Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom. I have been tracking progress against triglycerides for 15 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is…

comment on [Question] discontinuation — what am I missing here in c/tapering · 7 points · 8 months ago
Stalled for 19 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 62.
comment on goal — my 15-week log, condensed into one table in c/progresspics · 503 points · 8 months ago
the community is deliberately image-free
comment on goal — my 15-week log, condensed into one table in c/progresspics · 311 points · 8 months ago
the goal change matters as much as the scale
comment on small win: packaging stopped being a problem at week 66 in c/coldchain · 138 points · 9 months ago
This is correct. Dry powder is way more robust than liquid.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for packaging posts in c/coldchain · 99 points · 9 months ago
Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.
comment on ice pack: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/coldchain · 6 points · 11 months ago
lyophilised powder is far more forgiving than reconstituted solution
comment on [Lab] SGN sema — VendorInvestigate came back 93.7% against a claimed 98.6% in c/bloodwork · 372 points · 11 months ago
What are your reference ranges?
comment on week 81 check-in — 12kg down, injection-site soreness manageable, one thing confusing me in c/coa · 87 points · 11 months ago
What is the method line say? Not the technique, the actual method.
comment on reading stability threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/coldchain · 0 points · 11 months ago
customs clearance often breaks the cold chain, factor that in
comment on week 11 check-in — 31kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/retatrutide · 67 points · 11 months ago
Strongly agree. Heart rate escalation needs the actual data, not impressions.
comment on reading stability threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/coldchain · 133 points · 11 months ago
Crossposting this to c/tapering because the people who need it are not reading this community.
comment on genuine question about tapering that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/tapering · 4 points · 11 months ago
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
comment on three years of purity threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/hplc · 64 points · 1 year ago
axis labels included, always
comment on genuine question about DEXA that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/glp1muscle · 4 points · 1 year ago
This is correct. DEXA is the standard.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify ALT in c/bloodwork · 33 points · 1 year ago
ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first
comment on week 16 check-in — 37kg down, early fullness manageable, one thing confusing me in c/hplc · 572 points · 1 year ago
the gradient is doing the separation work, not the column alone
comment on [Question] timeframe — what am I missing here in c/progresspics · 15 points · 1 year ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with progress, not with what you concluded.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for ferritin posts in c/bloodwork · 65 points · 1 year ago
This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.
comment on [Results] 11 weeks on 7.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/tapering · 35 points · 1 year ago
Small correction: the trial was 10 weeks, not 10. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
