Bloodwork question about selank. Baseline, three weeks in, and the numbers moved in a direction I did not expect.

If you need three other compounds to notice the first one, you have not tested the first one.

Loose evidence is not the same as no evidence and people overcorrect in both directions.

Cold storage, light protection, and a date on the vial. Boring, and it removes half the variables.

The effect size I actually noticed is roughly a third of what the write-ups imply, and it took three weeks to be sure.

Posting to be argued with, mainly.

How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?

Narrow conclusion.

Is a baseline blood test really necessary before starting something like this?

An inconclusive account is useful if it stops the next person mistaking a story for a controlled comparison.

Same here.

Same for me with selank, unfortunately.

A plausible mechanism is not an outcome, and this class is the textbook example.

Sleep, food, or the compound? Yes. Three weeks in on selank and it lines up.

Narrow conclusion, briefly right. Broad conclusion, interestingly wrong. I know which I keep choosing.

Three questions kill most of the confidence in a thread like this: sample size, blinding, who paid. How long have you been on selank?

Name the active ingredient, not just the brand. It makes these threads searchable years later. Currently on selank myself.
