Clinical perspective on Amino Asylum raided by FDA June 2025 :

For this specific question, I would recommend: getting comprehensive baseline labs first.

Want to share my personal experience related to Amino Asylum raided by FDA since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 271 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 16 months later: I am down 61 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Amino Asylum raided aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

Just wanted to say — for anyone reading this Amino Asylum raided thread who is feeling discouraged: it gets better. The first month are the hardest. Hang in there. 💪
