Somebody seems to have secured Reta access?

[Vash]

I’m fairly confident many of us have already paid for Reta access…

I remain skeptical that Reta carries no meaningful heart-related risks. In the most recent trial I looked at, arrhythmias showed up, and there were also a couple of cardiac deaths among those in the test group — yet the presenter at ADA, who was paid, dismissed this as statistically "insignificant". ?! I'm not 79, but I'm still up there in years, and heart problems like these don't strike me as 'insignificant" at all.

Honestly this comes down to a skill issue. It only affects those who skip all cardiac supplements.

Just wait

I had the same experience — after starting Reta, my resting heart rate became erratic. Even while just sitting and watching TV, it would jump into the 140s. Since I'm in my 50's, heart issues carry real weight for me. I switched back to Tirz.

SeaGypsy, are you regularly taking magnesium or potassium?

(btw I'm completely talking out of my ass)

For my friend, what would you suggest he take? He hadn't considered this angle at all...but since he's committed long-term and isn't particularly old, coming across this gave him a real scare. Him, obviously—not me. I'm definitely not asking about myself.

Getting solid nutrition down to its fundamentals, in my view, means covering a few bases: a methylated B12 complex (igennus makes a solid one), a trace mineral complex (nutricost's version is decent), plus magnesium glycinate or magnesium malate. NOW foods has a reliable reputation. When it comes to glycinate, Doctor's Best gets my pick.

On top of that, adding a bit of extra potassium is worth doing. Psilium husk or bananas can supply it. Plenty of drink mixes out there carry a good amount, though the price has to make sense. Alternatively, no salt from the store works fine sprinkled into food or stirred into water.

Beyond that, Ubiquinol is a worthwhile add-on, particularly for heart support. Skip the Qunol brand, and to be honest, nutricost wouldn't be my choice for that one either. These days NOW foods is close to the only option I'd feel safe with, along with life extensions and a small handful of others.

What's the way to tell which supplement brands are trustworthy? There's no regulation on any of them. It feels just as much like the wild wild west as peptides do.

Qunol has been caught faking products, most notably magnesium, along with Double Wood, Nutricost, and many other brands. See the attached image, all of the companies highlighted in red FAILED testing for the amount of magnesium glycinate that they failed to contain. When you search for supplements on Amazon, any number of the recommended brands are low quality and known for lying.

Here is the video discussing the lab results on the magnesium:

I'm going to look into that. This is news to me. Every cardiologist I work with at Orlando's largest hospital holds it in high regard. If it turns out I was fooled, I'll be furious.

The sole method to get an answer is hunting down discussions about it, and as far as public forums go, there's basically just 1.

Type "[supplement brand] trustworthy reddit" into Google and go through the initial few threads to gauge the community's opinion. Typically, any negative info will surface.

Even over at the prestigious shands... They're only human lol. How does the saying go, every vendor is good until they aren't?

If I end up having to remove yet another post that's full of political nonsense, I'll simply begin banning users.

Hey Zippity, what forum works best for science articles? I won't bring politics into it, promise!

It looks like this compound is getting the green light, maybe since it serves to showcase how the peptide performs and its safety profile. By this point, there's a huge amount of observational data available for AI systems to analyze and turn into actionable insights.

Eli Lilly gave extraordinary obesity drug access to a 79-year-old patient. Who was it?



According to STAT, an exclusive report reveals that Eli Lilly worked with the FDA so that a 79-year-old could obtain exceptional access to an experimental obesity medication via the agency's "compassionate use" pathway.

From the article, it sounds like a well-connected elderly person was granted a compassionate use exception for Reta ahead of approval? Does anyone have additional details on this? Curious.

Is it true that this approach speeds up FDA approval for a new drug?
