genuine question about TRIUMPH that I am slightly embarrassed to ask

Lab Receipts ×9 Cold Box ×1 Clean Column ×1

genuine question about TRIUMPH that I am slightly embarrassed to ask. I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Increases in heart rate have been reported across this receptor class. The magnitude and clinical significance are exactly what phase 3 is powered to establish.

Phase 2 estimates effect and finds a dose range. Phase 3 estimates it precisely in a bigger population and catches what phase 2 was too small to see. Treating them as the same tier of evidence is the recurring error here.

Nothing containing this compound is approved anywhere. Research-use-only material is not approved for human use, and that is a statement of fact rather than a disclaimer.

Research-use-only material is not approved for human use and nothing here should be read as a recommendation to use it.

The phase 2 readout ran to 48 weeks in a few hundred participants with a slow escalation. Both the size and the duration matter when people quote the headline number.

Which phase 2 arm are you quoting, and at what week?

u/yannick_salinas257 points·1 year ago

Are you tracking heart rate at all?

u/ismael_eriksen97 points·1 year ago

nothing here is available as a prescription product, so read every thread with that in mind

u/mateusz_mensah26 points·1 year ago

What is the source for that figure — the published paper or a summary of it?

u/marit_laurentOP-8 points·1 year ago

Is that the 48-week figure or an earlier readout?

heart rate is the thing people report watching

Sceptical of the extrapolation. Forty-eight weeks does not tell you about seventy-two, and the curve shape is exactly what is unknown.

u/viktor_laurent177 points·1 year ago

How fast was the escalation? That is usually the variable that explains the reports.

Where the evidence actually stands, since every thread here assumes a different answer.

Phase 2 reported a large mean body weight change at 48 weeks across a few hundred participants with a slow, protocol-driven escalation. The effect size was striking. The confidence intervals were wide, the population was small, and the duration was under a year.

Phase 3 is running. Until it reports, everything else — including the ranking arguments this board loves — is extrapolation from a small study. That is not a criticism of the compound; it is a description of the evidence.

the escalation is where most of the reported trouble sits

What do you think the glucagon component is adding, specifically?

replysharereportpermalink
u/yannick_salinas23 points·1 year ago

the glucagon component is why the metabolic story reads differently

replysharereportpermalink
u/helga_vermeulen166 points·1 year ago

wait for phase 3 before you argue about rankings

u/reta_and_regretMOD108 points·1 year ago

Removed the escalation schedule. There is no published protocol for members to follow and inventing one here is exactly what this board does not do.

u/marit_laurentOP82 points·1 year ago

Removed the escalation schedule.

Agreed, and the glucagon arm is exactly why the comparison threads do not work.

u/reta_and_regret24 points·1 year ago

dose escalation in the trials was slow for a reason

u/farid_molnar67 points·1 year ago

a lot of the confident posting here is extrapolation

u/tired_ledger_notes34 points·1 year ago

the TRIUMPH programme is still running, so anything definitive is premature

replysharereportpermalink
u/trialwatch_theotrial nerd28 points·1 year ago

Disagree. "More receptors means more effect" is not how any of this works and the trial data does not support the linear story.

u/bastian_ekstrom27 points·1 year ago

The sulphur burps profile felt different rather than worse. Hard to describe and impossible to quantify, so take it as an impression.

Independent purity testing on this compound is thin compared with the older molecules, simply because fewer members have paid for it. Fewer results means wider uncertainty, not a verdict.

About c/retatrutide

Retatrutide: GIP/GLP-1/glucagon triple agonism, the TRIUMPH programme, and the fact that most people discussing it are handling research-grade material with no human-use approval anywhere. Dose-response, heart-rate signal, and the unusually steep phase-2 weight curves get argued about here weekly.

  1. Retatrutide is not approved anywhere for human use. Posts must not read as usage instructions.
  2. Phase 2 numbers are not maintenance numbers. Cite the trial and the dose arm.
  3. Heart-rate and dose-escalation reports need actual measurements, not impressions.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
