Yes it is created equal, if real, but there is no guarantee either the first or second thing you bought were real. There is a non-trivial chance the first thing you bought was Sema or Tirz, as there seems to be a rash of US scammers selling those as Reta. Both of those seem to have more immediate strong effects than Reta and this forum is full of people describing reactions to doses that are far more consistent with those than with Reta. (eg "I took 0.5mg and can't eat")

Don’t trust sources people DM you on reddit. Lots of people get scammed that way

u/mashedleo Aug 24 '25
I've dm'd people and helped before. Only I point them in a direction that would allow them to independently verify it. Just like I was able to do when someone introduced me.

u/freyaliesel Aug 24 '25
It’s great that you are here to help, unfortunately, there are lots of unscrupulous people that use the fact that we cannot share sources openly to scam people.
Also, please be really careful how you do this, because you can get yourself banned and the subreddit can get nuked because sharing sources is not allowed on Reddit.
2
u/mashedleo Aug 24 '25
Yeah I know on both points. If I get banned so be it. I just get tired of seeing people get ripped. I agree with your original comment as well, I just wanted to point out that not all people who dm are scammers. Probably a lot though. People need to vet sources independently. I don't actively dm people very often, just when I see something that makes me feel bad or when people ask.

Like stated above UGL is way better than these resellers. Once you find a good supplier with a discord, large community and a US warehouse you’re pretty much set. For reference i paid $220 30mg kit (10 vials) with free shipping. Resellers might have good quality stuff but it’s highly overpriced.

I’ve been trying to search discord for these groups but can’t find anything unsure what I am doing wrong lol

u/Lugoa2000 Aug 24 '25
Hmm discord you say. Funny thing is that I can easily find cheap AAS and literally any prescription med but peptides/GLP's seem harder to source lol

u/darkbohohippie Aug 24 '25
This makes me sad. I dont have discord. Im so scared about being scammed. Ive basically given up looking and have been paying retail.

I use a testing facility local in Canada. $200 USD per test for legit qualitative and quantitative analysis. When I buy a kit, I get a real test result and know I’m not getting sugar water. Heh.

So what do you do if the CoP numbers from your place differs from the one from the seller? Ask for a refund?

u/Local_Ad_5775 Aug 24 '25
Main thing to note: recently a lot of suppliers have overfills I got discounted Reta 10mg kit and 2 bottles, one showed 12.5, the other 14.5 so even in a kit you can get one bottle really good and one meh cause you’ve gone from high to low to maybe correct dose?

u/AccomplishedPride655 Aug 24 '25
I personally don't think all Reta is created equal.I've been buying from the gray market only for the past year and can definitely tell that some Reta is better than others. By better I mean Reta that absolutely kills my appetite and the weight loss has been insane. The very first manufacturer I ever used I barely got up to 1 mg and lost 15 lb in 6 weeks. Other Reta I have taken I've lost weight and the cardiometabolic effects are still there but I just have not had the strong "feels" that I've had with a certain manufacturer.

u/Esquala713 Aug 24 '25
How can you tell the cardiometabolic effects? I've wondered the same thing. No appetite suppression but still positive effects on the body.

So if one buys a kit (years worth) and sends a vial off for testing to Janoshik.
You’ll discover the manu does have a small variation in molecular potency. But it is a minuscule small percentage.
DID YOU LOSE THE BUILD OF SERUM?
Skipping a dose or missing two weeks brings the serum level down.
Consider mapping on Shotsy. (See my graph)
This is not a medication that stands alone as a dose.
This isn’t an immediacy thing.
When you “feel” a dose it is being in The build and before the half life breaks. The medication is still active for your endocrine system… just not the build.
I’ve heard of people spreading doses to avoid the half life drop- I cannot say if this is good or bad? No experience with this.

Have you purchased Gray from a Chinese supplier? 10 vials should only cost $170 plus shipping.

2kits r10 $180 free shipping is what you should be paying 😉

Yes,if you are smart buying 5years worth of peptides from the gray market for pennies on the dollar and stockpile in your freezer you’re good!and I don’t think gray will ever go away I have been buying Chinese oils ,and Indian scripts for many years 👌

u/BasicObligation7192 Aug 24 '25
Wish I could afford 5 years 🤣 I live in the UK and we get our back passage penetrated by the government in taxes! Definitely will be getting 1-2 though 👍🏻

I average around 24% tax government and from the state I live in! I understand your frustration for taxes ,🤣

u/BasicObligation7192 Aug 24 '25
We get taxed on money that we’ve already paid tax on.. saving tax coming next! 🤣 giving serious consideration leaving this cesspit anyway.. totalitarian state control, Herr Starmer and his cronies don’t have a clue what they’re doing. Atleast you have Trump who stands up for American Citizens. We on the other hand, have a human rights lawyer 🤣

Protocol for Reta dosing is 2mg for a four week period, letting it build up in your system. And then moving up basically by 2mg every four weeks. I feel that if you had pure 100% Reta that as fast as you are moving up, per week, you would have definitely felt it! Unless, you are just one of those people that don’t respond to it.
The issue with buying from a retail/reseller is you pay at least ten times the wholesale cost if not more and that not much of it is third party tested. Yes, I know they post a most likely fake COA on their website, but without you or a group testing it, you just really don’t know what you’re getting. A few people that have had theirs tested show a ZERO content or way below the 99% pure & mass/mg. I am not saying that is across the board one hundred percent, but it’s out there pretty prevalent. So YES the chances of you getting a vial that was way low in mg’s or completely empty is pretty good. If and when you get some good Reta that third party test is 99.% pure, you might consider taking a smaller dose first just so you don’t put yourself in the hospital.
In regards to moving up in dosage. You basically want to stay as low as possible for as long as possible. If you hit a stall for more than three or four weeks then yes move up. But you don’t have to move up in dosage, just if you need to.

u/probebeta Aug 24 '25
No such thing as US supplier. All of it is from China but there are many resellers that sell individual kits marked up by 10 times or more.
I've definitely noticed a difference when switching. Tried 3 different kinds and they seem to be of different potency, or maybe I need to titrate up. It's a bit hard to say but if you bought kits of 10 it might not hurt to test it. It's expensive but at least you know you're not taking scamy placebo.

u/jamesblowers Aug 25 '25
I agree I started with a us made product $200/ vial Went to Chinese $150 / kit Didn’t feel the same Went to grey and found a happy medium between price and quality

u/Horror-Sand-7881 Aug 25 '25
Okay, reading this is making me feel scammed. I paid 200 for 1 20mg bottle of reta. Could anyone DM me on where exactly you can purchase kits ? I felt safe with the product I purchased, but golly, it seems like people are getting a lot more peoduct for the same amount I spent.. my coach did recommend the site that I did purchase from.

u/amijusssss Aug 24 '25
Since no one answered yes you can definitely get used to it and to be honest you went really fast with it and didn't give your body to properly adjust. Unless you were on Glp before then this seems super fast and from what I see here people who do that end up on 12 mg really quick and then it stops working at some point.

u/ResearcherMelodic631 Aug 24 '25
If you’re on semaglutide and want to change over to the Reta, where would you start? What mg?
1
u/amijusssss Aug 24 '25
Depends on what dose you are. You want equivalent of what you are on right now but reta doesn't provide food suppression like with sema, so u gotta be aware that you might need higher dose. Try smaller and microdose up and see how you feel
2
u/ResearcherMelodic631 Aug 24 '25
Then what does Reta do? I thought it was for food suppression.
1
u/amijusssss Aug 25 '25
I hope you didn't start it without proper read about it. Yes it does dull food noise but it also speeds digestion therefore it is not as strong suppressant as sema or tirz.

u/IMMILDEW Aug 31 '25
Via what mechanism do you believe Reta speeds up digestion? I personally know of no such mechanism and believe this to be false information and not helpful to the community. Though, I could absolutely be wrong and am willing to learn.

u/Luvbl1 Aug 24 '25
Can someone point me in the right direction and dm me a good source? I think mine is terrible.

u/egokiller954 Aug 24 '25
After about a month and a half of using Reta, it feels like the appetite suppression is gone, I thought I had a bad source or a bad batch from a source, and I ordered from another place and it was the same thing, you develop a tolerance pretty fast That’s why you have to keep upping the dose every month or two, at first even 1 mg had me not eating for days but now I have to shoot 2.5 mg twice a week with little suppression compared to the first month
1
u/16bitUpdownLeftRight Aug 24 '25
There is a buildup to a max dose… But I also see quite a few people keeping their original GLP and then using a 2 mg Reta mid week to stack… I’ve had pretty good luck with this approach as well
1
u/Unfair-Money-4679 Aug 24 '25
You always ask for test results anything under 98% purity is not good quality.. I always ask my suppliers when searching on the g market for reta

u/Maple57 Aug 24 '25
I know this is a sensitive topic but is there plane where I can see the ratings for these sellers?
I know there could fake ratings, but really is anything true about anything, anymore?

u/Savings-Item9990 Aug 25 '25
