Research-grade vs pharma-grade: honest comparison

Just wanted to say, How are you handling injection-day fatigue. My last check-up came back looking great. So glad I'm not alone in this.

Coming back to this thread, The sulfur burps almost made me quit, slowing down eating helped. Constipation was my big one, magnesium at night helped a ton. Rooting for you. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.
