comment on reta phase 2 was -24.2% at 48 weeks and people quote it like it is a maintenance number in c/retatrutide · 100 points · 2 days ago
nobody should be giving this to anyone without extensive monitoring
comment on [Results] ALT 34 → 19 in seven months, nothing else changed in c/bloodwork · 2 points · 3 days ago
HOMA-IR is crude but free and useful for tracking
comment on [PSA] no tracking numbers. they identify both ends. removed on sight. in c/intlshipping · 216 points · 4 days ago
DHL is faster but transit time, EMS is slower but cheaper
comment on [Explainer] lyophilised powder is far more forgiving than you think in c/coldchain · 52 points · 4 days ago
customs clearance often breaks the cold chain, factor that in
comment on [Training] three full-body sessions a week through the whole cut in c/glp1muscle · 32 points · 4 days ago
Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.
comment on [Question] does carrier choice matter more than origin city in c/intlshipping · 20 points · 5 days ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on [Explainer] lyophilised powder is far more forgiving than you think in c/coldchain · 1 points · 5 days ago
Yeah, data logger is the only acceptable proof.
comment on [Trial Data] TRIUMPH timeline — what we actually know vs what gets repeated in c/retatrutide · 204 points · 5 days ago
Yeah, phase 2 retatrutide is interesting but it is not comparable to phase 3 compounds.
comment on [Discussion] FFMI not weight, or you will celebrate losing muscle in c/glp1muscle · 20 points · 9 days ago
protein targets in g/kg
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on [Lane Report] Wuxi → Germany, 8 days, best packaging i have seen in c/intlshipping · 20 points · 11 days ago
comment on came off reta after 14 weeks. here is the honest version. in c/retatrutide · 1 points · 11 days ago
the dosing is steep, the the food-noise thing reports are real, and nobody knows the human safety yet
comment on came off reta after 14 weeks. here is the honest version. in c/retatrutide · 7 points · 11 days ago
Not to be pedantic but retatrutide and glucagon are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
comment on [Training] kept my deadlift, lost the belly, ate a lot of chicken in c/glp1muscle · 2 points · 14 days ago
DEXA twice yearly is the pattern
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for retatrutide posts in c/retatrutide · -12 points · 16 days ago
This is correct. Triple agonism is genuinely different.
comment on the dose escalation thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/retatrutide · 4 points · 17 days ago
triple agonism is retatrutide, do not generalise
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 73 weeks to accept.
comment on [Data] packaging quality by vendor, scored on five things, 60 shipments in c/intlshipping · 45 points · 22 days ago
Customs held the package for 21 days. No problems, just time. Factor it into expectations.
comment on three years of lane threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/intlshipping · 28 points · 24 days ago
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 22–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
comment on anyone else notice shipping kicking in around week 90 in c/intlshipping · 7 points · 1 months ago
Actual days or estimated?
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about external review in c/insurancefights · 4 points · 1 months ago
Strongly agree. Step therapy is predictable if you have the criteria.
comment on why does nobody talk about lane in c/intlshipping · 3 points · 1 months ago
SWB ships from Denmark, arrival is 6 to 24 days on average
