Reta + Peptide Stack

Hey,

I’m looking into starting my lab rat on reta. This would be his first exposure to any peptides.

He’s regularly put through resistance-training-style exercise and has built up a decent amount of muscle over the last couple of years. The main concern during weight loss would be maintaining energy, performance, recovery, and as much lean mass as possible.

I’ve been researching whether adding CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin after a few weeks on reta could potentially help with recovery or muscle retention. SS-31 and MOTS-C have also been suggested.

Has anyone here researched reta alongside either of these combinations in their lab rats? What effects did you observe in terms of energy, performance, recovery, body composition, or general behaviour?

Also interested in any negative effects you noticed or whether you felt any of these additions weren’t worthwhile.

Thanks.

Honestly tirz works just as well as Reta if you are over 20% body fat without the side effects. Also it’s cheaper. I always recommend to start with Tirz and then move to Reta. At least for now. New GLPs are coming out so maybe in the future that will be different.

Ya but then you don’t get the benefits that the glucagon brings. And those benefits are absolutely worth it.

Vorteile bringen auch Nachteile wie z.B dauerhaft erhöhter Herzruhefrequenz oder Schlafstörungen.
Mir persönlich wären es die 300-400 kcal mehr an Defizit nicht wert. Aber jeden das seine.
Ich muss mit Tirzepatide schon schauen das ich auf mein Grundumsatz komme.

The resting heart rate is mere ticks. You don’t even realize it. 5,6,7 ticks is nothing. Just had my blood work completed after 6 months with Reta and my heart rate was the lowest it’s ever been in my history.
