Semaglutide structural biology relevant to the pharmacology: semaglutide is a 31-amino acid peptide with 94% homology to native GLP-1(7-36).

Right, and the exception is worth naming rather than left implied, because the exception is where people get into trouble.

The pharmacokinetics explain nearly every practical question asked here.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion.

I read this differently from VanRx_Mike, on substance rather than tone. Pushing back on the anecdote-stacking. Twenty people reporting the same thing is twenty samples from the same self-selected pool, not twenty independent confirmations.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. For anyone reading later: the numbers in this thread are worth checking against a primary source before you act on them, including mine. Half the figures circulating in this community trace back to a secondary summary that dropped a qualifier.
