Thoughts on oral GLP-1s like Orforglipron?

I have been reading quite a bit about the shift toward non peptide options for weight management lately. The idea of Orforglipron /peptides/orforglipron seems BRILLIANT on paper because it removes the need for weekly injections.

I reckon the convenience of a daily pill would be a massive game changer for a lot of people who are simply terrified of needles. I am curious if anyone here has actually had a go with it or knows how the nausea compares to the injectable versions.

For me, the biggest draw is that there is no fasting requirement. Being able to just take it and go about the day without worrying about timing sounds spot on.

That said, I am always a bit skeptical about how oral bioavailability actually plays out in the real world compared to the clinical data. I wonder if the side effects like dyspepsia are more pronounced when it hits the gut directly.

Is anyone currently running this or considering it over the traditional peptides? I would be keen to hear if the weight loss feels as steady or if it is a bit more erratic 🌱.
