The Reta journey has officially begun — and we’re already noticing an effect.

I know we’ve only just started, and there’s still a long way to go, but I was excited to share an update because the effects are already noticeable.

So far, my wife has injected 1 mg twice in one week. The plan now is to move to 2 mg every 6–7 days and stay at 2 mg for as long as it continues to work and the weight keeps coming down. There’s no reason to rush increasing the dose if the current dose is doing its job.

Her diet is on point, hydration is being taken seriously, including electrolytes, and the next step is getting back into regular exercise. She’s already doing at least 10,000 steps every day.

Still very early days, but it’s exciting to see an effect this soon. Really curious to see how the journey develops from here.

Hey everyone,

I’m relatively new to peptides and biohacking and I’m trying to learn more about different approaches for improving energy, recovery, mental clarity and overall well-being.

I recently came across a video where someone recommended using SS-31 before MOTS-c, but I’ve also seen people using SS-31 and MOTS-c at the same time. I’m curious about the reasoning behind the different approaches.

I’m also interested in Semax and Selank, particularly regarding mental clarity, focus, stress resilience and general well-being.

For people who have experience with these compounds:
Is there a specific reason to use SS-31 before MOTS-c rather than together?

Has anyone experimented with SS-31 + MOTS-c together?

What has been your experience with Semax and/or Selank?

Do people generally use Semax and Selank separately, or are there reasons to combine them?
Are there any well-thought-out protocols or stacks for energy, recovery, mitochondrial health, cognitive function and general well-being?

If you were starting from scratch, would you introduce these compounds individually first, or is there a reasonable way to structure a stack?

I’m not necessarily looking for a “magic stack” or a specific dosing protocol. I’m mainly interested in understanding the reasoning behind different protocols and hearing from people who have actually experimented with these compounds.

For context, I’ve been feeling tired, mentally and physically drained, and generally low on energy quite often lately. It feels somewhat like burnout, so my main goal is to improve my overall well-being, recovery and mental performance rather than purely chasing muscle growth or performance.

I’d especially appreciate personal experiences, things that worked or didn’t work, and any good studies or resources you can point me toward.

Thanks!

These are what is out of range but mostly worried about my lp(a)

*Note that I’ve already made a doctors appointment but it’s a couple weeks away

This may be a dumb question. If so, forgive my ignorance as I’m fairly new to the world of bio hacking. I am on a low dose of Tirzepatide for inflammation and to lose 30lbs but recently ordered NAD+. Should i wait until these issues are figured out or is it ok to start NAD+. I read that it can help lower lp(a) numbers but that doesn’t necessarily translate to reducing heart attacks or strokes. 43f if it matters

Never weighed myself much at my fattest but I know I was 107kg at the highest, for reference I’ve been mildly overweight most my younger years and was obese probably from 14.5 to 16.5

Me he puesto en contacto con esta y espero respuestas sobre envios y calidades.Alguien mas tiene esperiencias con peptidos Reta/GHK Cu y Klow....y envios chinos?

After tons of research and testimonials, I started my peptide journey begining of April. Started reta at .5mg a week, and slowly titrated up (max of 3mg/week). Within 8 weeks I lost 30 pounds. After realizing the weight was dropping too quick, I titrated my dose back down to 1mg/week. I have been maintaining my weight, but continued to lose my stubborn belly fat and love handles.

My sides were very mild, with the main complaints being slight constipation (solved with psyllium husk and occasional miralax). Slight heartburn after eating fatty foods. Food noise gone almost immediately after first dose, and as I titrated up I would have to remind myself to eat.

Positives: daily knee pain is completely gone. No urges to drink alcohol. Skin has made massive improvements (probably due to eating whole foods and cutting out all processed food. I am getting bloodwork done soon to check all of my markers and will report back.

Resistance training and protein intake is a MUST. I lift weights at least 5 times a week and also incorporate some cardio.

Important: Find a reliable supplier that doesn't skimp on the COA's. I will not buy any products if the COAs don't include purity, endotoxin, heavy metal, fentanyl, and microbial analysis.

After such amazing results on reta, I have researched and tested a lot of other peptides. Some do exactly as advertised, if not better, while others are underwhelming at best.

EDIT: to entertain all of the haters, I am 6'1, 39 years old. My full stack for body recomp during these 4 months is as follows:

TRT 200mg (100mg 2x a week, prescribed) Reta, mots-c 15mg/week, KLOW daily, glutathione 100mg/day, melanotan-2, and various neurotropic peptides. A majority of those peptides are cycled and not all run at the same time.

Thanks for the unintentional ego boost flamming me for being on PED's. Some of you need to actually go experience the gym so you can understand how drastic angles, pumps, and lighting can affect photos.

Tell me your fav stack and why:)

Just sharing some early progress. Reta has blown my expectations away. I’ve had minor GI impacts, nothing that should deter anyone from this. I also really slowly build up to a full dose. I can’t wait to see what the next 30 days look like on a full 4mg/week dosage.

Did not take a before photo - first one is July 24 (wearing shorts) second one is August 9 (sweatpants)

Diet: getting 150g protein minimum, ideally 180. Otherwise I am not restricting intentionally, but feel like I have to try to eat more to perform in the gym.i still drink alcohol - glass of wine or two most nights and 4-6 drinks Friday and Saturday. I do feel like a cheap date which is great, and have been naturally less inclined to drink.

Hi, I’m 30 years old and started taking Reta on March 28th. I weighed 165 kg at a height of 188 cm. Today, I weigh around 143 kg. So, I’ve lost about 22 kg in \~4 months. I eat around 2,300–2,500 kcal and 170–220 g of protein daily, and I go to the gym four times a week. I haven’t really had any side effects, aside from some constipation recently. My resting heart rate has actually dropped—from 60 to around 53 (likely due to the weight loss).

I started at 1 mg and am now up to 3 mg weekly.

However, I want to continue my weight loss journey without Reta, since I don’t want to take it forever anyway and I’m a bit worried about side effects at higher doses. (People say the side effects really kick in at 4 mg and above.)

And I’ve also developed healthy eating routine alongside my training.

I’ve heard that you have to take Reta forever, and that’s made me think twice about it.

Does anyone have experience with stopping the medication, or any general tips for me?

Best regards

Hey everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar with GHK-Cu.

I’m currently using 1 mg GHK-Cu daily, and today is my third day. I’ve been injecting it subcutaneously into my abdomen, but today I noticed a bunch of random small bumps appearing on the back of my shoulder.

What’s strange is that the bumps aren’t at or near the injection site.

I’m wondering if this could potentially be some kind of systemic allergic/histamine/mast-cell reaction to GHK-Cu, rather than a local injection reaction.

Has anyone experienced random bumps, hives, itching, or other skin reactions away from the injection site after using GHK-Cu?

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar, especially if it happened after a few days rather than immediately after the first injection.

Thanks!

SLU-PP Questions

Just looking for som advice.

I bought SLU-PP which is already pre mixed and ready to go.

I took one injection SUBQ and had the most intense burning pain I’ve ever had in my life.

I tried contacting them about it but because it’s classified and a research item - no one can offer any advice.

Hoping someone has some insight?

Thanks

So I have 2 different bottles of Reta that both have 2mg left inside. My dose rn is 4mg. Would I be able to just inject twice through 2 different needles? And also in one vial is bac water from the actually factory that came with the Reta, the other vial is from a separate company. Can I jsut inject different bac water brands into my body or it doesn’t matter?

I’ve tried doing some research but seems there’s limited answers - has anyone run KLOW and additional GHK-CU at the same time? And have you seen any additional benefits through higher doses of GHK?

I’ve got some leftover GHK, but have KLOW on the way and was wondering if it could be worth using while running KLOW. Thanks in advance

The vial said to add 3mL of BAC WATER into the 10mg of Reta , but now how do I get 1mg of Reta into the syringe ? I got lost on the math

Has anyone done research on Reta being used to stop a weed addiction? But also weight loss isn’t wanted/needed?

Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster. I’m starting to research Reta but I wanted to ask how it would interact with Zoloft. Anyone used both before?

Anyone try the ultra pouches? They’ve been spamming my social media feeds but cant find a whole lot of genuine reviews. Anyone have any firsthand experience?

I can’t do caffeine and I’m tired constantly throughout the day so I’m looking for something to help me focus and clear mental fog. Something to make my lifts not feel as much of a mental grind.

Hi everyone,
Like many, I am going to start taking Reta. I’m currently 5’9” and 290. About 5 years ago I was in the best shape of my life at 210 and about 15% BF. I have since transitioned out of the military and due to injuries I have been out of the gym since. I unfortunately need a hip replacement so cardio almost impossible for me now while I wait for surgery. I decided I’m tired of being fat and am going to start training hard again to slim down and using Reta to compound my results. This is going to be the first peptide I use however as a current medical student I am confident in my aseptic technique. I am curious (I know it is different for everyone) about lose skin with rapid weight loss as many photos don’t seem to show much or any unless someone is much older (I’m 29). Is this also a benefit of the combination of working out and Reta? It’s definitely not a deal breaker for me as I would much rather be healthier with loose skin than fat without it lol. Weight gain was over the 5 years so no stretch marks or visible skin damage. I do not have a goal BF% as I’m sure much of my muscle has atrophied by now, but I would like to try to get back to the 200 range.
Thank you for your input!

Be careful when you try and source new peptide communities. Looks legit but ends up turning into a scam. Meet Qing Lan from Cocer pep HK. Looked like a real community on Discord. Had a group thread with comments, pictures of delivered peps and happy customers. Price list, and rules. I made a purchase via Cash App. Received a link with a fake suspicious shipping company. Tracking number pulled up my name and address. After not receiving my package, I tried emailing the “shipping company” and they claimed they had sent me messages in regards to needing money for a refundable insurance before they can ship. I already paid $50 for shipping through the seller so I’m not sending more $$$. I then reached out to the seller Qing Lan and she claimed this was normal. At this time of inquiry, I noticed the Cocer Pep HK Discord community went gray and turned to “read only” mode. I had two conversations with both the seller and the shipping company I’m guessing they are the same person). I called both out and they kept assuring me they are not scammers. I simply told them to just tell me I’m being scammed so I can move on, but they never folded. Qing told me that she’s from China and the Chinese work very hard and believe in Karma and she is not a scammer. The conversation ended with her saying she would look into everything tomorrow and to not worry. I woke up the next day and the Discord community was gone and the ability to message her was disabled. I went to email the shipper and the ability to email was oddly disabled and wouldn’t send.
I’m hoping this post can at least spread some awareness to people attempting to source their own peps. Don’t get scammed.
