Now everyone is realizing they can get GLP1s at a fraction of cost from compounding pharmacies (w/online Rx) & use less & still greatly benefit.
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Have never tried it, but it seems the issue many have is with the source not the peptide itself.
the concerning part about the gp1s is uh to me is what we're starting to they've been able to be compounded because there was a uh shortage and the way it works with compounding pharmacy is because those are brand named drugs and they're not patented for the peptide right they're patented for the delivery system which is the pen — which most people don't realize and they've been able to be compounded and then way more affordable because they're compounded — and there is rumors that the pharmaceutical companies now have Supply back they'll come back and they will you know remove the ability to to allow these peptides to be compounded which means we'll have to stick to traditional dosages and people will lose access because they're going to be way more expensive
but seems rampant today is the use of compounding phies to formulate these and we're going to do a a bit of a double click on that because um people who have listened to the podcast are no doubt familiar with what compounding pharmacies are and we covered that on a previous AMA um we obviously uh a point to make sure people understand The Good the Bad and the Ugly of compounding pharmacies I certainly don't want to sit here and say that compounding pharmacies are bad but you have to you know there's a bit of a buyer beware and they're not all created equal
