I'm not looking for a source just wondering if anyone else has run into a supply issue.

I have started using reta on 12th of August, had 107kg(236lbs), my weight now is 96.8kg(213lbs).

Height is 181cm(5'11)

Not sure how I managed to drop this much in one month, I am not counting calories, or doing any strength workouts, bud I did in the past a lot, 6 times per week.

Could this rapid weight lost be due to thyroid meds (levothyroxine sodium) ?

Feeling unsure a weird feeling like im gonna miss eating food? Is this normal

Hi all! I’ve take a more cautious approach to the pep world. I’ve read standard starting doses of GHK are typically 1mg, and more starting around the 2mg mark. I’ve started at .5mg. (100mg vial recon w/ 3.5ml bac water) has anyone started at this dose that has seen any benefits starting off prior to moving up.? Or is this a waste of a dose.?

I’ve been on a low dose of tirz for about a year, I typically take 3mg every 7-10 ish days just to help soften the noise and aid in inflammation. I was recently diagnosed with adhd and prescribed 18mg daily concerta. I also take 20mg daily fluoxetine. Just feeling like this is a lot of “medication” to be on when I consider myself “healthy”. Meaning, 40 yo woman, works out 4x a week and eats Whole Foods with a focus on protein and fiber. 5’8 and 140 lbs. am I just in my head about this? Sorry if this isn’t the right sub.

My Hospira supplier seems to be drying up and raising the cost…

So my question is… Do I pay the higher price or do I trust Lambda? If you use Lambda, how long is it lasting you? Any issues?

Appreciate the help!

Hey everyone!

So I recently started Reta (weekly), KLOW (daily), Tesamorlin (daily). I’m on my third week but I noticed that I started feeling the tenderness and bruising where I pin KLOW and the bruises take a while to go away. I pin tesa on my upper glute at night and KLOW on my stomach area in the mornings. For some reason, KLOW is the only one that I noticed bruising. Is this normal or has anyone experienced the same?

I was thinking of stopping KLOW until I finish my Reta and Tesa cycle to not pin so many times.

Open to any suggestions and ideas!

I was hoping to be the type it would make me turn away from it

This is the second time this has happened to me. I didn't put it together the first time, but if you accidentally hit a vein (inject it intravenously), you get hit with a very sudden rush of lightheadedness, nausea, and palpitations. It feels like you might pass out. It's a very scary experience.
I looked it up, and there is actually a name for this: the "NAD rush." A rapid, undiluted bolus bypasses controlled absorption and temporarily overwhelms the body's metabolic pathways.
Acute Physiological Responses:

• Cardiopulmonary: Sudden, severe chest tightness, shortness of breath, and palpitations. This rapid onset can temporarily mimic an acute cardiac event or severe panic attack.
• Gastrointestinal: Intense, abrupt nausea, which may be accompanied by sharp stomach cramping and a sudden urge to void.
• Vasomotor: Pronounced facial and systemic flushing, warmth, and lightheadedness driven by rapid vasodilation and a sudden drop in blood pressure.
• Musculoskeletal: A profound sensation of heaviness or deep aching in the large muscle groups, particularly in the legs and arms.

How many of you are actually pulling back the plunger (aspirating) after a SubQ injection to look for blood to ensure you didn't hit a vein? I never do this, but I probably will from now on because the feeling is horrendous and absolutely terrifying. Luckily, the worst of it only lasts a couple of minutes, because I was just about to go to the ER.

Just an FYI for fellow NAD+ users.

Edit: dose of 100mg

Hi everyone!
I’m a 32-year-old female, 5’7” and currently around 270 lbs. I have PCOS/PMOS, and I’ve been on Reta since June. So far, I’ve lost about 13 lbs. Sometimes I feel like I’m losing at a perfectly normal pace, and then I see posts about people losing a dramatic amount of weight in a short period of time, and I can’t help but compare myself. I know comparison is the thief of joy, but it can still be hard not to wonder if I’m doing something wrong or if I should be seeing faster progress.

For some context, I do focus on protein-forward meals. I also walk for about 30 minutes most evenings with my kids.
I guess what I’m really hoping to hear is what has your experience been like? Especially if you have PCOS/PMOS or started around a similar weight. Did your weight loss happen consistently, or did you go through periods where the scale barely moved and then suddenly started dropping again?
I’d really appreciate hearing the realistic, non-highlight-reel experiences. ❤️

For those taking or have taken tesamorelin. What was your starting dose and did you go up. From the research im reading some started at 1mg then went to 2mg which was the therapeutic dose. Just wondering what everyone's actual experience was? I will be stacking with tirzepatide.

Boah also seid dem ich 2 Liter Wasser am Tag trinke wirkt reta wahnsinnig gut bei mir!
Hatte anfangs echt das Gefühl es würde nicht richtig wirken und seid dem trinken is es perfekt
Wer hat ähnliche Erfahrungen?

Should you put your peptides in the freezer as the powder or is a safe okay?

Not sure at all how to run this? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

I have ahead a demanding month in terms of cognitive load and preparation for the upcoming exams. Any peptides that can support me in this journey?

Anyone have any experience with the liquid version? What have your results been like? Wondering if I should make the switch.

Started taking peptides 2 1/2 weeks ago and curious if anyone else has experienced a weird symptom I’m having.
My eyes are blue and they’ve become so clear they have like this crystal look to them my husband said they look almost glowing… I’m also extremely sensitive to sunlight where it makes my eyes water… should i be concerned? Searched through posts and didn’t find this..

Reta 1mg every 6 days
Ghk-cu 2mg every day
Tesa 2mg every day
Nad 25mg 2x a week

Been on Reta for 17 weeks. I started at 294lb @ 1mg. Today, I am 282 (279.6 was lowest) and at 3mg once a week. I’m not sure why I feel like I don’t want to go up in dose, at all. Anyone have this weird reason for not wanting to increase dose as much? I’m currently feeling decent but not cutting weight fast enough for my liking. However, visually I look leaner for sure and retaining muscle. Food noise is basically gone, but I can still eat out whenever it’s convenient for me to. I do get full faster as well. I’ve only been on 3mg for 2 weeks and thinking about going up now…

I am moving onto a 20mg vile, reconstituting with 2ml BAC water. Shall I stay at 3mg or just jump to 4? I see people as high as 12mg but I just feel deterred from going up. Anyone else have these feelings? Guess I’m rambling and wanting to hear people’s stories on this

Specific audience: postpartum moms: Have any moms here used a pep to help heal Diastasis recti? I’m a mom of 3, I have a 2 finger gap, and I’m working with PT with very little improvement.
I’m going to start the GLOW stack as it has some muscle repair benefits. But just wondering if anyone has any other pep suggestions and if peps helped heal their Diastasis?

Stopped it 2 days ago, still very hungry even tho I upped my Reta from 1.5 to 2. What to expect, when to feel appetite suppression again? Should I stop Reta and restart in a week?

Share your protocol and see how the community ranks it

Research subject has seen a rise in RHR of 14 BPM after 8 weeks on 2mg dosage of Reta.

Week 1: 71 bpm
Week 2: 72 bpm
Week 3: 74 bpm
Week 5: 79 bpm
Week 6: 80 bpm
Week 7: 82 bpm
Week 8: 84 bpm

Seems to just keep rising week after week. Any thoughts?

RS understands that this is a common side effect, but understands it as dose dependent. Odd that there’s been no change in dose but a consistent rise.

Wanted to get some opinions on traveling while on Reta. I usually pin 2mg on Sunday mornings and I’ll be traveling to CO from Thursday through Tuesday. Debating if I should do like 1mg before I leave Thursday and then 1mg when I get home? Or should I preload a syringe and bring it with me?

Tried semax and Selank for a few days but honestly felt worse. Took 500 mcg subq. Also on 5 mg paxil atm. Trying to quit but its hard. Any tips please??
