There have been numerous stories out there about how the GLP pharma companies are starting to go after the compounding pharmacies and weight loss clinics that are offering compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.
One of the things you read over and over is how the non pharma versions are salts or acetate versions of the "real" GLPs. And this someone makes the not real. How this is dangerous, how they may not even work, etc.
While I have a general understanding of esters in how the apply to anabolics, I don't quite get how this applies to peptides.
Can someone dumb this down and explain what exactly a salt version of any GLP is vs the "real" one? Are they really dangerous? Is there any reason to believe the compounded salt version would have any difference in behavior?
