is it normal to get early fullness at week 64

Trial Data Clean Column ×4

Check-in as promised in the title: is it normal to get early fullness at week 64.

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.

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.

Would rather be corrected in public than confident in private.

Standing reminder in every thread here: unapproved compound, research material is not for human use, nothing on this board is medical advice.

phase 2 data only, and people quote it like it is a label

a lot of the confident posting here is extrapolation

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

the escalation is where most of the reported trouble sits

Sent a vial to Medutest out of curiosity. Result was 99.5% against a claimed 99.0%, which is the first independent number I had seen for this compound anywhere.

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.

Right, and it bears repeating that nothing here is approved anywhere and research material is not for human use.

Same read. The energy-expenditure mechanism is the interesting bit and it is not established in humans at scale.

u/lina_bruunOP6 points·1 year ago

Same read.

Adding the standing caveat: none of this is approved anywhere and research material is not for human use.

heart rate is the thing people report watching

u/incretin_ivypharmacology22 points·1 year ago

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.

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

replysharereportpermalink
u/sofia_wikstrom17 points·1 year ago

Stopped at a low step because there was no reason to go further and no data to tell me what further would do.

Kept a log specifically because there is so little published. It is one person and it is not data.

comparing reta phase 2 to sema phase 3 is comparing different things

u/honest_syringe339 points·1 year ago

Cosigning the escalation point. Almost every difficult report on this board is from somebody who went up quickly.

replysharereportpermalink
u/fabio_lehtinen8 points·1 year ago

Agreed, and the framing that helps is: this is a phase 2 compound with phase 3 running. Everything else is inference.

Are you tracking heart rate at all?

replysharereportpermalink
u/rui_only_ro5 points·1 year ago

Watched heart rate on a wearable across twelve weeks because the threads said to. It moved a little and I have no idea whether that means anything.

Watched heart rate on a wearable across twelve weeks because the threads said to.

This is the sentence the rest of the board should read first. Phase 2 is not a label.

u/heart_rate_bump1 point·1 year ago

Has anyone posted an independent test on this compound recently?

replysharereportpermalink
u/burned_once_twice4 points·1 year ago

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

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.

Before you read on

Several compounds discussed on GLP Research Hub are sold for research use only and are not approved for human use anywhere. Nothing here is medical advice and none of it is written by your clinician. If a post reads like an instruction, treat it as a description of what one stranger did.
