Long post, sorry. Egrifta (tesamorelin): what actually has human evidence behind it, and what is extrapolation from animals?
Two weeks is not enough time to attribute anything to a compound unless the effect is dramatic.
Forum consensus and published consensus diverged here about five years ago and never reconverged.
Empty stomach is the advice and nobody explains why, which is why people ignore it.
Anyone got a paper worth reading on this rather than a write-up of a paper?
Reconstitution arithmetic is only half the problem. The other half is what was in the vial.
How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?
This is the kind of post the forum exists for. Water retention was my main issue with tesamorelin too.

Cold storage, light protection, date on the vial. Boring, removes half the variables.
Stupid question: how do you know whether what is in the vial matches the label at all?
My rule, after years of this: if it cannot survive being written down with the numbers attached, it is marketing. Not on tesamorelin but the pattern is familiar.
Loose evidence and no evidence are different, and people overcorrect in both directions.
Where does the human data stop and the extrapolation begin? That is the whole thread.

Narrow conclusion. A year in on tesamorelin and it lines up.
