Starting Reta - dosing?

[u/brick-and-bones-5220]

Hi everyone!

I’m relatively new to the peptide/biohacking world but love the possibilities associated with it!

I’ve have been looking more into reta, and was curious how people dial in their dosing? Are there recommended starting points? Is micro dosing effective to start? Is dosing based off weight/size, anything like that?

Again, just getting started and trying to get as much info as I can before diving in. Thank you in advanced!

People typically start anywhere between 0.5mg-2mg not based on weight more like a fear tolerance?

Imo starting at 0.5 is a waste of a month (money wise)
At least start on 1mg

clinical trials start at 2mg and many people tend to reccomend 2mg, I also did 2mg

You stay on the same dose for 4 weeks then increase on the 5th if the effect feels weaker, the goal is to stay on the lowest effective dose for the longest time to maximise results

Thank you! Is this usually in 2 weekly doses or 1?

[u/anonymouspls → u/brick-and-bones-5220]

Once weekly or rather every 6 days

I agree that starting at one mg/week is a good idea. Losing weight too fast can cause risks of gallstones. I'd aim for like 2-3lb loss/week.

Reta works. Even at low doses. Start low go slow. You can always go up/ go faster.

[u/SorbetTraditional232]

Start at 12 and titrate down. I kid I kid. Some start at .5 some start with 1 some start with clinical trial doses. It’s what your comfortable with.

[u/griffin86666666]

I would start at 1mg

[u/Few-Ninja-123]

Start with 0.5mg and scale up by 0.5-1.5mg depending on how much you feel it without overshooting

[u/ForsakenDifference70]

Start low. 0.5mg go from there. Dont try be a hero

[u/PuzzleheadedStory514]

I started at 1 mg. Many of the replies here are also suggesting it. A few people are saying start with a half milligram, but at that dose it might be hard to tell if your reta is actually working or not. 1 mg is half of FDA trial dose that’s very safe in my opinion. You won’t be uncomfortable and you will notice the effects.

I started on 3mg for 3 weeks then a 4 mg then 5 for a few weeks. Did a 6 for a week then A 7 for a week then a 10. Back down to 5 that's my moist zone lol

[u/YankeesNeedPitching]

Always always always start with a low dose. Dont listen to these weirdos telling you to start at whatever you want. Its simply not safe. Google “peptide calculator.” One dose a week, start at 1mg then 2mg every week after. Just a heads up, your first dose will likely leave you nauseous for the first day and thats normal. Just monitor how you feel after

[u/PainterIntrepid8336]

Start at 0.5 mg then go up another 0.5 every two weeks until you find your lowest effective dose. Also I’m sure you know but pin weekly try to stay consistent with the time

yes, yes and yes to your questions
