Short answer: it depends on your starting point

Gonna push back on this one. Is 98% purity actually good or is not that straightforward in my experience. I have been on this for 12 months and the reality is messier than the trials suggest.

Don't get me wrong — the medication works. But cost accessibility is a real barrier. We should be honest about that.

Slightly tangential to Is 98% purity actually but traveltech_sara reminded me — what is the latest on the oral formulations?

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.

Moderator note: Please keep vendor-specific discussions in the Vendor Reviews section.

I have cleaned up a few off-topic posts. 👍
