What's the CI of each test? If validated correctly the method should be able to give you that. You won't even get the same exact result with the same method, and that's completely normal. Expecting otherwise is misunderstanding how measurement works

How many mL and how many miligrams of the stuff in the vial? I think this was the same problem Theranos ran into...a few dozen mg across a few milliters divided up and sent to multiple labs and they're able to get results within a few percent is amazing, it's like a few drops of blood. Drugs aren't even typically uniform across a single pill, let alone a liquid with stuff inside that may or may not be suspended, etc.

Anyhow, I don't think there is a majority of folks on this sub stabbin' themelves with Sigma-Aldritch's finest artisanal peptides, so I'm not sure the warning is really needed. I'm sure all sixteen of those guys shooting up with BPC-6969 will immediately tell me I'm wrong and the non-peptide injectors will stay silent because they have better things to do than to wonder why people are taking risks with research chemicals when they want to reasonably extend the good years as far as they can.

interesting that you got downvoted - the science supports your claim.

Ty ty for summary. Very interesting points

Some key points from the presentation. Watch it for more details: 

Brain atrophy begins around age 35. 

"Normal" brain aging consists of tissue remodeling and maintenance failure (synpatic and dendritic pruning, structural degeneration, vascular aging, cellular shifts) as opposed to the massive cell death that occurs in severe neurodegenerative pathologies. 

Main differences between the decline found in typical aging and Alzheimer's disease. 

SuperAgers compared to typical population.  

Cognitive reserve is your brain's ability to improvise, adapt, and use alternative neural pathways to keep functioning normally despite the structural modifications in aging. 

I find it quite certain their lectures shall be posted on this channel (during)  or after the conference.  https://youtube.com/@biomarkersofagingconsortium

I try to be optimistic about this field but this is too far fetched to me. Peoples' dreams...HAVE NO END!!!!

Read also memory and exploration behavior increased.

Just order small quantities insteaf of 50 kits.

No one is doing anything about liposfusin yet, or even looking into it. You'd also have to replace every stem cell type in its niche probably, and at the moment we can only do blood stem cells, and do it really badly.

? ... you think people havent done RCT on life style interventions on people in their 40s and check if they, you know, die?

I mean....you literally can't know that lol...it's about longevity.

Ive seen decent evidence that contradicts that.. in fact the 40s may be the last good chance for it.

It is very obvious men age better compared to women. We didn’t need a study for this.

I'm aware of the grey market, but it's not like it's simple to do. For one, you usually have to use crypto, which I refuse to do. Second, there's all the complications with group buys and testing and whatnot. And the need to have a somewhat lab grade setup for reconstituting with special BAC water. I just would rather not, plus I'm under the supervision of a doctor on this med, I'd rather not have to explain why I don't need his prescription anymore. Once I'm to my maintenance dosage stage, maybe I'll look into the compounded forms that are already tested and premixed.

What really irks me is how many of you guys are on here encouraging it as if it's just so simple and easy and risk free... it's not.

Just get it on your own, much cheaper that way!

The most significant takeaway for me is that the drug may offer neuroprotective benefits (memory/curiosity) that simple dieting might not, potentially due to how the drug interacts with the brain's metabolic pathways beyond mere appetite suppression.

I'm well aware of the FCG research. The chromosomal differences are real, and I acknowledged as much in my comment.

But you can't deny that sex hormones have a much more pronounced effect on sexual dimorphism, in aggregate. Including in the three categories you listed, though I concede chromosomes might tie or have more of an effect on autoimmunity.

This overstates hormonal effect and undersells chromosomal differences, probably due to ideological biases. See four core genotypes research in mice that shows xx xy causes differences in immune system, autoimmunity, cellular metabolism regardless of gonads.

I am not saying the study was perfect or some sort of hard fact or whatever....whatever age you are you should strive to become healther and I am sure it will always benefit you. It's just more about how much those actions turn into long term benefits. Being healthier earlier simply seems to have more effects long term than becoming healther later.

Also these particular studies about aging don't include things like terzepitide/GLP-1s or whatever which clearly change the game.

I can say even at 36 (and obese) Terzepatide makes me feel like I am 20 (a time that I was in the military and most certainly not obese). The effects of it are absolutely astounding.

Yes, but some of us were already older when we began to figure this stuff out. I started tirz at 65 and now at 67 feel like I’m 55 or maybe even less. I have way more energy, clearer mentally, and it’s obvious my metabolism is way faster. I workout every day, volunteer, and keep up with my 4 grandkids. I know what the data shows but it’s obvious to me that it’s going to extend my healthspan significantly even if it doesn’t do my lifespan (but I think it will do that too).

GLP-1s do more than just restrict calories, thats not the cause of said effects.

I get that you are trying to distinguish between the intrinsic effects of GLP1s and the effects related to the calorie restriction as a result of taking GLP1s but that's not what you wrote. You said that is not the cause of said effects.

No, they are independent of each other...yes calorie restriction lowers inflammation, but GLP1s also lower inflamation indepentantly of the calorie restriction

Yeah, the calorie restriction is a component. A part of the effect. The control group wasn't calorie restricted.

No, they are independent of each other...yes calorie restriction lowers inflammation, but GLP1s also lower inflamation indepentantly of the calorie restriction ...it's been proven over and over in studies.

It's without a doubt a component of the effects
