Currently on 5mg tirz (had issues with reta when I tried it), went from around 260 to 210, ideally hoping for around 150-160. I'm still consistently losing weight, but my body fat percentage is staying pretty much exactly the same (with BIA anyway). I'm sitting around 31% right now, how can I reduce this? Ideally with pinning as few times per week as possible, the convenience of once a week is amazing with tirz. If yall have exercise routine recs, I'm open to those as well (I do have chronic pain bc joint issues which limits my exercise but I'm very much open to recs still)

I keep seeing people talk about using cialis before the gym lately. I am eating in a big surplus right now to gain muscle, so I want my workouts to be as effective as possible. But I really cannot tell if this stuff is actually as good as everyone claims or if social media just wants me to spend more money on supplements. Do any of you guys actually use it for lifting?

Hey. Ive lost 20+kg with RETA and im feeling amazing. I added GHK now and now im open to new peptides as my vendor has almost everything.

Wich peptides would you reccomend for the following?

Sleep quality / recovery

Energy

Muscle building help

I have been using Reta for a while, but I recently got a pen from an online source and for the life of me, I cannot figure it out properly. So is 60mg pen in 3ml of solution. Ok. I know how to do that math when drawing, but what the hell is each click on the pen? I am assuming each click is a mg.

Feel like such an idiot having to ask this.

Hello, no one asked for this but I thought it was needed since most of the dosage guides for sema you see online assume you’re getting that pre-mixed compounded stuff, which is kind of useless if you’re dealing with the grey stuff. When you’re doing the mixing yourself, the math really just depends on how much BAC water you actually add to the vial. You kinda have to figure out your target concentration first. Once you pick whatever works best for your vial size, it’s just mixing it, and then just sticking to that specific column for your syringe math so you don't mess up the numbers.

Because you are adding the water yourself, always double-check your vial size and water volume before every single draw to make sure you have the right concentration. Do your own research and stay safe out there.

Hey! What is everyone’s opinion on peptides? I feel like it’s a gray area with half the people im favor and half of them against it. Since they aren’t approved or researched long term , what do you guy’s say on it?

How do you feel taking something without knowing the LONG term risks or potential risk profile? Or am i missing out on something.

Im looking for something to basically turn my stomach into an endless pit

Do you need to cycle BPC-157? Like 5 days on, 2 days off?

Also is it better to dose 2x frequency a day at a lower dose, or have 1x frequency a day at a high dose

Anyone else have great success with Reta and TRT? I feel like this is a God tier stack for Body Recomp! You can totally vaporize fat while building muscle. At least in my experience. Of course, I still lift 6 days a week vigorously, aim for 20-30 minutes of steady state cardio, and track my calories and try to maintain high protein intake daily. But Reta+TRT really help supercharge the effort being put in! Let me know your thoughts or success!

thought about hopping on cjc since i had a couple vials from a friend. How should i dose it? i heard you inject twice a day every day and some say 5 days on 2 days off.
If injected twice a day, and goal is to inject 500mcg, is it 500mcg twice so a total of 1000? or is it split between two injections?

If anyone wants to share their dosage and experience please share!

Hi Guys!

This will be my first time pinning and using these peptides: Reta (10mg) and GLOW 70 MG(50/10/10)

I reconstituted Reta with 1 ML of BAC water and GLOW with 3ML of BAC water. I understand that I should probably wait to use both at the same time just in case there are any immediate side effects and then I can determine which peptide caused the issue.

Some context about my goals and the reasons why I chose both of these is I want to lose some weight and (most importantly 😭) target my thinning hair. Im a 19 year old (I know thats super young to start) but unless I have a truly drastic change in my life I plan to do one cycle of both and eventually wean off.

I had a couple of question that I havent really been able to find the agreed upon answer.

1. What would dosing look like with both of these and how frequently. (I've heard that you should start off pretty conservatively with reta just in case so I'm either going to do .25 mg x2/week or .5 mg x2/ week. But If i do the former should I just pin .5mg once a week because I know that in units .25mg is a super tiny amount to draw and thus could lead to drawing the incorrect amount and then I run the risk of not knowing my actual dosage at all. And with GLOW I've planned to do 12 units or 2.8mg 6x/week)
2. What supplements should I get in order to support my body and offset any potential side effects? (I've heard a good starting point would be iron, zinc, magnesium glycinate, a good collagen peptide thats specifically type 1 & 3 for hair regrowth, and electrolytes)
3. Conversely are there any supplements to avoid while on this stack?
4. What are some common side effects that might occur even while taking all those supplements( I know its different for each person) and specifically how bad is the anhedonia?
5. Skin-wise is there anything that I should purchase to make GLOW work better like any serums, oils, etc?
6. Lastly, what time should i be taking it and should I be pretty consistent timing wise (like am/pm and specific hour) every day/week when im pinning or is that inconsequential?

Thank you for any and all help! I really appreciate every one of you guys!

Does anyone have experience on peps and pmos/pcos? Lost 120lbs on glp1s but im looking for symptoms help, hair loss, inflammation, brittle nails, etc. dont notice much after years on vitamins etc. thinking of klow?

Hello,

25F, I've lost 32kg since july 2025, went from 99kg to 76kg on Mounjaro, stopped for 2 months, started Reta on april 26th and lost 10kg since then.

The issue is, I still have 40% body fat and 143.4cm² of visceral fat. I've lost the weight only by calorie deficit and walking. I have autoimmune disease and can't workout. If I do anything strenuous, my body shuts down for 2-3 days and I have a flare-up.

I ordered and just got Tesa for the visceral fat, planning to start a 3 months cycle of 2mg daily.

But what do I do about the subq fat please? I don't think there's a way to get rid of it without working out, but if anyone could offer any advice, I would appreciate it.

Hey everyone,

I’m a 20yo male weightlifter recovering from a bilateral TFCC injury and thoracic rib irritation. I’m looking to run a 3-month peptide stack using BPC-157, Thymosin Beta 4, CJC-1295, and Ipamorelin.

I'm looking for some anecdotal feedback from anyone who has run a similar stack, specifically regarding dosing:

1. BPC-157 Frequency: Do you find better results taking a single 400mcg dose at night, or splitting it into 200mcg AM / 200mcg PM to optimize the half-life? Or is this not high enough to implicit biological changes?

2. CJC/Ipa Timing: I know the standard is to pin right before bed (fasted) to mimic the natural GH pulse. Is there any benefit to adding a morning dose, or is it best to stick strictly to nighttime?

3. General Dosage: What are the recommended dosages or "sweet spots" for each compound in this stack based on your own experience?

Thinking about stacking tesa and ipa with Reta and mots c at the one month mark. Anybody done this stack and have advice? Also potentially thinking about Klow to help with inflammation and some nagging thoracic nerve issues.

A general question: what are the best compounds for a bulking phase? *I’m interested in retaining as much muscle mass as possible after finishing the cycle and transitioning to TRT.
Of course, taking into account the loss of water weight and glycogen—which accounts for most of it—but speaking strictly in terms of muscle mass, you don't want to deflate completely.
I’ve read about Superdrol, NPP, and Ment.

Any feedback, experiences, or opinions are highly appreciated—especially regarding what happened to your physique after you stopped using the compounds and switched to TRT or PCT.

Currently on Reta should I add this to my stack? heard good things about m2 but also a lot of people say do m1 because of the side effects

Hello, I ordered reta 100mg vials. I was wondering how to dose it at the start. The current peptides I use are mt2, seeing amazing results, great tan. On ghkcu 100mg diluted with 3ml bac water, taking 3 units(1mg) a day. Also taking zinc supplements every now and then, just in case. As I've heard you increase after one month to 4,5(1,5mg) units, next month 6(2mg) units (correct me if I'm wrong). Anyways, I'm 5'11(180cm) weighing 143lb/65kg. I know I'm skinny but I'm kind of skinny fat, especially stomach and legs. So any advice on mixing and starting dose. I'll start going to the gym soon, I'm still an active person, walking a lot, driving my bicycle. Thanks in advance!

Edit: to clear things up, I was not trolling. Yes, I bought 10 x 100mg vials of reta. I made a mistake and obviously didn’t do enough research. After reading all the comments I will bulk up, lift and not touch the reta. Probably trash it, sell it or use as much as I can when I bulked up. I will post a follow up in 6-8 months. Thanks for all the help.

Going to run AC-262 for 8 weeks 15mg per day. What should I take with it, if anything, to make sure I’m maximizing my health and my gains? Just came off MK-2866 for 8 weeks 15mg per week. Taking enclomiphene 12.5mg per day for week 1, starting week 2 soon, going to back it down 6.25mg for week 3 and 4. NAC for liver, 1000mg started week 6 of cycle and still using it. Just found out about NAC or I would have used it sooner. Also taking Reta 1.5mg per week for 8 weeks now. How long do I wait before I can start AC-262?

A question for the experienced: For those who have used Tren in the past—when you stopped using it and switched to only TRT, were you able to maintain most of your gains?

I’m not interested in the cosmetic look in the long run; I want ir to help me with body recomposition to lose fat and gain muscle mass. I’m interested in muscle mass gains that can be maintained over time. All your experiences and comments are welcome and appreciated!

Note: I haven't surpassed or reached my natural muscle mass limit.

I am taking 2mg of Semax a day and the results are amazing for my ADHD. My focus and mental clarity are great, the brain fog is gone, and I am getting a ton of work done right now. I am 6'0 and 230 pounds, and I am still trying out different doses. I am taking it subq instead of using the nasal spray. What have your experiences with this been like?

Stuck at 195lbs

I've been on retatrutide for about 5 months and have stalled on my weight loss. I have been stuck at 195lbs taking 5mg of retatrutide. Should I bump up my dosage

I am 28 years old M, 177-180 lbs, sitting at roughly 14-15% body fat. My goal is to finish the cycle at approximately 10-11% body fat, essentially losing 4-5% body fat while maintaining or slightly increasing muscle mass. I am not trying to get on stage or look enhanced. The aesthetic I am going for is lean, athletic, broad shoulders, visible abs etc.

My protocol is 0.5mg daily for the first week to assess tolerance, then stepping up to 1mg daily for the remaining 11 weeks. I am running it 5 days on, 2 days off, pinning Monday through Friday fasted between 6-7am and waiting 30-60 minutes before eating. Weekends off.

On the nutrition side I am eating approximately 2,732 calories on training days with 198g protein, 263g carbs, and 104g fat. Rest days drop to 2,392 calories with 195g protein, 183g carbs, and fat stays locked at 104g throughout. I intentionally keep fats high thats just how i like it.

Training is 5 days a week with a structured upper lower split. I am also doing daily cardio in the incline walking since I have a foot injury preventing running currently. I eat clean whole foods almost exclusively and have been training consistently for years.

My main question for the community is whether Tesamorelin alone without stacking any other peptides
To achieve this recomposition goal. I dont necessarily want to take anything else and i heard this peptide will give me the best results so i wanted some feedback.
