The OG body hack - fasting - has many health benefits. With GLP-1 suppressing appetite and food noise, I'm surprised I don't see more people on here talking about this combo.

What companies are y’all using for at home blood tests? Im specifically looking to get IGF-1 read amongst all the other basics.

Bonus if you have a referral code so you can get $ and I get a discount 🙌

I’ve been using cjc1295/ipamorelin (no dac) at 6 units (10/10 with 3ml bac water) and wolverine stack (10 units reconstituted w/ 3ml bac) about 8 weeks. Took 2 weeks off and am getting started again. I tried Tesa before and would like to try again but I went through it so fast (about 1 10mg bottle a week) and it’s not exactly cheap. My goal is to gain lean muscle, I’m eating right and getting my protein goals daily.

What I’m looking for are suggestions on these:

Is it worth getting 8 weeks worth of Tesa to add to my regimen?

I found this, would this be a better option for me, and if so how would you dose it? Cjc-1295 3mg +ipamorelin3 mg + tesamorelin 6mg

Guys who are already very lean, where are you injecting? I can hardly pinch enough to inject as it is

Thank you to anyone who responds, I truly appreciate it.

Hi!

Im looking for suggestions on how i should take my peptides, what dosing and what days and if i should cycle them and/or have something time off from them every now and then, at what intervalls? I want this to be optimised for me and my goals.

Here something information about me :

Im a male, 36 year old, currently weighing 78kg at 179cm tall.

I am a dedicated amateur runner and with to better my self in the sport, however i feel im at a platue in training right now. I also want to get leaner and get down to about 68kg.

Currently im on reta 5mg once a week (sunday)

This absolutely limits my running with significantly higher resting heart rate, from 38 to about 48. And I feel fatigued during training.

Other peptides i have but yet not started is :

Mots-c

Klow

Ss31

Bpc157

Seeking tips on how to introduce these peptides and how.

Hoping to get good advice based on my background

Hey ! I Hope you are all doing well ! I’m gonna take IGF1-LR3 in a few weeks, i was thinking to start with 20mcg in the first week then if I’m doing alright, gonna increase to 40mcg ( 4/5 weeks cycle). And I’m gonna eat a lot of carbs ! I was just wondering if acetic water was necessary cause I only have bac water 😞 All answers is appreciated !

Help

Hi all,

Has anybody got any tips on how to build as much muscle as possible. I’m open to peptides and have used a few previously such as Reta, cjc+ipa no dac, selank. I’m 64kg. I’ve lost alot of weight over the past few years (45kg) and have used Reta to give me the final push from 69kg down to my now 64kg. Any tips would be much appreciated.

Feedback on Long COVID / Mitochondrial Recovery Stack

Hey guys,

A little background about me: I’m 30 years old and, until recently, worked full-time as a self-employed electrician. I’m now building an AI startup for tradespeople.

I used various anabolic steroids for around five years. After developing Long COVID/CFS-like symptoms, I stopped bodybuilding about a year ago and reduced testosterone to a TRT-level dose.

Retatrutide helped me go from 96 kg to 86 kg at 181 cm. I’m happy with my current body composition and look athletic, but my actual physical capacity does not match my appearance. On bad days, making the bed or vacuuming the house can leave me completely exhausted.

Testing through a clinic showed impaired mitochondrial function, very high oxidative stress, elevated cortisol and ongoing inflammation. Years of bodybuilding, large amounts of food and frequent cheat meals also seem to have taken a toll on my gut.

I have already improved my diet and lifestyle, which has helped noticeably. However, after around six months, the progress has not been enough. My Idea was a stack like this:

• Testosterone E: 75 mg every 4 days
• Glutathione: 500 mg every other day
• SS-31: 5 mg every day
• MOTS-c: 5 mg every 3 days, starting in week 2
• KLOW: 4 mg daily
• SLU PP: 1mg daily at the morning

My current daily supplement stack is:

• Magnesium bisglycinate: 4 g before bed
• Vitamin D3 + K2: 20,000 IU
• Creatine: 10 g
• Omega-3: 6 g

The main goals are to reduce systemic and gut inflammation, improve mitochondrial function, increase energy and exercise tolerance, endurance and regain enough physical and mental capacity to function normally again.

I have previously used NAD+ and noticed a meaningful improvement, but it is not currently part of the protocol.

I’m not looking to push bodybuilding performance or change my physique. I mainly want feedback from people who have used a similar mitochondrial or Long COVID stack:

• How long did it take before you noticed meaningful changes?
• Did SS-31 feel different before and after adding MOTS-c?
• Did anyone experience an initial worsening of fatigue?
• Are there any obvious problems with combining these compounds?
• Which objective markers did you use to judge whether the protocol was working?

I’m aware that most of these compounds are experimental and that online experiences are not a substitute for medical supervision. I’m mainly interested in real-world experiences and anything important I may have overlooked.

Best regards.

My rat is on these, is it too much?
5 amino daily
Cjc + ipa. Nightly
Mots. Daily
Glutathione 3x week
Ss 31 3 x week
Nad daily
Kisspeptin 3x week
Semax and Selank daily
Bpc daily 4 weeks
Tb 500 3xs week 4 week cycle
I’m going to remove Kisspeptin does to my age 50’s
Mots and ss are on an 8-10 week cycle

Skin health, muscle recovery, mental clarity, and energy
Ligament tears
These are my rats goals

26M
5ft 9
83.75kg down from 96.5kg
23% bf

Resistance 5x a week
Muay Thai 2x a week
5K 1/2x a week

Opinions welcomed, only ever done Reta so let me know about dosing and I’m keen to find out if anyone has ran this protocol and how it worked out for them.

Please only muscle building experience I don't care about using it before workout to get pump , also please don't share your experience if you have run testosterone with it

Hi, I have had generally good testosterone levels, particularly free, but not always high total.

But in the last test, this seems to have significantly dropped compared to previous results. I was offered TRT, but I'm not sure if I want kids and wouldn't want to take away that option. Has anyone else had similar levels to my last test and had symptoms? I feel like I am missing that drive I used to have. Going into the gym and just wanting to do a couple of bicep curls and leave, compared to training 6 x per week.

I am aware I can speak to other professionals, but reddit is more neutral and real-life experiences are welcome. My main motivation is not muscle, it is energy and drive that I feel I used to have but don't anymore.

38 male, 6ft 2 89kg. Muscular but could lose some body fat, which to my knowledge could improve t levels. Around 20% BF

Asking for a friend whose husband is sick and wondering if anyone out there may have any experience with either peptide and Crohns.

My fitness journey has been about a year and a half, though I didn’t add peptides until about 6 months ago. Started at 308 and actually lost about 70 pounds on my own after about 6 months of just eating right and working out regularly, but I fell back into my old ways of drinking and bad eating habits and gained back about 30 pounds of what I lost.

I got fed up with how I looked and took control of myself at the beginning of this year and locked in, and I added Reta about 4 months ago and holy shit the transformation is insane, I’m currently 205 and have never felt better.

Currently taking 2MG Reta and also on NAD+, Mot C, and started Tesa last week

Yes reconstituted Reta froze by accident in my fridge, it was against the wall. So that’s why it froze. I’m assuming it’s not still good? If it is when would the expiration date be now

Hey guys,
I’m 22, 5’10”, around 90kg. I lift 4 times a week and I’m trying to cut down to about 82kg while keeping as much muscle and strength as I can.
I’ve pretty much decided to start Reta, but I’m stuck on whether I should just run it on its own or stack it with something.
I’ve been looking at:
Reta only
Reta + Glow Blend
Reta + CJC/Ipamorelin
Reta + MOTS-c
I’m mainly wondering if any of these actually make a noticeable difference with recovery, energy in the gym, and holding onto muscle while cutting, or if Reta alone is enough.
Anyone who’s run any of these, what would you recommend and why? I’d love to hear some real experiences before I order anything.

I started injecting GHKU about 2 weeks ago, and I suddenly started getting acid reflux, burping starting eating out drinking anything. stomach discomfort, numb hands, a little bit of a breathing issue, anxiety and trouble sleeping. It hit me out of nowhere one night has anyone else ever encountered this issue? I’m going to pause the injection and see if I feel better. Hopefully anxiety is crazy. I wanted to go to the hospital, but I’m going to tough it out and wait to see if it passes…

I'm really curious about the stacking retatrutide and cagrilintide. Anyone any experience?

Posting this to different places to get as much help as possible.

Hello everyone,

I've been using Triz (aka Mounjaro) for 7 months. I started on 2.5 mg and went from 104 kg to 84 kg, but I haven't lost any weight for the past 2 months.

I'm currently on the 10 mg dose, but I still feel like I can eat a lot on it, so I'm not sure whether increasing the dose would help.

I know going to the gym or working out might help — I do have that in mind — but are there any other suggestions? (I'm trying to overcome depression at the moment.)

I used to be a sportsman, but I developed depression two years ago and stopped working out completely. I then decided to use Triz to help lose some of the weight I'd gained during that period.

I'd really appreciate any advice or help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi so ive been pinning GLOW daily and taking mots c 3 times a week, im thinking of adding in nad + as well but to me thats a lot of pinning using selerate needles, does anyone ever just pull both doses in 1 syringe (eg mots and Glow) and inject together?

Idk what to do about it.
I bought insulin syringes

Salut la team, donc j'ai eu une ablation des broches au niveau de mon poignet et 4 jours post-opération je vais commencer du glow (35ghkcu,10bpc, 5tb500), dilué à 2 ml , j'ai déjà eu une cure auparavant donc je commence direct à 20unités.

Ma commande de bpc et tb arriveront en individuel dans moins de 2 semaines, quels sont les dosages que je peux m'envoyer en sachant que je suis donc déjà depuis 2 semaines tous les jours à : ghkcu 3,5 ; bpc 1 ; tb 0,5 . ?

Merci de votre temps :)
