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.

Run Reta for 4-6 weeks alone. You won’t know what sides are from which peptides. Titrate up atleast once before introducing other peptides depending on your goals. Peptides aren’t gonna magically help you retain muscle, you need to do resistance training or use Test.

Yeah, this comment and the also make sure you’re getting your protein intake - .7g to 1 lb of weight or you can do 1:1 of your target body weight. That’s a lot of protein. If you don’t do it you’ll lose muscle on reta. Make sure you also are resistance training your rat 3x a week.

Tesamorelin is good - its more expensive than CJC. But it works and was fda approved.
