    My moderately educated $.02 on this:  Zinc is a sacrificial metal compared to almost every other metal so it protects the metals.  Copper is very noble so your metal parts become the sacrificial anode, particularly aluminum which has a low nobility.

     

    Yeah, this, also see the hydrofoil discussion where your comments would be useful.

     

  2. I was just recruited into a research study on making better injectors.  They won't tell me who the company is (normal), but it's not name brand.  Eli Lilly is really totally losing control of this, and soon it might be just objectively better to do third party all around.  They want me to first show my current injection methods (both straight syringe and the pens I make up), then possibly sample their new injector.

     

    Edit to add:  The recruiter broke character and told me her own experiences and failure with semaglutide.  So I explained her options.  This is totally unusual, and she shouldn't do this, but I will always help and educate.

     

    Another add:  Of the dozens of people she's talked to, I'm the first doing it from Chinese powder and not compounded.  Which is just Chinese powder that someone else mixes then ships to you, which creates more opportunity for problems.

    Jesus - do I need to get in on this?

     

     

    Come to the dark gray market side, you know what we've got.

    It all comes down to your tolerance and opinion on the risk:reward, but as you can see, it's tested.  You get already-liquid vials right?  This needs to be reconstituted, which is easy, just another step.

    Not confirmed but I am in this camp.  But work has also been extremely taxing so hard to tell.  

     

    Thanks for sharing it here, I (obviously) was not going to speak about your medical stuff unless you said it first.  It is quite common to hit this, I don't recall the percentage.  Less than 50%, but common enough to be something to watch for.

    Side effects when/if they increase their dose? Or just from taking the med?

     

    Side effects are all over the place.  Many people get side effects from the lowest dose.  Nearly all people get noticeable side effects at 10mg and up.  This is from both the studies, and just generally being around the peptide space for over three years and hearing it, and myself.  Dave is statistically a 1%er.  No side effects at 15mg.

     

    Your diet makes a HUGE difference for the gastrointestinal sides.  Most people have much worse issues with fried foods, fatty meats, and dairy.  People who cut all those out have the fewest GI sides.  Also adding magnesium daily and/or docusate sodium as needed helps with constipation.  If you have nausea, there are several remedies.  All of this depends on you, and if you experience them, post up and I'll have some ideas for you.

     

    Some people also face mental/emotional/physical side effects like anhedonia and mild depressive effect, and/or fatigue.  The anhedonia is probably related to the anti-addiction properties that tirzepatide has.

    Hence, at worst it may affect performance, but it won’t break the motor.

     

    A lot of people have stripped alloy threads by using lube and then over-tightening since it's 20% easier.  On top of the problem that Cal pointed out, which I also ran into.  You've built a church on top of a bunch of assumptions.

     

    Do not eat the battery door.

    Well I'm in my second week now of Zepbound and the scale tells me I'm down 11.2pounds.

     

    This is not meant as a negative, just so you don't fall into a disappointment trap.  That is well known to be water and inflammation going away; they are the first to go, not fat.  You MAY stall shortly around the third shot which is also when it peaks (the drug doesn't fully build up until 25-30 days).  You'll probably settle into a much more gentle weight loss line.
