All things Pharma! Whether you are in the industry, interested in organic chemistry, or antique pharmaceutical novelties.
Scientific articles are preferred but not required as long as discussion is sparked.
No requests or sourcing for illegal sales/possession or any of that nonsense
Respect for each individual. That means we expect nurses to not post constant complaints about hospital pharmacy and we can't talk about how nurses almost always refuse counsel. Light hearted and silly is encouraged though because pharmacy right now in all forms is absolutely bananas and some reprieve is crucial to mental health.
I didn’t think I’d have to say it, but don’t post ridiculous political articles bUt ThINk oF ThE cHilDren rhetoric and scare tactics. This is not the place for grandstanding.
Would love to enlist an RPh as a mod so if interested, let me know****

This has been shared a bazillion times on other platforms but will always be relevant unless PBMs get eradicated like the bottom feeders they are

Can anyone help me trace a scientific article from a peer reviewed journal that shows the model of a process of how isolated glycine from supplements can get into blood stream perorally and pass the brain barrier to show the actual effect in humans?
So there is a lot of debate around glycine online and as a layman I struggle to find any actual model that shows how glycine from supplementation actually gets into brain and starts doing all of those amazing things they say it does like helping ADHD people to calm down and concentrate or in others to the contrary evokes anxiety. Some people argue that those effects come from other ingredients from supplementation, such as magnesium. I'm looking for a peer reviewed study on this mechanism in humans. I'm trying to be skeptical and not cling to one prejudice or the other, just wanna see what the actual studies show if any
/pic unrelated, just added cuz it wouldn't let me post otherwise

[showerthoughtsofficial]: When medication says "do not operate heavy machinery" they're probably mainly referring to cars, but my mind always goes to forklift.
[sauntervaguelydownward]: It has honestly never occured to me that this warning was about cars and not construction equipment
