Highlights from this day
  • electrolyte_eli — right so the oral mg number is bigger because almost none of it gets in, thats the entire reason, from memory 14:33
  • electrolyte_eli — the non peptide orals are the interesting part of this channel now, not oral semaglutide 16:19
  • surpass_two — oral was easier on my gut than injecting at what felt like a similar effect, which surprised me, for what its worth 17:52

right so the oral mg number is bigger because almost none of it gets in, thats the entire reason, from memory

The high-dose oral. Absorption rules matter enormously here.

one percent is the number people quote and the spread around it is the actual story

OO

roughly one percent gets absorbed, which is why the tablet strength looks nothing like an injectable dose

OW

anyone dosing oral because of a needle problem rather than preference

OASIS ran under the same sort of fasting conditions, thats not the variable between the two

is the inconsistency people report about the drug or about how they take it

ST

whats the bioavailability actually like, i keep seeing about one percent

OW

i was wrong about the water amount, i was using a sip and it needs a lot more than that

PIONEER not OASIS

the oral disappointed me on the mornings i couldnt manage 30 minutes fasted, which was most of them
i do 6am with water and eat at 7, thats been my routine for 15 months

the non peptide orals are the interesting part of this channel now, not oral semaglutide

about one percent

ST

went back to injecting because the morning routine was too fragile around shift work

i said 23 months ago that my oral results were random, they got consistent once i fixed the water, happy to be corrected

is there any point splitting an oral dose

the inconsistency is mostly technique and admitting that took me about a year

ST

oral was easier on my gut than injecting at what felt like a similar effect, which surprised me, for what its worth

EE

my oral results were inconsistent week to week and i eventually decided it was me, not the tablet

ST

plain water only, about half a glass, then nothing for 30 minutes. i follow it exactly, anyway
