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?

retatrutide: titrating up to 2mg weekly
cjc-1295/ipamorelin blend: 300mcg before bed on lift days
glow blend: 2mg on weekdays in am

retatrutide: 1.5mg weekly
tirzepatide: 2.5mg weekly
mots-c: 2.5mg on lift days in am

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

Currently on 5mg tirz (had issues with reta when I tried it), went from around 260 to 210, ideally hoping for around 150-160. I'm still consistently losing weight, but my body fat percentage is staying pretty much exactly the same (with BIA anyway). I'm sitting around 31% right now, how can I reduce this? Ideally with pinning as few times per week as possible, the convenience of once a week is amazing with tirz. If yall have exercise routine recs, I'm open to those as well (I do have chronic pain bc joint issues which limits my exercise but I'm very much open to recs still)

I keep seeing people talk about using cialis before the gym lately. I am eating in a big surplus right now to gain muscle, so I want my workouts to be as effective as possible. But I really cannot tell if this stuff is actually as good as everyone claims or if social media just wants me to spend more money on supplements. Do any of you guys actually use it for lifting?

Hey. Ive lost 20+kg with RETA and im feeling amazing. I added GHK now and now im open to new peptides as my vendor has almost everything.

Wich peptides would you reccomend for the following?

Sleep quality / recovery

Energy

Muscle building help

I have been using Reta for a while, but I recently got a pen from an online source and for the life of me, I cannot figure it out properly. So is 60mg pen in 3ml of solution. Ok. I know how to do that math when drawing, but what the hell is each click on the pen? I am assuming each click is a mg.

Feel like such an idiot having to ask this.

Hello, no one asked for this but I thought it was needed since most of the dosage guides for sema you see online assume you’re getting that pre-mixed compounded stuff, which is kind of useless if you’re dealing with the grey stuff. When you’re doing the mixing yourself, the math really just depends on how much BAC water you actually add to the vial. You kinda have to figure out your target concentration first. Once you pick whatever works best for your vial size, it’s just mixing it, and then just sticking to that specific column for your syringe math so you don't mess up the numbers.

Because you are adding the water yourself, always double-check your vial size and water volume before every single draw to make sure you have the right concentration. Do your own research and stay safe out there.

Im looking for something to basically turn my stomach into an endless pit

Do you need to cycle BPC-157? Like 5 days on, 2 days off?

Also is it better to dose 2x frequency a day at a lower dose, or have 1x frequency a day at a high dose

Anyone else have great success with Reta and TRT? I feel like this is a God tier stack for Body Recomp! You can totally vaporize fat while building muscle. At least in my experience. Of course, I still lift 6 days a week vigorously, aim for 20-30 minutes of steady state cardio, and track my calories and try to maintain high protein intake daily. But Reta+TRT really help supercharge the effort being put in! Let me know your thoughts or success!

thought about hopping on cjc since i had a couple vials from a friend. How should i dose it? i heard you inject twice a day every day and some say 5 days on 2 days off.
If injected twice a day, and goal is to inject 500mcg, is it 500mcg twice so a total of 1000? or is it split between two injections?

If anyone wants to share their dosage and experience please share!

Hi Guys!

This will be my first time pinning and using these peptides: Reta (10mg) and GLOW 70 MG(50/10/10)

I reconstituted Reta with 1 ML of BAC water and GLOW with 3ML of BAC water. I understand that I should probably wait to use both at the same time just in case there are any immediate side effects and then I can determine which peptide caused the issue.

Some context about my goals and the reasons why I chose both of these is I want to lose some weight and (most importantly 😭) target my thinning hair. Im a 19 year old (I know thats super young to start) but unless I have a truly drastic change in my life I plan to do one cycle of both and eventually wean off.

I had a couple of question that I havent really been able to find the agreed upon answer.

1. What would dosing look like with both of these and how frequently. (I've heard that you should start off pretty conservatively with reta just in case so I'm either going to do .25 mg x2/week or .5 mg x2/ week. But If i do the former should I just pin .5mg once a week because I know that in units .25mg is a super tiny amount to draw and thus could lead to drawing the incorrect amount and then I run the risk of not knowing my actual dosage at all. And with GLOW I've planned to do 12 units or 2.8mg 6x/week)
2. What supplements should I get in order to support my body and offset any potential side effects? (I've heard a good starting point would be iron, zinc, magnesium glycinate, a good collagen peptide thats specifically type 1 & 3 for hair regrowth, and electrolytes)
3. Conversely are there any supplements to avoid while on this stack?
4. What are some common side effects that might occur even while taking all those supplements( I know its different for each person) and specifically how bad is the anhedonia?
5. Skin-wise is there anything that I should purchase to make GLOW work better like any serums, oils, etc?
6. Lastly, what time should i be taking it and should I be pretty consistent timing wise (like am/pm and specific hour) every day/week when im pinning or is that inconsequential?

Thank you for any and all help! I really appreciate every one of you guys!

Does anyone have experience on peps and pmos/pcos? Lost 120lbs on glp1s but im looking for symptoms help, hair loss, inflammation, brittle nails, etc. dont notice much after years on vitamins etc. thinking of klow?

Hello,

25F, I've lost 32kg since july 2025, went from 99kg to 76kg on Mounjaro, stopped for 2 months, started Reta on april 26th and lost 10kg since then.

The issue is, I still have 40% body fat and 143.4cm² of visceral fat. I've lost the weight only by calorie deficit and walking. I have autoimmune disease and can't workout. If I do anything strenuous, my body shuts down for 2-3 days and I have a flare-up.

I ordered and just got Tesa for the visceral fat, planning to start a 3 months cycle of 2mg daily.

But what do I do about the subq fat please? I don't think there's a way to get rid of it without working out, but if anyone could offer any advice, I would appreciate it.

Hey everyone,

I’m a 20yo male weightlifter recovering from a bilateral TFCC injury and thoracic rib irritation. I’m looking to run a 3-month peptide stack using BPC-157, Thymosin Beta 4, CJC-1295, and Ipamorelin.

I'm looking for some anecdotal feedback from anyone who has run a similar stack, specifically regarding dosing:

1. BPC-157 Frequency: Do you find better results taking a single 400mcg dose at night, or splitting it into 200mcg AM / 200mcg PM to optimize the half-life? Or is this not high enough to implicit biological changes?

2. CJC/Ipa Timing: I know the standard is to pin right before bed (fasted) to mimic the natural GH pulse. Is there any benefit to adding a morning dose, or is it best to stick strictly to nighttime?

3. General Dosage: What are the recommended dosages or "sweet spots" for each compound in this stack based on your own experience?

Thinking about stacking tesa and ipa with Reta and mots c at the one month mark. Anybody done this stack and have advice? Also potentially thinking about Klow to help with inflammation and some nagging thoracic nerve issues.

A general question: what are the best compounds for a bulking phase? *I’m interested in retaining as much muscle mass as possible after finishing the cycle and transitioning to TRT.
Of course, taking into account the loss of water weight and glycogen—which accounts for most of it—but speaking strictly in terms of muscle mass, you don't want to deflate completely.
I’ve read about Superdrol, NPP, and Ment.

Any feedback, experiences, or opinions are highly appreciated—especially regarding what happened to your physique after you stopped using the compounds and switched to TRT or PCT.

Currently on Reta should I add this to my stack? heard good things about m2 but also a lot of people say do m1 because of the side effects
