Highlights from this day
  • deadspace — the non peptide orals are the interesting part of this channel now, not oral semaglutide 20:35
  • queue_position — does taking it with any food at all just waste the dose 21:21

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

plain water only

the fasting window is the difference between a dose and a very expensive tablet, i have it written down somewhere

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

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

anyone switched from injectable to oral and kept the same effect

anyone tracking whether their oral results line up week to week

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

the oral disappointed me on the mornings i couldnt manage 30 minutes fasted, which was most of them
orforglipron is a small molecule rather than a peptide, which is why the fasting conditions differ

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

does taking it with any food at all just waste the dose

why does the same tablet do different things week to week

mine was patchy too

II

i keep the tablet by the kettle so i take it before i think about food, still working it out

Digest for the week of 2025-11-27 has been published.

the 30 minutes starts when you swallow it, and i set a timer because i cannot be trusted

RW

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

DE

is the plain water rule actually load bearing or is it a formality

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

technique probably

👀3💀6❤️3

fasted every morning

BB

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

coming back to this tea also does not count, in case anyone was hoping

SNAC does the work

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

the fasting rule cost me my breakfast routine and thats the real reason people quit the oral

BB

i do 6am with water and eat at 7, thats been my routine for 13 months

WW

does the 30 minutes start from swallowing or from the water

BB

took 31 weeks before i saw anything on oral, roughly twice what the injection took me

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

PIONEER was the original oral semaglutide programme and OASIS looked at the higher oral doses
