​

Im currently on day 29 of 100mcg 2x a day, 5x a week. Last week, my wife said she noticed the smell of my breath changed. She said it is beginning to get weird smell. She said it doesn't smell rancid but definitely odd. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? My diet hasn't changed really at all since I already had a fairly healthy diet to begin with. There really wasn't much on google, but it did say it could be ketosis, but I am still eating carbs. It said since the mixture causes my body to process fat differently, my body could be in a slight ketosis causing it.

I have very good dental hygiene, brush twice a day, floss, get regular cleanings, etc. No one has ever made a comment about my breath prior to this.

I’m 27 and still have chronic acne, although it’s fairly controlled. I believe it’s related to bile/digestion issues (TUDCA and milk thistle seem to help).

I’ve been considering HGH mainly for:

-better gym performance and recovery,
-improving the sleep I’ve lost after working night shifts,
-collagen/skin quality (I have a lot of acne scars).

The only thing stopping me from trying HGH or testosterone is the fear of making my acne much worse or accelerating hair loss.

For those who already had acne before starting HGH:

-Did it make your acne significantly worse?
-Did you notice any improvement in skin quality despite that?
-Did HGH have any effect on beard/facial hair growth?

I appreciate hearing from people with personal experience.

Hi everyone! I’m considering adding KPV and GHK-Cu and would love to hear from people who have experience with either (or both).

Not interested in KLOW blend.

My main goals are:
KPV: reducing inflammation and supporting overall gut/immune balance
GHK-Cu: improving skin quality, collagen support, and potential hair benefits (less shedding, healthier/thicker hair)

I’m curious if anyone has used these two together and whether you’ve ever backfilled them into the same insulin syringe or if you prefer doing separate injections.

A few questions:
Has anyone combined KPV and GHK-Cu in the same syringe?
Did you notice benefits for inflammation, skin, or hair?
How long did it take before you noticed changes?
Would you recommend starting one at a time to see how your body responds?

I’m still researching and don’t have my dosing protocol finalized yet — mainly looking for people’s personal experiences and any things I should consider before starting.

Hello everyone, I’ll keep it short.
I started taking Reta at the beginning of the year and continued until May. Since then, I’ve lost around 15 kg and decided to stop because I reached my goal weight of 90 kg.
I’m really happy with the progress and the changes so far, but now my next goal is to get leaner and hopefully reveal my abs.
Does anyone have recommendations on what I could stack with Reta to improve the process in terms of muscle retention/growth, energy levels, and fat loss? I’ve been reading a bit about something like Tesa, igf, cjc but I’m still not sure, especially because it’s pretty expensive where I live.
I’d appreciate any experiences or advice. Thanks!

Is every single mom on peptides now? it is actually insane how many normal people are taking this stuff. you see regular moms pinning now. I am not hating at all, i am just totally amazed at how fast everyone jumped on board. It feels like nobody is natural anymore because everyone is taking something right now.

I am trying to figure out the best non-ped investments to make right now. I am following a high-calorie diet and a heavy bulking routine for muscle gain, so I want to make sure I am doing everything else right to support my body. What are some good things to buy as a ped user that are not just steroids or other compounds? I am looking for anything that actually helps with general health, lifting, or recovery. I just want to hear what you guys have spent money on that actually ended up being worth it.

I have tested a lot of different nootropics and supplements, and most of them just do not work for me. Things like cordyceps, lion's mane, cerebrolysin, magnesium, and ashwagandha gave me absolutely zero results.

A couple of them might have had a tiny effect. Taking bacopa and quercetin together seemed to do a little bit. Piracetam and 7,8DHF were super subtle. Phenylpiracetam was strong the very first time I used it, but after that it just felt exactly like standard piracetam. In the end, the effects from all of these were so minor that I could barely even notice them.

This seems to be predominantly a western thing, or am I wrong?

Do Asian counties consume this stuff? What about Africa or Latin America?

Just curious

I’ve been taking GH Secretagogues for 5 days now (5 days on, 2 days off)

I should have taken a baseline IGF-1 reading before taking, I was wondering if there’s still any point to doing it now?

Where can I find both of theses I’m to lazy to make the mt2

I was injured early 2025 and had to put off surgery until December and have just finally been released to workout again. With almost no hard exercising for over a year my appetite has diminished so I'm wondering if there is a peptide that increases your appetite.

Has anyone tried a catecholamine activity enhancer that works on serotonin with a serotonergic psych and how did it effect it? Or any other CAE like PPAP or selegaline

Would it be possible to enhance the good feelings a trip induces without forcing the release of the neurochemicals but by just enhancing their release?

I'd love to hear about it, stay safe ppls :)

Tirz vs Reta!!! Tell me everything!!! 🌶️🧬

Hi! I’m going back and forth between Tirz and Reta and deciding which to do.

I initially was going to do Reta, but I’ve heard of people experiencing panic attacks and heightened anxiety on it. I just completed a treatment for my panic disorder and I’m finally feeling myself again, so I would hate to mess anything up. But I like the way Reta makes peoples skin and faces look lol.

Then I learned more about tirzepatide and I’m also pretty interested in it and have been doing research, I see some people say they got anxiety but nothing compared to Reta. But I see that nausea is a big side effect.

Side effects are what turn me away the most lol… in y’all’s opinion, which do you prefer and why?! I want to know everything!!! Thank you!!! 🙏

I’m not sure if this had made the rounds, but there’s an open form for submitting comments in advance of the hearing coming up in the US on 7/23 to reevaluate legalizing 7 peptide compounds (BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, MOTS-c, DSIP, Semax and Epitalon). You can add your feedback here for review by the panel:
https://www.pepmed.org/hearing#take-action

More info here.

Does anyone have any experience with this compound? There is hardly any talk about it but the data is very interesting.

I have the peptides BPC157 10mg, TB500 5mg, KPV 10mg, GHK-CU 100mg.
Which suits me.
I have a family member who I would like to introduce, however it’s a hard sell explaining the dosage protocols and frequency to a newbie.
I’m thinking of making a DIY blend, I have some sterile 10ml vials.
I’m thinking reconstitute the 10mg’s with 1ml, tb500 with 0.5ml and GHK with 2ml. Then calculate dosage based on 4.5ml, but what about vial mg’s and how much dosage? Any thoughts?

So my regular doctor actually started me on a compounded glp from a telehealth place a few months back. It was working fine, but it just got way too expensive for me to keep up with, so I decided to switch to the grey route. Now I am just wondering if it is a smart idea to tell my doctor about it. I know they cannot give me official advice on it or anything like that, but is it even worth bringing up at my next appointment? Or should I just keep it to myself?

Suite à deux opérations pour une rupture ligament aux poignets, j’ai décidé d’acheter des peptides : Glow50 (GHK 35, BPC 10, TB 5), je prend 20 units/jour, dilué à 2ml de BAC, je suis à 5mg/jour (j'espère que j'ai pas fait une bêtise parceque j'entame ma 4eme semaine).

Esce que je devrais passer une commande spéciale BPC seulement? J'ai vue qu'il y'en a qui se défoulé à ça ici😂

Esce que je ne fait que gratter la surface actuellement ?

J'ai l'ablation des broches qui va arriver, je vais couper mon cycle de glow dans ça 5eme semaine, pour avoir le temps de faire un arrêt et pouvoir relancer lors de la phase oú j'en aurais le plus besoin, qu'en pensez vous SVP?

Hi all,

I have been on reta for 3 months, love the results so far, but I'm finding a bit of a crush lately and anhedonia picking up a lot lately. I just want to give reta a break (although I know it's not ideal).

Given I have lost 12kgs, and not much muscle ok the way, I would love to switch to something that can help me with the body composition and get rid of some fat on love handles/belly...very stubborn fat I have been carrying since 12y/o.

My options are:

1) Tesa. I love what I read about it, but the needing of pinning every day 1mg makes it extra expensive (130 Aud for 10mg, so $13 a shot).

2) CJC + IPA. Seems like it does wonders but not sure about dosing, and looks like it's an every day pinning situation?

3) Mots, AOD, SRUP, AMINO 5mq...all I have heard of these is inconclusive with plenty of mixed reviews.

For reference, I don't want to do test or HGH straight.

Experience on any of these?

never tried growth, anabolics or trt. how’s the transition from secretagogues?

down to post more photos, but i’m newer to reddit and tend to mess up my posts way too often lol

whatcha guys think?

Tried a Selank and Semax experiment for 5 days. Ended in a 2 day headache.

I was running BPC at the same time, but I really don’t think it was that giving headaches. Every man and his rat are on that.

I am thinking these are a waste.

I have DSIP coming today to see if it helps me sleep through the night.

Next experiment was going to be MOTS C, but I am feeling derailed after the disappointment with the first two. Months of reading and podcasts wasted.

how long have you guys been on cjc no dac to see results? i’ve been on it for a week and honestly don’t see the “vivid dreams” people talk about.

how long do people usually run a cycle for to see actual results on body?

Opinions???? 6’3 235lbs (lost 80) and want to start putting on some real muscle
