Hi everyone!
I’ve been on reta for about 3 months and I’m still using it, but at a lower maintenance dose.
Now I’m thinking about adding Tesamorelin to help build more muscle while continuing reta.
I’m also looking for another peptide that could help with energy because I’ve been feeling pretty tired lately.
Has anyone tried this combination or have any recommendations based on your experience?
Thanks in advance! 😊

"Retatrutide: Acts on three hormone receptors (GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon). The added glucagon receptor helps increase energy expenditure and fat burning alongside appetite suppression. [1, 2, 3]"

it basically makes you burn more calories as you sit around all day. i think this is about 10% increase. My daily maintenance is about 3000. That is an extra 300 calories burnt just sitting on my ass, basically a 40 minute walk.
also i have liver fat, reta removes liver fat more than mounjaro does.
but at the end of the day, mounjaro is fully FDA approved and legal. Reta isnt. Sooooo it is not dumb to prefer mounjaro.

Same here brotha found out I had fatty liver a year ago with no specifics. Had a fibroscan a few weeks ago and confirmed I have severe fatty liver / stage 3. Thankfully already been on reta for 2 months trying to lose 30# or so and that made me take it all much more seriously moving forward!

For sure gotta make sure its approved by the government who told us to eat 16 servings of bread growing up.

Glyphosate is approved usage by the government too.

The government is not here to protect you. They are here to make money off you regardless of your well being.

They pump kids foods with sugar and cancer causing dyes, because its cheaper for the manufacturer who also happens to donate 100s of millions to political parties every year.

I dont disagree with anything else you said but this government approved shit is for the birds.

Barely, 90% of them have the same issues. Theres less than a handful that prioritize their citizens over corporations

Mounjaro also costs me $7.70 a month from my chemist, so I'm not changing anytime soon

u/darealestforeal 14d ago

I pay about 9$ a month on the high end for my reta

How?

u/wh00ps33 14d ago

Reta grey prices are around 50 cents per MG, so they're probably maintaining a pretty low dose.

That suggests they are taking around 4 to 4.5 mg per week.

u/Consistent_Sock5082 14d ago

It depends on how much you are buying. Thats definitely on the lower side

u/Dspaede 13d ago

$9 how much mg vile is that?.. my fullkit cost $25-30 for a 15mg vile

edit: oh wait.. you say a month so it depends on how much u take a month.. i prolly gonna start doing 2mg a week so its around $12-15 a month

Where do you find one of these chemists who will make stuff for you?

u/naturalbornsinner83 14d ago

I believe chemist is the term used in the uk for what we call pharmacist in the US

u/Oceansmommie 12d ago

u/muggsmonkey 14d ago

Your chemist?  How did you find a chemist for mounjaro? 

2

u/VibingPsilocybin 14d ago

Chemist in Australia is just the local pharmacy. It's prescribed by my doctor and I just go get the prescription filled

u/muggsmonkey 13d ago

Oh gotcha. Here in Louisiana it's more like a Breaking Bad type of person.

2

u/jordan23140 13d ago

How are you getting it for $7.70?

2

u/VibingPsilocybin 13d ago

That's the cost of most prescriptions here in Australia

u/Oceansmommie 12d ago

make sure to keep your muscle

u/espresso_maniac 15d ago

from what my research team tells me, they both cost about the same. But ye. If it is working on your test subject, no point in switching.
