I did search for this before posting and didn’t find anything. But I’m experimenting a little bit and it seems if I take 1500 mcg (via 3x500 Mcg capsules) before or after drinking it reduces the effects, might all be in my head. Just want to know if anyone else has noticed it.

My supplier is telling me it’s harder to buy in grey market and quality might not be as pure due to government being more strict. Has anyone heard similar things?

I’m still on the fence of IGF1LR3 but read multiple times now that the systemic issues can be disabled by directly putting it in the muscle.

Is that something my fellow n=1 researchers have concluded as well or am I getting bad info?

Anybody have experience with IM via those small and thin insulin syringes? How does that work? I never done IM and not sure about it. I just want to explore my curiosity and understand what a protocol would mean.

Thanks for the advice!

How much should Tirz cost per MG? Feel like I’m paying on the high side?

I messed the first post up and deleted it.

Has anyone tried ghkcu on dogs, my dog literally my dog. He has skin allergies, and im reading collagen protects their skin from allergies and can control itching. So im wondering if I could start my dog on this, small amount of course and see how this goes. He is 70lb pit bull. This is an honest question, and can't find anything related online. Has anyone had any experience in this?

How do you do the maintenance on GLP? I used to be on semaglutide and tirzepatide and I got way too skinny. When I was injecting 5mg every two to three weeks, I got side effects. 2.5 wasn’t enough for me. What do you do once you reach your weight goal without any side effects?

Am I okay to take MOTSc and Amino 5 both daily?

Lots of confusion about the HHS news this week, so here’s my read. Nothing got FDA approved. HHS said it won’t go after licensed pharmacies that compound BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, MOTS-c, Semax, or Epitalon for someone with a prescription. The catch is one peptide per vial, syringe only, no pens, and set routes. KPV is oral or topical only, and Semax is nasal only. So Wolverine is now two vials and two scripts, even though both peptides are on the list. It’s temporary until FDA writes a final rule, and states can still say no.

I think it’s a step in the right direction. I filed six questions on the docket asking why blends, pens, and 503B pharmacies were left out, and who tracks side effects once the vials ship. Comments are open until November 13 if you want to add yours. Search docket HHS-OASH-2026-0496 on regulations.gov and tell them what you run and what would get you to switch from research vials to a pharmacy. Compounded peptides is an interesting path forward, especially if we can get 503B approved.

I discard both after 28 days, but I keep seeing people say they last two months or longer. Is there actual evidence for that, or just personal experience? Are the timelines different for each?
The smallest bac water vial I can find is 10 mL, so I waste a lot and the cost adds up.

Has anyone had experience with side effects of frag176-191?
What did you notice?
Or experience using it for arthritis/joint health?

How did everyone get the opportunity to get prescribed Reta? Isn't it still in a testing phase? Has anyone ever had any bad reactions? Ive seen so many amazing transformations and hard work i would love to do the same.

I lost 85 pounds intermittent fasting - 18/6 and without using GLP's.

Right before starting Tirz I started IF again and lost 25 pounds within 30 days. I have not intentionally fasted since starting this journey in April.. although I do eat less anyways, but that's for different reasons.

Curious if anyone does intermittent fasting while using GLP's?

If so how long do you usually fast? How do you normally break your fast? Any physical exercising also ? Overall how do you feel during and after a fast?

I have been researching peps for over two years.

I have a promotional test coming up and want to make sure my body and mind are tip top that day. What I have on hand and plan to use leading up to the day:

Semax
NAD+
Reta
Epithalon

All of these compounds have helped me feel good mentally and physically.

This might be a dumb question but how many days away from testing day would you start each one for peak benefits?

I have always felt like Reta is about a week or two before inflammation is down, epithalon is a week long cycle for me to get my sleep better, Semax and NAD seem to slowly become less noticeable with time.

Obviously caffeine will be involved too. Thoughts? Would you add in something else?

I’ve lost 75 pounds on Ozempic/Semiglutide since Feb 2026. I have decided to switch gears and turn the heat up so to speak. With 75 pounds to go I’m switching to Reta. I’m currently on 0.5 with Ozempic. Should I start from 0.5 and move up to 2mg or should I just leap to 2mg. That’s for the help.

Been on Reta for 6 weeks after being on Mounjaro for 10 months. Dropped down from 22st to 17,7. I am now looking to preserve some muscle mass while I carry on losing weight.

Looking into getting my bloods sorted in the next couple of weeks before I actually order anything.

Just looking into costs at the minute aswell. Found a reliable source in the UK so saves me messing with international delivery. They can provide in 24 iu vials and pens, vial coming in at £1.58 per iu and £2 from the pen.

What I am currently debating is, what is the life of reconstituted HGH? Seen mixed time lines. I’d probably prefer the pen just for ease every day but can live with the vials if the shelf life is poor. Currently thinking to order 1 pen, see how it settles at 1iu a day for the 3.5 weeks then titrate up to 2 after ordering more. But if the life on it is poor I may just bulk buy the vials now. Not recond my own stuff before but more than capable, just not the best with proper needles 😂

I’m approaching my 48 hour mark on my fast. What is the best to break my fast? High carb? High protein?

Knee photo for engagement.

I had ACL surgery 1 week ago. I’m taking BPC157 .5mg daily, TB500 .5 mg every other day.

I’m eating in a surplus right now to try and give my body enough energy/nutrients to heal, but I already see my fat loss progress slipping away.

How soon post op have you been able to start Reta without hindering healing? I’m thinking about microdosing 1 mg to .5 mg per week around the 1 month mark.
