Not sure on cycling. I just started. Plan is to run 2 weeks 3 days off 2 weeks and make a decision after that

Currently on day 10 of a Glo Stack. Only noticed a slight sting with one injection. I geel better than I have in a long time

---

so when you do these stacks like this...is it expected that you have to just keep doing it??

when you stop this Glo stack...do your tendons, tissues, skin, etc that benefit from it go back to normal???

My joint issues that went away haven't come back, I didn't see huge skin improvement, but that wasn't the goal anyway.

Got my blood work back today, comparing it to some numbers I got in December amidst my first ever gout flame-up.

I can't directly credit Retatrutide for the changes, as I'm making better food decisions, but it cleared out a lot of the food noise and gave me some room to build some better habits and make those better decisions. Very encouraged.

(Units are the Aussie standard, I don't know how they translate to US units)

Triglycerides: 5.2 -> 1.5
Fasting Glucose: 6.3 -> 4.5
ALT: 58 -> 39

HDL is still a little low and LDL is still a little high, but both numbers are markedly better than a couple of months ago. Lost about 30 pounds as well.

Nice. How long you been on it and what dose? I'm two weeks in at 0.5 every Monday and Thursday. Down 7 to 8 pounds. Food noise def gone and not snacking. I do like that I still get hunger cues but getting full much faster. It's tough getting protein amount in but I'm getting it or close each day. Think I'll get bloodwork done after 6 to 8 weeks or so

Where did both of you buy the reta from? Thinking about jumping in here.

Also, can you stack reta with ipa/tesa? Anything I need to worry about or be aware of if I were to go this route?

I had good luck with the Onyx Research recommendation on this thread.

Same answer as the previous questions about Reta and other peptides. Totally separate pathway, you can stack it with whatever peptide stack you want. Also, you don't really need to cycle off it as long as you keep your doses low.

How much protein should you be shooting for? Pretty sure I am falling short.

Should be 1 gram per pound of Lean Body Mass if you're cutting and don't want to lose muscle.

That's why a dexa scan is so beneficial.

Peptira for me. Would recommend

I currently weigh 215 and have been averaging getting in about 175 grams. Having to do a protein shake in the morning and late afternoon to even get there tho as I get full and stay full even on a super low dose of Reta.

Same

As far as suppliers go, if you're getting it as lypholized powder, it's coming from China, full stop. Any other label you see is just a reseller with a label gun. Even the US company that sells them "direct" also has a factory in…Shanghai.

Paying someone like Skye Peptides (just a random seller I know of in the states, I live in Australia) for the lypholized powder and reconstituting yourself is really just paying them to take on the customs risk for importing it in the first place.

For comparison to what the relabelers are charging, direct from China will cost you about $20 for 10mg of Retatrutide.

Just gotta know that going in if you're not getting it from a compounding pharmacy, and even then pretty much no compounding pharmacy is getting pharma-grade Retatrutide anymore.

If I was in the USA absolutely. Can't risk ordering direct from China to Australia, don't want to mess with my immigration status.

I need some help with the dosage for the Regeno Blend (10mg each BPC-157, TP-500, Cartalax). I have the 1mL syringes.

Me too! I just got it in the mail

Just doses right? You know how to reconstitute I'm guessing?

My recommendation would be 500mcg of each twice a day 5 days on 2 days off. Or you could do 1mg of each once a day.

BPC has a shorter half life so twice a day is best if you need some serious relief, but if you're not in major pain, you can just do once a day.

I'm running cartalax by itself right now for a minor joint tweak 2mg twice a week. But it's very minor. Already way better after 2 weeks. Just got back skiing pretty hard core and my issues are pretty much clear.

Random, but keep in mind you may pay a bit (a lot) more for US warehouse-shipped/labeled product vs. the same stuff on the grey market from China. It's all the same stuff; however, if you order grey and it gets held up in customs for inspection, if you have Global Entry, you risk getting that revoked without notice.

I've seen it happen multiple times (for grey mkt peps, tox, filler). For some, it may be worth a little higher cost to alleviate that risk. For my peps and tox, I order US warehouse shipped for this reason, even though I KNOW I'm paying quite the premium. In the whole scheme of things, it's still cheaper than paying someone else to administer the product (doc, medspa, etc.).

Sorry, forgot the first part of your post. I've been on it about 6 weeks (which means it's still really kicking in). Started off at 1mg, ended up all the way to 5mg, settled back at 4mg, dosed as 2mg twice per week. The half-life is 6 days, so dosing 2mg twice per week means there will usually be roughly 4.2mg at work in my system. My skin got sensitive with dosing 4mg at once, it's a bit better splitting the dose.

Currently on Tesamorelin (2mg/day, 5 days on 2 days off, mercy it's expensive and doesn't really start working until week 6 from what I told) and doing a cycle of SS-31 before starting MOTS-C. NAD+ just arrived, will be adding that as well.

I'm early in my Reta journey but I would absolutely stash some extra away if the price is right.

Can you tell me more about this Cartalax peptide?

I would be 100% in on stocking up on Reta

Dont have texags messaging but count me in.

I dont really need any because I have a few months worth left BUT I'd love to get a lot to store away for later since it'll start getting more and more difficult the closer it gets to being available by prescription

I tried on some suit jackets/blazers I had that were too small for Christmas and now they are wearable but slightly too big. A wonderful problem to have.

I would be in gor a group buy

Count me in on a group buy of reta too.

In on group buy of Reta as well

Same here.

I'm in. I did the Wolverine Stack last year for my knee and it worked like a charm.

I could tell you the whole story but it involves a lot of drama and a Rocky IV Montage.

What dosage protocol did you use? I've found inconsistent recommendations. My vial is 10mg bp157, 10 of tb500, 10 of cartalax. I added 2ml of BAC water. The jay campbell thing I saw said .1ml per day five days a week for 8 weeks. Wondering if that is right or too low? Moses above posted what looked like higher dosages. This is my first time with peptides.

I honestly don't remember. I don't think the dosage was as high as yours & I only used it for about a month. It was the MCL band on my knee that was bothering me. It was causing me problems in Jiu Jitsu but I also couldn't "rest" it like I should have because I had a tournament and a belt promotion coming up.

Once that was done I did the stack.

Where do you inject? Near the knee or into belly fat?

Thigh, near the knee.

Anyone have any experience or knowledge of peptides helping with arthritis? My mom is 63 and has it pretty badly in her feet and knees and I'd like to see if there is anything out there to help beyond traditional medicine.
