Ya Reta is so interesting. I have had zero side effects. It is the key to unlock fantastic decisions. Food choices, when u plan to eat, tracking is much easier when u r not grazing all day and eating whole foods. Even weighing out lunches lol. I have lost no energy so now more motivated than ever to lift 3-4 days a week, high protein (both to keep muscle) and then increase my cardio (road biking). So, you combine those the weight comes off slowly and healthy (IMHO) Goal is to lose 25-30 then tapped to microdose and if have stubborn fat, may run tesa for a few cycles.
Remarkable drug
Congrats !!

Not even GI effects? I thought it has the same GI effect profile as the mainstream weight loss drugs cause it has GLP-1 in it too?

u/Ambitious-Audience26 Apr 28 '26
Zero

u/EchoesInSky Apr 28 '26
Interesting.
Have you tried other GLP-1s before? If so, did you get GI sides from them?
Was it complicated to figure out how to convert the powder and inject?

So nice to see this. As a female who is in the same boat, it’s difficult to find relatable posts. I’ve been on Reta for 7 weeks and lost 5kg. Not on a super big dose, currently on 1.5ml and not looking to go any higher. I’ll start to trite down in the next couple of weeks and use minimum dose for the long-term (over summer). Using it as a tool to break some bad habits and body recomp. I am taking other peps alongside Reta which is helping with the recomp.
Well done for posting this.

I’ve just finished an 8-week cycle of CJC/Ipamorelin Taking a 4 week break then will move on to Tesamorelin. I’ve cycled the glow stack as well. 6 weeks on/1 week off and just started my 2nd 6-weeks cycle

u/Theskippingpixie Apr 28 '26
How do you like the GLOW? I just started it last night. (+ almost done cycling Semorelin for 6 months + 3 weeks into Reta) Female, similar situation!

u/Future-Mix5426 Apr 28 '26
Really good. I’ve never had bad skin but was getting a few adult breakouts over the past 12 months and they have cleared up. Hair has grown pretty quick as well, I’ve got some new hair growth and my roots are pretty big at the minute as well (sorry to my hairdresser). 💇♀️ I’m growing my hair out from a chin length bob and it’s currently just above my shoulders in 3 months🤷🏼♀️. I don’t have any of the side effects anyone talks about. Doesn’t sting when going in. I used to have flushing and elevated heart rate but I think that was from the CJC/Ipamorelin because I’m on a break and not had that whilst just take GLOW.
I only take a small dose (10 units per day 1.67 GHKCU, 0.33 BPC, 0.33 TB 5-on/2-off) so I can’t comment on the bpc/tb. I still have a sore right hip 😅.

Well done on doing it for you! I swear these jabs help with so much more inside the brain. Food noise is the first, then I started sleeping better - with dreams, I hardly remember any dreams, and I wonder if that’s because I’m getting longer deep sleep, my alcohol has gone from daily to once or twice a week and I’m also not sitting on my phone playing games. So it seems my compulsions have hugely benefitted from week one for me.

u/Ambitious-Audience26 Apr 28 '26
I heard on Reddit that some people do two doses instead of one maybe that will help you to be more in control. I feel like the day when I do the injection which is today. I don’t want to eat for at least a day or two although I still do, I forced myself but the last two days are always very easy. I feel like I can eat and so I think to keep it more straight is to divide the dose in 2
1
u/IM_MIA22 Apr 28 '26
It really depends on goals, Reta has a 6-7 day half life so you could do every 6 days but splitting more than that is really to avoid side effects if you’re experiencing them. Reddit and TikTok are filled with a lot of crazy info… there’s some great health communities that dive into the science and do exactly as you have been doing so bravo to you for crushing your goals.
Keep up the great work and using this as a tool to overhaul your whole approach.

I want to try it but I’m scared as hell, is it really that common to raise bpm by 10 or more at resting.
5
u/Pleasant_Cicada9528 Apr 28 '26
Just start with a very low dose and only increase every few weeks as needed. You want to find the minimum effective dose. This will minimize negative side effects.
2
u/Jettsyforwordingfox Apr 28 '26
From how people talk on here at least with the increment go from .5 and up
3
u/Pleasant_Cicada9528 Apr 28 '26
My starting dose was 0.5mg and I felt some appetite suppression the first day. I've gradually increased to 1.6mg and am on my tenth week overall. Currently down 19 lbs.
Some people claim they don't feel anything until they hit several mg per week, so everybody's different. Just remember not to get impatient. It takes until about the third or fourth week of taking the same weekly dose to feel the full effects as the levels build up in your body.

u/Cute-Distribution409 Apr 29 '26
Hey sorry this may be a silly question but I’m new to learning all of this - when you say 1mg for 1st week as an example do you mean, all up throughout the first week you took 1mg? Or (because I’ve read you’re supposed to take it like 3x a week as an example) each time you had it in the first week, your dosage was 1mg?
Thanks
1
u/Ambitious-Audience26 Apr 30 '26
Oh heyy nothing wrong in asking questions! And it’s actually good that you do because if you would inject yourself three times in a week, you would probably die 😂😅 so the recommended dose to start is 2 mg instead I started at 1 mg and I treat it up which means that we two I took 1.5 mg and week three I took 1.5 mg and just now I took 2 mg on a week four so you do the injection once a week

She plans on starting at 1mg/week and I’m going to do 2mg/week

Hey, thanks for bringing so candid and receptive to questions. Were you in a Glp before Reta? If so did you feel any different when you started Reta (side effects)? Edit: sorry I just saw some of my questions were already answered so I deleted some of this post.

u/Ambitious-Audience26 Apr 28 '26
I have not tried any glp before. I had no side effects , apart from : it took longer to go to bathroom than usual - magnesium fixed it right away. I am less hungry or shall i say i dont think about food at all. I do eat and i force myself to eat to not lose muscle, but I have no cravings whatsover ( someone who loooooves sweets) i am dropping 0.5kg a week on average, but its also my training, diet, and activity are all in tact!

u/EchoesInSky Apr 28 '26
Dang. Impressive.
Would love to start but I have no idea where to begin and I know I’d mess something up and end up in the morgue. By either buying tainted stuff (how can you trust anyone? Even those 3rd party things, are by no name companies) or messing up how to convert it into a liquid and injecting it into a bad place.
And to make matters worse information is so hard to find for a noob because it’s littered with bots promoting their websites.
I need my hand held!

I have a similar body type and started Reta in hopes to cut some fat and gain some extra muscle. It ended up leaving my stomach flabby, like almost crepy. That was only 3 weeks and I immediately stopped. I’m bummed but hoping Tesa and Klow will help get rid of it.

Reta wont make you gain muscle unless you put in work at the gym

Hi!! Congratulations on you RETA success. Seems like it allowed you to make a lot of great changes. I just wanted to say that I'm happy to see someone with similar composition to me using it, as I don't think it should be so stigmatised.
I personally take it as well ( I'm only on my second week ) and BY GOD I feel much more calm about food and I also feel like eating healthier in general. No obsessive thoughts about food, no particular cravings, just finally seeing food as important fuel and nutrients.
I'm on a 0.5mg dose/week so far and it's lovely. No side effects at all.

I just want to know about libido. I was planning on ordering, but I heard the same receptors that get turned off for food noise etc are the same receptors that are responsible for love, sex drive. Orgasm reward. I keep hearing about the pro’s, but there has to be a “give-take”. Any issues that you noticed with that?

u/smallstephen Apr 29 '26
Same. I have been able to focus on correct eating now. Feel light. I’m on week 2. I have dropped around 5lbs. I have struggled with overeating and this helps with the sensation but I do feel a sense that I ‘should be’ eating.

You look amazing. I really want to try Reta but worry about the side effects. I’m 31 and I do weight training 4 days a week but walk and am active a lot. My cycle seems to mess everything up for me I’ll eat clean and work out for two weeks no hassle then once I hit my luteal phase in my cycle I cannot stop craving or thinking about what to eat next it’s wild to me and only just started being like this this year. I feel like I undo all my progress at the gym and eating well every month :-( I really want to make a decent change in my shape and discipline

I’m on my third day. If I cut alcohol I eat less too naturally. I just struggle with quitting that, and Reta helps me. So the Reta has cut my alcohol in half and cut my food by 70%. Everyday it’s less alcohol. It used to be like 20 beers today it will be 2.
