hi, I’m brand new here (week one), so please take this with a grain of salt. When my appetite disappeared, tracking weekly averages instead …
The DEXA mind games are real — hang in there, you’re clearly putting in the work.
Honestly I'd bet most of that gap is just time — 48 weeks vs 72 is a whole extra act, and the 24-point-something comes from a curve that had…
Weekends are the only thing I track carefully now. Five months of logs, and the pattern is boringly consistent: Friday dinner out plus a sal…
The first cell I'd fill in isn't the gap itself, it's the week count sitting next to each number — 48 weeks and whatever the Phase
Sleep tanked during a work deadline and my appetite noise went full stadium; five bad nights undid two good weeks.
What's typical shipping time from order to tracking? Domestic only or international too? And is it shipped ambient or cold?
Watching this thread. Interested to see if anyone gets tracking or a COA without a chase email.
Apples to oranges — 48 weeks against 68. Everyone plateaus after month 10, so it's a stopped clock vs a running one.
Following this thread like it's a season finale. Hopefully the plot twist is fast shipping and real COAs.
Maybe. I saw a small REE bump in my own tracking around week 20, but DEXA scan noise is real. Did yours use same machine?
Give it 6 more weeks. Mine didn’t move until week 9, then dropped 7 pts. Sleep was still my weak spot.
My fasting insulin went 11 to 6.8 by week 14, but ApoB ticked up 9% at the same time. That reversal doesn’t get mentioned much: losing fat c…
Week 20: scale flat, waist down 2 inches. Recomp is slower than the internet sells.
I was 184 lb at 42 too, and my DEXA said 17.8% BF. The weird part: my scale didn’t move for 10 weeks while my trap-bar deadlift went from 31…
Month three? That's grim but weirdly reassuring. Did you change anything else around then, like diet timing or just patience?
What markers beyond ferritin? I ended up checking B12, folate, vitamin D, and thyroid. My iron looked better while my D was still low, so th…
At 41, ferritin 14 with normal hemoglobin, the first six weeks were frustrating: energy flat while ferritin climbed to 39. Around week ten, …
I weigh every morning and only ever trust the 7-day average — day to day I bounce 3-4 lbs, so a 32-person study over a short window can show…
I get the same after deadlifts. Not hungry until dinner, then I make up for it. Have you tried shifting more protein to rest days?
Silent COA page = archived in my book.
The ApoB drop in 8 weeks is impressive. Did your fiber go up a lot or was it mostly cutting late meals?
My sleep tracker was the surprise: 7.5 hrs vs 5.5 changes my morning scale by a full pound.
Payment options were limited but standard: card and PayPal. No weird fees at checkout, which is always a plus.
Agreed on specs up front. Purity and mass should sit on the product page, not in a PDF buried under FAQ. Prices per kit would help too.
Nine weeks is exactly where I bailed the first time, so that's my heads up — I came in with ~12 years of powerbuilding too and assumed the l…
The thing that finally made me stop obsessing over published percentages was my own spreadsheet. I weigh every morning but only judge by the…
Funny thing is I spent two months deep in trial registries while completely ignoring my own data. I'd log every study number but weigh mysel…
I’d buy just to see if the packaging is as swole as the name. My wallet says no.
Anyone know if listed prices include shipping or if it’s added at checkout? Also, do bulk orders get a different rate?
That A1c drop in 14 weeks is interesting, but oral vs injectable comparisons get messy because titration and adherence differ wildly.
Do they post COAs per batch? I'd want to see recent Janoshik or similar before considering. Pics of labels are not enough for me.
Welcome. Your A1c and CRP improvements are solid. When do you do zone 2? My sleep gets worse if I do it late.
I checked stock yesterday. Two items flipped to backorder after payment. Refund came fast, but the catalog badges felt unreliable.
I’d prioritize the sleep complaint over the HRV win. HRV is one signal. How do you feel at 3pm?
Steps did nothing for my glucose, but lifting 4x/week dropped it. Weird how different levers work.
On shipping: checkout quoted a domestic origin, carrier dropdown, and 2-4 day estimate. Tracking included, insurance was an add-on in the ca…
Not the OP but I saw the same thing. My fasting glucose tracks my last meal way more than total carbs. What did you change at dinner?
Caffeine matters, but I’d look at ferritin alongside hs-CRP. My ferritin rose during a hard block even without supplement changes.
Anyone know if Vicorpus ships internationally? If so, what’s typical transit time, is tracking included, and do they double-box? I’m tempted…
I emailed them Tuesday for batch-specific COAs. Got one PDF whose lot didn’t match the vial label. Still waiting on a corrected set. Diary e…
Metronome drills helped me more than 30 timed solves a night. Quality over volume. Also check your cross: if it takes more than 8 moves, tha…
Sleep debt beat every GLP-1 protocol I tried for recomp—seven hours or nothing.
Your starting numbers look a lot like what I've been logging. 5 foot 9, 214 to 183 over 26 weeks. ALT 36 to 22. The last 5 lbs took forever …
My lipids dropped before my weight did. LDL 138 to 112 by week 12, then weight caught up. Bodies are weird.
Week 12 here: 8 lb down, CRP halved, glucose shrugged. I’m calling it a moody lab.
I’m the same height and started near your weight. My scale stalled for six weeks while shirts got loose. I’d hold another two weeks before c…
Sleep is the missing variable. Six hours with kids would flatten me no matter what my labs said.
Following. Always looking for a solid COA plus clear shipping policy combo. Bonus points if they don’t charge an arm and a leg for shipping.
Curious if they ship international, and whether the COA is third-party or in-house. Also, is there a minimum order? Watching this thread bef…
What did yoru doctor say about the flat glucose? Mine wanted a CGM for two weeks before changing anything.
Do they post third-party COAs per batch, or just a generic PDF? That’s usually my first red flag.
Our lab quotes 5-10% CV no hs-CRP, so at 2.0 you'd need a swing of 0.2 before I'd call it real. His numbers say nothing either way.
Mine did. I was chasing pace on easy days and sleep went sideways. Slowed down and it evened out in about 10 days.
Not everyone loses fast. I stalled weeks 8-11, then dropped 3 lb when I started weighing food again.
Shipping timelines: site said 3–5 days, carrier was not named. Tracking came via a third-party link. I’d ask for carrier and signature optio…
Trial conditions are cleaner than real life. NCT04184622 ran 72 weeks under controlled everything, but kitchens still have holidays and miss…
Waist and resting HR. Weight stalled but waist kept moving.
Shipped from? My order label said EU, but tracking originated elsewhere. Packaging was plain, no temp pack mentioned. Ask them pre-checkout.
Welcome. Seeing similar numbers in this corner of the forum—38, down from 205 to 188 over 14 weeks. HDL slid 12 points on the bloodwork too,…
