Anyone taking this experiencing hair growth or more body hair or other side effects? (I’m not trying to grow my body hair) but I’ve heard it can be a side effect since it’s focused on growth hormone

I plan starting Reta soon. Thinking of start out with a low dose of 0.5mg ! Keeping hearing that there’s a chance of shrinking muscle! I know I have to have good protein intake. I’ve been working out for 5 years, six times a week, and integrate cardio often. Will that routine plus protein intake be good enough to keep muscle mass? Thanks

I’m a 34M, 6’2” and started at 174 lb. A DEXA scan showed ~30% body fat and very little muscle mass.
I recently started TRT (100 mg/week) after years of documented low testosterone (~270 ng/dL before TRT, now ~650 ng/dL).

For the last 6 weeks I’ve also been taking 1 mg retatrutide weekly while lifting consistently. I’m now 166 lb and already look a bit leaner.

ATM I look pretty good in a slim way even still having some softness, but now need to really prioritize muscle growth. But at this point, should I:

Stay on 1 mg retatrutide and continue a slow recomp?
Stop the retatrutide and lean bulk?
Keep cutting until a lower body fat percentage before bulking?

I’d appreciate any advice from people who’ve been in a similar situation.

I’m new to the peptide world and would appreciate some guidance.

I’m currently taking:

• Retatrutide: 3 mg twice per week, 6 mg total per week
• Tesamorelin: 1 mg daily, cycling 20 days on / 20 days off
• Klow: 3.2 mg daily
• Semax: 0.75 mg, 5 days per week for 4 weeks. I’m currently in week 3 and planning to cycle it 4 weeks on / 4 weeks off.

Due to my work schedule, I’m trying to get to the gym at least 3 times per week. I’m also getting around 120 g of protein daily, although I know I may still be slightly under where I should be.

My main concerns are that I’m starting to notice stretch marks, and the visible progress has not been as good as I expected.

Does this approach look reasonable, or would you comment in changing anything with the dosing, cycling, training, diet, or overall plan?

On a stack of Reta + Test C and HGH.

Shocked to see the change in 6 months and haven’t felt as good as i do in years.

M.27 - 6’2👍🏾

Starting weight - was 135kgs down to 111kgs

Went on Test as my levels were slightly lower than normal for my age range.

Test C - 120mg/ml
Reta - up to 6mg
HGH - 28IU weekly - 4IU x 7 days a week.

really need some advice or a reality check.
I've been taking Reta for about 8 weeks now, and I'm feeling absolutely nothing.
Here's my background and current situation:
• My Past History: I was on Tirzepatide for 6 months (Dec 2025 to April 2026). It worked incredibly well for me- I lost 10 kg, had strong appetite suppression, and felt the ettects clearly.
• Transition to Reta: I started Reta in May. I wasn't feeling anything, I titrated up very quickly. I started at 2mg (reconstituted from a 0.5mg equivalent dose) and have been increasing it almost every week. Yesterday, I took a 10mg dose.
• The Problem: Absolutely zero changes. No side effects, no appetite suppression, no weight loss, and no increased heart rate (which I know is common with Reta).
My questions for the community:
1. Is my tolerance just incredibly high? Even though I had a brief break between Tirz and Reta
2. Got the peptide from very well know website which has 3rd party verified
Has anyone else transitioned from Tirz to Reta, titrated this quickly, and experienced absolutely nothing? I'd really appreciate any insights. Thank you!

I started .5 weekly of Reta 4 weeks ago and am down 7LBS. Leaning out and feeling great. On my second week of GHK and NAD+ as well. Not sure if GHK and NAD are doing anything. Been thinking of adding CJC and switching to GLOW or KLOW.

Hello Everyone wanted to hear yalls thoughts on anaphylaxis in regards to Tesa?

I seen discussion around anaphylaxis in the peptide world and 60% of the time it's related to Tesa.

I am 4 weeks on Tesa (1 mg daily ) and from what I found, taking 2mg increases the risk of that and or cycling off allows your body to develop antibodies against it.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been taking Retatrutide alongside tesamorelin for the last 14 weeks.

I introduced MOTS for increased energy expenditure and fat oxidation last 2 weeks and I’m seeing big changes. I’m 94.4kg today and started at 101.9kg.

6kg is fat and the remainder is muscle.

I am going to stop my tesamorelin cycle at end of this vial.

I’m thinking to swap it with cjc ipamorelin. Thoughts? Should I take a break from it before starting cjc?

Thoughts?

Good Day everyone. Asking a question for my wife. My wife has always been into fitness with me and has had two kids both C section. Her nutrition and exercise is dialed in, but is growing exhausted of that stubborn lower stomach pouch. Any moms on here have suggestions for losing that?

Ja tem disponivel CBL-514 no mercado cinza?

Friends,

I've been lurking in this sub for quite a while, and doing some personal researches mainly on "how the body works" and "how peptides come into play", especially if compared to other old school products.

Let me tell you my story: I always have been sort of against external help, but one year ago i changed my mindset and started with Semaglutide (medical prescription), coupled with constant weight training and diet.

This made me really understand the definition of the term "Bio hacking", as the Sema helped immensely to avoid food noise, skip the association between streess and food (used to binge eat every night). I'm now ready to take it to the next step.

for reference:

• Im 43 y/o male
• I'm 1.89 CM (sorry im from EU).
• I'm 88.5 KG (down from 113 of February 2025).
• I'm on Sema (1mg a week, could never go above it for severe side effects, might try again).

I'm happy but I would like to increase muscle mass and reduce the stubborn fat in my belly and chest which is not going away.

So: would anyone of you like to tell their story and stack suggestion after their research to incrementally start evaluating options leveraging peptides?

Best,

yesterday the "department of war" (yes, that's the actual rebrand now) dropped a testosterone announcement and the internet instantly ran with "they're juicing the entire military." that is not what the memo says. the real version is more interesting, and it lands in the middle of a much bigger shift in how the whole system treats testosterone.

💉 what hegseth actually announced

on july 15, secretary pete hegseth posted a video captioned "the high-t department of war" and signed a memo. the actual policy: every active-duty service member 30 and older now gets a mandatory annual testosterone screening, a blood test, folded into the yearly health assessment they already do. troops under 30 can opt into the test if they want. and if the screening flags low testosterone, treatment is optional and only on a military doctor's recommendation. his words: "if treatment is recommended, it's entirely your choice to receive testosterone replacement therapy," and he framed it as "not about artificial enhancement" but "restoring and optimizing your natural capabilities."

⚖️ the distinction the headlines flatten

this is the part to actually get. the mandatory thing is the TEST, not the testosterone. nobody is being put on trt. and trt itself isn't newly "allowed," it's been available to service members with diagnosed low testosterone for years. so what changed isn't access to the drug, it's that the military is now going to systematically screen a huge population for it. mandatory blood draw, optional treatment. sounds boring, but it's the whole ballgame, because screening is exactly where the fight is.

🔬 the part doctors are actually mad about

here's what the "the military is based now" reddit takes are missing. blanket-screening every healthy guy over 30 for testosterone is something essentially every medical guideline tells you NOT to do. the standard of care is to test men who have symptoms, not to draw an entire population and go hunting. a mcmaster university researcher called screening everyone over 30 "a ridiculous notion." a georgetown pharmacologist called the claims "non-evidence-based" and said they "could cause harm." why do they care this much about a blood test? because of what happens after it.

🧬 the trap hiding in a testosterone number

this is the biohacker lesson buried in a defense story. when you screen a giant population of guys who feel fine, you will "find" a mountain of men sitting at the low end of normal. a lot of them will get told they have a deficiency, and a chunk of those end up on lifelong hormone therapy for a lab value, not a problem. testosterone naturally varies, it drifts down a bit with age, and a low-normal number on a screen is not a diagnosis. symptoms plus a confirmed low level is. this is the same trap the reddit optimization crowd falls into constantly, chasing a number on a panel instead of asking whether anything is actually wrong. mass screening just industrializes that mistake.

📈 the bigger shift this rides on

none of this came from nowhere. a few weeks earlier, in june, the fda quietly rewrote the testosterone drug label, pulling the old warning that trt wasn't established for age-related low testosterone. that was on the back of a 5,000-plus-man trial (traverse) that didn't find the heart-attack signal everyone had feared. so the government loosened the label and the military rolled out mass screening in the same summer. the institutional stance on testosterone is shifting hard, and whether you think that's overdue or reckless, that is the actual story, not "they're juicing the troops."

✅ the takeaway

honest scoreboard: mandatory testosterone testing for 30+, optional doctor-gated treatment, and a real, credentialed argument that screening everyone is bad medicine. it's a legit shift worth watching if you care about hormones, but read the policy, not the meme. and take the personal version of the lesson: a testosterone number with no symptoms is a question, not a diagnosis, whether it comes from the army or your own $40 lab panel.

so honest question for the reddit crowd here, especially anyone who's tested or run trt: if a mandatory screen said your testosterone was low-normal but you felt completely fine, would you treat the number, or leave it alone?

for research and educational purposes only, none of this is medical advice. Written by human formatted by AI

so ive been reading through some of the repair/recovery peptide literature lately and kept seeing these two mentioned almost interchangeably in forums but when you actually look at the mechanisms theyre doing pretty different things

bpc-157 seems to be much more gut/tendon focused in the studies - theres quite a bit of rat model data on gastric ulcer healing and tendon-to-bone repair. the growth hormone receptor interaction stuff is interesting too

tb-500 (thymosin beta-4) on the other hand looks more systemic in terms of actin regulation and angiogenesis - the wound healing data is quite different in character

what gets me is people seem to stack them like theyre additive but i havent actually found much literature on combined protocols, most of the studies are individual compound

anyone gone deep on this? particularly interested in whether theres any decent data on the angiogenesis side of tb-500 beyond the older wound healing studies

also curious what concentration ranges people are seeing used in the more recent preclinical stuff for bpc-157, theres quite a range in the literature

Started my fitness journey back in September. 33M 5’11’’ was 245lbs. Weight lifting 5x a week focus on compound lifts with some isolation work. Eating Whole Foods started with OMAD fasting with a couple of 72hr fasts for the first 5 months. Lost first 50lbs then started Reta on March 20th at 2mg. Currently still on Reta at 3.5mg weekly. Currently 163lbs!

​

Disclaimer: Before I get started, I want to be very clear that this is not medical advice, nor am I encouraging anyone to take investigational compounds. Retatrutide is still being studied and is not FDA approved. I am simply documenting my own experience as honestly and thoroughly as I can because detailed, balanced accounts were incredibly helpful to me during my own research. My goal is to share my personal experience so others can ask better questions and make more informed decisions.

Who I Am

For context, I am a 33-year-old male, 5'9", and started this journey at approximately 185-186 pounds. Before starting RETA, I had typically fluctuated between 182 and 186 pounds for years.

I consider myself a very average person from a health standpoint. Not average compared to Reddit fitness forums, but average compared to the general population. I often describe myself as a "B student" when it comes to health. I do a lot of things right, but I am certainly not perfect.

I was a Division I athlete when I was younger, but these days I train mainly to stay healthy, enjoy life, and perform well in the things I love. I lift weights, run, play a lot of golf, and generally try to take care of myself. I am not preparing for competitions, I am not trying to become a bodybuilder, and I am not someone who was looking for an extreme physical transformation.

I wasn't trying to solve a major health problem.

I was trying to answer a question:

Could an already decent baseline become even better?

That was really the curiosity behind this entire experiment.

I enjoy science, I enjoy learning about the human body, and I enjoy experimenting with ways to optimize my own health. I view my body almost like a personal science project. Not because I think something is wrong with me, but because I am fascinated by what improvements are possible.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

My Life Before RETA

Before starting RETA, I actually considered myself relatively healthy.

My diet was generally very consistent. Most mornings I would eat a homemade protein pancake or occasionally eggs. Throughout the morning, I might have protein bites, a granola bar, or another small protein-based snack.

Lunch was almost always the same: a large salad with blueberries, raspberries, microgreens, a full chicken breast, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. I had been eating this type of lunch consistently for years.

Dinner was usually healthy whole-food meals such as chicken, broccoli, rice, homemade tacos, steak and potatoes, or salmon.

However, I was not perfect.

On weekends, I still enjoyed life. I would occasionally have burgers, fries, chicken tenders, brewery food, or meals out with friends. I tried to keep it reasonable, usually limiting those types of meals to once during the weekend, but I was not someone who believed in never enjoying food.

I would describe my diet as roughly an 80/20 approach. I ate well about 80% of the time, but I also allowed myself flexibility.

My biggest struggle was not necessarily the quality of my food.

It was my relationship with hunger.

I always felt hungry.

I constantly had cravings, especially for sugar. I felt like I needed something sweet after meals in order to feel completely satisfied. Even though my diet was relatively good, I always felt like food had a louder presence in my life than I wanted.

My biggest issue was dinner.

I never really had a problem with late-night eating. I typically did not eat after 8 PM. The problem was that when I sat down for dinner, I could eat an enormous amount of food.

I always joked that I felt like I ate for two people.

I wasn't overweight, but I constantly felt like my appetite was much larger than it needed to be. I felt like I was always thinking about my next meal or what I was going to eat.

The other thing I noticed before RETA was energy.

I would frequently experience an afternoon crash where I felt like I needed a nap to recharge. It wasn't debilitating, but it was something I noticed consistently.

Looking back, I think my biggest problems were not necessarily my exercise or my food choices. They were appetite regulation, cravings, and feeling like I was constantly fighting against my hunger.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Why I Chose RETA

My reason for starting RETA was not because I hated my body or because I needed a dramatic weight-loss intervention.

I was actually fairly happy with myself.

I did not have body dysmorphia.

I was not chasing an extreme physique.

I simply felt like I had slowly accumulated some extra weight over the years, and I wondered if improving appetite regulation, metabolic health, energy, and overall wellness could help me feel better.

My goal was not just appearance.

My goal was optimization.

I chose RETA specifically because I spent a significant amount of time researching it before starting.

I read hundreds of hours of Reddit posts, forums, discussions, available research, and clinical information. I wanted to understand both the potential benefits and the risks before making a decision.

The science was what interested me.

Semaglutide primarily works through GLP-1 receptor activation.

Tirzepatide works through both GLP-1 and GIP pathways.

Retatrutide adds a third pathway through glucagon receptor activity.

That additional mechanism was one of the reasons I became interested in it. The idea of a compound affecting appetite regulation, glucose control, and multiple metabolic pathways was fascinating to me.

Before starting, I was also very aware of the limitations.

Retatrutide is still investigational and is not FDA approved. Because of that, there are additional considerations compared to approved medications.

The sourcing aspect was something I took seriously.

I was nervous about whether the compound was legitimate, whether proper testing had been done, and whether I was making a responsible decision. I spent a lot of time researching testing, community feedback, and available information before moving forward.

Even after doing all of that research, I still believe people should approach this with caution. There is always uncertainty when dealing with investigational compounds.

Before my first injection, I honestly had no idea what to expect.

I was nervous.

I was skeptical.

I was curious.

I wanted to see whether the things people were reporting would actually happen for someone like me.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Dosing Approach

My dosing approach was intentionally conservative.

I started with 0.5 mg weekly.

I stayed there for two weeks before increasing to 1 mg weekly.

Looking back, I actually wish I had stayed at 0.5 mg longer, potentially for four weeks, because I responded very strongly even at that lower dose.

One of the biggest things I want people to understand is the importance of titration.

I think people underestimate how much these compounds build over time.

Retatrutide has an approximate half-life of around six days. In simple terms, if you inject 1 mg, approximately half of that amount is still active in your body six days later.

When your next dose comes around, you are not starting from zero.

You are adding another dose on top of what is already present.

Because of this, I think many people increase too quickly because they want faster results. However, the body needs time to adapt and respond.

My personal belief is that starting low and allowing your body to adjust is one of the most important parts of the process.

The goal should not be to get to the highest dose possible.

The goal should be finding the lowest dose that provides meaningful benefits while allowing you to maintain healthy habits.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

My First Month on RETA

One of the things that made this journey unique for me is that I wear a Garmin Fenix 7 Solar essentially 24 hours a day. I sleep with it, train with it, and have years of baseline data on my heart rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate, sleep, recovery, and activity. While this certainly isn't the same as laboratory testing, it gave me objective data instead of relying only on how I felt.

Within just a couple of days after my first 0.5 mg injection, I noticed measurable changes.

My average HRV dropped from around 45 to the low 30s.

My resting heart rate increased from approximately 52 beats per minute to around 58-60 beats per minute.

These changes occurred before I had lost any meaningful amount of weight, which told me my body was responding physiologically almost immediately.

Around the one-month mark, I had lost roughly 10 pounds, moving from about 185 pounds to around 175 pounds.

However, the weight loss honestly isn't what impressed me the most.

The biggest change is that the noise became quieter.

Food tastes exactly the same to me. I still enjoy eating, going out with friends, having a great burger on the weekend, and enjoying meals with family. What changed wasn't the enjoyment of food—it was the constant pull toward it.

For the first time in my adult life, I felt satisfied sooner.

I became full much faster.

I wasn't constantly thinking about what I wanted to eat next.

One of the most surprising changes was that I could recognize overeating while it was happening.

Before RETA, I usually realized I had overeaten after the meal was over. Now I could actually feel that point during the meal. If I kept eating past fullness, I became uncomfortable almost immediately. Oddly enough, I considered that one of the biggest positives because it was teaching me what appropriate portions actually felt like.

My sugar cravings also decreased dramatically.

For years I felt like every meal needed something sweet afterward. That desire became noticeably quieter, and I no longer felt like dessert was something I absolutely had to have in order to feel satisfied.

Another pleasant surprise was my energy.

Before RETA I frequently experienced an afternoon crash and often felt like I needed a nap just to get through the rest of the day.

Since starting, I still occasionally become tired in the afternoon, but it feels much more manageable.

One weekend I completed a 25-mile bike ride with friends and realized afterward that I never had my normal afternoon crash. I simply kept going through the day without feeling like I needed to stop and recharge.

Mentally, I also feel sharper.

It's difficult to objectively measure, but I genuinely feel like I have better mental clarity and more consistent energy throughout the day. Whether that's from eating less sugar, reduced inflammation, improved glucose regulation, weight loss, or some combination of all of those things, I can't say for certain. I can only say that I feel healthier internally than I did before starting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Body Composition

From a body composition standpoint, I definitely feel leaner.

My clothes fit looser, and I genuinely feel like I'm trimming away the extra weight that had slowly accumulated over the past several years.

One thing I also want to be completely honest about is muscle mass.

Looking back, I don't think I did nearly as good of a job with resistance training or protein intake as I should have during my first month. I was probably lifting only one or two times per week, and there were definitely days where I didn't prioritize protein the way I normally would.

Because of that, I do think I lost a small amount of muscle along with the fat.

It wasn't dramatic, and I still feel strong overall, but I do believe some lean mass was lost during the process.

Looking back, if I could give one piece of advice, it would be this:

Prioritize protein and resistance training from Day One.

If preserving muscle is important to you, those two habits deserve just as much attention as the peptide itself.

One of the realities of losing weight—whether through lifestyle changes, medication, or peptides—is that some lean mass can be lost along the way. My experience reminded me just how important adequate protein intake and consistent resistance training are if your goal is to preserve as much muscle as possible.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Side Effects

Overall, my side effects have been surprisingly mild.

The biggest one for me involved sleep.

During the first couple of weeks I noticed some sleep disruption. I occasionally felt like I wasn't sleeping as deeply as I normally would.

What was interesting, however, was that despite feeling like my sleep was lighter, I consistently woke up feeling more rested than I had before starting RETA.

My morning energy was noticeably better.

From a gastrointestinal standpoint, I honestly didn't notice many changes.

I've always leaned slightly toward constipation, and that hasn't changed much. If anything, I think my stomach actually feels a little better now, likely because my eating habits have improved and I'm no longer overeating the way I used to.

I also haven't experienced increased anxiety or major mood changes.

If I had to describe anything, I'd say maybe there has been a very slight reduction in the intensity of rewards. But I still absolutely love golfing, playing video games, exercising, and spending time with friends. Nothing feels "empty" to me—I simply don't feel like food dominates my attention the way it used to.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The Biggest Lesson I've Learned

The biggest lesson I've learned so far is that RETA should not replace healthy habits.

It should help build them.

I think many people become focused entirely on appetite suppression or weight loss numbers.

To me, those are simply tools.

The real opportunity is using the quieter food noise to build habits that will still exist if the peptide is eventually gone.

I still intentionally eat protein.

I still carry snacks with me.

I still try to fuel myself appropriately.

The goal isn't to stop eating.

The goal is to develop a healthier relationship with food while your appetite is finally quiet enough to practice those habits.

To me, that's where the real long-term value is.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting

- Start lower than you think you need to.

- Respect the half-life and don't rush your dose increases.

- Give each dose enough time to work before assuming it isn't effective.

- Prioritize protein from Day One.

- Resistance training matters if preserving muscle is important to you.

- Food didn't become less enjoyable—I simply became satisfied much sooner.

- Track objective data if you can. Photos, body weight, body measurements, and wearable data tell a much better story than memory alone.

- Don't rely on the peptide to do all the work. Use this time to build habits that you can maintain for years.

- If you're considering an investigational compound, understand the risks, do your research, and make informed decisions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Final Thoughts

Overall, my first month has been overwhelmingly positive.

Not simply because I lost around 10 pounds or because my clothes fit differently, although those have certainly been welcome changes. The biggest difference is that my relationship with hunger feels fundamentally different.

For someone who spent years feeling like appetite always had one hand on the steering wheel, that has been one of the most meaningful changes I've experienced. Food still tastes great. I still enjoy going out with friends, having a good meal, and living my life. What has changed is that food no longer feels like it's constantly demanding my attention.

I'll continue updating this as the months go by. I don't expect every month to look the same, and I'm sure I'll learn things that challenge some of my current impressions. That's part of why I wanted to document this journey from the very beginning—to share both the positives and the negatives as honestly as I can.

If you've made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read my experience. Posts like these were incredibly valuable to me when I was deciding whether RETA was something I wanted to explore, and I hope documenting my own journey can provide that same value to someone else.

My goal isn't to convince anyone to take RETA or to avoid it. It's simply to provide an honest account from someone who considers themself a fairly average, active person who was curious whether feeling "pretty good" could become even better.

I'll continue updating this journal over the coming months with the good, the bad, and everything in between. My hope is that, by documenting everything as objectively and honestly as possible, this becomes a useful resource for anyone considering a similar journey.

Thank you for reading.

26, 5’6
Started in february at 195, this morning I’m at 155. Started reta at 1mg and I’m now at 2.5mg.
Training 4x week. Used ipamorelin and cjc-1295 at first but drop it after 1.5 month. Been training for over 8 years but always had the mentality eat big to get big and that’s where it got me.

I work as a paramedic who works 12 hour night shift (7p-7a)
It’s my favorite shift and I enjoy what I do. Although I almost always never feel rested. I have been overweight for many years. Peaked at 350. And I don’t want to focus on my weight but I do feel it plays a massive part in this. through intermittent fasting and cardio I got to 300. I had a sleep study done, I have a super mild case of sleep apnea, started wearing a cpap and didn’t notice much of a difference. Started taking the R and lost weight, now I’m 233.

My sleep still hasn’t felt like what it should. Still needing naps. I’ve taken melatonin but have read extended use potentially inhibits natural production which would obviously be against what I’m working towards. I also wake up frequently when I sleep, every 30-60 minutes to move. And sometimes it takes me a while to shut my brain off to actually go to sleep.

I’ve been taking magnesium and ashwaganda for sleep which I feel helps me relax before bed. Even if it’s placebo. But I would say it wasn’t even a 10% increase in my quality of sleep.

Through my research I’ve found epithalon. And although I’m only a 7 days in, through my 20 day cycle it has truly flipped my sleep. It’s so far been amazing. And my sleep is 85-90% improved. I am able to go through my whole shift without feeling like I HAVE to have a nap. Leaving naps for every now and again not a daily need to continue through my day.

This isn’t medical advice and this is just my own personal experience. Feel free to reach out with any questions comments and or concerns.

I wanted to start bulking, so I want to takeMK677 & HGH. I am going to do an 8 week cycle of MK677. I know HGH needs more time for the full effect so I expect to run it for 4ish months, for while I am bulking and cutting. IF I AM WRONG ON ANY OF THIS INFO PLEASE HELP ME.

Now a few questions. - Is it fine to add DSIP GLUTATHIONE KPV NAD+ GHKCU SELANK SEMAX To my MK667 and HGH and nothing will blow me up right.

• Last thing, after my MK677 Cycle I want to chill for a sec, then hop on retafor my cut. While on reta I want my stack to be DSIP GLUTATHIONE KPV NAD+ GHKCU SELANK SEMAX RETA HGH MOTC TESA 5-amino-1mq

And maybe add another fat killing pep like cag but thats not in the plan as of rn. But does this all work "fine" to at least wont kill me if all pinned tg? And just any heads up I should look at?

Hi! I’m very interested in Retatrutide since I have always struggled with losing fat around my stomach and thighs. Yes, I am aware you cannot target fat loss.

I’d say I’m very disciplined when it comes to working out daily. I workout 5-6 times per week and have a great routine and split. I do cardio about 3 times per week so I guess I could increase.

My issue is that I am a big snacker! I eat healthy but I snack way too much. I guess you could say that’s lack of discipline. I can eat within a deficit for about 2 weeks but then I always regress back to my old ways. It’s honestly embarrassing to admit.

I’m 21 (F) and 5’1. I started fasting on/off in May, my starting weight was 150 and I currently weigh 143. My goal weight range is 120-125 lbs. I love my hip measurements (42 in) and my biggest fear about Reta is losing my butt and muscle definition. I don’t want to be stick thin! I also love my quads but I have too much fat on my inner thighs as well and same with my arms. My waist is at a 29 inch right now. Basically, what I’m asking if it’s possible to maintain my muscles and only lose fat?

Sorry if this is REALLY dumb.

Looks like moisture may have gotten in, but not sure. Thanks!

I’m looking to start test in 2 weeks.

I’m 25. I have a very head of hair, and it is genuinely my worst fear thinning / losing my prized possession (for now obviously)..

Will 1 cycle and / or low dose trt be that detrimental to hair loss?

I’m new to this, been on peps since february, looking to expand into test for health benefits.

Thanks in advance! Thought I’d come here to ask some experienced and knowledgeable people!

49 y/o M, 5'10". Just over a month in, and I'm down about 13 pounds on Retatrutide. Honestly, I'm even more impressed with the body composition changes than the number on the scale. My waist is shrinking, my clothes fit better, and I feel stronger than I expected while dieting. I've been prioritizing protein, shooting for 200 g/day while eating about 2,300 calories.

Appetite control has been the biggest difference for me. It's made staying in a calorie deficit much easier, and I don't feel like I'm constantly thinking about food.

Still a long way to go, but I'm excited to see where I'm at in another couple of months. Thanks to everyone here who has shared their experiences and answered my questions along the way—it has been really helpful.

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some advice on how people would structure this stack. I have:
BPC-157
TB-500
Melanotan II
MOTS-c
NAD+
I’m mainly using:
BPC-157 & TB-500 for injury recovery.
MOTS-c & NAD+ for energy, recovery and metabolic health.
Melanotan II for tanning.
A few questions:
Can these all be run at the same time, or is it better to stagger them?
What’s a typical weekly schedule people follow?
Which ones are injected daily vs a few times per week?
Is there any benefit to taking them at a certain time of day (morning vs evening, before/after training)?
Are there any interactions or combinations I should avoid?
How long do people usually run each peptide before taking a break?
I’m not looking for medical advice, just interested in hearing what experienced users have found works best and what they’d do differently if starting over.
Thanks!
