i wonder what's considered a micro dose?

I've heard people who say they're microdosing but just take a GLP-1 7 days per week with the total weekly dose being normal.

i wonder what's considered a micro dose?

The article answers that question: "Rather than injecting the regular introductory weekly dose, people are only taking half that amount or less." For tirzepatide, that would be 1.25 mg per week or less. For semaglutide, that's .125 mg per week or less. I suspect most of the claimed benefits would not appear in a placebo controlled trial. For others, like addiction, maybe it will work. Generally, it just sounds like it's a thing for those who want to try everything new and cool. What does a person do who loves the allure of these new weight loss drugs but is already skinny? Many take microdoses. I also suspect it's a way of people who are already thin to become even thinner without going absolutely crazy.

By the way, I'm not critical of those who take weird doses because, due to trial and error, they find that those work for weight loss. (Diabetes is way outside of my area of knowledge and I hope to keep it that way.)
