sceptical but curious

- escalation_anxiety — came back after 1 months off and my baseline was where it was before, so nothing persisted 12:50
- ferritin_fay — is the secretagogue appetite increase a real effect or dose dependent 12:51
- van_isle_vial — the tendon claims trace back to a small number of animal studies that get cited well past what they support, i have it written down somewhere 14:38
- sasha_stacks — is there a reason this channel is so much more sceptical than the compound ones 14:45
- ferritin_fay — nobody here can tell you whether BPC will help your injury and anyone who does is guessing 16:55
stacked, learned nothing
baseline month helped
BPC-157 human evidence is close to absent, the rodent work is extensive and thats a different thing
the honest split is that some of these have licensed uses and some have a reputation and nothing else
the scepticism here is because the evidence is thin, not because people are being difficult
took a full month off everything to get a baseline and it was the most useful month of my log
injuries heal anyway
came back after 1 months off and my baseline was where it was before, so nothing persisted
is the secretagogue appetite increase a real effect or dose dependent
no long term human safety data for most of these, which is the sentence people skip past
purity varies more on these than on the GLP-1s in my experience, 96.8 on one lot and 98.1 on another
is the human evidence thin or genuinely absent
ran one thing at a time for 4 years and ended up with three conclusions, two of them boring
does anyone log these the way people log doses in the other channels
placebo maybe
ran one thing at a time for 9 years and ended up with three conclusions, two of them boring
does the verification channel cover these or only the GLP-1s
whats a sensible way to tell whether a stack did anything at all
get it tested
i was confident BPC did something for my elbow and a year later im not, injuries resolve
one thing at a time
ran TB-500 alone for 27 weeks specifically so i could attribute anything that happened
cold chain matters for anything reconstituted whatever it is, mine live at 3.1 degrees
update on the earlier thing ran GHK-Cu for 32 weeks and stopped because i couldnt tell, which is a result of a kind
TB-500 did nothing for me over 20 weeks and i stand by that a year later
the tendon claims trace back to a small number of animal studies that get cited well past what they support, i have it written down somewhere
verification channel has some
right so GHK-Cu is the one where photos would help and nobody ever controls the lighting
tesamorelin was the only one where i could point at a measured change rather than a feeling
is there a reason this channel is so much more sceptical than the compound ones
changed my mind on stacking, i used to defend it and now i think it just makes a log unreadable
genuine question GHK-Cu did something to my skin texture and i cannot rule out that it was the moisturiser, your mileage will differ
Reminder for sasha_stacks: dose day is today. Set 6 days ago.
oral BPC is a different question from injected and the two get discussed as if theyre the same
Janoshik came back 98.6 on a QST lot, which tells you whats in the vial and nothing about whether it works
whats the evidence base for tesamorelin outside the licensed indication
tesamorelin has a licensed indication and everything outside it is us extrapolating
evidence is thin
does tesamorelin need the same cold chain care as the GLP-1s
did nothing for me
my shoulder got better on BPC and it also got better across six weeks of rest i took at the same time
cant tell honestly
nobody here can tell you whether BPC will help your injury and anyone who does is guessing
if youre going to run something, run it long enough and alone, otherwise dont bother logging it
ran it alone
anyone had a purity result under 97.4 on one of these
reconstituted 40 in 1.5ml and it stayed clear for the whole vial, which is the low bar we work with
