sulphur burps are the most under-discussed thing on this board, which sounds obvious until you try to state the evidence for it. Severe or persistent abdominal pain…

comment on week 73 check-in — 28kg down, early fullness manageable, one thing confusing me in c/sideeffects · 32 points · 2 months ago
holding a dose an extra month is a legitimate answer to bad tolerance
comment on does SELECT actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/trialwatch · 10 points · 2 months ago
This. Intention-to-treat versus completer analysis routinely moves the headline by several points.
comment on [Discussion] TRIUMPH is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/trialwatch · 0 points · 2 months ago
How long was the randomised phase before any extension?
comment on [PSA] cold chain is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/coldchain · 36 points · 2 months ago
Correction: that stability figure covers the lyophilised powder, not the reconstituted solution. Different claim entirely.
comment on dose escalation is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/retatrutide · 4 points · 2 months ago
Glucagon receptor agonism is associated with increased energy expenditure and with hepatic effects. That is a mechanistic story with strong preclinical support and limited phase 2 human data.
comment on the STEP thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/trialwatch · 84 points · 2 months ago
Open-label extensions lose their randomisation. Anybody still enrolled at week 104 is a selected group and the numbers describe that group.
comment on [Meta] the excursion rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/coldchain · -12 points · 2 months ago
Ordered from the warehouse in Denmark instead of origin and the transit went from a fortnight to 7 days. Entirely different proposition in August.
comment on [Lab] TFC cagri — Janoshik came back 98.1% against a claimed 98.0% in c/cagrilintide · 44 points · 3 months ago
That result is preclinical. Worth flagging, since the thread has been reading it as human data.
comment on [Lab] TFC cagri — Janoshik came back 98.1% against a claimed 98.0% in c/cagrilintide · 13 points · 3 months ago
Combination and monotherapy arms must be read separately.
nl_verzekering is right that the evidence base here is thin. Conclusions should be held loosely.
comment on 8 months in and amylin is still the thing I get wrong in c/cagrilintide · 0 points · 3 months ago
Nothing containing this compound is approved as a standalone product, and research-use-only material is not approved for human use.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for co-agonism posts in c/cagrilintide · 14 points · 3 months ago
Small fix — amylin analogue, not a GLP-1 analogue. The whole mechanism argument changes on that word.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about glycaemic control is guesswork in c/t2dglp1 · 104 points · 3 months ago
Kept fingersticks alongside the sensor for two weeks to sanity-check it. Worth doing once.
comment on genuine question about TB-500 that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/researchpeptides · 2 points · 3 months ago
Careful — that is a claim about efficacy and there is essentially no human evidence behind it.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify gallbladder in c/sideeffects · 9 points · 3 months ago
a rough fortnight at each step is normal, a rough three months is not
comment on [Vendor] ERP order #20 — Germany, 4 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/customs · 17 points · 4 months ago
do not post your own address details when asking
comment on hair loss — my 8-week log, condensed into one table in c/sideeffects · 2 points · 4 months ago
sulphur burps are unpleasant and they are not dangerous
comment on [Results] 19 weeks, 7kg, and food noise was the hard part in c/semaglutide · 10 points · 4 months ago
What dose and how many weeks at it before this started?
comment on [Results] 19 weeks, 7kg, and food noise was the hard part in c/semaglutide · 2 points · 4 months ago
My stall was eleven weeks. Eleven. Then it moved again without me changing anything at all.
comment on [Results] 19 weeks, 7kg, and food noise was the hard part in c/semaglutide · 3 points · 4 months ago
Minor fix — the half-life is about a week, not about a day. The rest of your point stands.
19 weeks, 7kg, and food noise was the hard part, and the part I actually want to talk about is at the bottom. Figures up front so nobody has to dig: 19 weeks and 7kg.…
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about import is guesswork in c/customs · 13 points · 4 months ago
Shipped from regional stock or from origin?
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about import is guesswork in c/customs · 297 points · 4 months ago
Nothing on this board is legal advice. Where a notice carries a deadline or a consequence, that is a matter for somebody qualified in your own jurisdiction.
comment on how much of what we believe about endpoint actually comes from TRIUMPH threads in c/trialwatch · 172 points · 4 months ago
hub_ops is right about the programme names.
Disagreeing with this line: that is a relative reduction and the absolute numbers are considerably less dramatic.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about heart rate in c/sideeffects · -4 points · 5 months ago
Are you eating in the couple of hours before you sleep?
comment on is it normal to get reflux at week 5 in c/sideeffects · 79 points · 5 months ago
fibre and water before you buy anything to fix it
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify A1c in c/t2dglp1 · 3 points · 5 months ago
variability matters as much as the mean
comment on someone explain FLOW to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/trialwatch · 400 points · 6 months ago
trial populations get support that nobody on this board gets
comment on is it normal to get fatigue at week 5 in c/retatrutide · 282 points · 6 months ago
comparing reta phase 2 to sema phase 3 is comparing different things
is it normal to get fatigue at week 5. Numbers below. Ask me the boring questions, they are the useful ones. It is a triple agonist at the GLP-1, GIP and glucagon…
comment on genuine question about glucagon that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/retatrutide · 18 points · 6 months ago
Push back: quoting the phase 2 headline as an expected outcome is not a fair reading of a small trial with wide intervals.
comment on [Results] 89 weeks on 1.7mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/semaglutide · 57 points · 7 months ago
My stall was eleven weeks. Eleven. Then it moved again without me changing anything at all.
comment on small win: nausea stopped being a problem at week 58 in c/sideeffects · 286 points · 7 months ago
Same pattern here. It settled at a stable dose without me doing anything clever.
comment on [Question] co-agonism — what am I missing here in c/cagrilintide · 37 points · 7 months ago
independent purity data on this compound is thin
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about reflux in c/sideeffects · 18 points · 7 months ago
if it is severe or persistent that is a clinician question, not a board question
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about reflux in c/sideeffects · 26 points · 7 months ago
A symptom that begins the day after the shot and fades by day four tracks the exposure curve. One that appears at random in week 65 probably does not, and that is worth saying to a clinician rather than to us.
comment on does data logger actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/coldchain · 3 points · 7 months ago
a warm gel pack tells you the pack failed, not that the material did
comment on [Lab] TFC BPC — Janoshik came back 98.4% against a claimed 98.0% in c/researchpeptides · 9 points · 8 months ago
Push back: handling advice from one compound does not transfer to another just because both are peptides.
comment on small win: weekly dosing stopped being a problem at week 23 in c/semaglutide · 31 points · 8 months ago
Yes. Week 37 is when almost everybody writes the "is it still working" post, and almost everybody is fine.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify heart rate in c/sideeffects · 4 points · 8 months ago
Which day of the week relative to the shot does it hit?
