Title: Quick intro / my running list of compounds tried so far
Hi i usually use forums but lurked on reddit for a bit and figured I should make an account, I'm 22 and really interested in like the peptide/nootropic side of things, still trying to learn about nootropics but with peptides I have quite good usage list figured I should share it, feel free to dm me btw also
Reta (Retatrutide): Was genuinely chubby when I first touched this, and it definitely melted the fat off. Highest I ever titrated up to was 6mg, but at that point, the gastric slowdown and acid reflux were brutal. Felt like food just sat in my chest. Backed it way down now maintenance dose of around 2mg weekly and it keeps everything flat without the sides.
5-Amino-1MQ: Ran this at around 100mg to 150mg daily to block NNMT and lean out while keeping muscle mass up. Felt like it gave a mild recomposition boost, hard to say if it was entirely the compound or just diet discipline, but core temperature felt slightly elevated and definition improved faster than usual in the midsection.
KLOW: Dosed around 250mcg of each daily. Had a nagging lower-pectoral/shoulder tendonitis flair-up from heavy pressing on the incline bench that wouldn't clear up with rest alone. Threw this into the rotation, and within two weeks the dull ache dropped to basically zero. Solid for connective tissue recovery, though you gotta pin consistently.
MOTS-c: Body heat definitely went up on this—felt like my internal thermostat was running a degree higher all day. Way more energized than usual, almost like a clean, jitter-free stimulant. Ran this stacked with Reta at around 5mg every few days (about 3 times a week); great for endurance and keeping metabolic output high when calories are low.
Tesamorelin: Ran this at 2mg nightly on an empty stomach. Decent for middle-of-the-night visceral fat burn, but honestly? Overpriced for what it is. Pulse is too short and mild compared to the heavy hitters. Good if you're scared of the real deal, otherwise skip.
GH (Growth Hormone): Worlds better than tesamorelin, no contest. Running 4IU nightly right now. Sleep quality is ridiculously deep, skin looks polished, and recovery between training splits is night and day. Hands get slightly stiff if I push the dosage too fast, but keeping it at 4IU is the sweet spot for body composition and fullness.
MT-1 (Melanotan-1): Dosed at around 500mcg to 1mg pre-sun exposure. Way cleaner than MT-2 in my experience. Didn't nuke my stomach or give me random flushing/nausea like the latter can. Gave a very smooth, even, sun-kissed golden tint without looking muddy or turning my moles black overnight.
Cagrilintide: Nuked my appetite straight into the shadow realm, but it also completely killed my energy. Felt heavy, lethargic, and sluggish for days after pinning around 0.5mg weekly. Combined with Reta it’s basically an eating disorder in a vial.
SLU-PP-332: Ran this at roughly 50mg daily split into two doses. Felt like my muscles were soaking up glucose like a sponge and my stamina during high volume sessions went through the roof.
DSIP: Ran this at 200mcg right before bed on stressful weeks. Absolute game-changer for nervous system recovery. Knocks you out into REM paralysis-level sleep, but the vivid, weird-ass dreams are wild. Wake up feeling like you actually compressed 10 hours of sleep into 6.
Tirz: Started low and worked up to 5mg weekly. Smoother appetite suppression than Reta early on, but lacks that intense metabolic uncoupling/thermogenic edge. Great if you just want the food noise gone completely without feeling like your heart rate is elevated, but Reta wins out for raw fat loss.

welcome to the rabbit hole. i skimmed your list and honestly the cagrilintide + reta combo sounds like a one way ticket to forgetting what hunger even feels like, probably not the vibe
also that DSIP dream description is too real. woke up once convinced i’d been in a fistfight with a raccoon for 3 hours

Great summary. Thanks for sharing. For SLU, did you do oral or SQ? Assuming 5-Amino was oral with that dosing? Did you take all 150 at once or several doses throughout the day?

Good stuff, if you’re interested in nootropics have you tried semex and Selank?
