stalled for 11 weeks at 12.5mg and I refuse to panic this time
stalled for 11 weeks at 12.5mg and I refuse to panic this time, and I am aware this is a minority view on this board. The relevant figures are 11 weeks and 12.5mg, and they come from the same log I have kept the whole time. Phase 2 estimates effect and finds a dose range. Phase 3 estimates it precisely in a bigger…
Which phase 2 arm are you quoting, and at what week?
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.
the escalation is where most of the reported trouble sits
That is body weight change, not fat mass. The trials report the first and people quote it as the second.
the energy-expenditure story is mechanistically interesting and clinically unproven
Sent a vial to Medutest out of curiosity. Result was 98.5% against a claimed 98.0%, which is the first independent number I had seen for this compound anywhere.
Same read. The energy-expenditure mechanism is the interesting bit and it is not established in humans at scale.
