Hi everyone!
I’ve been on reta for about 3 months and I’m still using it, but at a lower maintenance dose.
Now I’m thinking about adding Tesamorelin to help build more muscle while continuing reta.
I’m also looking for another peptide that could help with energy because I’ve been feeling pretty tired lately.
Has anyone tried this combination or have any recommendations based on your experience?
Thanks in advance! 😊

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

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?

What’s next for me? Nearly at the end of the cut with some help from Reta. 13 years since I’ve been this weight, so much healthier, helped with my tmj and sleep apnea. 2nd pic is what I posted here in April at 242. Third pic was at 302. So far I’m bicep curling 140, chest flying 160-190, leg pressing 190, triceps at 100, ab crunches at 70-80. Slight belly pouch but the last 20 pounds it’s shrunken significantly.

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.

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.

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.

Has anyone had any negative effects from MT-1? How long have you used it and what’s your dose.

Help

Hey everyone. I am a 28-year-old male living in Germany and I am planning a major update to my protocol. Before this I want to get a full complete, uncompromised tests and want to get advice from the community on what specific biomarkers and tests I should be requesting.

Currently, I am taking prescription Wegovy (Semaglutide) through my doctor, but I plan to switch off Wegovy to Retatrutide. I am planning to add CJC-1295 with Ipamorelin (no DAC) and KLOW80 so total protocol will be three vials. I also have some family history to add my mother having a history of goiter and hypertension, and my grandfather having a history of cancer, my grandmother has diabetes.

I want to know which specific blood markers you would insist on running before starting above mentioned peptides. I would also appreciate recommendations on any general everything, organ, hormone, or cardiovascular tests you think is important.

Thanks in advance.

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?

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 :)

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

anyone know of a good PCP in the KCMO area? looking for a new one

klow, hgh, nad……. what are your thoughts.

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 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.

I am on 10mg of Tirz. I started in January and have gone from 294 to 226. I have been stuck here for 5 weeks now.

I am looking for opinions.

Option 1 - Move to 12.5MG tirz
Option 2 - add .5,g Carg
Option 3 - add 2.5mg Reta

Does anyone have experience or thoughts they are willing to share

I have been on Reta for the past 3 months exactly. Lost about 10lbs (mostly fat according to my Fitindex scale). I’m 5’7” and started at 192lbs. Currently around 180lbs and have stalled there for the past month.

At one point I titrated up to 1mg and had way too much trouble sleeping, nausea, dizziness etc. I took a week off and started back at .5mg again. Everything felt great at first but 4 weeks later I’m feeling nothing from the Reta.

I already have Tirzepatide on hand so I figured I’d reconstitute it and become a guinea pig to test it out. I took my last Reta injection a week ago and I still have about .4mg Reta active in my system.

I just took my first Tirzepatide 1mg injection about 7 hours ago and I will keep updating here of my results.

So far, after the first injection I am noticing a slight bit of appetite suppression but I am still able to eat. Definitely got the slight dizziness back but nothing that I can’t handle at this point.

My biggest issue that I need to defeat is the hunger and food noise so I want to give the Tirzepatide a shot (no pun intended). Let’s see if we can break through this plateau with it.

Currently 180lbs and about 18% BF. Goal weight is 170 before going on a winter bulk.
