The problem with online is, were all those Reddit posts you saw just astroturfers? And the whole point, to drum up funding for Reta? Or buzz?

One person can easily turf as 1000 too, posting from a few accounts every day over the course of a year.

The studies for Reta are showing gangbusters results. And it's being developed by Eli Lilly, so they hardly need funding.

I swapped to Reta from Tirz and have found it to be a significantly better option myself.

This is a valid concern but the subreddits I'm thinking about are not quite that -- no one is selling or trying to push you to some distributor, it's a lot of the bodybuilding/peptide crowd. More like walking into a classic forum thread than modern reddit. You can tell by the comments.
