Drowning in glp options. With nothing new in sight.
-
This isnt exactly a critique on the pep community but more of a confusion as to why theres a draw to going to another glp with the same agonism pathway. My mindset was to always look for more. Whereas alot of the average peptide researcher looks for more of the same.
Like sure. Tirz to reta makes sense. You got the glucagon agonist and more effects.
Ghetto reta, stopgap for people trying to get same effects with different chems. Got it. Totally get the mindset.
I understand some people dont react well with reta but do great with tirz. Fine. Totally get that.But now we got 15 new ones? With no novel distinctions? Dont you think compounders should focus efforts elsewhere instead of making another ozempic with a silly name? Is there a community or circle of people im not privy to that is looking for the next big thing. Not just the next same damn thing? Should i seek biohackers instead?Anyone else? Anything you heard of outside of the regular humdrum? Has any of the compounders knocked off the quad or quint agonist yet?

IMO, you are overthinking it. 90% of people are needle averse. injectables need to be stored cold and carefully. A pill and lower insurance costs will expand adoption by a very large amount around the world. Different people have different reactions and effectiveness. The new offerings should give a much larger group of people the ability to access GLP-1’s the way they want and need to which should be great for society overall and decrease health care costs.
Please set a funny and sarcastic signature line. It brings me joy. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

@ResearchCat i guess i should have made it more clear that this is more of a our community kind of conversation and not for the regular masses. Since this group isnt "normal"

Yeah, I almost mentioned that we are not the target audience for most of this stuff. Some of it might be useful down the road, like when there is a cheap once a month NA-931 pill - assuming that works as advertised.
There are some treatments for LP(a) in various stages of clinical trials that are twice a year injections that completely shut down your body’s production of LP(a). (alipoprotein a is a cholesterol type protein that causes very high risk of heart disease and stroke and is almost purely genetic.). There are a lot of really interesting RNA and other type drugs coming.
