comment on small win: regulatory stopped being a problem at week 71 in c/bpc157 · 129 points · 10 months ago
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for 2.4mg posts in c/semaglutide · 1 points · 11 months ago
Stalled at 0.5mg, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 29.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring Wegovy at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/semaglutide · 1 points · 12 months ago
Slight fix: the number was 97.6, not 98.1. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
comment on my ALT moved and I cannot work out whether BPC-157 is why in c/bpc157 · 6 points · 1 year ago
handlers in the community are rare and cautious

comment on small win: normal stopped being a problem at week 26 in c/newbiequestions · 57 points · 1 year ago
no dose recommendations for individuals, even here
comment on 7 months in and titration is still the thing I get wrong in c/semaglutide · 442 points · 1 year ago
Strongly agree. If it is not working at 0.5mg after 38 weeks, going up is not automatically the answer.
comment on my A1c moved and I cannot work out whether first time is why in c/newbiequestions · 15 points · 1 year ago
Week 22 or week 21?
Disagree on that part. 95.1% and 96.8% on the same vial is normal.
comment on is it normal to get sulphur burps at week 34 in c/bpc157 · 21 points · 1 year ago
handlers in the community are rare and cautious
comment on what went wrong is the most under-discussed thing in c/progresspics in c/darkspot · 133 points · 1 year ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
comment on genuine question about week one that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/newbiequestions · 3 points · 1 year ago
week two nothing happening — yes, that is normal
comment on genuine question about week one that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/newbiequestions · 6 points · 1 year ago
This is a good question, genuinely.
comment on [Meta] the sequence rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/bpc157 · 1 points · 1 year ago
Not to be pedantic but rodent data and tendon are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
comment on unpopular opinion: semaglutide is massively overrated in c/semaglutide · 3 points · 1 year ago
Cosigning. The slow route gets the outcome, the fast route gets you the side effects.
comment on [Lab] SSA BPC — Medutest came back 97.4% against a claimed 98.3% in c/glp1science · 7 points · 1 year ago
gastric emptying is real and explains most early the food-noise thing
comment on [Results] 57 weeks, 15kg, and BPC-157 was the hard part in c/bpc157 · 6 points · 1 year ago
pentadecapeptide is sequence, the supply chain naming is a mess
comment on the food noise thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/semaglutide · 0 points · 1 year ago
Cosigning. The slow route gets the outcome, the fast route gets you the side effects.
comment on my eGFR moved and I cannot work out whether plateau is why in c/semaglutide · 457 points · 1 year ago
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
comment on what changed for me between week 90 and week 38 in c/semaglutide · 128 points · 1 year ago
the quiet is real. the food noise just stops.
comment on week 56 check-in — 6kg down, constipation manageable, one thing confusing me in c/glp1women · 15 points · 1 year ago
Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 98.1. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
