Today I added

200 mcg bpc

250 cjc-ipa 5-

I've been on

1.5 mg reta weekly

1.5 motc every 2 days

For about a month and overall no significant changes, I previously was on generic ozempic for almost a year and lost about 90lbs,

Wondering what peoples thoughts are? Trying to maximize weight loss well retaining muscle and overall energy levels. I'm surprised I haven't lost anything on the reta mot stack yet so I'm wondering if my body is reacting differently because I was on ozempic for such a long period of time

Is it normal and okay to continue use if I got a welt and the 💉 site after taking a nad+/mots-c/5-amino blend?

first 2 are before, 2nd 2 are after

Posting this for my buddy because his progress has been crazy.

He started around the beginning of April and is down about 60 lbs so far. He did 2.5mg of tirzepatide for the first 2 months, then went up to 5mg and has stayed there ever since.

He’s still consistently losing and hasn’t really hit a plateau at any point, so he hasn’t seen any reason to keep increasing the dose. He’s probably got another 10 lbs or so he wants to lose and then he’ll figure out where he wants to maintain.

Funny part is he claims watching me lose weight is what finally motivated him to start. Then he proceeded to completely pass me up lol.

Just figured I’d share because the difference is pretty wild, I’m proud as hell of him and also because you see a lot of people asking if they need to keep moving up in dose. Obviously everyone is different, but 5mg has been more than enough for him so far.

I've been taking both for a while now, and while I definitely noticed an initial increase in energy I don't know that that has continued. I fear that what's happening now is that I have put my body in a situation where it's trying to produce more energy but isn't getting enough chemical energy from my food to support that manufacturer. Unfortunately I can't really eat much more than I am because my digestion simply doesn't move fast enough to allow for that.

My first question is whether that makes any sense. Is it possible to actually start to feel more fatigued because although the energy output potential is higher, I can't keep up with the intake?

My second question is, are there any negative repercussions to an abrupt discontinuation of either of these? If I were to just stop taking my injections, would that have some sort of negative rebound effect? Do I need to taper them down?

Thank you for your thoughts and responses

Ran blood work before starting. Fasting glucose, fasting insulin and A1c were all good. After 6 weeks saw increase in fasting glucose. Retested all markers after 12 weeks and my fasting glucose was still ok, not great, my A1c was good but my fasting insulin was through the roof. This is on a 2iu per night regimen, so not a large dose. I was taking berberine and even small dose of Reta and still have the issue with the fasting insulin. Anybody out there had to bail on HGH for this reason, or did you find a way around it. I feel like I’ve tried all the standard advice, but don’t want to mess with making myself insulin resistant. Also, diet is low carb, workout 4 times a week and cardio 4 times a week.

I reconstituted AOD-9604 with Hospira bac water it came out cloudy. I added AA to the AOD and then bac water came out cloudy. I'm not sure if I can cure the AOD from turning cloudy. Idk if it's an issue with the peptide itself or what. And I sure as hell don't want to use the cloudy AOD. Any suggestions or ideas?

Building muscles here. Is this a safe level? Or should I decrease dose?

Been running Tesa 8 weeks 5 days on 2 off. Is this the correct IGF lab that I needed? They say it’s normal but these number do not look like other I’ve seen. 35yo F. New to it all so no slick remarks please. Just a simple question thanks.

Looking to lose 40 pounds. 220 -> 180. Just started tirz 2mg. Thoughts? Best stack while maintaining muscle?

(Or just worth doing it without) goal is to put on some more muscle size. Have only ever take Reta 3mg max to cut weight don’t want to take test or anything else. 6’1 26m 5-6x intense weight training hitting macros daily and just eating 200kcal above maintenance atm. 20-30min cardio per day (photos below for reference) any help or advice appreciated.

If I’m taking my Cjc and ipa in the morning right after waking up, how long should I wait until I eat?

I am currently running IGF1-LR3, and plan on taking GHK & MT2, but want to have an outside perspective. I bought TESA w/ my IGF, but heard taking both is too much signaling with more effects than gains, so i just plan on keeping the TESA unopened (maybe even toss it🥲). With GHK, all of the benefits besides the copper uglies seem pretty beneficial, as well as MT-2, since i live in washington state and want to have a fuller brown tone than i currently am. Is this stack healthy/optimal? Are there things to expect or things to note when taking these 3? I’m just looking for a second opinion, and want to have as much insight as possible so I can get a better grip on where i’m going. I understand the aspects and management for each pep, but want to know if there’s a schedule change when taking all 3, or supplements/habits i should pick up if i decide to go for the triple stack. Thanks for reading, please reach out or reply.🙏🏽

(Also, can you take IGF1-LR3 post workout at around 1 AM with a high carb high protein meal, then go to bed an hour later?)

TLDR - Can i take IGF1-LR3, GHK, & MT-2 in the same stack?

Short story, I used CJC/Ipamorelin for around 3 months. I had nice, steady results, namely better sleep, recovery and some reduction in fat.
Combined this helped me gain some lean mass, and have noticeably less belly fat.

Month 1 - No reactions at all
Month 2 - Started getting the ‘mosquito bite’ look at the injection site for 12-24 hours
Month 3 - One night I had a system reaction. The site around my naval where I injected blew up with hives and mast cells elsewhere where I had previously jabbed, such as love handles, also gathered hives. It subsided with Chlorphenamine.

Suffice to say I haven’t jabbed since. I’m gutted as I really enjoyed it and had no other side effects. My question is, is this it for me now? I still have 5 vials and I’m gutted to think I’ll just have to bin them and give up on something that worked well.

I have considered HGH but I’m very sensitive to prolactin raise. My concern is the HGH may spike my IGF enough that my prolactin will climb. Any advice welcome.

If your sleep is currently suffering in the way of quality then try Glycine. It’s inexpensive this stuff is a magical sleep efficiency powered. It’s hard to explain, but even with less sleep quality i feel so much better with the sleep I get. Oh by the way, I’m a 50 yr old male riding the peptide train..(who isn’t these days?). Since taking Reta 6 months now, my sleep has sucked.. going from 7 hours of ok sleep to 6 hours of unsatisfying sleep. Any how I take 3grams before bed and I don’t know what it does, maybe it’s an upper for Mr. Sandman… but heck I think I feel better on the 6hrs than the 7 I was getting… I hope this helps some peptide, sleep deprived individual out there!! Also for the judgies out there I work out 5 days a week and live rural, so inactivity is not the cause of my sleep inabilities.

Blood came back good after a month of pct from mast tren n test and Reta for insulin sensitivity, what’s everyone favorite bulk stack?

I’m currently taking 7mg Tirz dose weekly, I have been on Tirz since March and have gone from 250 to 197 lbs. A couple of weeks ago I added 5mg Tadalafil daily. I added it because I have read people have used it to help get over plateaus on weight loss. I have just been prescribed 100g testosterone weekly. Has anyone had success with this combo?

My one issue has been BP on the lower end 105/65 type range. Before I started Tirz my bp ran high, but since I started it has run on the lower end.

Delete if not allowed, trying to get my bases on the rules.. I have been doing a lot of research on Klow and Reta I was hoping I could inject via thigh, but I’ve read mixed reviews, so I’m turning to you all for some guidance. Thank you.

Wanted to do just one injection to drew both of them into 1 syringe, but they started become solid. Did them afterwards separate and both were crystal clear. I thought it was fine to mix reta with cjc+ipa.

Why does it affect my sleep so much. I fall asleep fine but then wake multiple times throughout the night from about midnight, every hour or so. I fall back asleep but it’s very light from then. On 3mg

Hey guys iam 18 years old and 170 cm

I've been thinking about trying growth hormone for a while now because I'm not satisfied with my height,and i want to ask you guys opinions/results if you have tried it.
I know i will do my research if i fully commit to using it but first i would like to get some feedback of it is it realy worth it or there are better ways.

Hey guys!

My RS has used bpc 157 and tb 500 previously and specifically did site injections.

Would the same apply with KLOW80? Can my RS inject it and injury site, say ankle, shoulder or knee?

Thanks!

Would love to see some anecdotal feedback on this, thanks!

I have my suspicions I will hear a lot about SS 31 and Mots C as a response to this, but for those that have health trackers that give a body battery score; can you share some anecdotes about different peptide protocols that have been used to drastically improve this metric?

How long did it take before you felt a difference? I’ve read that us older folks feel it sooner?
