Greetings niggas, I found a study suggesting weekly teriparatide dosing may preferentially increase cortical bone more than the usual daily injections.
TERABIT Trial – QCT Analysis
-Compared daily (20 µg) vs weekly (56.5 µg) teriparatide
-Weekly dosing increased cortical volumetric BMD and cortical bone volume more than daily dosing
- This suggests weekly PTH favours cortical structure which is what we want when the goal is visible bone growth
PubMed link
From what I gather Daily PTH tends to target trabecular bone (spine, vertebrae), while weekly PTH appears to favour cortical bone modelling.

Cortical gains could theoretically contribute to bone thickness/projection in areas like the mandible/chin/zygomatics. Let me know your thoughts.
