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

changed my mind on the plain water rule after reading how SNAC works, its not a formality, happy to be corrected

switched from injectable to oral, lost some of the effect, switched back after 13 months

anyone tracking whether their oral results line up week to week
splitting a dose made the absorption problem worse rather than better in my own log

big mg small dose

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

plain water only

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

anyone switched from injectable to oral and kept the same effect

my weekly log on oral is noisier than my injectable log ever was, same scales same mornings

i keep the tablet by the kettle so i take it before i think about food

not a peptide

for the archive does SNAC do anything other than get it through the stomach

genuine question i use it because needles are a genuine problem for me, not because i think its better

technique probably

is orforglipron a peptide at all

how strict is the 30 minute wait before food for people here

follow up the 30 minutes starts when you swallow it, and i set a timer because i cannot be trusted, your mileage will differ

fasted every morning

i take mine at 6am, is 30 minutes really enough

for the archive splitting a dose made the absorption problem worse rather than better in my own log

is the non peptide thing why orforglipron doesnt need the fasting rules

went back to injecting

orforglipron is a small molecule rather than a peptide, which is why the fasting conditions differ, ask me again in a month

lost 17kg over 16 months on oral, slower than my injectable stretch, i stuck with it anyway

took mine with breakfast once by accident and that week was a write off

anyone dosing oral because of a needle problem rather than preference

slightly off topic but back after 13 months, has anything changed on the oral side

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

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

absorption is the variable, not the molecule. same tablet, different morning, different result

did anyone get consistent results on the oral or is it always patchy

ruined my breakfast

nobody should copy my morning routine, but the timer is the bit i would keep

set a timer

PIONEER not OASIS
