comment on is it normal to get nausea at week 85 in c/retatrutide · 15 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, phase 2 retatrutide is interesting but it is not comparable to phase 3 compounds.
comment on three years of triple agonist threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/retatrutide · 663 points · 1 year ago
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
comment on stalled for 8 weeks at 12.5mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/bloodwork · 433 points · 1 year ago
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about lipids in c/bloodwork · 54 points · 1 year ago
This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.
comment on anyone else notice SURMOUNT kicking in around week 80 in c/tirzepatide · 1 points · 1 year ago
SURMOUNT data is messier than STEP data but the weight loss is there
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring bloodwork at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/bloodwork · 49 points · 1 year ago
What are your reference ranges?
comment on three years of ApoB threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/bloodwork · 45 points · 1 year ago
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
comment on [PSA] TRIUMPH is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/retatrutide · -11 points · 1 year ago
The glucagon component does different things than dual agonism. The constipation are not just amplified versions.
comment on [PSA] TRIUMPH is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/retatrutide · 17 points · 1 year ago
What was the dosing schedule in that arm?
comment on [PSA] TRIUMPH is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/retatrutide · 34 points · 1 year ago
research use only, handling and analysis, not protocols
comment on my triglycerides moved and I cannot work out whether ferritin is why in c/bloodwork · 182 points · 2 years ago
ferritin tanks quietly on a reduced appetite, check it
comment on switched from 1.0mg to 2.5mg and the fatigue got better, not worse in c/retatrutide · 6 points · 2 years ago
What was the dosing schedule in that arm?
comment on is it normal to get the food-noise thing at week 15 in c/retatrutide · 27 points · 2 years ago
The heart rate signal in TRIUMPH is real and concerning. Higher doses had higher mean HR changes.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about baseline labs in c/bloodwork · 476 points · 2 years ago
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.
comment on [Discussion] dual agonist is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/tirzepatide · 43 points · 2 years ago
SURMOUNT data is messier than STEP data but the weight loss is there
comment on what changed for me between week 65 and week 13 in c/retatrutide · 1.3k points · 2 years ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with phase 2, not with what you concluded.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring Zepbound at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/tirzepatide · 1 points · 2 years ago
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
comment on retatrutide — my 13-week log, condensed into one table in c/retatrutide · 1 points · 2 years ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 13 weeks to accept.

retatrutide is not approved anywhere for human use, posts must not read as instructions
