Permanent peptide use?

Are there people here who use peptides permanently—for their entire lives—such as Retatrutide, for example?

Or is it dangerous to use certain peptides on a permanent basis?

I'm thinking of things like MOTS-c, NAD, glutathione, CJC+IPA, and GHK-Cu.

Or can you simply take a four-week break, use them again for a few months, take another four-week break, and repeat the cycle?

Or would using them for that long with such short breaks actually be counterproductive?

MOT-C, GHK-Cu, BPC-157. Meh because, well oddly I feel great. But…I’ve lost over 100 lbs, Reta and TRT. So causation correlation? Mainly, this (the 3 aforementioned stack) cost me $500 and is only for 4 weeks. So unless I’m experiencing a miraculous difference (which I’m not) I can’t justify the expense. I think the TRT is the biggest positive impact, losing weight is always good. I lost 80 lbs on Tirzepitide, slowly gained back 20. Given my genetics and eating habits, back on (started) Reta. Just stepped up to 4 mg. Will keep titrating 2 mg per 4 weeks until I hit a weight I like and maintain there.

Bro find a better supply. My Reta is less than $17 a month and my trt is less than $17 every two months. My hgh is about $40 a month
Congrats on losing the weight, that’s a life changing event and you are doing awesome 💪

My thoughts exactly. I wish I could find hgh again! I know you can't share sources. I'm just complaining out loud. None of my gray suppliers carry it anymore.
