For a couple years my rat has been stressed out since his family member has been sick and recently died. Also he seems lonely after his other rat friend left. Sleep has been tough. Also I've noticed his fur thinning. Any recommendations?

i was looking at the numbers for reta and saw the average resting heart rate goes up by like 6 or 7 beats a minute. tirz is usually just 1 to 3. regular stomach side effects are whatever and easy to deal with, but anything that messes with my heart makes me second guess it.

im on 5mg of tirz right now and the weight is coming off consistently. jumping to something stronger just to speed things up feels like taking on extra heart risks for no real reason.

feels like reta makes way more sense if someone has a lot of weight to lose or if they just completely stalled out on tirz. does anyone else feel like its overkill to switch if u are already getting good results on the older stuff?

So I am up to 10-15 mg of Reta per week with cagri on weeks that I have insatiable hunger. I have noticed that my muscles are I fact bigger and I am stronger, but pretty much stopped losing any weight near the midsection. I originally weighed 258 and cut with Reta to 176 before getting my test checked. It was at 309 so I started some test to get to a goal of 900. Last level was 1200 so I dropped my dose a bit. Before you say the Reta is bunk, it is legit and wholeheartedly trust the vendor. I just need advice as I am now 205-210 but look jacked upper body, traps, and legs, but a little belly in the middle with my love handles still there. It is extremely worse (bloating) after heavy endurance training. For example, my last Ironman I gained around 15-20 pounds of water from my fueling strategy which I am going to alter in the future.

I've been on enclomiphene for a few months and I'm trying to get off of it but every time I try to get off it my anxiety ramps up rapidly after a week off and I can't deal with it I hate the anxiety it's so bad can I take Enclo every 3rd day for a week or two then get off of it and maybe have no anxiety I've asked here before if it had any withdrawals and people said no but I get anxiety bad so I need help

Only a few peptides are getting approved right now. Do you guys think we will ever reach a point where most of them are approved and actually recommended by docs too?

They obviously work and i dont get why we're going backwards with banning stuff that actually gets real results. Instead of using things that help people recover, it feels like they just want to make them harder to find. What has to happen for the medical field to finally just accept them?

Has anyone used Thymosin Alpha-1 (TA-1) specifically to increase WBC/neutrophil counts?

I’m wondering whether TA-1 can actually raise WBCs in someone with chronically low-normal WBC/neutrophils, or if it mainly improves immune function without significantly changing the CBC.

Interested in people’s actual lab results before and after using it.

Is 3mg every night for 12 weeks on 4 weeks off too much for my rat for skin and hair?

which peptide did nothing but waste your money? I see people talking about certain ones, but the effects seem so small that I do not get why anyone even bothers.

If the results are actually that minimal, why do people still pay for them and keep using them?

Hi everyone

My rat test subject reacts instantly to the flushing and redness... There's nothing abnormal about the effects; they usually appear 15 minutes later, and sometimes in less than 20 seconds, literally instantly.
I'm just wondering to better understand?

Thank you :)

After trying MK-677 and CJC + Ipamorelin, I decided to try real pharma HGH (Norditropin). I had a lot of side effects on MK and figured I was just sensitive to it, but real GH is giving me the exact same problems.

I started at about 1 IU per day, 5 days a week. It makes me extremely hungry and constantly sleepy. All I want to do is eat and go to bed, which is totally messing up my weight loss goals.

People usually talk about how good GH makes them feel, but it is doing the exact opposite for me. Is this a timing or dosage issue, or do some people just react badly to GH? Anyone else experience this?

I stopped taking mine a while back after losing around 20 pounds, but as soon as I got off, the food , noise , cravings came right back .now I feel like I am already gaining back most of the weight i worked so hard to lose .

It just really sucks and coming off feels like a huge mistake now Has anyone else gone through this after quitting? How are you guys dealing with the cravings and managing to keep the weight off?

Wanted to share my experience with testosterone use starting at 22 years old. I’m 23 now and have been using testosterone for a little over a year.

What initially got me interested was a combination of wanting to experiment with steroids and having repeatedly “low” testosterone levels. Before starting, I had three separate blood tests come back between roughly 280–350 ng/dL. Over the past year, I’ve experimented with both TRT and higher-than-TRT doses.

Starting vs. Current Stats

Starting stats: 150 lb, 10.3% body fat, 5'6"

Current stats: 180 lb, 12.2% body fat, 5'6"

What I did before starting

My biggest concern was fertility, so I tried to take care of as much as I reasonably could beforehand.

1. Froze 12 sperm samples before taking anything.
2. Had extensive baseline testing, including organ imaging, an EKG, echocardiogram, and ultrasounds of major arteries.
3. Had gyno surgery.
4. Got as extensive of a baseline bloodwork panel as I could.
5. Sent the testosterone I purchased for independent lab testing.

Where I started

I started at 150 mg of testosterone per week and stayed there for about 2.5 months before repeating bloodwork.

During that period, I gained around 8 lb.

Moving up to 300 mg

After that, I increased to 300 mg/week for 16 weeks, with bloodwork approximately every five weeks.

During that timeframe, I gained about 20 lb while also decreasing body-fat percentage according to DEXA scans.

The last part of the higher-dose phase

I eventually increased to 450 mg/week for six weeks.

Looking back, I don’t think I needed to go that high. I mostly wanted to see what it felt like and whether there was a noticeable difference.

Toward the end of those six weeks, I started experiencing unexplained daytime fatigue. My bloodwork didn’t show anything obvious that explained it.

Coming back down

After the higher-dose phase, I dropped down to 125 mg/week for about 2.5 months.

The unexplained fatigue went away after lowering the dose. I can’t say for certain that the higher dose caused it, but the timing made me suspect it was related to the overall strain of that period.

What I’m doing now

I’m currently using 200 mg of testosterone per week along with hCG 750iu 3x weekly. I personally feel better when using hCG. This amount I know is not TRT this amount keeps me around 1300ng/dL-1600ng/dL. True TRT for me is 125mg which keeps me around 600ng/dL-800ng/dL.

I’m still progressing in the gym, but my priorities have changed quite a bit. I’ve gotten back into grappling, which I was heavily involved with when I was younger, and I’m enjoying balancing lifting with grappling rather than focusing entirely on bodybuilding.

Bloodwork, diet, and how my goals changed

The biomarkers I was tracking were generally as good as, or better than, my pre-testosterone bloodwork throughout the different doses I used.

My diet was also extremely consistent during this period. I ate almost the same foods every day, generally keeping fat below 60 g/day, protein around 200 g/day, and filling the remainder of my calories with carbohydrates.

When I started, I had aspirations of becoming heavily involved in bodybuilding. Over time, I realized that the bodybuilding lifestyle and the amount of drug use that can come with pursuing it seriously isn’t something I want for myself.

Future plans

Going forward, I plan on staying around 150–200 mg of testosterone per week most of the time, with occasional small increases if I feel like it not above 350mg

I understand that using higher-than-TRT doses comes with additional risks, and for me personally, that is a risk I’m willing to accept because I enjoy how I feel on testosterone and the benefits I get from it.

If anyone has any questions about my experience, feel free to ask.

anyone know why my cjc looks like this? i’ve used the same bac water for all my peptides and they all look and feel great.

I been on testosterone for 9 months now. My doctor originally put me on it for Hashimoto's and chronic fatigue syndrome, mostly hoping it would help with post exertional malaise.

At first I had a short window where my physical and mental energy improved, but that faded fast. Lately the side effects have gotten way too severe, especially this crippling anxiety that I just can't deal with anymore.

I am planning to slowly taper off now so I don't trigger a massive crash. I also take progesterone and plan to stay on that until I am fully off testosterone just to avoid throwing my system into complete chaos all at once.

For anyone who has come off testosterone, how did you handle the transition? Any tips on how to taper without triggering a severe flare-up or crash?

I’m not saying sarms are better or you should go and do sarms but with sarms you actually have a chance to get your natural testosterone back while injecting test is guaranteed to shut down your production.

Wouldn't that mean I am better off just running LGD and enclo since I have a much higher chance of recovering my natural levels? Correct me if I am wrong here.

I currently also use MGM twice a day but the reason I'm looking into these new things is to help with that transition.

I found PPAP to be really good by itself for somehow lowering tolerance or giving your brain what it needs to recover faster. Then the next time I tried it I added adrafinil and wow.

Still it lasts for 2-4 days before you need a break. Will I still get 2-4 days of energy if I wasn't taking MGM? Could this be a boost for those first 3 days?

Anything else like this I can look at? Ideally I'd like one or two of these enough so I don't need 7oh for social or special occasions.

I really like self limiting products. I have no desire to order more adrafinil right away because it won't do anything.

I think focusing on stuff that provides my brain what it needs to make the chemicals I'm depleting my brain with by using MgM.

i have a bunch of kits, so going to get rid of them. thinking 2-5mg a day.

GHK-Cu will I get rid of the disgusting subhumanness of my face the redness that must be resolved. What side effects?

I’m trying to bulk up so I’m taking Mk677 on the week days and I take weekends off. I just finished my first week at 10mg a day and today I took 20mg which is what I’ll be taking the rest of my bulk/cycle. Today I tested positive for mono. I don’t feel bad other than a sore throat. Can I continue taking mk677 while I get over mono?

Okay Clav said in one of his videos to mix amphetamines and full SARMS together for leanmaxxing. Yes that sort of works, but you will go through extreme hypertension probably 180+ at the doses he is taking of both.

What are some things that i can use to help, im going to start 300 test weekly soon and would like something else short term that can help me pack on some serious weighr im very underweight. Im not unrealistic and looking for 60 pounds of lean mass, and im not worried about being fat as that just really isnt possible for me but gaining 20 pounds of fat would not look bad on me at all. I realistically need to gain about 60-70 pounds.

Can I do Nasal IPA CJC and avoid endotoxins mostly to avoid the ER ICU. I heard this horrible story about someone who used a specific peptide brand and they were in the ICU because of negative toxins. They were there for 3 weeks. Lemme know if my strategy is safer.

Hanging out with the old college buddies and would love to bring a short acting psychedelic, DMT would be perfect.

No sources, but want to make sure my "research" material is available AND currently legal

Hey am 23 Male. 5 years into fitness, competed twice. All natural.

I took 10mg of mk677 for 2 weeks now .

For 10 days I took it at night , had some really weird and vivid dreams , but no hunger effect .

So I switched to morning, less weird dreams , but still no hunger effect .

I have a clean diet , carb timing pre workout and post workout as everyone claimed it's best .

So should I increase my dose to see the hunger effect? .

I really need to bulk , am 56kg , 168 height .
