This delayed gastric emptying effect may attenuate somewhat with continued use but remains clinically significant
Safety Although the studies included in this review identified no important safety issues, orally administered l-carnitine supplementation has been linked to a increase in trimethylamine (TMA) and trimethylamine- N -oxide (TMAO), as unabsorbed carnitine is metabolised by the gut microbiota to TMA and later oxidised to TMAO in the liver
The differences lie in manufacturing oversight (Ozempic is FDA-approved, Strive is compounded), delivery method (Ozempic uses pre-filled pens, Strive uses multi-dose vials), formulation additions (Strive may include glycine, B12, or B6), and cost (Ozempic costs $800 to $1,200 per month without insurance versus $90 to $200 per month for Strive)
