- per_mg_pete — coffee does not count as water and i say that as somebody who tried very hard to argue otherwise. went back to injecting 20:05
i cheated the window
water, not coffee
the empty stomach protocol and the small water volume are part of how the absorption was studied. they are not folklore, thirty minutes, plain water
the fasted window is the reason people give up on this rather than any effect from the compound, absorption, not potency
protocol pedantry what happens if you take it with slightly more water than the small sip
on absorption versus potency more water than the small sip is a deviation and i would not assume it is harmless to absorption

quiet channel but anyone had a week where it just did nothing and then it came back, i can post the details
oral question plain water only, about half a glass, then nothing for 30 minutes. i follow it exactly
[edited]that helps a lot, thats why the dose is bigger
got used to it
the non peptide agents dose daily without the water ritual, thats the practical difference
the protocol did not get easier. i got used to it being annoying, which is not the same thing, orforglipron is a small molecule, different rules
i would not assume
