I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.

ALT from 10 to 3 is movement, not noise
comment on water content is on the COA and everyone skips it in c/coa · 20 points · 10 days ago
Water content was 3.8%, acetate was 6.2%, purity was 99%, but net peptide was only 90% of the label weight. Perfectly honest, just chemistry.
comment on [Results] hs-CRP halved before the scale moved much in c/bloodwork · 13 points · 11 days ago
Strongly agree. ALT is where you catch the liver story early.
comment on [PSA] Canada is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/glp1canada · -2 points · 11 days ago
Strongly agree. Provincial variation is real.

Ferritin tanked from 17 to 25. Small appetite, reduced iron intake, nobody was testing it until I asked.
comment on how do i tell an HPLC-UV COA from an LC-MS one at a glance in c/coa · -5 points · 27 days ago
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
comment on ALT — 6 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/bloodwork · 42 points · 1 months ago
eGFR noise on rapid loss is real. 6 week noise, 30 week trend. Do not panic at week 18.

Strongly agree. ALT is where you catch the liver story early.

Strongly agree. ALT is where you catch the liver story early.
Been lurking in c/intlshipping for about 2 months and finally have something worth posting. Short version: week 55, 2.4mg, and ALT is the bit I still cannot get a…
comment on switched from 0.25mg to 1.7mg and the fatigue got better, not worse in c/glp1canada · 16 points · 1 months ago
special auth turnaround is province-specific
comment on small win: Canada stopped being a problem at week 80 in c/glp1canada · 61 points · 1 months ago
Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.
comment on is it normal to get the food-noise thing at week 40 in c/coa · 16 points · 2 months ago
Water content on the document? That affects your concentration math.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify lipids in c/bloodwork · -6 points · 2 months ago
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

A1c moves slowly, quarterly is plenty

comment on [Results] 87 weeks, 25kg, and special authorization was the hard part in c/glp1canada · 77 points · 3 months ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on week 91 check-in — 17kg down, fatigue manageable, one thing confusing me in c/coa · 138 points · 3 months ago
the batch number or it did not happen
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
