Highlights from this day
  • bpc_sceptic — slightly off topic but why is the oral dose in mg so much bigger than the injectable one 19:45
  • bpc_sceptic — whats the bioavailability actually like, i keep seeing about one percent 19:47
  • tyne_tracks — why does the same tablet do different things week to week 20:51

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

anyone dosing oral because of a needle problem rather than preference

thirty minutes, no cheating

how much water exactly, is it a small sip or half a glass

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

not a peptide

did OASIS use the same fasting conditions as the earlier work

back after 17 months, has anything changed on the oral side

BB

is the absorption variability why the oral doses look so high

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

big mg small dose

technique probably

MP

coffee is not plain water. i tried it for a month and my results got worse

BB

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

MP

lost 33kg over 20 months on oral, slower than my injectable stretch, i stuck with it anyway

TT

anyone switched from injectable to oral and kept the same effect

why does the same tablet do different things week to week

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

mine was patchy too

SNAC does the work

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

plain water only

LL

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

CO

SNAC raises the local pH and protects it long enough to cross, thats its whole job, i think

LL

i do 6am with water and eat at 7, thats been my routine for 7 months, not advice obviously

TT

does SNAC do anything other than get it through the stomach
the oral disappointed me on the mornings i couldnt manage 30 minutes fasted, which was most of them

LL

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

PIONEER was the original oral semaglutide programme and OASIS looked at the higher oral doses
orforglipron is a small molecule rather than a peptide, which is why the fasting conditions differ

coffee doesnt count
