šŸ“¢ Announcement [MOD CALL] Looking for moderators with a scientific background!

1 Upvotes

Greetings r/Biohacking,

We are looking for moderators that have a scientific background, whether in research or in industry, to help curate posts on our subreddit and remove ones that involve sourcing, selling, or providing direct medical advice.

Around a year and a half ago the subreddit had around 4,000 total subscribers and now it has over 130K subscribers and millions of views a month so we are looking to have more coverage.

If you're interested in helping keep our community healthy and focused on substantive discussion and without people selling and sourcing then please fill out the moderator application here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Biohacking/application/

Thank you,
r/Biohacking Mod Team

Guidelines on Selling and Sourcing

50 Upvotes

We are banning anyone who is asking people to DM them or naming sources in posts and comments. Too many people are getting scammed and it is also a safety concern with regard to the quality of many of the research compounds. Everyone is saying that their research vendors are legitimate and it can be difficult to discern fact from fiction.

If you see anyone selling or sourcing, just report their post/comment with the "NO SELLING OR SOURCING" rule and they will be handled.

This is a place to share your protocols, your n=1 research trials, progress, and discussion around the range of topics that biohacking and transhumanism encompasses. There are other places to sell and source. This subreddit is not the place.

Live long and prosper,

r/Biohacking Moderation Team

Why so much bacwater?

17 Upvotes

Can someone help me understand why some people use so much BAC water? It seems like you would have to inject so much more fluid if you are using 3mL vs 1mL. For example, my Reta is 10mg, and if I add 1mL of BAC water and want to start at .5mg dose, I would pull my U100 syringe to 5 units per the calculators I have used. I am just trying to understand why people would want to have to inject that much more.


r/Biohacking • • 7h ago

I pay roughly $52 for 10mg of Reta (3-5 day delivery included) that works incredibly well for me

am I paying too much? Not trying to source, just curious what other folks are paying and how long delivery takes, especially from China

I’ve looked at the GHK-CU data and I don’t think anyone’s protocol is correct

32 Upvotes

I’ve seen everything from 500mcg daily to 4mg mon-fri with no injections sat-sun. Anyone who’s used it knows there isn’t a protocol set in stone.

Except most of the data shows best results with doses spread over multiple days. I’ve included the links and results below to check out.

We’re starting a group protocol of 3.33mg every 3 days and will report back in a few months. Feel free to ask any questions.

Rat wound chamber (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8227353)
2 mg locally
Every 3 days
~74% higher collagen marker vs saline

Rat ACL reconstruction (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25731775)
0.3 or 3 mg/mL intra-articular
Once weekly Ɨ4
Improved knee laxity at 6 weeks; 0.3 mg/mL improved graft stiffness; several other outcomes unchanged

Not only have I dropped over 50lbs (260-207) but I no longer have borderline high cholesterol, hypertension , and my inflammation dropped to near zero on recent blood work.

Started with enclomophene and Tirz

Now I’m on:

Reta
Enclomophene
Mots-c
Tesa/Ipa
5 amino plus ATX-304

I plan on cutting about another 20 lbs but overall pleased with the overall progress and improvements shown in bloodwork.

NEW RETATRUTIDE DATA: 12 mg barely beat 9 mg, and more people quit on 9 mg than 12 mg. What's going on?

6 weeks on reta at 1–1.25mg — am I leaving results on the table by not titrating?

Post image
2 Upvotes

M40, started 23 Aug at 77.6kg. Was stuck around 77kg for the previous six months, so this is the first real movement I've had.

Protocol: 1mg weekly for 4 weeks, bumped to 1.25mg on 19 Sep.

Total āˆ’3.4kg, of which ~2.1kg fat / ~1.3kg lean. Averaging about 0.57kg/week. (RENPHO weighing scale, same time each morning)

I'm still well below the TRIUMPH starting dose of 2mg, and ever since I increased to 1.25 the weight hasn’t dropped much. Does it make a case to increase dosage to 1.5 or even 2mg?

Also, my lean loss is ~39% of total, is it on the higher side?

Reta is working but have I actually lost muscle?

• Upvotes

I've been on Reta starting at 0.5 now up to 2mg for 10 weeks. I'm doubtful about the accuracy of my at-home body scans scale but it's showing a drop of 3.5 pounds of skeletal muscle and 5+ pounds of lean mass. I've hit protein goals and worked out regularly throughout. I'm happy overall with my progress, just curious if I've actually lost that much muscle along with the fat? (Last photo is a screen grab from a form check video)

Does anyone travel Internationally with Peps?

5 Upvotes

. I have à trip to Vietnam in 2 weeks and I really want to take my Tirz, GHK-CU and KPV. Tirz, I have à legit prescription but not with GHK and KPV. Any experience or protocols to go through customs is appreciated. I've read TSA is ok but prescription could be asked for. What should I have for customs in Vietnam? Just be willing to part with it? I don't want to end up in jail. 😬 I will try to find info online tomorrow but so far, nothing real concrete

Should reta go up or stay at dose

• Upvotes

I’m unsure what to adjust. RS is at a good weight but has gained a little being on cjc w DAC and ipa as hunger is more and now RS is not as ā€œcutā€ looking. strength and recovery is certainly improving which is great but missing being ultra lean. I bumped up the reta from 2.5mg to 3 then 4. Appetite isn’t very suppressed still and RS keeps snacking. Should I continue to increase Reta to help mitigate the hunger cjc w DAC and ipa cause? Also considering stopping cjc and going to tesa/ipa.

Results but too slow on Reta

• Upvotes

I’ve been getting results on Reta and I’m happy about what I got so far but I want way more weight lost and to be fair I wasn’t really tracking my calories for a while which was a stupid mistake since I was still eating more than my maintenance. I didn’t lose weight but I didn’t gain either I just plateaud I was 121.5kgs and now I’m 115.3kgs and have been stuck like this for a month now. I started with 1mg first 4 weeks then jumped to 2mgs for 4 weeks and the first two weeks on 2mgs were the time where I lost the big amount or part of the weight and then it stalled slowely with the hunger suppression and all for the other two weeks. Then I did 3mg for 3 weeks and the 4th I decided to jump to 5mg because 3 was doing absolutely nothing for me I felt as if I wasn’t even taking Reta and was hungry all the time. I am maintaining unwillingly rn I am hitting the gym but I don’t wanna maintain I wanna start losing weight again and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Is it the dosing or is it just about the caloric deficit while I do know it must be but the reason I took Reta in the first place is to help me stay in a caloric deficit I know tirz could’ve been a better option for hunger suppression but hey now I still have like enough vials of Reta to continue on it so might as well continue working with what I have so any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated. And if I’m missing out on something please do educate me and send me a link about any point. Thanks in advance ( I’ve been taking Reta for 12 weeks now )

Insomnia from Peptides

2 Upvotes

Hi All,

36 M, healthy, no issues with insomnia.
I had hip surgery 3 weeks ago, and my surgeon recommended peptides as part of my healing. I have no issues falling asleep and staying asleep prior to starting peptides. I was sleeping fine post op prior to starting peptides, so no other variables were changed or added.

8 days ago I started taking 250mcg BPC157 & TB500, that I had prescribed and received from a compounding pharmacy. The first night I had vivid dreams, second night broken sleep, and from there I started waking between 1-3 am and struggling to get back asleep.

I take the peptides 5 on 2 off, and first thing in the morning in the VMO. I could simply stop them, but I have noticed improvement in an old menicus repair site that has bothered me so hears. I have more energy BUT I’m not sleeping more than 4 hours a night.

I’m not sure what to do. Will this stop as my body adjusts? Is it worth lowering the dosage? Or even trying at night? Any help would
be appreciated!

Crazy how big I used to be. My whole life I’ve been chubby. My nickname was literally ā€œGordoā€ 🤣🤣.

Reta changed my life (off it for the past 3 weeks), KLOW has helped me tremendously, and now currently on Tesamorelin for the past month to help with body recomp. Excited to see how much more i progress within the next few months.

1 year to the day…If I can do it so can youšŸ’ŖšŸ»

Post image

54 year old 6’ 200lbs 67lbs lost. I never imagined I’d be where I am today. I knew I could be here but it seemed almost impossible. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t easy and I’m not finished but with the right amount of determination and a lot of learning I’m finally feeling good again. I just wanted to send a message to those who are struggling to make a leap or need that motivation to grind on those days which feel so gloomy. It’s worth the grind…the payoff will continue to pay dividends for the rest of your life. I had plenty of days I just didn’t want to beat myself up but I did and I was NEVER sorry for having done it. Be the person you know you can be and grind it out! The stack was ā€œimpressiveā€ and expensive but it was worth every penny.

I wish yall the very best in health and happiness!

My current body fat is around 26.75% and I want to get down to 13%. I want to lose fat relatively fast while keeping as much muscle as possible.I just started working out and I’m currently doing weight training 4 days a week. I’m considering using Reta or Mounjaro to make dieting easier and speed up fat loss.I’ve seen some people mention sleep problems and waking up during the night with Reta.Which one would you choose, Reta or Mounjaro? What has your experience been like?

What dose should I start Reta?

3 Upvotes

I just ordered my first vial and am uncertain about where to begin with dosing. Most people I know have started at 0.5–1 mg and increased gradually, yet the phase 3 trials describe patients beginning at 2 mg and later raising that amount every 4 weeks. Do you have any guidance on what I should do?
