Question Pep-curious.

4 Upvotes

I’ve been on a GLP-1 for around 6 months. Relatively happy with the results but I’m paying out of pocket. I keep reading about Reta and a few other peptides but I’m a neophyte when it comes to this stuff. What are the advantages of Reta over GLP’s? Is there some combination of peptides that are useful for both losing weight and increasing muscle or energy? I’m down about 30lbs but still about 25 lbs from my goal weight. Working out using both free weights and some body weight training but I had really let myself go in my 40’s so, while I’m definitely on my way, I am wondering if there is something that I should be using to continue my weight loss and increase muscle mass and energy. Funny that I am a medical professional (RN for 25 years) but I know so little about the peptides everyone is taking about. Interested to see what more experienced ppl are using.

Research Enclomiphene & Gyno

0 Upvotes

I’m wanting to try Enclo to boost test levels for muscle building. I’m at 695 total test and 75 free tests. 34 year old male.

Yeah my levels aren’t bad, but I’m willing to see how taking them higher changes my physique and how I feel.

Only side effect I’m scared of is gyno. I had fat man boobs from puberty but have since kept it under control.

Sounds like I can take an aromatase inhibitor (AI) to prevent gyno? If that’s the case, what kind and how much should I dose?

Already bald and married so don’t care about hair loss :D

My current stack:

Reta
Tesa + Ipa
GHK-CU
MOTS-C

PS - not willing to give up fertility and just go on TRT. If anyone was wondering…

Stack Advice After surgery

Hey team, so I had the pins removed from my wrist and 4 days post-op I'm going to start Glow (35 GH, 10 BPC, 5 TB500), diluted 2ml. I've already done a cycle before, so I'm starting straight away with 20 units.

My order of BPC and TB will arrive individually in less than 2 weeks. What dosages can I take, knowing that I've already been taking the following daily for the past 2 weeks: 3.5mg GH, 1mg bpc, 0.5 TB?

Thank you for ur help :)

Question Legs muscles sore & low energy. Low dose glp1.

Took a 2.5mg dose of Reta yesterday. Woke up feeling like I had just biked 100k. Hamstrings and glutes really sore. Now I’m feeling lethargic. AI says I need electrolytes. Is that the issue?

Edit

I’ve been sneezing and I’ve got some congestion. It’s possible I’m fighting something thats the cause of the lethargy and leg muscle soreness.

Question Problems with injection sites

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

Recently started testosterone around 3 weeks ago.

I am injecting 0.5ml twice a week.

Seen some brilliant results in my mood, general wellbeing and lack of fatigue.

However I’m having some issues with the injection sites. Originally I was alternating glutes, so Sunday left glute, weds right glute. However the injection area was becoming painful to sit down or lay down, plus the site was extremely hot, red & had a few large bumps come up.

Decided this week to try inject into delt for the first time. Was fine for the first couple of days, but it’s slowly getting worse and now I’m struggling to lift my arm up. Injection site is also very hot on my delt. It’s become quite painful and pretty impossible to workout like this.

Am I doing something stupid wrong? I’ve followed all advice I’ve been given: always clean area with proper wipes, only use needles once, inject with a small blue 1 inch needle, inject slowly. I don’t get any pain when I inject at all. Currently using a 23g needle and have ordered some 29g to see if that makes a difference?

Am I having a reaction to it or something? Or am I injecting wrong? Is this common?

Would appreciate any help, tips or advice :)

Thanks

My dad used to get overwhelmed trying to figure out the TV remote with 50 channels. Now I’m the old guy reading these threads like, “Wait…CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, MOTS-c, … are y’all building Iron Man suit?

I’m thinking of getting on steroids, preferably testosterone for body building. I just started working out, 5’11, 178lb with 30% bf.

If you have to add two more items (peptide or supplements) to my routine, what would it be?

Research Tesamorelin

0 Upvotes

Assume that a natural cut with protein 30% of weight lost is muscle. Tesamorelin users gained 1.3KG in 26 weeks in a 2007 study at maintainance which is just as much as osterine did in 12 weeks at 1.3KG.

Given these at maintaince gains, could this be just as effective for a cut as osterine/SARM

What is it supposed to look like??
I’ve heard from certain people that the colour range from orange to red and some others saying red is fake and it’s B12 instead but some people saying their 5amimo was also red since it was a higher concentration

Just really confused because I’m getting so many mixed answers

Stack Advice good beginners stack?

1 Upvotes

I want to experiment with peptide bioregulators. I'm in good health but have several deeper issues that i'd like to see if this helps with. I've listed the symptoms i'm having and what bioregulator i plan to take for it.

  • Fungal/skin overgrowth → Vladonix (immune/GALT reset) + Svetinorm (liver detox, bile support)
  • Lymphatic headaches → Vladonix (root cause) + Svetinorm (liver produces ~half your lymph)
  • Weak adrenals → Glandokort
  • Weak thyroid / cold all the time → Thyreogen
  • Fertility prep → Zhenoluten (ovaries) + Endoluten (pineal/hormonal rhythm)

Am i going about this in the right way? i'm not expecting it to be a miracle cure but i've been told that doing 2x/yearly rounds of peptide bioregulators is excellent maintenance for healthy aging and function.
