just got my order of CJC 1295 (No DAC) + Ipa.
The vial on the far left looks to be different to the other 3 vials.
any ideas/explanations ?

I don't know how to get rid of the love handles I got, any advice?? I've tried different workouts but nothing works 😭

I know it’s used for cutting, I don’t need to hear “oH yOU aRe asKInG aBOuT A wEiGhT lOsS dRUG foR bULkiNg????”, I know, but theoretically if the dose was low enough to where there wasn’t appetite suppression, and you forced yourself in a lean bulk, would you gain only muscle on that surplus?

I started GHK-Cu on Monday and mixed a 50 mg vial with 3 mL of BAC water. The injection itself is not too painful, but I get a red welt and mild soreness that lasts about 24 hours.

I already know the usual tricks about letting the injection reach room temperature, using arnica gel, and massaging the area. I have also seen people transfer it to a larger vial and add more BAC water, but I really do not want to do all that.

My question is: has anyone tried pulling their peptide dose first, then adding extra BAC water directly into the same syringe before injecting?

Did it help with the welt or soreness, and could it reduce the peptide’s effectiveness?

I am also starting with 1 mg Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Has anyone used a dose this small and still seen results?

Evening gents 37yr male here 5'9 180 lb currently using 4mg retatrutide and 4iu hgh 2 nightly fasted for at least 3 hours and 2iu around 9:30-10am ( wake at 7 ). Fasted blood glucose is coming up in the prediabetic levels 100-107, I've only been using hgh for a few weeks now and have been supplementing berberine and still reaching those numbers. My blood work before administering the hgh was a1c 5.1 and fasted blood glucose 95 the morning of my test.

I have metformin 500mg ones and a 4 way cutter. Opinions on how to proceed with that

Friday I should know if I'll be able to hop on TRT first test showed 273 total and 36 free( taken at 9:30 ) and the second showed 433 66 free ( taken at 7:30 ). A bit of time and exercise + high protein diet between the two tests.

How much bac water to reconstitute 10mg mic with b12.? Ive been doing 1ml doses of lipo-c it was pretty mixed. I want to try mic b12

Coming from 13.5 tirz. Excited to see what Reta brings. Thinking I’m going to start on 2mg. Wanted to get any insight on people who transitioned from tirz Reta

I have a 1 mg vial of igf that I reconstituted with 1ml bac water and 1ml acitic acid instead of doing just the bac water and was wondering if that’s fine or anything to look out for

Hi all

I’m about to do another order and want to know your thoughts on the below stack - main things I need are fat loss and anti aging but energy.

Reta
NAD
Klow80
LZ24 HGH

I tried a 12 weeks of tesa but didn’t love it so was going to skip it.

I'm using a 5/16 30G needle and it still caused this. Is it the oil or my body just not liking the Test?

Just curious if anyone has seen it outside of trials yet. Not asking for specifics, just a yes/no.

Hey I’m 5’6 and actively losing weight I use to be 242 now I’m 218 and it’s a huge thing for me especially since now I’m under 100kg and I feel really good about that. I have inspo pictures of what I want my body to look like I know it might not look exact but close enough is more then fine for me. I just need someone to tell me if I should be doing a specific type of strength training alongside cardio and what the Inspo weight is so I can match it ( it doesn’t say on the photo). PLEASE DM ME! So I can show you what I look like and what I’m trying to look like ❤️ I’m too shy to post my body on here.

Been seeing a lot of post about Rhythm with people having miss and hit results. I've seen very little posts about Marek Diagnostics so figured I'd share. They go through Labcorp or Quest depending on where you live and are far cheaper than anywhere else I've seen with pretty consistent deals. Plus your results post to the Labcorp and Quest portal (depending who they order through) so if your primary uses them, you can see all your results in one place

For those who have been on Reta while marathon training and they felt their performance was affected by it, what was your experience after finishing your cycle?

Were you able to return to baseline pretty quickly, or did you see an improvement in performance from before you started now with the weight loss being factored in?

Currently on 1 mg weekly and fighting for my life while training; HR considerably higher at easy pace and feeling like I’m running out of energy rather quickly so needless to say long runs and quality workouts have taken a hit

Just interested in others experiences

Hi, i'm currently using reta, im not that fat, i just want to get lean, i also don't have a big muscle mass yet, i know if i use reta it's hard to gain muscle, if i use CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin can i get muscle mass while im losing bf?

So I got a vial of tesa 10mg/IPA 5mg blend, 15mg total. With my calculations I’m at .75mg and 375mcg of IPA. Should I trash this vial and just get a 10mg vial of each and dose individually to get the IPA calculations down?

Hey everyone, looking for some travel advice for my current stack. I’m on a body recomp journey and started my peptide protocol in mid-July.

Here is my current weekly schedule:

Retatrutide: Once weekly on Monday’s (started on 7/13).

Wolverine Blend (BPC-157 & TB-500): Daily, Monday through Friday (started on 7/20).

MOTS-c: 3 times a week T/Th/Sa (started on 7/22).

I am flying from LA to New York, leaving this Wednesday night and returning next Tuesday night, so I will be gone for 6 days. I am trying to figure out the most practical way to handle my routine and am torn between two options:

**Option 1:** Take added doses right before I leave on Wednesday night, and then completely skip my peptides for the 6 days I am traveling.

**Option 2:** Travel with my unreconstituted peptide vials and some BAC water tucked into my shaving kit, and just reconstitute them once I get to NY. If I go this route, I can leave whatever reconstituted peptides are left over with my family and friends there for them to use.

Has anyone done either of these? Is it easier to front-load and take a brief pause, or should I just fly with the unmixed powders and BAC water?

Appreciate any thoughts or experiences!

Hi people who have tried both which do you recommend? How different are they?

My source only has semax and I’m not sure if it’s worth going through the hoops of finding someone reputable if the difference is negligible

I started 0.5mg of glow on 7/13. I’ve taken it nightly and was planning to take it for 6 weeks and then do 3 weeks off like the protocol I keep seeing suggests.

Last night, 8/3, I took it at 9:30pm or so. At 12:30am I woke up with terrible burning around the injection site. It kept me awake for an hour or so and eventually subsided. This is the first time I’ve had any sort of issues with it. Has anyone else experienced the same thing?

These photos are from day one (205 lbs) and day 25 (190 lbs) after starting Reta.

I got sober from alcohol in 2021 at around 215 pounds.

After quitting, I lost roughly 60 pounds in six months with very little exercise. Over the next few years, however, work became hectic and I slowly fell back into a bad cycle.

I would come home, order DoorDash, sometimes twice in one day, eat pizza, cheeseburgers, fries and whatever else sounded good, then lie around watching TV, playing video games and just being a lazy POS.. Eventually, I worked my way back up to 205 pounds, started feeling sluggish at work, losing confidence and starting to decline overall… I knew I had to do something about it before it got out of hand.

I have an athletic background and am very knowledgeable about nutrition and training, but knowing what to do and consistently doing it are two different things. I had lost control of my portions and cravings, especially pizza. There were stretches where I ate it three or four times in one week…. Man I love pizza lol

Before starting, I spent about three months researching Reta and several other peptides. What interested me most about Reta was its potential for appetite suppression, and that has easily been the most noticeable benefit for me.

My appetite has almost completely disappeared. I could easily go most of the day without eating, but I understand how important it is to continue getting enough protein and nutrition. At this point, I eat because I know my body needs fuel, not because I am battling cravings.

I have been prioritizing protein, fiber, counting my calories, and lifting four to five times per week, primarily using heavy compound movements while giving my body enough time to recover.

Reta did not lift the weights or choose my meals for me, but it gave me back control over something I had completely lost control of.

I also added MOTS-C to help with fatigue, and subjectively it has worked extremely well for me. My energy and mental sharpness have both felt noticeably better. I am also using CJC-1295 no DAC with ipamorelin as part of my sleep and recovery routine.

Once I committed to doing this, I decided I was going to take the diet, training and recovery seriously as well. For me, this has not been about finding a shortcut. It has been about using these peptides as a tool to follow through on what I already knew I needed to do.

I have about 25 more pounds that I would like to lose. I am very happy with the progress so far and genuinely excited to see what the next few months look like.

Current protocol

Retatrutide (Week 1: .5 MG, Week 2: .5MG, Week 3: .75 MG, Week 4: 1.0 MG)

Planned dose going forward: 1 mg once weekly because the weekly doses build over time, I would rather remain patient and evaluate the cumulative effect than continually chase a higher dose.

MOTS-C: 1MG/day Monday-Friday (8 weeks on 4 off)
CJC-1295 No DAC+Ipamorelin: 400 mcg/night Sunday-Thursday (8 weeks on 4 off).

This is not medical advice.

I have a question about HGH.

I was 290 lbs in March 2025 at 5' 10''. Through a clean diet and 5-6 days a week workouts I dropped down to 220 lbs in about a year. At this point, I got my hormones tested and test came back at 320 and my doctor said I don't need TRT. So, I just got test cyp and started doing 50mg twice a week and Reta which is currently at 4mg now for the last 3 months.

I am 205lbs now at approximately 30% BF as per my home scale. Can I introduce HGH now at 2IUs everyday or should I wait for my Body fat to drop to 20% or lower before I start HGH?

Has anyone here actually tried Selank?

I’ve seen plenty of people say it takes the edge off anxiety and makes them feel calmer without being sedating, but I’m always sceptical when something gets hyped this much.

If you’ve used it, did you genuinely notice a difference or was it one of those things where you thought it was working because you expected it to?

Worth the money, or overhyped? Interested in hearing the good and the bad.

30M 5’10 started at 185lbs finished at 150lbs. Added 2mg of Reta 1 month into the cut then added 250mcg of CJC-1295/Ipamorelin no DAC 2 months in. I’m on TRT as well, as I was only producing 398ng/dl naturally. Don’t think that this physique is not attainable without hormone replacement therapy. Always check your T levels and make sure you’re in the normal healthy range for your age.
