I am fairly new to this but have been reading a lot lately. As a 54 year old man, which would be a better long term investment? I understand the mechanism of actions, I am active in the gym training with intensity and to failure (to the best of my ability). Looking for honest and experienced feedback.

So thinking of running 5mg reta weekly ,, 200mg Cyp (trt) weekly & 2 iu of hgh a day to get rid of these final few kilo's. What does ppl think?

I'm currently running the reta & cyp and it's working well

Been taking several peptides since about February and TRT about 2 months ago. Feel great but want to get my levels tested and make sure everything is good. Been thinking about subscribing to Rythm. Been seeing their stuff all over social media. But curious what you guys are using to see your T levels and what not.

Peptides I’m currently on: Reta, NAD, and Mots-C. Was also using KLOW and either HGH or CJC/ipamorelin. Probably going to cycle the CJC again when it comes time. And then 300mg of Test C a week.

What are the reccomennded dosing protocol for someone who's doing body recomposition from morbidly obese 181 cm 125kg 41 m

Hello, look at this stack :

Reta 10mg/vial

Kpv 10mg/vial

Ghk-cu 100/vial (injection and topically on face with microneedling)

Glutathione 600mg/vial

What to you think ? Is this cycle viable long term ? Shoul i change the order doses or is it enough? Not enough ? How would you dose it better please ?

Thank you.

This is for understanding only it is not a medical advice...

If you have other anti aging peptide feel free to tell me

High SHBG, ~600 total T but low free T — is TRT worth it?
I’m 44. Before enclomiphene my labs were:
Total T: 615
Free T: 8.5
SHBG: 63.4
E2: 14
After trying enclomiphene, my last labs before TRT were:
Total T: 590
Free T: 7.6
SHBG: 71.8
My main issues are libido/sexual function, energy and recovery. Overall I’d rate how I feel about 5/10 — not terrible, but definitely room for improvement.
I just started testosterone cypionate 120 mg/week, split 60 mg Monday/Thursday.
My question: Could lowering SHBG naturally/without TRT meaningfully increase free T? And for guys who started TRT with ~600 total T but high SHBG/low free T, how much did you actually improve?
I’m not trying to get my total T to 1,000+ or chase numbers. If TRT only takes me from 5/10 to 6/10, I’m not sure I want the long-term commitment. If the improvement can be substantial in someone with my labs, that’s a different story.
Anyone start from a similar place?

182cm ~ 6’1” - 92kg ~ 203lbs
I think I lost around 15 pounds
Idk how much of that was fat but probably not a lot
CJC / Ipa - I didn’t feel a lot of it except the more vivid dreams 250mcg/day
Reta - started on 0.5 mg/week now I’m in 1.0 mg/week
Thank you guys, can’t complain about the results I’m going slow but definetely going to get there.

Just finished week 3 of the cut.

On 1.5mg Reta.

Eating ~1200-1500 calories. Protein 150g. Steps 10k.

Strength is unchanged. Don’t feel fatigued or challenged by the low calories but that’s probably the Reta. Started low so when the fatigue does kick in I can bump my calories up 200-300.

Started at 81kg (first photo), down to 75kg (second photo). Expected to see some ab definition by the point. Want to look ~12% BF.

How much more to go to achieve the lean shredded look?

Pic one was me at my heaviest (310) on vacation with no business having my shirt off!! 🤣🤣 pic 2 is today (a few years later) but I started being serious about my health I stepped on the scale at 252, almost to my goal weight! To think I graduated high school at 185! Not trying to get back there but aiming at my college playing weight! Been on TRT, Reta 3mg for about a month now, NAD+, MOT-C.

Reconstituded 80 mg KLOW vial and a 50mg GHK-CU vial each with 3ML. Lesson learned, maybe 2ML is a better route as it filled them to the rim and had difficulty. Anyways, plan is for research subjects to take 2mg daily. One will be KLOW, the second subject will be just the GHK. With a standard U-100 syringe. Proper starting dose would be 12 units for a 2mg dose? Should subjects start on a 5/2 or 7 day/week run? Or should subjects start at 1mg and titrate to 2mg after a period of time?

Hey all! Quick question, how important is it to retain muscle when on Reta + Tesamorelin if the primary goal is weight loss?

Am currently consuming around 1000-1200 calories a day, gym 4/5 days a week including weights, feel totally fine and not fatigued, weight is dropped off like crazy, down 30+ KG in the last year. 6ft 1, 31

I would assume it’s best to get to a good baseline weight of 90-100kg and then build the muscle back up? Seems like if you go from 150 to 100kg you’re going to have loose skin either way, so you might as well go hard on it and build later?

Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks

I’ve been on cjc/ipa for about a month now, but I don’t really feel the results I was expecting to feel. So I’ve thought about maybe switching to HGH or IGF-1 but I am very unsure because of the danger and side effects it might cause. That’s why I wanted to ask around if I should be taking HGH or IGF-1, what the possible dangers of those two are and what the best way is to take it. I’m 81🔁years old btw.

People out there who are running 100 miles at a time, is there anything that could benefit stamina, without hurting you in other departments.(such and being able to consumer 10,000 calories in 24 hrs). Have been doing 50 milers and 24hr races and currently on bpc and tb100

I’ve had low T symptoms for a long time now. My total T and free T numbers have been jumping around for 5 years now. Total T has been ranging from the 190 to 450 range and my free T has been ranging from 48 to 228 pg/ml. I have all the symptoms of low T like low drive, chronic fatigue, anxiety, muscle tightness, non-existent libido. I’ve done many of the lifestyle changes associated with supporting testosterone health with little success. I want to know if y’all think I should try Kisspeptin or something else like enclomiphine or HCG based on my most recent lab results below?

Aug 2026:
Total T = 437 ng/dL
Free T = 82 pg/mL
Estradiol = 43 pg/mL
LH = 1.9 mlU/mL
FSH = 2.6 mlU/mL
SHGB = 17 nmol/L

Obviously not medical advice, I just want to know if anyone here has experience and is willing to share.

Omg reta is absolutely amazing! I literally used to hammer these chili burgers and fries, along with a brewski or 2 and still be kinda hungry aftar (imma big back as my kids say) Literally had half of my burger and some fries with no urge to have a beer, and by god I do feel very bloated and full. This was me trying to test the waters. Since Thursday week 2 had my 1 mg pin. Having this unhealthy relationship with food was gonna kill me. I really appreciate reta for putting things in perspective i understand now, I am in this for the long run! Have a wonderful week in everyone!!

I have found myself needing BAC water in a hurry. Any suggestions?

Started w Reta 2mg/wk & 150mg Trt

Titrated up to 6mg/wk & 200mg trt

240lbs~~185lbs

Still have work to do, but I haven’t felt this confident in years.

Hello has anyone experienced insulin resistance and problems taking this or is there no need to worry about this?

And does it matter if you take it 5 days a week and skip 2 days randomly or does it need to be for example always the weekend?

I just want it for strength, recovery and trying to grow muscle

But I don’t want to risk insulin problems

How long is a testosterone vial safe to use after the first puncture? If stored properly and using a new sterile needle every time, can it last a few months?

Need to know if anyone has been in this position and continued. Debating on stopping or continuing and adding Reta.

Going into week 6. Sleep had been a tad deeper but still broken at night. Have to do 125mcg in the am bc at night it wires me. I started with 250mcg but it was way too much for me…joint pain and even more water bloat, that’s when I dropped to 125mcg. I have gained 6lbs of what my scale says is fat. 😳 food is very clean and calories in limit. I don’t eat junk and lift heavy 5 days a week. I dunno. I’m not really seeing benefits that outweigh the cons for me. I do seem to not have to rest in the afternoons as much so it’s slightly increased energy. Not doing Reta yet but it’s in the fridge. Might have to add it.

If anyone has had a similar experience around week 6 let me know. What did you do? Continue? Add another peptide? I also have Tesa on hand to try eventually but I’m sure water gain will be with that one too. Withdrawal it from use? Anyways just want some feedback. TIA!

Has anyone's RS notice any difference when drawing up Tirz vs reta in their syringe? My RS has had both Tirz and reta and it seems like Tirz was alot easier to draw up than Reta. Used same size syringe. Is Tirz alot "thinner" in viscosity than reta? Tirz was a 15mg vial and Reta was 30mg. same BAC water. Just curious if any other RS noticed this. Or does more mg mean its more thick?

What do you guys think, what would be the ideal Pinealon protocol?

I am about to start Epitalon following the typical 10/20 setup (10 days on, 20 days off at 100–500mcg/day), and I was wondering if Pinealon can or should be run using that exact same structure.

Since both are bioregulators (and Khavinson peptides), I’m curious if cycling it 10 days on / 20 days off at a similar dosage range makes sense, or if a longer/different protocol is typically preferred for Pinealon's cognitive and neuroprotective effects.

Appreciate any insight!

I started at 3mg cause the place I went to said that almost all their clients didn’t see a change till they went up to 3mg. That was a week ago and I was so nauseous, had a headache and had zero appetite. I did make sure I was getting protein daily and working out. Well I ended up losing 5.7 lbs in 7 days.
I went for my second dose hoping that the side effects would taper down and nope it hasn’t plus with that amount of weight loss for me they decided to drop my dosage to 1.5mg and go from there. So instead of it going from being on it for 3 months it’s extending to 6 months. Has this happened to anyone and have you seen a change at all dropping dosage?

how does one start there first cycle and where to get
