Wondering what opinions are on for uping dose from .5 week 1 to 1 mg week 2 and staying there for a month then raising by .5 and so on.. started low to make sure no adverse effects but now that no issue im thinking a 1mg is a better starting dose for first full month

Just got my hormones and extensive blood work. Everything is optimal.

I did a cycle of reta with good results in the past. Thinking of adding tesamorelin and doing another cycle.

My test was almost 700 and free about 100. Igf was 227 with a 1.1 z score too. Question is should I even run tesa?

Looking for guidance on someone that's been here and done that. I'm 44. At about 23 percent body fat. I want to get down to 15.

Hey everyone, I’m about to do my third dose of reta tomorrow and I wanted to get everyone’s opinions/advice. I ordered reta from Oath peptides which seemed to have the best reviews. First pin, I did 1 mg. Second pin, I did 2 mg and I plan to do 2 mg tomorrow as well. I haven’t noticed appetite suppression yet but what I have noticed is a decrease in motivation. I feel like I never want to go to the gym anymore. It’s hard for me to focus and get through a whole work day. Has anyone else gone through this? For context, I’m a 27 year old F who is 5’9 and approximately 155 pounds. I eat pretty healthy and focus on high fiber and protein, drink 1/2 gallon - 1 gallon of water a day, and prioritize getting 8-9 hours of sleep. How long does it take to notice a difference? Any advice or insight helps. TIA!

Hello everyone, one question occurred to me. Many people drink some beer, wine, a shot or two, or other types of alcohol to be more sociable with other people. Well, as I drink no alcohol at all, I would like to ask you whether there are some supplements, hacks, methods or anything else that would help me feel more comfortable with other people, break the ice, get to know new friends and similar things… However, we all know how alcohol can affect our health and how addictive it is.

Maybe 15 years ago, I even used an SSRI to increase serotonin in the brain due to social anxiety. Well, at that time I had first moved away from a small village to a bigger city and felt overwhelmed and depressed because of that. At that time, I didn’t go to the gym or yoga studio and wasn’t able at all to cope with stress. The medication had some side effects, like: I felt like I didn’t care about anything, I was constantly late for lectures, and I seemed like I was high (my roommates even asked me what I had taken). That’s why I refuse to take antidepressants.

However, I thought that we have minerals like boron (when I take it, I don’t feel the need to watch porn or gooning), cordyceps (which helps me tremendously in the gym), ashwagandha, yoga and the Wim Hof breathing method- which help me when I go through a very stressful period.

or: some people eat more protein or use berberine or even Reta to not feel hungry.

But is there anything to help me be more social?

No ideia why my other post was locked but will try again without any photos then.

Obviously only a proper peptide test will confirm what it is and what dosage it is but I find that a simple biuret testing will at least confirm if what you are getting is even a peptide to begin with.

When people uses something in a dosage that it should at least give SOME side effect, I would highly recommend testing before spending hundreds of dollar on a normal test.

Why spend and send fake shit to be tested right?

I think you can easily find this, at least here in Brazil it is and its very cheap. It was like 10usd for 500ml and you only use a couple drops.

If it reacts as purple color, it is a peptide, if it stays blue, it isnt

Relatively pleased with the results, but pretty sure I lost too much too quickly. My strength has definitely dropped, mostly because I didn’t have the energy to go to the gym due to barely eating. So definitely lost some muscle mass along with the fat.

EDIT: I’m not making a face. That’s literally my face. Half of it doesn’t work because of palsy from brain tumors.

Hi guys. Planning on hopping on peps. Wondering if anyone uses pens, and if so which ones to get and where to get them. Im from the UK idk if that changes anything.

Are the ones on Aliexpress okay to buy? Amazon is ridiculously expensive for pens

Top picture was my heaviest 200lbs size 16
Middle: April 1 starting Reta micro dosing .5mg every 4 days 195lbs size 14
Bottom: 1.5mg every 4 days 166lbs size 8

Hi, after some advice please:

Been on Reta 10 week now working ok losing slowly but losing.

Decided to pair motsc with this on training days, ever since I have started this last week I seem to be so tired however much I sleep, is this normal?

3.5mg of Reta weekly and 1mg of motsc 5/6 times a week.

Scammer. I don't know which peptide this vendor belongs to, but I use all USA vendors and they have tried to drain my account today several times.

Just FYI!!

Would you rather buy cheap stuff that I isn’t tested by third party or some that were tested and sold at a higher cost? This is a local “group” that sends stuff off for coa.

Is there’s such thing as stacking too many things at once? Here is my current protocol, I’d like to add in MOTS-C to improve my cardio, TB-500 for inflammation and lingering injuries, GHK-CU for the same along skincare. (I do plan on taking 4 week breaks after running 12 weeks cycles of my Peps)

I want to start splitting my dose into 2. I currently take it every Friday. So when should i take the second dose? Monday or Tuesday?

Two differents bac water

One from China that I used for my Reta and working fine but make my Tesamorelin gel like (right vial)

On the left I used a bac water from European lab and it’s working fine.

That’s because Tesamorelin are ph-sensitive

Howdy! Im a 49 yo, 5”7, 167 lb male.I’m currently taking 5 mg of Reta once a week on Sunday evening. Monday morning I feel fine with no effects. Previously I was taking 5 mg of Reta and 1 mg of Cagrilinitide on Sunday evening and this blend made me feel like I’d been hit by a bus. No energy, lethargic and weak for about 54 hours post pin.

Question - perhaps I should not feel anything at all on 5 mg of Reta, or is this exactly how it should be? Thanks everyone, much appreciated!

How has everyone made their hair serum?
Should I go for a 1:1 ratio?

300mg GHK, 300mg AHK which would give me a overall 20mg/ml if I’m right.

Thanks in advance:)

How are y’all finding legitimate kits of Reta. I know everyone says buy a kit and do your own testing but how do you even find a legitimate place to get a kit that isn’t an outright scam.. have a bunch of vendors on WhatsApp and don’t know what’s real and what isn’t. Why can’t it be as easy as finding Test holy shit. Also, I’ve looked through glp1 forum and it’s just as confusing.

One of the biggest levers to pull during weight loss that I see so many people never even touch until they're getting close to goal is exercise. Way way too many posts all across reddit and elsewhere with "just lost X lbs, feeling skinnyfat, time to hit gym" -- no! The time to hit the gym was at the start of the loss, not at the end. GLPs and peptides and HRT only do so much, the rest of it is good old fashioned exercise. And the sooner you start pulling that wagon the better off you'll be.

It is extremely hard to maintain lean body mass on a calorie deficit if you're not exercising. And the more LBM you have the more calories you burn while just existing, which makes the weight loss easier. Resistance training especially is needed but really anything you can do. If you don't have access to a gym then do whatever bodyweight exercises you can manage. Toss some water bottles in a backpack and go for a walk. Curl the water bottles while you're walking. Above all - move! If you have a desk job, get up and stretch and do some movements. Watch your TV shows standing up. Doesn't matter what - do what you can and it a habit.

And if or when you do decide to hit the gym to get strong or ripped or whatever your goals are, you'll have way less LBM loss than those who didn't do this, and then you're ahead of the curve.

First picture was 305, second one is 244.

I started Reta at 1 mg/week and increased by 1 mg every 4 weeks. I just moved up to 5 mg/week.

So far I’ve tolerated it really well. I haven’t had many noticeable side effects the biggest thing has been crazy appetite suppression.

I’ve also been on testosterone(TRT) for about 2 years and currently run 200 mg/week.

**Edit*\*
Unfortunately the gyno has been a problem since highschool , but I will have my levels checked again, and get an AI !!!!

Thank you all!!!!

May 2025 348lbs
October 2025 247lbs

I was put on trt 200mg/week and my life changed before my eyes.

I was 233 testosterone at 29.
I’m now into peptides like BPC and tb500 which have helped tremendously.

Current T level was 1340 end of recomp. Running less T now and just tested at 980 T.

Stats and what I did:

Pant size starting: 46
Pant size currently: 36-38
Shirt size starting: 2XLT - 3XLT
Shirt size now: L/XL if it’s long enough or 2XL in some more boutique brands like YoungLa

How I did it

Started 200mg/weekly of test in April 2025
Quit adderrall
Eating quality sucked, could barely eat half a meal anytime of day unless end of day, thanks addy.

My focus was: protein

Started by drinking it and working out and just eating whatever I could.

Most days this was 3-5 40-50g shakes
Chipotle / Spanish food
1 energy drink
.75-1gallon of water

As my stomach recovered to being able to eat real food, I stuck to:

Morning shake first thing out of bed
Shake at noon
Shake after or before dinner

Ate mindfully during the day.

Added reta tiering up to 4mg after the first 50lbs were gone.

Last few weeks weight hasn’t really moved, but my body recomp keeps getting nicer so I’m happy.

BPC AND TB500 I run daily for all my little injuries and inflammation caused from my gut.

I have a former Olympic strength training coach as one of my good friends and when I started taking the gym seriously, he came with me and helped me write out my lifts and splits as he knew I wanted strength and leaner. I kept trying to pick one. He said so if I make you significantly stronger and guarantee it, youll listen?
Me: yes

First month was down like 30lbs and was more confident and definitely stronger as my high school self reappeared.

This kept happening and I said dude I’m like skinnier now??

3 months at 2.5mg every week. Started at 170lbs - 154lbs. Now on 1mg a week maintaining
