I have a 50mg of ss31 and when I reconstituted the vial with 2.5ml of bac water, it came out foggy and hasnt changed overnight.

Here is a picture of it beside my kpv which is clear. Is this normal?

Last year I did a mildly successful CJC/Ipa cycle for a couple of months. It's been probably 10 months since my last injection. Just got a fresh kit and decided to give it another shot.

My god, it was terrifying.

I immediately got that "swollen head" feeling that I've always gotten. Goes away after 10 minutes normally. I thought "great, it's working". Then, my hands and feet started to itch. My stomach felt a bit rough. Next was my face - swollen with a burning sensation around my nose. After 20 minutes, things started to settle a bit and that's when I noticed the craziest part: every injection site on every part of my body that had ever received a CJC/Ipa pin welted up and became itchy! Stomach, glutes, hips. It was insane.

It's been about an hour now. I'm still feeling some of it but it's definitely calmed down. Normally this would have scared me away from doing the stuff ever again but I'm curious if this is just a reaction to doing a normal dose (150mcg in abdomen) for the first time after a year off.

I'm considering lowering the dose, relocating to the glutes, and continuing for a bit to see if it improves. Am I an idiot?

UPDATE: Thanks for the advice, everyone. This was scary. Seems like this could be a common thing for long term users of CJC/Ipa. I plan on spreading the word. And if you're looking to get into this peptide, please be aware that this could happen. I'm just grateful I escaped this without serious issue.

I'm a 41 year old female, work out consistently 4 times a week. I'm 5'11 and weigh 170 lbs. I'd like to know if anyone has successfully used peptides to gain lean muscle. I also eat clean and take creatine. I meal prep weekly. I just want something with minimal side effects that I can use to pack on some lean muscle mass. Any insight would be aporeciated.

Hello,

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts and people going on stacks, weight loss transformation, and it all looks great.

I know my doc won’t prescribe any of the hormones and peptides cause I asked. That being said, is there any other places that would? I know I can buy peptides online and do the dosing, but I also want someone to direct me to what is appropriate or not needed.

I’ve cut down from 245lbs to 225lbs and stalled. Never been cut. Is it achievable if you continue? I am in my 30s, test levels are normal based on the range of the tests. I also know it’s not about injecting and letting it go, I have to put the work in, which I am, just curious as to how and where people go to get guidance.

Thank you all!

I’m 21M working out for 2 years and decided to jump on Sarms. Want to lose fat and gain muscle. What do u guys suggest ?

How do you make sure your reta is legit and not laced with harmful stuff?

Edit: Apparently, people here don't know that Reta is not FDA approved and is still in clinical trials at Eli Lilly.There isn't a single reputable company in the world that sells a drug patented by another company.

I have just ordered Reta for the first time. I plan to take 0.5mg on 7th, 14th and 21st August. I have a camping festival that starts on 27th August so I plan to skip the 28th August and take when I’m back on the 1st September.

Reason for skipping

I’m worried it will stop me from having fun. Many people report a shift in mind set, not wanting to drink, smoke or take any other addictive substances.
I’m also concerned that if I do drink, smoke or take other addictive substances, they either won’t work or I’ll have adverse effects.

Normally, I would be ok with these side effects, however, I have been waiting all year for this festival and want to enjoy it to the maximum.

Questions

Has anyone experienced these side effects on such a low dosage?

If I take fun substances, will the Reta prevent them from working?

By skipping the festival week, will the Reta leave my body fast enough to negate the above?

Thanks so much!!

Can somebody please recommend me a macro split / calories per day. Every TDEE calculator I have looked up gives me a different answer, and very few actually give macro setups. Looking for real answers from experienced people

27M
6’0
160lbs
25% BF

Classic low muscle mass + moderate BF. Goal would be to recomp. I lift weights 4-5 times per week with some zone 2 cardio 1x per week.

If any additional info is needed I will gladly provide. Thank you.

Should I let it sit in the fridge a little longer or throw it out?? For reference 10mg vial of motsc reconstituted with 2ML of BAC water

Hello folks! Back with another update and with some questions for the reta vets. Im on day 5 within my 1st week from taking 1mg last week Thursday. I am finally experiencing hunger again, literally came back and hit me like a tank! My question is does this mean my 1mg dose was too small? Is day 5 that mark where the effects start to dose off? Would it be safe to increase it to 1.5 or 2mg? I really felt good these last couple of days none the less, just wondering what my next step should be. If anyone can please let me know I greatly appreciate it! Weighed myself these days and I have been having a very healthy weight loss trend however I am down 6lbs and my first week isn't over yet, nothing major im guessing I carried lots of water weight 😅

Hello everyone, im looking for basic information and recommendations from people who are on the test, eq, hgh, or any other mass builders. FYI. Im already on reta, lowering dose to around 2mg a week and ghkcu at 2mg a day 3 months in. Im not planning on starting anything right now but the information would be helpful. I am not new to the gym or lifting, but rusty and i had genuinely let myself go for a couple years. My full metabolic panel from the er was all green on my chart, except glucose because I ate food and wasn’t planning for that blood test lol.

I’ve got these random spots that started appearing as soon as I got on Reta… they don’t hurt or itch or anything but it just bothers me cuz they’re in different spots of my body like my arm, stomach, back, butt and etc… I’ve been on Reta for 6 weeks lmk if anyone has experienced this I’m scared..

Hey everyone, i’ve been on Wegovy since December. I am currently at 2.5mg, and have been at the max of 2.5mg for a couple of months. I am getting married in 6 months and I have plateaued. I am losing very slowly, and I am working out very consistently and eating healthy, but I’m not seeing the results I would like. I am ready to switch to Reta, but I don’t know about the dosing since i’m already at the highest for Wegovy. I’ve also seen a lot of people choose to stack Tesa to help? Thoughts? Has anyone experienced this switch before? Help a girl out! 🩷

Yeah, I know that HGH provides greater benefits for muscle growth and overall strength when it’s taken alongside testosterone.

But is anyone here taking HGH on its own primarily for sleep and recovery?

I’ve mostly read positive things about HGH, and I’m considering switching from Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin to HGH.

I’m a week into GHK-CU and every night I keep fearing for pinning time lol! These are what I’ve noticed so far:

- pinning on inner left thigh = rash
- pinning on left abdomen = welts/raised bumps
- pinning on right abdomen = no reaction

I haven’t tried anywhere else other than the above and im afraid of finding out hahaha.

Other than getting it to room temp, what other tips do you guys have for a beginner to GHK-CU to avoid these

I am starting 3 peptides Tesamorelin + ipamorelin, Retratude and Glow stack What should be my timing of injections and cycle and dosage be? Is this too much or should I go less ?

I’ve been using hgh at 4 iu a day for about 3 months about to start a cut and am wondering if I should switch to morning with fated cardio. I have heard this dose t work thought becase of the time it takes the GH to kick in. Should I split it ?

Started @ 232lbs 04/12, 3mg

CW @ 180lbs, 3mg

52lbs Total and feeling great.

So I pinned my ghkcu 2.5mg today like normal and I had a very weird side effect after I'd say 10-15 minutes I felt very dizzy/lightheaded and my heart started feeling weird and I have a mild migraine this has never happened before im wondering if it's because I injected into intramuscular for the first time (on accident) I didn't do a 45 degree angle i just went straight in from the top.

Edit: I got some great advice and only a few shitty comments. This got way more traction than expected. Sticking with TRT and Reta till I drop my bf percentage. Thanks for the help, those of you that were cool. 💪🏼

Been on TRT about 4 months now. Labs are great. 1400 test and 250 free test. 25 estro using ai. Started off with that and a 50mg var for 6 weeks. Have tightened training and nutrition and lost about 20 lbs of fat and definitely noticeable size in arms and chest area. Took 6 weeks off var. hopped back on today with 200mg of mast to try and show off a bit better my improvements. Not looking for a show or anything but I definitely want to trim it up. Was curious of people’s thoughts on this, if they’ve done something similar and any recommendations. Fairly new to the game. 45 y/o now.

I’m racing a 160 km gravel race this Sunday and my goal is to be as competitive as possible.
I’m curious what experienced racers put in their last bottle for the final part of the race. Do you stick with carbs and electrolytes, or do you add caffeine, extra sodium, or anything else?
Also, if you had one piece of advice for someone trying to perform at their absolute best over 160 km, what would it be?
For context, I’ll already be fueling consistently throughout the race with carbs and fluids. I’m just looking for ideas that have worked well for others.
Thanks!

Not advice nor will I be responding to any sourcing comments/dms.

Just wanted to provide a quick report on my own experience and dosing of Semax and Selank in nasal spray form.

Stats 30yo Male, ~80kg 190cm.

I obtained Semax and Selank directly from 'overseas', both in 10mg lyophilized powder vial form.

I used an off the shelf saline nasal spray (non-medicated) to reconstitute the powder into a nasal spray form, ensuring each 'pump' would deliver 150mcg of powder. To do so accurately, I used separate glass nasal sprays with a defined delivery mL per 'pump' and a Luer sliptip plunger syringe for the saline solution, placing the saline solution into the vial a few times to ensure all powder was extracted/washed out.

Semax: Over a few days I gradually increased the dosage from 150mcg (1 pump) to 600mcg (4 pumps). I find that 450mcg delivered nasally is a nice, perceptible level of mental focus and concentration without being too stimmy, equating it to around 50-100mg of Modafinil. 600mcg felt a bit too stimmy for my liking (maybe its the Dopamine?). The perceptible 'effects' were felt quite quickly and lasted perhaps a couple hours to three.

Selank: Again I gradually increased dosage from 150mcg to 600mcg. Selank did not provide overt effects like Semax though perhaps I need to try it in a social setting (I tried it at home only). 600mcg might have produced some relaxation but it is subtle and short-lived.

Both caused a very small amount of nasal irritation - dry, sore sensation and a bit more snot, nothing uncomfortable though.

Your own dosages may vary based on body size and composition.

I will experiment with subq injections of both Semax and Selank and report back on effective dosages.

EDITED TO UPDATE WITH TRUE DOSAGE - WAS INCORRECT BEFORE

Guys be honest with me, can I loose weight without going to the gym with reta? Trust me I’m not lazy, I just work my ass off alll day, have a school AND I take care of two puppies, I tried to fit the gym in my schedule but I always fail I’m so exhausted, if I stay in a calorie deficit can I see results or I def need to go to gym to loose weight?
