INTRO Hi, older ts woman here in NYC

[sonic_boom]

NYC-based, older trans woman, Gen X, checking in. My focus is keeping my health, skin, and hair in good shape.

What I want to try: low-dose tirz, with the hope of lowering inflammation and maybe getting some cartilage growth in my knees.

On top of that, GHK-CU for skin and hair.

My rule for myself is to stick with things that have gone through FDA testing and are at least near approval. I also plan to help advise an overweight friend, and I'm undecided between tirz and Reta for that.

I've used Indianmart and alldaychemist before, so I'm not totally new to this—finasteride, cialis, tretinoin, and z-paks are things I've bought from them.

Always good to see another one from NYC.

Glad to have you. Something you brought up made me wonder about a point I hadn't considered before. Before a product gets approved, how can a person tell whether it has gone through FDA testing?

A good amount of clinical trial information ends up publicly accessible. For instance, retatrutide's phase 3 endpoints are known, along with the timeframe when approval is probably going to happen.

You look up the trials, and after that you run a Google search to find the results?

I'm not the OP, but searching through Google Scholar tends to work well, since it looks across journal publications, medical ones included.

I should also clarify that when I mentioned FDA testing, that was really a slip of the tongue or just shorthand. As far as I know, the FDA doesn't conduct any testing itself, but real pharmaceutical companies design their drug compounds to be tested in a manner that might eventually secure FDA approval as a drug. There are phases of clinical trials, and the final phase involves testing in humans.
