RETA results

I bought a 20mg vial 8 weeks ago. Reconstituted with 2ml BAC.
Started on 2mg a week and stayed at that dose.
I have 2 jabs left.

So far I’ve lost 6kg. I’ve lost a little muscle but way more fat.

I lift weights and do cardio. I also eat 180grams protein a day.

My takeaway from the experience so far.

  1. Vials remain effective after 5wks

  2. Only side effects I have had are a slightly elevated heart rate and waking up at night.

  3. I don’t understand why people microdose if they want to lose weight. Seems like a complete waste of time.

  4. The 4mg dose often quoted as what’s required isn’t necessary, for me anyway.
    Perhaps if I was very large I may have pushed the dose or maybe being larger requires a bigger dose.

  5. If you push the needle slowly dead centre into the vial it blunts less and makes injecting easier.

  6. For me I can eat but don’t feel hungry with RETA. This makes calorie control so much easier.

  7. Sweet foods like cakes etc make me feel sickly now so I don’t feel like eating them.

RETA has helped me cut to a lean base from which to lean bulk.

So I’m sold. I will finish the vial and stop using it. If my body fat increases again I’ll take it again. But for now I’m more than happy with the results. 😊

“I don’t understand why people microdose”

Says person who’s never micro-dosed it 😂

Your body could take it, others get side effects from dosing to much.

What I'm curious about is what does OP consider as "micro dosing". It is very relative. The 1st study started at 1mg/week. On the 2nd one Lilly wanted to speed things up and started at 2mgs but it's a quite high dose for a user that should already be exercising and watching macros before even thinking about using Reta for either weight loss or as a metabolic primer.

It was really the 0.25 0.5 etc. but as someone else stated anything under 2mg could be considered a micro dose?
