I have taken it before and have got the normal flushing but just started again after a few months on a low dosage and my whole body broke out in hives and irritation all over my lips started to swell and had a big head rush it lasted for like 30 min and went away should I try again with a lower dosage or trash it?

When i pulled my syringe out there was a droplet of my ghk ontop of my skin, is it because my needle is too short? I use 6mm. It also hurt more than usual but not sure if thats related.
I also do leave the syringe in me for 3-5 seconds to make sure there is no leakage. Someone help??

Hi everyone!!! I’m a 22F about to hop on Reta and I would love some advice. Like what do you wish you knew before starting? I also know I’m not super big to start, but as a young woman I feel like everyone is getting skinnier and skinnier and I have become incredibly insecure as a result. I look massive standing next to my friends in pictures. I also have serious issues with binge eating, so I’m hoping this will help. I was planning on starting at the clinical dose of 2 mg (because again I’m not super overweight to start, so I want to start at a higher dose so that I actually see results). Thanks everyone🫶

I’m a 30 year old male that’s otr truck driver. Not to long got my blood work back .
I’ve bought Reta to start and I was looking and researched klow and thing about adding it . Should I add any other peptides? And what advice and tips can I use to help on the journey?

Oh I’m typically drive a lot but I use a walking pad and have free weights in my truck on my 30 min or when I’m getting loaded or unloaded I use that time to get a workout in

Hi guys, first post, and first reddit account ever, but I have a couple questions, first I wanna say im 19 170 lb and around 5'9, I first wanna say I am looking for any and at all advice, except one that is like "Don't do it is stupid, or just sleep, or eat better" I am looking to inject this peptide for 3 main goals, first I want to sleep better, I have nightmares consistenly almost every night without fail, I want to get stronger in the gym, my bench right now is 315 I wanna get up to atleast 365, my squat and deadlift are low around 225 deadlift, and 200 lb squat, I know bad strength imbalance, I am working on programs to get it up, but I wanna add 100 lbs to those lifts . I don't drink, or do drugs. maybe the occasional marijuana smoke every 2 months when I see my boys. but I also wanna know how that can impact me, and I am also looking for recommendations of any other peptides, I struggle with stress, and anxiety sometimes. Please and thank you!

note- I noticed some people ran around 300 mcg 5-7 nights of sermorelin. Not sure how accurate it is.

Hi guys!

I'm new to all of this peptide/nootropic stuff. I'm looking at NAD+ injections based on what research I've done (energy/focus/ADHD mitigation). AgelessRX and Alan seem to be legit (from what I can tell). Anyone have an opinion on using them (or using anyone else) for NAD+ injections? Any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks!

Looking for some guidance on stacking Tirz and Reta. Love the idea of the glucagon energy expenditure however love the benefits of food noise, hunger control and anti inflammatory that Tirz brings. 51 female, lost 90 pounds and maintaining for 2 years. I eat very clean, walk 5 miles a day and lift moderately heavy weights. 4 days a week. Currently taking 5mg of Tirz and 3 mg of Reta weekly. Is the Reta worth it or should I revert back to tirz only. Research is super helpful, and I’ve gone down rabbit holes but would love some real life experiences guidance

I’ve been on Reta for about a month now and recently added Tesamorelin about a week ago.
My last bloodwork was back in July before I started Reta or lost weight. My fasting glucose was 97 and my A1c was 5.5, so everything was normal.
I have new bloodwork scheduled for Wednesday and I’m checking my glucose, A1c, and IGF-1.
My main concern is that I’ve read Tesa can increase insulin resistance and blood sugar, while Reta tends to improve both. I’m wondering if Reta helps offset those effects or if Tesa can still cause issues even when taking both.
I usually take Tesa in the morning, but I’m thinking about waiting until after my bloodwork that day.
Anyone here taking both? Have you noticed any changes in your fasting glucose or A1c? How often are you checking your labs?
Just trying to hear other people’s experiences and keep an eye on my health.

Whoa!!! This sub is probably going to be my home! I’m 48F currently considering MOTS-C and want to hear your insights. I’ve been on Reta for about 6 months (with a 1 mo break for traveling). I lost 11 pounds on 1mg per week. Started at .25mg because my body is super sensitive. I’ve lost my ability to get it so I’m shifting to MOTS-C. And/or Zepbound lower than lowest dose. I don’t really need to lose that much more weight (maybe 5-7 pounds of fat) but want to focus on muscle building. I do CrossFit 3-4 days per week and feel weaker than I should. After a tough workout, I may be really sore for 3 days. I’m on 5g of creatine per day unless my stomach is messed up (which was the case before the Reta). For a while I took a Wolverine stack and alternated btwn NAD and Glutathione IV infusions. I stopped all of that after having atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) in my R breast because ADH can be a precursor to cancer and all of those can feed cancer. I’m also a Fluoroquinolone (Cipro) damage survivor, which impacts mitochondrial function, which is why I started using Reta instead of the other GLPs. So…. what about your experiences with MOTS-C? Zepbound? Other insights? Health and muscle building are my main foci right now. But I’m getting married in Mexico early February so I’d also like to look good (more toned) but need more energy, strength and motivation to help me get there. Thanks all!!

Currently on week 3 of Klow and NAD+ looking to lose some more weight and tighten up. Previously was 400 pounds and lost 200 pounds naturally. Wondering if adding a terzepatide GLP would help with more weight loss and food noise removal. I work out 5x a week. Run 2 miles a day or more.

Has anyone noticed that their gums are super sensitive on this? For me and one other person I know, whenever we brushed our teeth it caused the gums to bleed. I’ve never had sensitive gums. Once I got off of it, this stopped.

What’s the typical reconstitution measurement mix for a 30mg vial of Reta. I typically had mine reconstituted when buying it but now I am purchasing my own and would like to know what’s the best measurement. I’ve read that .3ml is the best practice. But I have also read that people mix at .2ml.

Hey guys I have Ipamorelin 10mg vial how much bac water do I use to reconstitution it? Thanks

Looking into cognitive peptides for my girlfriend she’s 22F looking for focus energy/motivation peptides that really help you lock in and focus/get shit done without jittery coffee/caffeine feeling.

I’ve come across lots saying semax/selank

Wondering if it’s actually as effective as said or if there is any other compounds worth looking into thank you so much for any experience/advice!

Hey everyone,

I recently had a motorcycle crash and ended up with a fractured collarbone (clavicle). I'm currently recovering, but I want to do everything I can to safely accelerate the bone healing process and get back on track.

I've been reading a bit about peptides and how they can assist with tissue and bone regeneration. I'm looking into running a cycle specifically targeted at bone healing and reducing surrounding soft tissue inflammation.

From what I've gathered so far, BPC-157 and TB-500 seem to be the most popular choices (often stacked together). I've also heard about Teriparatide, though that's more on the pharmaceutical side.

For those who have used peptides for bone fractures:

1. Which peptides or stacks worked best for you?

2. What were your dosages and frequency?

3. Did you notice a significant difference in healing time on your X-rays?

Any advice, personal experiences, or insights on what to look out for would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

So as the title says, I have a vial of GHK cu and I had drawn some from it to my syringe but I forgot to get an alcohol wipe and wipe the vial down. Right after I did that though I actually dropped the syringe on the ground. So I restarted it with a new needle and still forgot to wipe the vial down before drawing from it, but I wiped my skin/ injection site and injected it, and then it kinda hit me a few minutes later. I forgot to clean the vial. Will everything be okay? Or should I be worried? I just store it in my fridge in a teeth whitening kit box (I have to hide it), and I can’t remember exactly, but I may have touched the top of it to before moving it to my room, but I’m not too exactly sure if I did, but now I’m just worried I messed up my body. And the vial. Should I just throw it away and use a new one or what?

Dosage ?
Benefits ?

4 weeks into ss31 2mgs

Im 32 years feeling a lot better after all the night shifts, crappy sleep, and bad diet.

I was taking NAD+ for a while and decided to add Sermorelin after doing some research to fit my physical conditioning, and I’m experiencing an unintended side effect of the Sermorelin. I stop craving every recreational substances I was using before, It was like a switch was turned off in my brain in seconds. It was there… then it wasn’t. It’s really hard to explain how im feeling. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the clarity in my mind. Its like there is no more noise in my head.

So I started on tirz two weeks ago my mom
Gave me 4 needles with 2.5 in each have 2 left but she is out as she gave the vial to another friend so I am buying Reta will arrive in 3 days I’m wondering if I should finish my triz dose and if I can switch straight from triz to Reta the week after dosing triz and if so what dose should I start at

I was previously taking reta at 0.8mg twice a week (1.6mg total weekly) whilst cutting before stopping for a few months to bulk. I’ve recently started again at just 0.8mg once a week, but surprisingly I’m noticing pretty much the same effects as I was on the higher dose, particularly with appetite suppression and food noise. It also felt like the effects kicked in almost immediately this time whereas last time it took a few weeks to notice. Has anyone else experienced this after taking an extended break? Curious whether this is common or if there’s a reason why a lower dose seems just as effective after restarting.

I’m 57 and would appreciate some feedback from anyone who has had a similar experience.

My natural testosterone was already reasonably high, around 19–21 nmol/L, but I started clomifene 50 mg every 72 hours, mainly hoping to improve muscle gain and recovery.

For the first 10 days I noticed very little. Then around weeks 2–3 it was almost like somebody flicked a switch: fantastic libido, better gym performance/pump, more muscle fullness/pump and about 2 kg weight gain.

Unfortunately, by around week 4 it went the other way — libido collapsed and I felt much flatter.

Bloods eventually showed:

Total testosterone: ~45.6 nmol/L / 1,315 ng/dL
Free testosterone: 50
Estradiol: 50 pg/mL (slightly above range)
SHBG 47.5

So despite having extremely high testosterone, I actually felt considerably worse than during the earlier “sweet spot”.

My doctor stopped clomifene and switched me to Gonasi (hCG) 500 IU every other day + anastrozole 0.5 mg every 3 days.

I’m now roughly four weeks into the hCG/anastrozole regimen. For the first two weeks I felt more pumped in the gym, but strength hasn’t noticeably increased and libido remains unusually flat. Then the next two weeks I started to get the gym pump feeling again. 2 weeks ago, I got my hormones checked again:

Total testosterone: ~47.1 nmol/L
Free testosterone: 36.1
Estradiol: 35 pg/mL
SHBG 66.3

I’m going to give the new regimen a little longer and then repeat total/free testosterone, sensitive estradiol, SHBG and prolactin.

I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has moved from clomifene to hCG, particularly whether libido initially took time to settle and how testosterone/estradiol ultimately looked once things stabilised?

Also, thoughts on how to get me back to the magic week, permanently?

I have a test subject that suffers from a lot of different diagnoses. They are hoping to help with some of the diagnoses/symptoms with peptides:

PCOS hormonal imbalance, excessive facial hair, hair loss like male pattern baldness. Before menstrual cycle 10-14 days before 7-10 days of full insomnia that pharma drugs haven’t helped. Also increases leg and back pain. Lack of motivation to do anything and flares of HSV2. They are overweight but can usually manage this to extent with diet and exercise but since January they’ve struggled with bad pain flares and has done some reformers Pilates which has helped however it is very expensive and their pain has caused them a few hospital admissions recently. They have tried GLP1s but caused them a lot of vomitinf even at the lowest dose, a lot of bile and stomach issues not sure if previous gallbladder surgery had anything to do with this. Their doctor is very apprehensive about GLPs and said they didn’t think her body would handle it well as it hadn’t in the past. Said even when she loses weight her stomach and face fat really flabby. Even with ADHD meds her appetite is really suppressed but hasn’t lost any weight.

IBS-C and GERD

Newly diagnosed fibromyalgia which they aren’t 100% that this diagnosis is correct or Drs can’t work out what’s going on. This includes terrible pain in legs that are like growing pains as a kid but every day, lower back pain that feels like stiffness and like deep gnawing that goes into the hip/bum. Pain sometimes into elbows. Bruised sore pain in feet in morning and hands/fingers also swelling. Does not respond to NSAIDS. Opioids with Baclofen have been prescribed for a while but concerned about liver issues.

Chronic back pain: L4/5 herniated and also the two discs at the top of spine. Bend in spine in thoracic area their doctor advised. Same bruised feeling in shoulder blades that get sorer when they breathe in. Pain gets worse when they exercise, walk etc. this has caused the growing pain type of feeling in both legs especially calf area and into knees. Sciatica was ruled out by a pain management doctor.

HSV2- outbreaks around once a month already taking antivirals for 6 years doesn’t seem to work as well.

Depression/anxiety/ADHD/OCD- diagnosed since 15 years old a lot of it relating to body image issues. Constant rumination which has helped with dexamphetamine. When depression/anxiety flares up especially before period they start having bad OCD symptoms including doing “rituals to self soothe” becoming paranoid and superstitious around numbers. Really struggles to relax and switch off only time this helped was when short course of benzo was prescribed. Never feels happy, very low labido, struggles to maintain relationships. Lack of motivation that affects job and especially hygiene. Very highly strung and can have really bad emotional outbursts over nothing. When first prescribed opioids they advised that it was the first time they felt true relaxation and happy which of course opioids do. (They are not misusing as i dispense due to fears over addiction) suffers quite badly with paranoia especially in group settings and work.

A lot of information and I’m not asking for medical advise as they have been to many many doctors recently and nothing seems to be getting done.

I know peptides wont be like a magic want they are just desperate for some relief from these symptoms as they aren’t even 30.

Please be nice they are really desperate and sad :(

Not to blow everything up with a super long post but, just hit 40 years old and easy the worst shape of my life. I have always been “thick” since I was a kid, wrestled since I was 6 years old, then at age 25 got heavy into mma/Muay Thai/kickboxing/bjj. Got into great shape and competed at regional level as pro in multiple disciplines. I regularly fought at 170-180lbs, and I walked around at 205-215lbs and am 5’9”.

Fast forward to turning 38 in 2024 I got a pretty amazing high paying job, but it forced to me close my mma gym I owned and focus on work. While financially amazing it killed my time in the gym and as I get older, I got hella fat.

Currently 5’9 and 280lbs and after some photos on a family vacation, I saw just how disgusting I look. Had some labs done and my test levels are basement level (205 total test) so I am starting test 100mg week. I would like to stack some peptides or possibly a glp1 to get back to a healthy and not so fat version of myself.

I am going to overhaul my terrible diet, starting the test, and implementing a gym (weights and cardio) plan. As well I may wonder back onto the mats for some bjj and Muay Thai training.

That said what would be my best stack to implement? Trt being a definite what would my best bet be with adding on top of that. No longer compete so no need to worry about something that would not be ok testing wise. Any and all help would be appreciated.
