Standard titration schedule Each increase happens at minimum four-week intervals, though many providers extend to six or eight weeks per step depending on tolerability
R Substrates conjugated with amino acids include: Benzoic acid (from toluene exposure, food preservatives, and gut bacterial metabolism of polyphenols), conjugated with glycine to form hippuric acid R Bile acids (conjugated with glycine or taurine for proper emulsification and excretion) R NSAIDs and other acyl group drugs Phenylacetic acid (from phenylalanine metabolism), conjugated with glutamine to form phenylacetylglutamine R Salicylic acid (aspirin metabolite), conjugated with glycine to form salicyluric acid R Glycine conjugation is the most common amino acid conjugation
Peptides can also be categorized by size: Oligopeptides contain two to 20 amino acids
