OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on My honest comparison.
To answer roxy_nash: yes, I am on compounded sema from a 503B pharmacy.
Quick update: things are still going well. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
Relevant to My honest comparison after — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.6% → 5.5%, triglycerides 241 → 111 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 9 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
Community-driven peptide testing and vendor rating platform. Transparent results. Unbiased analysis. Trusted by thousands.
View ResultsSlightly tangential to My honest comparison but tane_welly reminded me — does anyone have experience combining this with metformin?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.

This is exactly right. MikeFit_NJ articulated what I have been trying to explain to my doctor for months. The My honest comparison aspect is the most important factor.
