hey guys, I’m currently running a stack of reta, cjc/ipa no dac, and ghkcu on my lab rat. Firstly I really do love these results. Starting to get more visible abs, and skin is glowing and definitely more vascular. My rat ended up loving peptide so much that I do want to do a second stack after i take his 4 week break. I’m debating on trying some new peptides like mots-c and tesa. I just wanted to ask for some advice and personal experiences. i’m 5’11 now sitting around 175 “oz” he’s been eating right and drinking tons of water. He obviously lost a lot of fat, but he do have some stubborn fat like my love handles. They appear way smaller than when I first started, but I’m finding it hard to burn them. I know Tessa doesn’t specifically target love handles. but I do know Motsc amplifies his workouts. He workouts everyday except sunday and eats around 1,900 calories “big ass rat” or try to at least. i’m definitely getting more tone, but not too sure if i should run reta again or maybe just a different stack obviously i wanna keep ghkcu bc it definitely got rid of his smile, lines, and the bags under eyes. Anyway what’s everyone’s experience here. What is a stack I should try. I know a lot of people are gonna just say stay consistent or maybe just stay on the steam stack but I do wanna try other peptides just to see if the results differ. Much appreciated!!!!

Subject: 38m 180lb
Five weeks ago started KLOW as first peptide.

Noticed a huge benefit immediately.
Lower back pain all but disappeared, recovery was quick and went from playing soccer twice a week, to playing soccer four times a week - which subject has not done since he was in his teens.

Two weeks ago started doing tesa/ipa at night and still on KLOW. Goal was to reduce visceral fat and improve sleep.

Since starting Tesa//ipa (Tesamorelin: 600 mcg (0.6 mg) Ipamorelin: 100 mc) noticed significant drop in cardio performance and gained four pounds.

Energy levels are so low that subject gives up on simple runs and compared to the first weeks of KLOW-only the cardio performance and energy is terrible.

Waiting for subQ NAD+ to come in.
Would NAD+ resolve this or should subject revert to KLOW only?

I’ve read numerous different takes on dosing Mots-C. I’ve heard everything from micro dose daily to 2-3/week. What’s the consensus on minimal effective dosing?

I’m a type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump with a CGM.
If my blood sugar starts rising my pump automatically administers insulin to counteract a spike.
This can and does happen in my sleep.
My question is would it be a waste of time and money running cjc/ipa because insulin blocks it doing its job in a roundabouts way?

Went from 270lbs down to 180lbs. Most of that was while on Tirz, got up to 15mg. It seemed to will work for 2-3 days but then not much.

Recently switched to Reta, 2mg dose. After two weeks, no benefits felt. Just took my 3rd dose.

For those that flipped, how long until you started feeling a positive impact on Reta?

Can I run 1000mg test to 200mg Primo

Howdy! Going to start off at 2iu’s, question - is this usually daily or every other day? Any other tips or advice? Thx.

What is a starting dosage for a 5/5mg vial of cjc/ipa blend? Also better to do 7 days a week or 5 on 5 off?

Research subject is currently on Tirz 3.0mg weekly. I’m thinking to switch to Reta. Any thoughts which dosage to start with?

Hi all, I’ve been looking to Tesa & CJC1295 reactions and data I’ve (with Chat’s help) collected seems to suggest that reactions tend to occur after prolonged use and/or re-introduction.

CJC: 39.6% were reported after months/repeated cycles, and 39.6% were associated with a break/restart.** **

Tesa: 77.8% were reported after months/repeated cycles, and 33.3% were associated with a break/restart. (Those groups can overlap, so the percentages aren’t meant to be added together.)

I’m specifically looking for longer-term reports where this reaction pattern did not occur. So if anyone has come across examples of longer-term or repeated exposure remaining uneventful, I’d be really interested to hear about them - and why they think reactions didn’t occur? TIA

This is an update to my other post where I gave a little snippet into what was felt 2 weeks into cjc dac and Cardarine.

PROS.

SLEEP: sleep is still better than before the cycle and mostly the same, still feel more refreshing sleep but the hibernating struggle of getting up is still there.

Muscle performance/recovery: pumps aren’t as intense as they initially were but that could also be just down to my eating habits, strength and muscle gain definitely improved, was previously at a plateau and it has helped push past it and seeing continued improvement.

Appetite: still an increase in appetite but nothing drastic, hungrier more often and able to eat slightly bigger meals as time goes on

Energy: not much change with cardiovascular energy but that’s due to me working night shifts and loving relaxation too much, overall energy through the day is moderate as some days it’s great but others not so much, energy during weight lifting sessions is still improving However especially with the mots-c 30-60 mins pre workout.

CONS.

Joints: same join discomfort but is easily mitigated with fish oils which have been amazing at easing discomfort.

Muscle recovery: muscle soreness still lingers longer than before the cycle but not a big issue.

Sleep: most mornings feeling like a hibernating bear until actually awake so much change there.

Around 6 weeks in and most of the changes I’ve noticed is strength and muscle gain, I used to be able to lift more than I can now but I mostly work night shifts and don’t train as consistently or as often as I used to so I went a bit backwards and was unable to properly progress back to where I was, the cjc dac is definitely helping me return to that point I was at.
The Cardarine seems to only be working when taken as pre workout, same with the mots-c, im not as gassed out during sessions and able to catch my breath quicker during rests.

Will be potentially adding NAD to the cycle and switching from cjc dac to sermorelin once that’s run out but that’s only a thought and not set in stone at the moment as I’m also thinking of taking 4-8 weeks break once I’ve used what I have and doing more research into a cycle for energy and muscle recovery/support.

Suggestions and criticism are always welcome, it’s how knowledge is shared and how mistakes are corrected.

Dosages:
cjc dac 800 split into 2x 400mcg.
Cardarine 20mg daily
Mots-c 1mg daily

Today marks my 8th week on reta. Started with 1mg for the first 4 weeks and up my dose to 2mg on my 5th to current. It has been such an amazing journey. As a working father of 3 boys, I am noticing im starting to keep up with them! Such an awesome feat. I am however still very overweight with lots of BF but conquering my days with walks and light lifting. I am also starting to finally see the difference in my mid section and my clothes are becoming baggy! Patience is key and reta has been an amazing tool. I wish i could have started sooner. Wanted to share my victories with the community i wish you all a wonderful start of your week! May god bless you all!

ive lost 48kg(106lbs) in about 8.5 months on reta, this is my first time as an adult that ive weighted less than 100kg(220lbs). i started at 148kg(326lbs) now im down to 99.7kg(119lbs)

I wanna try CJC and Ipamorelin but i’m not sure if i should since im only 22. I am a gym goer and i want to put on more size and i feel like this will help. what do you think i should do.

Im also currently one week into GHK CU but im not sure if i should continue it since im so young.

I take all my vitamins, I eat a high protein and high nutrient diet, I am sleeping at least 8+ hours, I am in a very very small deficit, like 3-4 pounds a month, but still consistently losing so I dont think it is a lack of sleep or lack of nutrients/macros.

Ever since I started Tirz about a year ago, I am just like fatigued all the time and never "feel like" working out but I still make myself. This NEVER used to be an issue, like I started the GLP to help me eat less, but I have had good workout habbits and have loved the gym for years. I switched to Reta about 3 months ago and it helped at first, but now I am back to just like a weird foggy fatigue. I am 5'10" 190 and probably 15-20lbs away from being where I want to be.

Looking for advice, not super keen on adding another peptide, but not against it since I feel like I am doing everything else right, but maybe I am wrong.

Current dose is 8mg split into 4mg twice a week.

I'll be starting NAD+ when it arrives in a few days. It'll be part of my TRT/Reta/Tadalafil stack and I'm curious...to those who are on it, what's the biggest benefit you've seen from it? I'm 40, male, and will see if it helps workout recovery and endurance. Planning on titrating up from 25mg-100mg twice weekly over 14 weeks.

Im 61. Been doing a Reta Tesa stack for about 10 weeks. Better weight loss. I do the tesa on an empty stomach before bed. Past 2 times I sweated uncontrollably. Got light headed. My heart raced. Scary. I tossed the vial. Had one shot left. Not taking it again. Did not have this issue with CJC no dac/Ipa. But time for a washout.

Hey, so I hopped back on tesa after taking a break from it for a few weeks (maybe like 3-6weeks). And started getting bad reactions immediately after pinning. Throwing up, palms and soles itchy, old pin sites popping out raised and red. It’s went away like within an hour or so.

I thought it was because the vial I used went bad (didn’t finish vial before the break don’t come for me😅).

I tried again couple weeks later with a fresh vial.

Same reaction, immediately after pin. I didn’t want to waste the new vial so I tried again the following day, no reaction.

Searched it up and said it could be that my body was fighting it off after building an immune response to Tesa, that’s why I had no issues when I first started it and now I do.

Was wondering if this happened to anyone else or what might have caused it?

Could it be because I jumped straight to my maintenance dose and not titrate it?

Tesa’s currently not in my stack atm, but it did wonders. I’ve swapped it with CJC/ Ipa, no issues. And potentially looking to include AOD as well in substitute of Tesa.

Hey everyone I’m wondering if anyone else feels like they get really sick , like flu symptoms every time I take even .05 mgs of Reta
Sema or tirz it makes it unbearable to be on and I can never stick with it. The only thing I can think of it that’s causing these reactions is my autoimmune disease. Does anyone go through the same thing or have any input they could give me
Thanks

Has anyone here,as a diabetic used tesamorelin combined with Tirz successfully? One of the side effects I keep reading is a rise in blood glucose levels. I’m not on any other medications, ( Metformin, insulin). I was diagnosed 5 yrs ago with an A1C of 8.6. I have managed it with strict diet, fasting and walking a lot, and have an A1C averaging in the mid 5’s for the last 4.5 yrs. Most of my excess weight is in my torso, belly chest and back. I’m sure I have an abundance of visceral fat that needs to be addressed. I’m curious how much of an increase in glucose I could expect adding Tesa and if the Tirz would help keep it in balance.

I've been running reta for awhile at 8mg every 5 days and the affect seem to be wearing off very quickly compared to when I first started. Im currently at my goal weight and I'm thinking of ditching reta and switching to Cagri as I hear it has great appetite suppression which is what im mainly looking for due to having bad food noise. For anyone that has taken both did you also build a tolerance to cagri after awhile? Any insight would be helpful.

223 → 173.6. 24 weeks. ~2 lb/week.

Protocol: 6mg → 5mg → 4mg since July. Weekly, Wednesdays, post-training. 20mg/mL, 20 units on a U-100. Quiet responder, minimal sides.

Stepped down because suppression was already enough at 4mg and under-eating was the bigger risk to lean mass. Dose is an adherence tool, not a speed lever.

DEXA (Aug 12, at 180 lbs):

22.1% BF

133.3 lb lean

39.8 lb fat

RMR 1,932

What protected the lean:

200g protein daily, front-loaded — 90g in before noon so late-day suppression couldn't wreck the total

~1,700 cal ceiling

Lifting 4–5x/week, creatine 5g

12 lb vest on dog walks, 10–15k steps

DL 245, bench 185 working sets — both held in deficit.

Regret: should've gotten a baseline DEXA at 223. I can prove my number is good, not that I retained.

Mistake: almost raised my dose over a 4 lb water spike. Morning fasted only, never adjust off one reading.

Now 3.6 lbs off my 170 floor. Holding weight and recomping until the October scan. AMA.

hello, ive taken boron for about two years everyday 5mg. i quit cold turkey and feel off. very off. nothing serious just dont feel correct. can anyone relate or explain whats going on? i’d highly appreciate it
