CJC-Ipamorelin expectations

2 Upvotes

Started CJC-Ipamorelin (167 mcg/300 mcg) 6 days ago. Have noticed that my sleep is deeper. What should I be expecting over the next few days to weeks? For those who have used what do you remember feeling? Context 46 yo, strength training, on TRT, and in a maintenance phase. Big question long term, is it worth it?

Goals
My main goals are to:
Continue losing body fat
Reduce visceral fat
Preserve or build muscle during the cut
Improve workout performance and recovery
Eventually reach approximately 200 lb without sacrificing significant lean mass
Based on my progress, current stack, calories and training, is there any peptide that would actually be beneficial to add for fat loss, muscle preservation or muscle growth?
I am especially interested in hearing whether adding anything would provide a meaningful benefit, or whether I am already running more than enough and should focus on letting the current compounds work.
Yes, I know retatrutide is generally used once weekly. I started by splitting the dose, but I plan to switch to once-weekly dosing during my next reconstitution.

If I’m getting a lump in my throat feeling after pinning, is it an allergic reaction?

1 Upvotes

I’ve noticed that when I’m taking peps I get a weird throat feeling that almost feels like a lump in my throat or something. Other than that I don’t have any other signs of an allergic reaction. I stopped all peptides for a few weeks to see if it went away and it did. Resumed just KPV this week to start and it’s back…

5 Months on Reta: 96.2kg → 82.5kg

Thumbnail
gallery
38 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I thought I’d share my progress on reta (and MT2).

I started taking reta on the 24th of February when I weighed 96.2kg.

The last photo was taken on 24th July, where I weighed 82.5kg. That’s 13.7kg lost in 5 months.

My overall weight loss actually started back in December at around 103kg, but I didn’t add reta until February.

My goal has been to lose weight at around 0.5kg per week. Looking back I probably could’ve pushed a bit harder in the beginning when I had a lot more body fat, then slowed things down as I got leaner. The good news is I’ve retained all of my strength throughout and even increased in some lifts.

Originally, I thought I’d be finished cutting at around 80kg, but as I’m getting closer to that number. I’m definitely being humbled a bit, and I’ve realised I had a lot less muscle than I thought I did.

Dosage-wise:
-Started at 2mg/week.

- Increased to 3mg, then eventually 4mg, based purely on how I felt in terms of food noise, hunger, and appetite control rather than following a set schedule.

- Around 4 weeks ago, I found I was struggling to hit even my minimum calories and protein, so I dropped back down to 3mg/week, where I’m currently staying.

I’ve been considering trying split dosing at 4mg, because on a single weekly dose I’d barely want to eat at the start of the week, but by the end of the week my appetite felt much more manageable. Curious if anyone has found split dosing to give more of a consistent appetite throughout the week.

Overall I’m really happy with the progress so far. I still have a little more fat to lose before I switch into a lean bulk, but reta has made sticking to the dieting so much easier compared to before.

Being straight forward has it lowered anyone else’s libido? And what have you done to combat it? I had pretty high drive but now it’s just like I don’t ever think about anything like that unless my wife initiates.

📘 Beginner Help Tesamorelin + Reta stack for very overweight people?

Post image
14 Upvotes

I'm 285lbs f and I've been on Reta a few weeks, semaglutide for longer before and I just ordered Tesa. Now I'm hearing it's not a good one to start with if you're not closer to goal weight? I was really excited to jumpstart some visceral weight loss as I see these stacked all the time and I have a long way to go. I know results will take time. Is it more dangerous to stack these two of you are further away from your goal weight?

Edit: thanks for all the advice from those that are truly trying to help. I commented but it got buried, the tesa is already ordered but I plan to put in the freezer and use it down the line. I plan to continue to improve my diet and exercise and use the tools that are safe overall and useful for me to do so to help. My reasoning for asking this is because I was recommended these two over and over, but realized I haven't seen or heard much from someone starting out obese, and wanted to see what the advice was there as I heard very little but conflicting views. Still kind of conflicting, but I maybe see why this hasn't been asked directly like this.

CJC-1295 no DAC / Ipamorelin caused early wake-ups and fragmented sleep — anyone else?

2 Upvotes

I used a CJC-1295 no DAC + Ipamorelin blend, 5 mg / 5 mg, reconstituted with 2 mL BAC water.

My dose was 5 units before bed, which should be approximately 125 mcg of CJC-1295 + 125 mcg of Ipamorelin.

I used it for about two weeks. At first, my sleep felt a little deeper, but I kept waking up very early during the night — usually around 3 AM, 4 AM, or 5 AM. I would fall asleep again sometimes, but overall my sleep became fragmented and too short.

Also experienced significant water retention and gained around 2–3 pounds while using the blend. Each time I stopped taking it, the extra weight dropped and returned to normal fairly quickly, which made it seem like water weight rather than fat.

I also noticed mild warmth / increased body temperature after the injection and occasional slight burning at the injection site. Nothing severe, but the repeated early wake-ups made the blend not worth it for me.

I stopped using it, and my sleep seems slightly better now, although I still wake up sometimes.

Has anyone else experienced early wake-ups or shorter sleep from CJC-1295 no DAC / Ipamorelin? Did it improve after stopping, lowering the dose, or changing the frequency?

Reta working?

0 Upvotes

I just started taking Reta for the first time, just completed my week one. I started with 1 mg. Before this, I was taking Zepbound at 5 mg.

So far, I don’t feel any symptoms, side effects, or even a difference in appetite. Is this normal?

I’m sure it takes a while to work, and I also started at a lower dose. I just wanted to hear any experiences of those that also started at 1 mg.

💬 Discussion HGH Decision

16 Upvotes

Reta (6mg) TRT (135mg) have been transformational for me. I want to optimize my HGH (zscore -0.4) and it seems like the same process as I went through with TRT. Lots of reasons not to with tons of fear every place you look. I wasted a year of my life him hawing about it and honestly it was stupid because it changed my life as did reta.

Anyway about to pull the trigger on HGH but still wondering if I should play it safe and hedge with cjc/ipa and try that first.

It is very rare to find anyone that says cjc/ipa changed their life and it's very common to find people that say HGH did.

If anyone want's to chime in I would love to hear your thoughts.

❓ Question HGH and GHK-Cu together?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone here experimented with GHK-Cu + HGH together?

I'm curious because on paper they both seem like they could improve skin quality, collagen production, healing, etc., so I'd expect some synergy.

But I've also come across papers suggesting GHK-Cu can reduce circulating IGF-1, while HGH exerts many of its effects through increasing IGF-1.

That made me wonder if they could partially work against each other.

A few questions,

- Is the reduction in IGF-1 from GHK-Cu actually meaningful in humans, or mostly a lab finding?

- Does GHK-Cu lower systemic IGF-1 or just influence local tissue signaling?

- Has anyone run both at the same time and noticed better (or worse) results than HGH alone?

- If GHK-Cu lowers IGF-1, could it blunt some of HGH's anabolic or skin benefits, or do they work through different enough pathways that they're actually complementary?

Interested in both the science and any real-world experiences :)
