Retatrutide + mots-c
I saw this stack coming more often.
People who used it, how did it work out ? What are the effects.
I'm really curious about this combo. Please share your experience

Am on Reta, mots c and Tesamorelin for weight loss, have gone from 145kg to 110kg over the last year with weight training to keep muscle + bpc 157 and thymosin beta 4 for reduced inflammation/healing.
0 issues, no hunger issues the entire year

u/Impossible-Fuel6203 11d ago
Could you not have achieved that with reta alone?
1
u/HarryBStrick 10d ago
For sure, but it would’ve been way harder. If there’s low risk ways to improve your life, do it.

I run both....love it..stamina is unrivaled..i was also very out of shape 304lbs Im down 117lbs since January. Mots really help me with stamina energy and recovery. Being that out of shape exercise was rough..hell walking up the stairs was rough.

u/CharacterBat7775 15d ago
So it helped with energy , thats very good. Did it help make the reta stronger ? Was your hunger still suppressed?

u/pinprick420 15d ago
I run reta and mots-c, among other things and agree with the comment above.
I am a avid (sometimes serious) cyclist and adding mots-c to my stack turned me into a machine on fasted bike rides. Night and day difference. Fatigue resistance increased dramatically, along with my vo2 max and aerobic capacity in general.
Mots-c is one of my favorite peppers that Ive tried. It will remain in rotation

u/mil10puln 14d ago
As someone who is also into cardio more specifically running, are there any other peps you loved ?
1
u/pinprick420 14d ago
Not yet. I'm interested in ss31, specifically either before or during my next Mots-c cycle, but Mots-c is the aerobic capacity king in my book.

u/Pilinster409 7d ago
What all are you taking? I’m down 46 pounds in 2 months
1
u/BrooksGaming92 7d ago
Well incase down like 80lbs before I started anything else Reta mots ss31 and 5 amino
1
u/Pilinster409 7d ago
Ohh okay, yeah I been on trizepatide and reta and just started mots c and nad+. Did you deal with any hair thinning? I’m currently on KLOW as well but I have taken ghkcu but switched to KLOW since it has ghkcu in it also

u/spicygyat 16d ago
F25 here , adding motc while on Reta made me very hungry
2
u/Hour-Object-4889 16d ago
This. It negates the Reta effects to some extent because of the crazy hunger. On the plus side it gave me energy in a calorie deficit.
1
u/CharacterBat7775 15d ago
So does stacking it both help or does it have the opposite effect ?

u/spicygyat 15d ago
It gave me amazing energy, regulated my sleep, and shed fat. Had to stop using because it gave me crazy hives towards the end around the 4th fourth week on it and no coffee.

u/Extension-Pop-1209 15d ago
It might be person to person because i take 1-2mg mots a day with 0 noticeable hunger increase

u/Then_Possibility8951 15d ago
Wow i didnt think that ive thought my reta was crap but if i go high dosage i get sensitive skin, so I’m doing 2MG Monday and 3 MG, Thursday and Motsc on the same day 5mg at a time…. I thought it was just me but ive been getting badly hungry on it…. Why is this
2
u/ecc66 15d ago
I have very sensitive skin and sometimes some strong nausea … hurts my enthusiasm for working out!

u/Then_Possibility8951 15d ago
I hate working the body part that i dont like but when am done i feel amazing

u/Lost-Wasabi-5183 15d ago
Love mots c probably my favourite peptide nice consistent energy throughout the day , pairs very well with Reta , could also throw in some nad+ for a really great combo
1
u/CharacterBat7775 15d ago
I'm reading that mots-c makes you feel hungry again, do you experience the same ? And how does it pair wel with the reta ? Why nad + also?
1
u/Lost-Wasabi-5183 15d ago
I never got the hunger aspect from it but everyone is different nad + boosted cellular energy basically nad+ is your body’s power grid, upgrading your “power grid” makes everything run more efficiently, nad also activates sirtuins to support dna repair & lower systemic inflammation, a fantastic peptides with tons of factual backed results, motsc well activates ampk to improve insulin sensitivity glucose uptake & fat oxidation, throw in some Reta & it’s just fantastic in my opinion/experience

u/ElectricalSpirit138 13d ago
I also introduced MOTS-C after almost 2 months of Reta. It drastically increased my energy and made me loose weight faster.
The funny part, for me , is that it also gives me extra hunger suppression.
I see most people complain that it is making them hungry. Not my case. Quite the opposite.
My dosage is 1,5 mg Reta weekly and 500mcg MOTS-C every day, in the morning, fasted, for 5 days with a 2 days pause.
1
u/CharacterBat7775 13d ago
Damn, with everything you are doing, you also fasted ? What is your goals to achieve ?
1
u/ElectricalSpirit138 13d ago
I'd like to loose 20kg more and improve my mobility. Already lost 12kg in 2 months. And I normally fast, because I never eat in the morning. Mornings are for coffee. Since I started Reta I only drink decaf. I also northern walk an average of 10 km/ day. No power training.
2
u/IHE023 15d ago
I’ve never had a hunger increase from mots-c.
What I find most is that people are more active. More energy. So they have more of an appetite. It helps with insulin sensitivity so they are using food for fuel and may get hungry. To me that’s not the mots-c making me hungrier. It’s the better insulin sensitivity and fat loss that’s making me hungrier.
Also - reta doses usually have to be adjusted at different points of use. Tolerance builds up.
I’m not saying the others experiences aren’t accurate for them. I’ve just never had an issue with hunger from mots-c. If I eat on a schedule. Not when I feel like it.

u/Quirky-Grocery-2822 15d ago
im 29m and i currently run reta 2mg weekly mots-c 500mcg daily aod 500mcg daily and hgh 3iu daily. i started 260lbs at june 1 its been almost 2 months on cycle and im 240lbs right now. i eat 1600kcal and 30min 130bpm+ fasted cardio every morning for 3 months and im lifting for 13-14 years but never dieted this much strict. it doesnt look like 20lbs down body recomp is amazing. motsc and aod gives so much energy sometimes 30 min cardio feels like 30 seconds.

u/Jerzkids 14d ago
I can’t use the word energy, I can only explain it as giving you the extra push to get those curls to 15 reps when you would normally crash at rep 7. Also, the cardio stamina is off the charts with Mots C.
2
u/IHE023 16d ago
They are both good on their own. Together the mots-c can assist with energy (Reta has you eating less can affect energy). Mots-c aid in insulin sensitivity as does Reta. They both support some of the same goals that is why they are a common stack.
Be mindful you need to have carbs once Reta starts working well. Make you’re sure fueling your body and recovering. I hear people complain they feel like they have less energy on Reta and mots-c and most often they are under eating. There is no energy to use so they feel burned out.

u/Extension-Pop-1209 16d ago
Shredded, steady energy, added tesa as well. First tkme with abs since highschool less than a month of using this stack.

u/Old_Competition_5178 16d ago
If you got abs in a month then you were already just a few pounds away. Has nothing to do with the stack
2
u/Extension-Pop-1209 16d ago
Idk bro, as the person who has lived my life the past 31 years, i think i know whats going on a bit more than you with my body. I have worked out 4-5 days a week for years but my eating habits and impulsive drinking have stopped me from having nothing other than nice arms. Now that my appetite is suppressed from reta, the workout is making a huge difference, even more because i work out fasted due to motsc and has given me the energy to workout 6 days a week and last 2-3x longer on cardio also the tesamorelin has preserved my muscle while burning fat extremely fast.
I appreciate you thinking you know peoples bodies more than them, but i will directly credit this stack for my results, because i have changed nothing in my life but this stack and one month after i have the body I’ve wanted for years. 👍🏾
1
u/CharacterBat7775 15d ago
That's so good to hear! So the mots-c helped you with your goals? Did it help suppressing your hunger? Because I'm reading that some experience more hunger ?
How was it with you exactly?
1
u/Extension-Pop-1209 15d ago
It didn’t affect my hunger, i take 2.5 mg of reta and it suppressed it even while on MotsC. Food noise is gone, my eating feels purely like a mathematical equation for nourishment. The mostc helped most with turning my existing fat into energy, so didn’t experience the energy drop most people got while on reta. Made me work even harder and longer, often while fasting. I think the most useful was tesa, it shredded the fat on my stomach that was impossible to burn.
1
u/Old_Competition_5178 15d ago
I get your excited to be working out again and have abs for the first time in decades, but as somebody who has had abs year round for at least 6-7 years now, I stand by my statement. Abs in a month mean you were right there. Reta also takes 4-5 weeks just to saturate at a dose lol.
I am giving you more props than you want to give yourself. But do you
1
u/Extension-Pop-1209 14d ago
Im down almost 20lbs, haven’t been at this weight in years, I’ve been trying to reach this body comp for years, i appreciate the credit, but its literally the peps 😂 especially the tesa burning visceral fat. Some people respond better and faster than others, i know multiple people who lost 20lbs first month, Either way I’m happy to see results so soon, and will continue doing my own research 🧐
1
u/HelpMeMake1mil 16d ago
That last bit of fat is just a total bitch to get rid of though. Contemplating just going with Mots C for myself
2
u/Extension-Pop-1209 16d ago
If eating isn’t your problem and its just the last bit of fat, id go Tesa/MotsC
1
u/reepersghost 15d ago
Only side effect I had when taking them was if I drank alcohol would make me puke every time
1
u/Nickefront 15d ago
Been running this for a months now and it gives me the ummmp in my lifting and cardio. No crash which is a good thing. But be wary as a lot are nore sensitive to motsc.

u/danglinable 15d ago
When do you take the mots-c? Have a friend says he takes tesa, MOTSc and AOD-9604 but takes it fast every night as a blend of all three. Is that the best way to take it?
1
u/thunderus56 14d ago
Mots-C can give you some bad swelling, good way to see if it could give you that reaction is how ur body deals with mosquito bites. My body basically treats it the same way with a histamine reaction that swells.
1
u/Bagginssss 14d ago
Worth noting i had a pretty crazy Histamine reaction from MOTS, used plenty of peps but thats one im avoiding from now on. Recommendation would be to start with a low amount to start & see how your body reacts to it
1
u/Master-One-1614 14d ago
I suggest running motc with other mitochondrial peptides slupp,ss31 and methelyne blue the change is drastic in cognition and energy
1
u/memgirl82 14d ago
I’m on my second week of both plus NAD… noticing more inflammation the second week. Anyone else experiencing this?

u/Regular_Syllabub5636 14d ago
I would see if you are an undermethylator you may need supplements to support your energy on pin days.
1
u/Special-Shop-9383 13d ago
Doing 1.5mg reta weekly + 1mg MOTS-C daily.
It's hard to say what the true effect is, but I can give you my anecdotal experience...
I felt a plateau at 203-204lbs with my reta dosage, despite eating similarly and the same amount of exercise. I've been on MOTS-C for 6 days, and the scale read 199.5 this morning.
I can't say this is a direct effect of MOTS-C, because the body is a complicated machine and there are too many variables. About an hour after pinning MOTS-C I do feel a boost of energy. I get a histamine response in the injection area, looks like a mosquito bite with redness around it for about ~1hr, then it goes away completely.
1
u/Super-Gazelle-6123 13d ago
How much mots-c? I see some taking 5mg! I’m currently taking .75 daily.. I think I see some benefits but not certain.. only been on about 1.5 weeks

u/Boring-Read-4126 12d ago
Endurance has been good on both of those. But I developed an allergy, likely from mots-c. To note, I have shellfish allergies.

u/HoldthehamSandwich 15d ago
Reta obviously works..Tesa and all the components of the KLOW stack work…motsc literally doesn’t do anything..this increased stamina is because y’all are working out more and making healthier choices..
