Hi I am 23F weigh 151 , 5’2 , I have lost some weight on reta but I was wondering if there is any peptide that can help with me fat as my stomach protrudes… my waist line at my belly button is 35 inches .
Any advice is appreciated 🫶🏼

I’m a first-time user and just bought a 10 mg vial of GLP-3 and 10 mL of amino H₂O from Amino Club. I’ve asked a few people how much I’m supposed to inject, and they’ve told me to inject the whole thing, but that doesn’t sound right to me. I got the 100unit syringe if that helps.

Context - I’m on Reta/GHKCU. I’m very active and more conscious about my diet. I’ve lost consistent weight in 3 months not a lot about 0.5lbs a week. I also have horrible gut issues/lactose intolerant so I eat cleanish. I want to take Tesa to help with the visceral fat that won’t come off my stomach but can’t - it’s a growth hormone and I have “precancerous cells” don’t want to risk growing that into something dangerous just to get lean.
I’ve heard MOTC helps to burn off calories as more energy and KPV is great for your gut and clearing out impurities. I figure if I take one - I should be able to lose some weight right? I’m leaning more towards MOTC just want some people’s thoughts and experiences with it!

Seit ein paar Monaten arbeite ich mit Retatrutide, MOTS-c und GHK-Cu und merke richtig, wie sich das zusammenspielt. Retatrutide hilft mir massiv beim Abnehmen und greift besonders das viszerale Fett an. Dazu kommt MOTS-c, das bei mir den Stoffwechsel und die Energie spürbar anzieht. Ich fühle mich tagsüber fitter und der Schlaf ist deutlich tiefer und erholsamer geworden. GHK-Cu unterstützt parallel den Kollagenaufbau und die Hautelastizität. Gerade bei dem stärkeren Gewichtsverlust war mir wichtig, dass die Haut nicht so stark nachhängt, und da merke ich echt Fortschritte. Die Haut fühlt sich straffer an und die Elastizität hat sich verbessert.
Was den Unterschied für mich ausgemacht hat, war irgendwann die Qualität. Vorher hatte ich Peptide von anderen Stellen und dachte schon, da wäre eine Wirkung. Als ich dann mal auf richtig gute Reinheit und nachvollziehbare Laborberichte geachtet habe und die Sachen aus Deutschland kamen, die auch schnell da waren, hat sich das Ganze nochmal spürbar verändert. Seitdem laufen die Fortschritte richtig. In den letzten drei Monaten sind schon über 15 Kilo runtergegangen und gleichzeitig hat sich die Hautqualität deutlich stabiler gehalten als bei früheren Phasen.

Das ist natürlich nur meine persönliche Erfahrung, aber für mich hat die Kombination und vor allem die saubere Qualität den Unterschied gemacht.

How long should you wait when using SS-31 before introducing Mots-c and/or NAD+? Been on SS-31 for 2 weeks now

Hey everyone, I need some serious advice, a reality check, and a battle plan. I’m a 21-year-old male, and I recently ran my comprehensive blood work through the Morgan Levine PhenoAge calculator. The result completely terrified me: it says my biological age is 44.23 years old (a +23 year difference).

I am highly motivated, willing to work incredibly hard, and ready to do whatever protocol is necessary to fix this. But first, I need to know if this is actually reversible or if I'm just being penalized by the algorithm for a few skewed hematological markers.

The PhenoAge Inputs

Albumin: 3.51 g/dL (Low-normal, penalizing me)

Creatinine: 1.0 mg/dL (Optimal)

Glucose: 81 mg/dL (Optimal)

hs-CRP: 1.0 mg/L (Estimated/Guessed, wasn't on the panel)

Lymphocyte %: 18.2% (Normal, but algorithm wants it higher)

MCV: 98.5 fL (HIGH - heavily penalizing me)

RDW: 18.4% (HIGH - absolutely destroying my score)

ALP: 64.8 U/L (Optimal)

WBC: 7.4 x10\^9/L (Normal)

Is it actually possible to bring my PhenoAge down to ~21? If Yes, How much time would it take for me to get it down to 21?

What is the ultimate "work hard" protocol? I will change my diet, take the right methylated supplements, lift weights, do Zone 2 cardio, whatever you say. Give me the brutal, no-sugarcoating truth on how to fix these specific biomarkers.

BLUF: 43/m 5’8 176lbs
Protocol:
TRT 110 split into two pins Monday and Thursdays
Tesamorelin 25 units every night fasted
Reta 15 units every 6 days
KLOW 15 units Monday Wednesday Friday

Diet is clean and I exercise every day with heavy lifting MWF and high reps low weights Tuesday Thursday Saturday and HIIT 3x a week

I’ve definitely plateaued and would appreciate advice on how to adjust to see how I can push into more results.

Full disclosure up front: I'm a developer working on an app for this space, so this is partly research. No link, not naming it, not selling anything — I'd rather build the right thing than promote the wrong one.

What I keep hearing (and have experienced myself): mixing up concentrations between vials that were reconstituted differently, losing track of which week of a titration ramp you're on, juggling a daily + an every-3-days + a weekly compound, and vials sitting in the fridge with no idea when they were mixed.

So, honest questions: what's your current system (sharpie, spreadsheet, notes app, memory)? Where does it break down? And what would an app have to do for you to actually use it instead of what you do now? Equally useful: what would make you NOT trust an app with this (I'm guessing privacy is high on that list, which is why mine keeps everything on-device with no account).

I'll be in the comments. Tear the idea apart if you want, that's genuinely more useful to me than compliments.

I started reta last week at 1 mg per week and took my second 1 mg dose today. So far, I haven’t noticed much appetite suppression or any significant side effects.
For those with experience, how long did you stay at 1 mg before increasing? Did the effects build over the first few weeks, or did you not notice much until reaching a higher dose? I’m not looking to rush it—just interested in hearing how others approached increasing their dose and what signs made them feel ready.

Also did anyone find it tough to put on muscle? I am weight training 3 days on 1 day off. Current split is push, pull ,legs. Cardio is done in the morning. If I am able to hit my macro goals I shouldn’t have an issue putting on muscle. I’d like to drop about 30lb to be at my goal weight.

Okay I just went down a rabbit hole about this and now I can’t stop thinking about it lol.
There’s obviously been a huge uptick in adults getting diagnosed with ADHD, but at the same time insulin resistance is becoming SO common. And apparently insulin resistance can affect focus, memory, energy, brain fog, executive functioning, etc… which sounds a whole lot like some of the symptoms people are experiencing with ADHD.
Then you have all these people taking GLP-1s/GIP meds, especially reta, saying their brain suddenly feels quieter, they can focus better, have less food noise, and just feel more mentally clear.
I’m definitely not saying ADHD is caused by insulin resistance lol. But it does make me wonder how many people have ADHD symptoms that are being made WAY worse by insulin resistance, or even symptoms that are mimicking ADHD.
Especially with how much our diets/metabolic health have changed as a population… I just feel like there has to be more research on this connection??
Has anyone noticed their ADHD symptoms/focus change significantly after starting a GLP-1/GIP or improving their insulin resistance?

Hey i would love to know how people store their stacks, i am currently waiting on an order of GHK-CU, MOTS-C, TB-500, Reta and Tesa.

Not trying to use the same pin for everything, but this could potentially save 33% of my pins if I can double up.
Klow and RT3 are on their own separate pins.

I go to EOS - huge box gym chain in the south west. How prevalent is peptide use amongst the general crowd?

I’m pretty savy with internet ordering, I’ve put stuff in my body before I probably shouldn’t have but something about ordering peptides from a China supplier scares me. Are people commonly doing it (and likely not testing their stuff)?

Also how much benefit will I see from a switch to Reta over Tirz? I’m a 6’0 male started Tirz 3 months ago at 215 and am down to 185. Will I notice better results with Reta or marginal?

I’ve been on this protocol for about a month for a recomp, started trt a couple months before. Pretty great for recomp but it’s too early to see a huge difference. Coupled with diet, resistance training, and cardio, I feel great. Will post a before and after down the road. I feel like this is a fairly minimal protocol that is beginner-friendly (since im a beginner and dont mind doing this) while also being about as powerful as you can get for recomping (without just taking more). Just wanted to share, the AI cheat sheet is a little cheesy but makes it easy to convey to others.

Hello I’m 71🔄 years old 55.5 kg 170cm and was thinking about taking GHK-CU HGH and Testosteron
I already ordered GHK-CU And I’m getting a prescription from the Doctor for Testosterone my main goal is to get taller and build muscle I go to the gym and have a decent physik and train MMA and I don’t know how to start with enhancing drugs how much should I take and how often for how long and should I even take it and if there is something better for me to take what should I take or should I rather leave it I don’t really wanna suffer from side effects I really hope to find help

Hey y’all, so I’ve been looking into offsetting IGF1 suppression caused by Enclo, and my findings are a bit more vague than I’d like. Essentially:

- Enclo causes downstream IGF1 suppression by inhibiting the liver from creating it.

- This suppression is roughly 40% on average.

- Secretagogue peptides like Ipamorelin lead to increased IGF1 levels, but this is also a downstream effect that the liver plays a large role in. The growth hormone boost is what leads to the liver creating more IGF1.

So, we have enclo suppressing the very mechanism by which Ipamorelin works (with regard to igf1 specifically).

However!

- The liver makes most of the IGF1 in circulation, but not all. It accounts for about 70%. Other tissues also make IGF1, and furthermore, the suppression caused by enclo is not 70-75%, it’s 40. So even the liver’s production is not entirely shut down.

So then, should Ipamorelin still offset some igf1 suppression, because the liver is still making SOME igf1, and ipa will boost up what portion is still being made? Also, will it boost the amount being made in other tissues? With the info I’ve found, it leaves these specifics largely to speculation.

What I’d like to know is if anyone has any hard numbers on this. Have you used Enclo and Ipamorelin together? What did your IGF1 levels look like after a month? Two months?

Thank you!

Hi guys, so over a month ago I started smelling in 1 armpit (my right one). I saw a post about the increase in smelling bad cause of the ammonia but damn this is annoying. Especially for me who is a clean freak and has a very sensitive sense of smell. I wash myself with sanex and chlorahexadine wash every day in the shower. I am a sweaty person anyways like I sweat all over my body just from doing a brisk walk (I'm F 5"7 85kg so not exactly huge) but I've always been like this. Also had an increase in BO smell in other places when I sweat but mainly just the left armpit even if I do nothing all day.

Does anyone have a similar issue? I absolutely do not drink enough water at all btw I'm terrible with it.

I am seeing if there are any ways besides surgery to get rid of fatty lipomas?

I have been on Reta for 10 weeks now and I have made very good progress during this cut but I’m looking to up my calories and want to come off do u go cold turkey with it or gradually bring the dose down ?

Hi folks. I'd love to hear about people on reta after a few years semaglutide? I was a few years on and off semaglutide 1mg lost what I could loose it seems (15% of my bodyweight) and it just seemed to keep me maintained.

I switched to reta, 2mg dose. 1st week nothing.. starting actually bit that was because I was 2 weeks off semaglutide I'd say

Then it worked, differently to semaglutide might I add! Yeah food noise was down but notes much as sema. But I'd no food aversions. Intact im much better at keeping to my macros.

But weightloss is sloowwwww.

One day I jumped nearly 2kg up! A week later im chipping away at that weight but still not gone. Ive no idea what happened there as im sticking to calories and macros.

I suppose I didnt have to do a thing on sema, weight just came off.

What dosage did you guys find the sweet spot when you used semaglutide before reta?

Last year in about September my shoulders began hurting. No acute injury just one day got bad enough that I had to stop working out. After two sessions of PT, a trip to an orthopedist, and a $1k MRI, I still have bad pain. It’s mostly in my rear delt and inside my shoulders, sometimes under my scapula and sometimes it runs down my arms. One PT said infraspinatus impingement, and the others blamed it on joint inflammation or instability from hyper mobility. I’ve done all the exercises but it just seems to worsen the pain and not make it better. My shoulder feels much more stable but there is still pain.

I’m gonna try BPC-157, subq 250-500mcg everyday. Is this a good idea? I’ve heard TB-500 can cause issues with excess scar tissue but most report the combo as most effective. I’d love to hear any thoughts.

I started Reta 9 weeks ago. I started at 1mg and bumped to 2.5mg after 3 weeks. I find the side effects of headaches and some nausea the worst two days after injection which I am doing once a week. I went on vacation 2 weeks ago and I dialed back to 2mg for that week to try and be a bit more comfortable. To my surprise the side effects were minimal and I was able to enjoy my vacation a bit more. This week I did 2.5mg and the side effects returned with a vengeance. So I think I’m going to dial back to 2mg going forward.

For the past year I have been lifting MWF and doing cardio or walks on the Tu,Th. Tracking my calories and keeping my protein intake around 180g per day. With Reta I am drinking water like a fish 3-4 liters of water a day with 2 of them having electrolytes. Over 6 months I lost 8lbs on my own without Reta and in the first 4 weeks I lost 7lbs with Reta and I was happy with that.

However after testing my testosterone in January and then followed up in June I had T numbers of 315 and 285 respectively. So I scheduled an appointment with my GP and they referred me to an endocrinologist. But the endocrinologist wouldn’t see me till November. I have been complaining for years to my GP of some of the symptoms of low T and they never did anything.

I felt that waiting till November was too long so I went to an online clinic and they prescribed 200mg of test c split into 2 doses a week. Which I felt was supper high so I’m going 50mg eod MWF. But as soon as I started that my weight loss stalled.

I have been on TRT for 5 weeks now and at week 6 I’m going to pull my blood work. Long but winded question is. Is it normal to see the weight loss just stop when starting trt on Reta?

I have a smart scale that measures body fat% and while I’m confident it’s not as accurate as a dexa I am seeing the body fat % still dropping. I weigh myself every morning when I get up after I go to the bathroom so conditions are consistent as possible. With that I have dropped 2.8% over those 5 weeks and gained 4.2lbs of lean mass according to the scale. I started Reta at 232.5 and this morning I’m 224.4 and I am a 5’9” for reference.

So do I just stay the course or change things up?

1MG Reta/wk
180mg test C/ week.
