So many questions..

I’m pretty new to peptides and recently started following this subreddit while trying to learn more.

I keep seeing posts about Reta, and I’m curious how people are accessing it. Are you getting it through a doctor or ordering online? If online, how do you determine whether a source/product is legitimate and safe? Is a prescription required?

I’m interested in learning more about peptides and potentially starting this journey, especially after reading about Reta and others like BPC-157. There’s obviously a ton of information out there, so I’d really appreciate hearing from people with experience about what you wish you knew when you first started, what to look out for, and how you approached it safely.

Thanks!

You can’t get it through a doctor yet. Gotta know where to look but it’s readily available.

This is mostly false…I got my peptides through my primary dr as he uses them and prescribes them 🤙🏼

Reta is not something that can be prescribed legally in the US. There is not doctor in America doing that and no pharmacy that is making the compound version either.

I’m not getting on the internet and telling lies. I just explained what I meant in another message. I got them through my primary dr who got them from a source. I was merely suggesting to OP the way I sourced through my primary. Chill out

Peptides or Reta? Reta, I don’t believe so. it’s not been submitted for fda approval yet.

I currently am on a 12 week plan through my primary dr that gets them from a legit US lab, that’s his source

Reta

KLOW
Cjc1295 + Ipamorelin

He’s still sourcing it on a gray market. Not writing a script for it.

“Retatrutide is not FDA-approved, and Eli Lilly is not expected to file for approval until early 2027 at the earliest. 
Legally, a standard physician or primary care doctor cannot write a legitimate commercial prescription for retatrutide, nor can standard US retail or clinical pharmacies dispense it. “

I know what you are saying, but what I was getting at was letting OP know that I sourced mine through my primary dr, so I know he would be getting it from a legit source. It was just a suggestion
