the tendon claims outran the evidence by about a decade. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down. Every claim I could trace in this board…

comment on went too fast on reta and my resting HR told me before i noticed in c/retatrutide · 23 points · 2 days ago
Correction: TRIUMPH is the phase 3 programme. The number you are quoting is from the phase 2 readout, which is a different trial.
comment on [Sceptic] the tendon claims outran the evidence by about a decade in c/bpc157 · 1 points · 3 days ago
Correcting myself: I said the regulatory position had not changed and in that jurisdiction it has.
comment on [Lab] three BPC vials, three vendors, purity all over the place in c/bpc157 · 13 points · 3 days ago
pentadecapeptide, fifteen residues, and the sequence is public
comment on [Trial Data] TRIUMPH timeline — what we actually know vs what gets repeated in c/retatrutide · 48 points · 5 days ago
small trial, big effect, wide error bars
comment on [Trial Data] TRIUMPH timeline — what we actually know vs what gets repeated in c/retatrutide · 50 points · 6 days 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 [Lab] identity confirmed but net peptide content was 71% in c/bpc157 · 1 points · 15 days ago
Asked Homopeptide for the theoretical mass alongside the certificate and they sent it without asking why.
comment on [Meta] how the ranking actually works, with the formula in c/meta · 3 points · 15 days ago
removals get explained publicly where the rule allows it
comment on [Non-Scale Win] tied my own shoes without holding my breath in c/progresspics · 29 points · 19 days ago
Right — the non-scale victories are the ones I remember. The numbers all blur together after a while.
comment on [Discussion] should c/progresspics stay text-only forever (yes) in c/meta · 2 points · 19 days ago
Careful — that would make individual moderation cases public by default, which is worse for the person complaining.
comment on pentadecapeptide is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/bpc157 · 3 points · 1 months ago
That is a purity figure, not an identity confirmation. Two different tests and only one answers the question asked.
comment on [Lab] 18th independent test on TFC — 97.7% on a claimed 97.5%, and the trend is the interesting part in c/bpc157 · 2 points · 1 months ago
Disagree — that is a rodent study and you are stating it as a human effect. The distance between those is the entire argument.
comment on small win: dose escalation stopped being a problem at week 55 in c/retatrutide · 70 points · 1 months ago
Cosigning the escalation point. Almost every difficult report on this board is from somebody who went up quickly.
comment on [Discussion] regulatory is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/bpc157 · 80 points · 2 months ago
Research-use-only material is not approved for human use. In this board that is not a formality — it is the reason the clinical evidence base is as thin as it is.
comment on the ranking question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/meta · 8 points · 2 months ago
Yes — a proposal with concrete wording gets discussed. A complaint about the rules in general does not.
comment on [Question] meta — what am I missing here in c/meta · 8 points · 2 months ago
Same view — strict evidence rules make this board slower and make the archive worth reading in three years.
comment on [Question] Canada — has anyone got a straight answer on seizure in c/customs · -23 points · 2 months ago
Import rules are national and they distinguish between personal and commercial import, with different thresholds, documentation and consequences. A general answer is almost always wrong somewhere.
comment on [PSA] timeframe is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/progresspics · 4 points · 2 months ago
I would not treat a two-kilo range as a regain.
spreadsheet_gremlin is right that the clothes tell you before the scale does.
comment on help me understand declared value, I have read the wiki twice in c/customs · 16 points · 3 months ago
Push back: personal import allowances are narrow and specific, and the general version of them circulating here is wrong.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify disclosure in c/meta · 9 points · 3 months ago
Yes — a proposal with concrete wording gets discussed. A complaint about the rules in general does not.
comment on [Lab] 12th independent test on SGN — 98.1% on a claimed 98.0%, and the trend is the interesting part in c/bpc157 · -24 points · 5 months ago
What jurisdiction are you asking about? The answer has changed in several.
comment on the pentadecapeptide question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/bpc157 · 72 points · 6 months ago
regulatory status varies by jurisdiction and it has moved recently
comment on dose escalation — my 2-week log, condensed into one table in c/retatrutide · 8 points · 6 months ago
It is a triple agonist at the GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors. The glucagon arm is the genuinely novel component and it is the one with the least human outcome data behind it.
comment on personal import — 8 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/customs · 15 points · 7 months ago
keep the paperwork, including the boring parts
comment on customs is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/customs · 10 points · 7 months ago
Not convinced. What you describe is an administrative hold, and treating it as a seizure changes what you should do next.
comment on 14 months in and retatrutide is still the thing I get wrong in c/retatrutide · 1 points · 8 months ago
the glucagon component is why the metabolic story reads differently
comment on someone explain goal to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/progresspics · 162 points · 8 months ago
How long was the stall before it moved?
comment on [PSA] pentadecapeptide is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/bpc157 · 1 points · 9 months ago
the human evidence is thin and the rodent evidence is not
comment on [Question] TRIUMPH — what am I missing here in c/retatrutide · 18 points · 9 months ago
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.
comment on 3 months in and regulatory is still the thing I get wrong in c/bpc157 · 32 points · 10 months ago
Ask for the theoretical mass alongside the measured one. It is a one-line addition to a certificate and it converts a purity claim into an identity claim.
the non-scale victory rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining, and it will stay as it is unless somebody makes the case to change it. Stalled for 19…
comment on why does nobody talk about tendon in c/bpc157 · 25 points · 1 year ago
preclinical enthusiasm is not clinical evidence
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for milestone posts in c/progresspics · 35 points · 1 year ago
Push back on the goal number.
This is the one I would put in the sidebar. The middle is where everyone lives.
comment on [Discussion] progress is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/progresspics · 64 points · 1 year ago
Adding the thing I wish someone had said to me — the goal you picked at week one was a guess.
This is the one I would put in the sidebar. The middle is where everyone lives.
comment on jurisdiction — 14 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/customs · 101 points · 1 year ago
Have you asked the supplier what they declare?
comment on jurisdiction — 14 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/customs · 1 points · 1 year ago
Correcting myself upthread: the guidance I quoted was superseded last year.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about ranking until somebody posts a number in c/meta · 3 points · 1 year ago
the wiki is editable by anybody with standing on the site
comment on is it normal to get nausea at week 58 in c/progresspics · 10 points · 1 year ago
Is the goal you set at the start still the goal?
comment on [Meta] the pentadecapeptide rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/bpc157 · 80 points · 1 year ago
This. Mass spectrometry for identity, not just an area percent, because a pure something-else is still something else.
comment on import is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/customs · 21 points · 1 year ago
Yes — a hold and a seizure are different events with different processes, and this board mixes them weekly.
