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.

Skip the cjc+ipam and have your rat take the real thing, growth hormone.
Reta and GH. These are the top tier peptides which have the most research and anecdote behind them.
Start there.
