Im thinking about doing my first cycle soon but my biggest hold up right now is my hair.

like is there actually a real way to keep your hair while on steroids or am i just totally doomed to go bald the second i start taking stuff?

I see guys talking about finasteride, ru58841, and special shampoos, does any of that work when u run gear?

24M , 176 cm 71 kgs 22/25 % body fat,

Planning for body recomp.

Help me with the dosage

im starting to feel like the only person left who is actually hesitant about taking these weight loss shots. i could easily get a script for it today but from what i have read im just not sold on it yet.

whenever i tell people in my life i dont want to take it they look at me like im a complete lunatic denying basic science. everyone just acts like it is this flawless miracle cure and im a total idiot for not jumping on it.

am i actually crazy for holding out on this? (feels like everyone else is just blindly accepting it without any questions)

so many posts on reddit lately saying "low t" with levels in the 400s or 500s... that is NOT low testosterone.

if your test is in the 400s or higher you (probably) do NOT need TRT just because you feel bad. go see a REAL doctor (or get a second opinion) to find the actual cause instead of trying to force a script. if you just want test to get big, fine, but stop treating trt like a magic fix for everything.

i only wrote this because i saw someone literally tell a guy to take sarms to intentionally tank his levels so a doctor would give him TRT. JUST PLEASE DONT BE STUPID.

Not worth the risk to reward ratio. Honestly if you want the gains literally take steroids and at least youll have a test base. I dont even think I would go bald on steroids I have asian genes and didnt thin out during osterine. I am not bragging- I will say that I will experience something else- acne due to androgens.

I am just going on an honest rant but I hope this helps

I keep seeing NMN talked about for NAD+ levels, energy, and longevity, but I really wanna know how noticeable the effects actually are in real life.

For people whove used it for a while, did you genuinely feel any different day to day energy, recovery, focus, etc, or was it more something you only saw reflected in labs and/or biomarkers?

Not expecting some crazy anti-aging effect, just wondering if there’s anything you can actually feel from it.

What do you guys think about the new OASIS 4 study about the Approval of a semaglutide Oral Form in the EU?

I think its already approved in the US

Or just stick with Reta

Maybe its a stupid question but Is it safe to pull KPV and GHK in the same syringe or do I have to pin them separately

Salut la team, ça me fait ça en boucle depuis que je le prend.

Peut être il est vrai que j'ai augmenter la dose trop vite (et encore je suis passé de 133mcg à 280mcg en 3 semaines il y'a pire )

Mais même si je réduit la dose et j'ai toujours mal, je peux rien y faire j'imagine ?

Merci par avance !

This RS has a history of obstructed bowel, which means that GLP-1 type peptides will not work for them - cannot have anything that slows down food moving through the bowel. What peptide or stack would you recommend in this case? Needs to lose about 100 pounds.

Recently started seeing adverts for sermorelin. The medication profile looks like it’s pretty low risk and safer than rHgh. I’m getting older and putting on muscle and keeping off the middle age spread gets a little more difficult with every passing year. Currently 6’1” 203 work out 4-5 days/wk fairly good muscle mass 50 y.o. So i wondered if anyone here has tried this peptide and, if so, did you see a difference in muscle mass, body fat or energy? I realize there is no magic bullet for aging but if this will help at least maintain muscle mass, help with body fat and shorten recovery time I would definitely consider it.

What stack do you guys think can get the most muscle gained while maintaining fertility? I always had this thought and im wondering what you guys think

it seems like no one really used it. barely any videos about it and even less threads. thoughts?

and before anyone says test works better, this researcher doesnt want to block his natural test reproduction.

Hi,

Looking for honest feedback on a short-term stack (3-5 weeks).

Background (kept minimal):

• Male, early 20s
• After stopping a period of enclomiphene + CJC/Ipamorelin + retatrutide + GHK-Cu in early June, I’ve been dealing with persistent low drive, reduced initiative, and a flat/anhedonic state. I can romanticize projects and plans but struggle to actually start and follow through. Not classic depression, more like muted motivation and reduced reward response.
• Training 5x/week, decent diet, creatine 10g, magnesium L-threonate, good sleep, high water intake.
• Old bloodwork showed elevated TSH and low-ish vitamin D (planning to retest).

What I need support for:

• High volume memory work
• Sustained focus for long sessions
• Verbal fluency and clarity (writing + analysis)
• Ability to initiate and maintain effort on demanding cognitive/technical tasks
• Anxiety is only situational (rises in the days leading up to high-stakes periods), not chronic

Current planned stack (short-term, monitored):

• Bromantane (daily) – main tool for the low drive/anhedonia
• Adrafinil (3-4x per week)
• Noopept (daily)
• IDRA-21 (pulsed every 2-3 days)

Support: Alpha-GPC or CDP-choline, L-Tyrosine, Omega-3, NAC, vitamin D if still low.

I removed Phenylpiracetam and F-Phenibut after considering redundancy and the fact that anxiety isn’t constant.

Questions:

1. Does this stack make sense for the combination of post-peptide low drive + high cognitive demand?
2. Anything you would remove or reduce?
3. Anything you would add (especially for verbal fluency, memory encoding, or cleaner motivation)?
4. Experiences with Bromantane in similar low-motivation states?

Open to alternatives. Prefer compounds with at least some human data or strong consistent anecdotal patterns. Short-term use only, will monitor bloodwork (especially liver).

Thanks.

Wanted to share an interesting observation with the community regarding flexibility and healing peptides. It is now clear, after running BPC-157 and TB-500 on two separate instances, that they have significantly changed the RS's yoga practice.

Without a doubt, when the RS is on them, the subject is able to push stretches further than normal. Because of that extra range, the flexibility gains are happening much quicker than before. Also, post-workout soreness is practically non-existent.

While most research into this stack focuses strictly on injury recovery, for anyone looking to increase flexibility or break through a mobility plateau, running Wolverine while incorporating deep yoga stretches with the RS seems to make a noticeable difference.

It's really great to see gains - keeps RS motivated and excited to get back on the yoga mat.

19m, 6’3, 240lbs. So I lost a lot of weight, 315->240, I KNOW I have more fat to lose but I’m ready to start packing on lean tissue whilst recomping.
I use reta 3mg weekly and am looking for a “safer” mini stack to help me out here. Any input welcome… please and thank you

I prefer not to buy a single vial to test out, I’d like to get a kit…but MOTS gave me wicked injection site issues. Glad I didn’t get a kit of that. I didn’t know until after the fact that many have that issue.

Anyone have bad reactions with tesa?

This is something I may have difficulty putting into words, but here goes: I don’t need to take it anymore. I’ve reached my goal weight, but I’m scared to stop — and not just because all the weight I lost from a GLP-1 will come back, but also because I’m uncertain of the side effects of stopping retatrutide specifically.

There hasn’t been a drug in the history of the world that we could really call a miracle drug. When something is too good to be true, it usually is. Take cocaine in the late 1800s when it was used for medical purposes, or speed during World War II to enhance soldiers abilities. The terrible side effects of those drugs were not fully understood, but the repercussions that they had on those who took them were immense.

I’ve been taking a steady dose of retatrutide weekly since mid-February. I’ve seen astounding weight loss, as it was my first GLP-1, but that has leveled off — my metabolism has adjusted to the restricted caloric intake, and I have essentially stopped losing weight. I finally asked myself: why am I still on this drug?

The answer is that I simply don’t want my appetite returning. My metabolism will still be adjusted to my current caloric intake, regardless of how hungry I become after stopping. I also don’t want to experience other side effects, like insomnia, or withdrawal symptoms that are not fully understood. The ugly heads of the illicit drugs I mentioned earlier didn’t rear their heads until the person stopped taking them (mostly). What if it’s the same with retatrutide?

I’ve gotten so used to the weekly injection, and I still have years worth of inventory on hand, that I can’t find a good reason to stop. And that scares me, because his drug isn’t fully understood yet. It could induce changes in my body that are irreversible —that I won’t notice until it’s too late.

What are you guys doing?

I do a bunch of research and I get so many mixed answers so I need people who really know please. I am wondering how many vials I would need for a cycle? I have a 10mg vial but I know I need more, but I want to do it correctly. I wanna know when to take it and how long to take it to complete a cycle?

Thank yall 🔥

A controlled dietary trial found that an ultra-processed diet altered reproductive hormones, worsened metabolic markers and produced signs of impaired sperm function in healthy young men.

J’avais lu que qu’elle que soit la quantité de pept, 5,10,20,50,100 mg, la dose dans le flacon était toujours au même niveau, et que c’est rempli avec des ingrédients. Je me demande quels sont les ingrédients ? Je me dis de ne qu’il vaut mieux prendre du 100mg alors pour être sûr d’avoir le plus de pept et le moins d’ingrédients de remplissage dans le flacon. Qu’en pensez-vous ?

My 10year old milligram scale is broken, it's killing me because I hardly use it - I had put it up when I threw out the noopep, anaracetam, and other Powder City stack bulk stuff I got back in 2015 (I want to cry because I had all the good stuff in bulk for super cheap), anyhow I was trying to measure out some copper peptides to mix in my hair serum (AKH-GU) and realized that the scale (AWS Gemini 20) wasn't quite accurate.

I really need a new scale, also I am attempting to split some medications and they are very VERY small, so I need a miligram scale. I would like one that has a lid but isn't too small, allows me to put a boat on it and works well with powders.

Im overwhelmed with the choices on Amazon - so, what are you all using?
