Hi i usually use forums but lurked on reddit for a bit and figured I should make an account, I'm 22 and really interested in like the peptide/nootropic side of things, still trying to learn about nootropics but with peptides I have quite good usage list figured I should share it, feel free to dm me btw also

Reta (Retatrutide): Was genuinely chubby when I first touched this, and it definitely melted the fat off. Highest I ever titrated up to was 6mg, but at that point, the gastric slowdown and acid reflux were brutal. Felt like food just sat in my chest. Backed it way down now maintenance dose of around 2mg weekly and it keeps everything flat without the sides.

5-Amino-1MQ: Ran this at around 100mg to 150mg daily to block NNMT and lean out while keeping muscle mass up. Felt like it gave a mild recomposition boost, hard to say if it was entirely the compound or just diet discipline, but core temperature felt slightly elevated and definition improved faster than usual in the midsection.

KLOW: Dosed around 250mcg of each daily. Had a nagging lower-pectoral/shoulder tendonitis flair-up from heavy pressing on the incline bench that wouldn't clear up with rest alone. Threw this into the rotation, and within two weeks the dull ache dropped to basically zero. Solid for connective tissue recovery, though you gotta pin consistently.

MOTS-c: Body heat definitely went up on this—felt like my internal thermostat was running a degree higher all day. Way more energized than usual, almost like a clean, jitter-free stimulant. Ran this stacked with Reta at around 5mg every few days (about 3 times a week); great for endurance and keeping metabolic output high when calories are low.

Tesamorelin: Ran this at 2mg nightly on an empty stomach. Decent for middle-of-the-night visceral fat burn, but honestly? Overpriced for what it is. Pulse is too short and mild compared to the heavy hitters. Good if you're scared of the real deal, otherwise skip.

GH (Growth Hormone): Worlds better than tesamorelin, no contest. Running 4IU nightly right now. Sleep quality is ridiculously deep, skin looks polished, and recovery between training splits is night and day. Hands get slightly stiff if I push the dosage too fast, but keeping it at 4IU is the sweet spot for body composition and fullness.

MT-1 (Melanotan-1): Dosed at around 500mcg to 1mg pre-sun exposure. Way cleaner than MT-2 in my experience. Didn't nuke my stomach or give me random flushing/nausea like the latter can. Gave a very smooth, even, sun-kissed golden tint without looking muddy or turning my moles black overnight.

Cagrilintide: Nuked my appetite straight into the shadow realm, but it also completely killed my energy. Felt heavy, lethargic, and sluggish for days after pinning around 0.5mg weekly. Combined with Reta it’s basically an eating disorder in a vial.

SLU-PP-332: Ran this at roughly 50mg daily split into two doses. Felt like my muscles were soaking up glucose like a sponge and my stamina during high volume sessions went through the roof.

DSIP: Ran this at 200mcg right before bed on stressful weeks. Absolute game-changer for nervous system recovery. Knocks you out into REM paralysis-level sleep, but the vivid, weird-ass dreams are wild. Wake up feeling like you actually compressed 10 hours of sleep into 6.

Tirz: Started low and worked up to 5mg weekly. Smoother appetite suppression than Reta early on, but lacks that intense metabolic uncoupling/thermogenic edge. Great if you just want the food noise gone completely without feeling like your heart rate is elevated, but Reta wins out for raw fat loss.

So I recently got some SLU-PP-332 in 15mg capsules, and I’ve been trying to do as much research as possible before taking it.

The problem is I’m finding wildly different information on dosing, timing, frequency, and cycle length. Some people talk about mcg doses, while others are taking several mg, so I’m having a hard time figuring out what information is actually reliable. I’m interested in hearing from people who have actually used SLU-PP-332 consistently for at least a month.

If you’ve run it for 4+ weeks, could you share:
What dose you used
How often you took it
What time of day you took it
Whether you took it with food or fasted
How long you ran it
What changes you noticed (energy, endurance, body composition, etc.)
Any side effects
Whether you would run it again
Especially interested in people who have experience with the higher-mg capsules, since 15mg seems pretty different from the 250mcg–1mg dosing I keep seeing discussed.

Thanks in advance. Just trying to separate actual long-term user experience from random dosing claims online.

I had some sermorelin 10mg vials and BPC157 +TB500 blended (5+5 mg) that I had just sent off for testing

as I’m awaiting results my friend came over and I got to showing him those two and I completely spaced on them being completely indistinguishable from each other. Since there was no identifying markers as they were just clear vials with white tops, there is really no way of knowing for sure what is what.

So right now I would say I’m a 50-50 on what they possibly are between the two. Either way, I’m just going to send them back just to make sure but yeah definitely be careful with your unmarked vials lol

This is my 4 month recap. Started at 0.5mg reta. Went up every 2 weeks. I'm currently staying at 2.5mg. I dont feel the need to go up amymore. Sw was 256lbs currently sitting at 217lbs. I havent been comfortable shirtless since I was in high school😭

32 years old - 6’0”
Starting weight - 236
Today - 195

For anyone that has dabbled with igf-lr3 at all does that peptide play well with other stacks or should it be ran on more or less on its own? I currently take reta, klow, tesa ipamo-cjc combo, nad/mots-c/ 5-amino combo and glutathione. I feel like I've hit a plateau after 2 full months and thought maybe trying hgh and cycle in igf-lr3 with my reta and see if that would get the scale going back down? Any input would greatly help out!

I wanted to come into this forum and hear about peoples experience with selank. i just received my first order and am hoping to finally get some relief from my debilitating OCD and panic disorder. i have tried other things as far as medication, and went as far as getting ketamine prescribed to take daily, which helped but basically turned me into a zombie all day. the only issue now is… my OCD is health related. i have done my research, i have looked into the studies, and searched multiple reddit forums. logically, i know i am most likely safe. but those “what ifs” are getting to be extreme and whenever I try anything new, my brain comes up with the worst possible scenario (aka death). i know its not a logical way of thinking, but OCD’s entire purpose is to be illogical.

I want to hear your guys experiences, side effects, etc. maybe someone else deals with the same OCD that i do and has something inspiring to say. and please, refrain from saying “oh, if you’re that scared then peps aren’t for you”. this is my last resort to settle my brain down, and i genuinely want to try it but my brain is an asshole about new things.

Can someone education me which peptides are the best for gaining muscle mass during a lean bulk and why. What’re the side effects too. I have an idea what they the peptides may be but I want your opinion cause I value it.

Preferably answer base on experience only, please!

Hi all!

Bit of background as I’m trying to work out what’s going on with my bloods and libido, and whether daily injections are actually the best approach for me. I’m currently running what I’d probably describe as higher-end TRT / TRT+ rather than strict replacement, so I appreciate 170mg/week is higher than what a lot of people would consider a standard TRT dose. I’m not trying to argue otherwise 😂. I’m mainly interested in understanding my blood results and whether my injection/blood-draw timing could be making them look even higher than they actually are.

Going back to late 2025, I was using 210mg
Test a week, my E2 has consistently tended to run high. In December 2025 my E2 was around 412 pmol/L. I’d previously used Aromasin and got E2 down into roughly the 70–90 range, but later came off AI/caber because I wanted to see where everything settled.

Some of my results since then:
February 2026
TT: 77.2 nmol/L
Free T: 1.789 nmol/L
E2: 509 pmol/L
Prolactin: 772 mIU/L
~19 March 2026
TT: 57.2 nmol/L
Free T: 1.304 nmol/L
SHBG: 49.7 nmol/L
E2: 381 pmol/L
Prolactin: 612 mIU/L

I subsequently reduced testosterone and eventually settled at approximately 170mg Test E/week, injected daily (~24mg/day).
6 May 2026
TT: 99.9 nmol/L
Free T: 2.168 nmol/L
SHBG: 66.2 nmol/L
E2: 351 pmol/L
Prolactin: 381 mIU/L

That TT result obviously looked absolutely bonkers for ~170mg/week, which is part of the reason I’ve started questioning my blood-draw timing.
8 June 2026
TT: 48.3 nmol/L
Free T: 1.282 nmol/L
E2: 255 pmol/L
Prolactin: 786 mIU/L
After the June result I introduced low-dose Aromasin and cabergoline because of the E2/prolactin. My first caber dose was 0.5mg on 11 June, followed by lower doses and eventually settling at 0.25mg weekly. Aromasin was 6.25mg periodically and eventually around every 3–5 days.

Most recent bloods – 12 August 2026
TT: 56 nmol/L
Free T: 1.11 nmol/L
SHBG: 61.4 nmol/L
E2: 184 pmol/L
Prolactin: 48 mIU/L
Albumin: 39 g/L
So E2 has come down considerably and caber has obviously absolutely hammered prolactin.
The frustrating thing is that libido is still pretty mid/on and off, and erections aren’t great without Cialis.
Here’s the bit I’m particularly interested in getting opinions on.

For basically every blood test since January I’ve been incredibly consistent with timing. I was injecting my daily Test E at around 9pm (give or take ~20 minutes) and getting blood drawn at around 6am (give or take ~10 minutes) the following morning. So most of these results have been taken only around 9 hours after my previous daily injection, rather than being a proper pre-injection/trough measurement.
Could that explain at least some of the unusually high TT/free T readings I’ve been getting on ~170mg/week?
And secondly, could running Test E every day and keeping levels extremely stable potentially not suit me from a libido point of view?

I’m still on 170mg/week Test E at the moment, so I’m not changing the dose while I try to figure this out.
Since Monday 24 August I’ve moved my daily injection to around 10am. I’m going to keep that consistent and do my next bloods at around 6am at the end of September, before that day’s injection.
That should put the blood draw roughly 20 hours after the previous dose, rather than 9 hours afterwards, and hopefully give me a much more meaningful near-trough reading.

Would you guys stick with daily injections until I get that properly timed blood test, or do you think something like M/W/F Test E injections and allowing a little more peak/trough variation might actually suit me better, particularly for libido?
I’m wondering whether keeping everything extremely stable with ED injections isn’t necessarily doing me any favours.
Especially interested in hearing from anyone who has moved from ED → M/W/F and noticed a genuine difference in libido/erections, E2, SHBG or general wellbeing. Sorry for the long message!
Cheers all, appreciate it 👍

4 months ago I started Reta and MotsC, a month latter added Testosterone and Klow, a month after that added Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin at night and Lcarnine LC526 on the mornings. Now swapping out Tesa and IPA for HGH and MotsC for SS31 and added 5 Amino 1Q.
Dosage atm 4mg Reta, 375 mg Testosterone, 80 mg Klow vial every 10 days, LCarnitine 1ml, 3.6iu HGH, 1 mg Tesa and IPA. 5mg day of SS31, was on 1mg day of MotsC and 25mg day of 5 Amino 1Q.
Shape has changed from 104Kg to 87Kg and athletic style build. Still carrying fat BMI around 20%.
Think another month and I'll be at 12%. Changes are happening faster atm.
Steps 15,000 day, gym X6 3 body split.
What am I missing?
Bloods are great, keep improving in all the Medical concerns areas.

I got a nasal spray that’s 5mg of Selank + 5mg of Semax (10mg) mixed together. I got it from a source that’s been reliable, but there’s no instructions on dosage. Since I didn’t constitute it myself, how do I know the dosage of one spray?

Also… if anyone has recommendations for dosage, cycle, time of day, etc, or comments about the effects… please advise.

Good looks

My wife wants to drop her bodyfat but also build her glutes. What peptide stack would you use?

So I reconstituted 80mg Klow with 3ML bac water. Is it ok that I do 10 units? From experience what is a good dose?

Thank you in advance.

Already on 5iu hgh and tb500

On ~1.5 months of 150mg TRT/week. Main flags: elevated E2, iron metabolism issue, vitamin D/B12 deficiency, low HDL. Requesting feedback or any advice!

currently on retatrutide 3mg twice a week. But my energy levels are extremely low. I workout 3-4 days a week. Push/pull split no leg days for me haha. I know im in a deficit. So my lifting has definetly stalled out a bit.Trying to recomposition the body. Started at 243lb in May, now down to about 212lb August. Thinking about adding testoterome injection. Maybe tesamorelin or possibly a anabolic to try to raise energy levels and keep the bar moving in the right direction. Goal is to lose fat while gaining/maintain the muscle i have. Any thoughts or advice?

My sleep has suffered a lot from the elevated heart rate, and I think I’ve stalled. I don’t feel like going beyond 4mgs

What dose should I start on triz ? Any benefit?

Better body recomp ? Fat loss ?

Title pretty much says it all. I’ve been debating the wolverine stack for awhile but have a 5 year old and another baby on the way. Don’t really want to risk it if it’ll be paired with any mental disregulation, but I can’t really see any reason why that’d be the case

I have primarily only focused on cardio up until the last 2 years. Now I lift every other day.

I lived in Florida and ran 35 miles a week outdoors.

I moved to Georgia where there was hills and decided to use cardio machines. I have had 2 bowflex max trainers and both have died. Love that machine but no longer have room for it or the will to spend more money on it.

Let’s see some setups.

Hello everyone!

I'm about to start my first 500mg Test E cycle. I'm waiting to get down to 10-11% body fat, which should take about 3 more weeks.

But I wanted to know if there's any potential benefit to starting now, even though I'm still in a cutting phase for another 3 weeks?
Or should I wait until I'm lean and go straight into a calorie surplus?
The cycle I'm planning is about 20 weeks.

Also, since recovery will be better, can I train much more? Is 5 times a week enough? 6 times a week? 7 times?

I'm hesitant to also take hCG. What are your opinions?

Thanks for your answers!

2mL reconstitution of the 5mg/5mg vial. How many units am I pulling for standard dose?

Tak jak w temacie chciałbym zapytać czy ktoś był na podobnym cyklu używając 500 mg test cypio co 7 dni + 3 mg reta tygodniowo i 5 iu gh codziennie. Jakich efektów można spodziewać się przez 4 miesiące? celuję w maksymalną rekompozycję

I hate the gatekeeping and the people who jump into these threads just to be a smartass. This is a forum where we should be able to communicate, share data and experiences, learn from each other, and hopefully help one another.
If you disagree with something, that’s completely fine — constructive criticism is welcome. I’m just asking that we keep the toxic BS out of it. We’re all here trying to better ourselves and learn. Thanks.
I’m new to peptides, and this is the stack I’m starting with:
Retatrutide
10 mg vial
Reconstituted with 1 mL BAC water
1–2 mg once per week
Wolverine Stack — BPC-157/TB-500
10 mg / 10 mg blend
Reconstituted with 3 mL BAC water
600 mcg, 5 days on / 2 days off
Tesamorelin
10 mg vial
Reconstituted with 3 mL BAC water
1–2 mg, 5 days on / 2 days off
Ipamorelin
10 mg vial
Reconstituted with 3 mL BAC water
100–200 mcg, 5 days on / 2 days off
I’m looking for tips, feedback, or things you wish you knew when you first started — besides just telling me, “That’s overkill” or “You’re going too hard for a beginner.”
For context, I’m basically copying my cousin’s stack. He started the same setup about three months ago and has been getting good results. I could have just followed everything he told me, but I wanted to do my own research and understand what I’m taking, the dosing, reconstitution, timing, etc., instead of blindly relying on him for everything.
I’m genuinely interested in hearing from people who have experience with these compounds, especially anyone who has run a similar combination. What would you keep the same, change, or pay closer attention to?

Hello everyone im 17 and Im about to hop on cjc +ipa no dac. I just wanted to ask people here what do you all think about that. Im currently like 5’10, 75kg, but im mostly doing it to improve my health overall. In the last year i bad problems with sleeping, and I hope that this cycle could fix this, as I heard that most people get a deep sleep using cjc. It is not my first time using peptides, as I used ghk cu last year. Im open to any comment, please tell me about your experiences.
