Highlights from this day
- logrotate — i was wrong about the water amount, i was using a sip and it needs a lot more than that 01:19
- is_this_forever — sorry to jump in the 30 minutes starts when you swallow it, and i set a timer because i cannot be trusted 05:30
- warsaw_vial — orforglipron is a small molecule rather than a peptide, which is why the fasting conditions differ 06:06
- net_peptide — i use it because needles are a genuine problem for me, not because i think its better 06:55
i take mine at 6am, is 30 minutes really enough
not a peptide
coffee doesnt count

anyone switched from injectable to oral and kept the same effect
i do 6am with water and eat at 7, thats been my routine for 22 months
the oral mg number is bigger because almost none of it gets in, thats the entire reason
set a timer
i keep the tablet by the kettle so i take it before i think about food
whats the bioavailability actually like, i keep seeing about one percent
the non peptide agents dose daily without the water ritual, thats the practical difference

coffee is not plain water. i tried it for a month and my results got worse
quick one tea also does not count, in case anyone was hoping
follow up how strict is the 30 minute wait before food for people here

is there any point splitting an oral dose

my oral results were inconsistent week to week and i eventually decided it was me, not the tablet, ask me again in a month
plain water only
about one percent
nobody should copy my morning routine, but the timer is the bit i would keep, we shall see
took 23 weeks before i saw anything on oral, roughly twice what the injection took me
the inconsistency is mostly technique and admitting that took me about a year
does the 30 minutes start from swallowing or from the water
took mine with breakfast once by accident and that week was a write off
why does the same tablet do different things week to week
how long before the oral did anything measurable for you
went back to injecting

the fasting rule cost me my breakfast routine and thats the real reason people quit the oral
right so oral was easier on my gut than injecting at what felt like a similar effect, which surprised me

Channel stats, last 30 days: 42 messages from 56 members.
ruined my breakfast
unrelated but did anyone get consistent results on the oral or is it always patchy
the non peptide orals are the interesting part of this channel now, not oral semaglutide, your mileage will differ
PIONEER not OASIS
thirty minutes, no cheating
orforglipron is a small molecule rather than a peptide, which is why the fasting conditions differ
mine was patchy too
went back to injecting because the morning routine was too fragile around shift work
OASIS ran under the same sort of fasting conditions, thats not the variable between the two
is the absorption variability why the oral doses look so high
ok so changed my mind on the plain water rule after reading how SNAC works, its not a formality

i said 2 months ago that my oral results were random, they got consistent once i fixed the water
took 29 weeks before i saw anything on oral, roughly twice what the injection took me
SNAC raises the local pH and protects it long enough to cross, thats its whole job
absorption is the variable, not the molecule. same tablet, different morning, different result
