree.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

SURMOUNT data is messier than STEP data but the weight loss is there

u/titration_marshalmod · c/semaglutide44 points·2 years ago

nope, the equivalence to semaglutide is not known, comparing 15mg tirz to 2.4mg sema is guessing

Crossposting this to c/glp1uk because the people who need it are not reading this community.

stalled on sema, tried tirz, and the curves were actually different shapes

Vial-splitting is on-topic here. Do not ask about pen-cracking, that goes in c/reconstitution.

About c/tirzepatide

Tirzepatide-specific discussion: the dual-agonist pharmacology, the 2.5 → 15mg ladder, the appetite profile people describe as different from semaglutide, and the SURMOUNT/SURPASS trial programme. Comparisons with semaglutide are welcome as long as they are specific about dose equivalence being unknown.

c/tirzepatide rules
  1. "Tirz is better than sema" needs a comparator dose or it is a vibe, not a claim.
  2. Vial-splitting and self-compounding discussion stays in c/reconstitution.
  3. No pen-cracking tutorials. Discussing that people do it is fine; instructions are not.
  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.
