I'm in a third-party independent test group and one of the vial we tested came back with about 78EUs of endotoxins on a T60 batch. Much higher than recent results for the vendor and definitely increasing over time. The vials are testing at about 69mg of tirzepatide. So about 1.13 EUs of endos per mg. And if I'm taking 17mg, then I think I would be receiving about 19EUs of endos per injection.
I've done some research and I think that the FDA says no more than 5EUs of endos per kg of body weight per hour. So, just say I weigh about 110kg then my body could theoretically process 550EUs of endotoxins per hour. So, the 19EUs would seem like a very tolerable limit. Definitely higher than I would have liked to see on the test result, but nothing life threatening (I hope).
I'm wondering if I've done my calculations correctly. And what I'm thinking is that maybe for the first couple of injections out of this batch maybe I'll do a smaller doses and supplement with some other supply to get to the 17mg. I'm also thinking that rather than using this batch until it's done, maybe I would switch between this batch with higher endos and another batch. So, I'm not consistently giving my body these endotoxins weekly. Any other thoughts? I'm also thinking that even with third party testing not everyone is testing for endotoxins, so people are probably going to inject this batch without even knowing about the elevated endos.
