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

Highlights from this day
- VialBot — New independent result logged — CPC, lot A-2601, purity 99.4% (VendorInvestigate). 22:19
- bea_reconstitutes — whats the bioavailability actually like, i keep seeing about one percent 22:27
- acer_asks — the oral mg number is bigger because almost none of it gets in, thats the entire reason 22:57
- two_lifts_a_week — is the inconsistency people report about the drug or about how they take it 23:05
my oral results were inconsistent week to week and i eventually decided it was me, not the tablet
took 2 weeks before i saw anything on oral, roughly twice what the injection took me
how strict is the 30 minute wait before food for people here
plain water only
update on the earlier thing i keep the tablet by the kettle so i take it before i think about food
👀13
follow up i do 6am with water and eat at 7, thats been my routine for 14 months, thats one data point
SNAC does the work
for the archive is the plain water rule actually load bearing or is it a formality

💀11🔥1
does coffee count as plain water, asking for obvious reasons
why does the same tablet do different things week to week
the oral disappointed me on the mornings i couldnt manage 30 minutes fasted, which was most of them
whats the bioavailability actually like, i keep seeing about one percent
📈17👍7❤️18
why is the oral dose in mg so much bigger than the injectable one
technique probably
ruined my breakfast
📈1🤝18🎉1
the fasting rule cost me my breakfast routine and thats the real reason people quit the oral
nobody should copy my morning routine, but the timer is the bit i would keep
does taking it with any food at all just waste the dose
the fasting rule cost me my breakfast routine and thats the real reason people quit the oral
PIONEER or OASIS, which one was the higher dose oral
did OASIS use the same fasting conditions as the earlier work
changed my mind on the plain water rule after reading how SNAC works, its not a formality
i said 10 months ago that my oral results were random, they got consistent once i fixed the water
big mg small dose
tea also does not count, in case anyone was hoping
😂6🧪8
while im here PIONEER was the original oral semaglutide programme and OASIS looked at the higher oral doses, n of 1 obviously
i was wrong about the water amount, i was using a sip and it needs a lot more than that
went back to injecting
lost 23kg over 18 months on oral, slower than my injectable stretch, i stuck with it anyway
the non peptide orals are the interesting part of this channel now, not oral semaglutide
*PeptideMeter not the other one
the oral mg number is bigger because almost none of it gets in, thats the entire reason
✅18
OASIS ran under the same sort of fasting conditions, thats not the variable between the two
thirty minutes, no cheating
oral was easier on my gut than injecting at what felt like a similar effect, which surprised me
is the inconsistency people report about the drug or about how they take it
👀18❤️14💀18
took mine with breakfast once by accident and that week was a write off
the 30 minutes starts when you swallow it, and i set a timer because i cannot be trusted
👀2
splitting a dose made the absorption problem worse rather than better in my own log
for the archive SNAC raises the local pH and protects it long enough to cross, thats its whole job
the inconsistency is mostly technique and admitting that took me about a year, ill dig out the number
PIONEER not OASIS
follow up i take mine at 6am, is 30 minutes really enough
fasted every morning
orforglipron is a small molecule rather than a peptide, which is why the fasting conditions differ
back after 15 months, has anything changed on the oral side
is the non peptide thing why orforglipron doesnt need the fasting rules
is there any point splitting an oral dose
plain water only, about half a glass, then nothing for 30 minutes. i follow it exactly
does SNAC do anything other than get it through the stomach

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