Currently on Reta running 1mg every 3 days, working well. Been on Reta for around 3 months now and had good results but recently my motivation and effort in the gym has took a big hit. Find myself sleeping longer as well from 8-9 hours to 10-12 hours. So my energy levels have definitely been affected, assuming because of the deficit from reta.

I’m considering a few compounds but not yet decided. For more context I am 26M.

Compounds considering
NAD+
Mots-c
5 amino
SS-31

I’m unsure whether I need the SS-31 as I am 26 so not sure if my mitochondria will be that damaged. But I would rather make sure I am getting the full benefits of the other compounds.

Ideally looking to add NAD+ alongside Mots-c
Or 5 amino alongside Mots-c

And front running SS-31 for a couple of weeks if deemed necessary.

The Reta will be ran concurrently throughout. Dosing based off how I feel and not typical titrating schedules.

Was curious on people’s thoughts and what’s worked for them.

Thanks looking forward to hearing some advice.

EDIT:

I put on excessive weight through partying, being inactive and bad diet, my diet is fairly clean now compared to what it was. Started at 96.5kg, lost 7kg naturally, added Reta now at 83.7kg.

Current protocol I am considering is

Reta: 0.5mg every Monday and Thursday (doubling the dose every 4 weeks)

Then running these two for 8 weeks

Mots-c: 2mg Mon-Fri weekends off

NAD+: 25mg daily

New to peptides, let me know if I should change or add anything

As the title says I am currently on retatrutide.

Started on 0.5mg 2x a week for a month - worked well food noise was gone, and lost around 5kg in the first month.

Food noise slowly creeped back in so on the second month decided to do 0.75mg 2x a week, again worked well, food noise was controlled and could still eat when a plate was in front of me.

Starting month 3 I decided to do 1.5mg in one hit and was looking to continue injecting 1.5mg 1x a week, however this wrecked me - I could barely eat and the thought of food made me feel sick.

I have since had a two week break due to having a wisdom tooth out and a major tattoo.

I am looking to start Reta again on Monday and building back up from 0.5mg 2x a week.

In the 2 week break I have been doing some research and think that Mots-C or 5 amino could be a great addition alongside NAD+.

Just wanted to hear people’s thoughts/advice before jumping on the other compounds.

Current protocol I am considering is

Reta: 0.5mg every Monday and Thursday
Mots-c: 2mg Mon-Fri weekends off
NAD+: 20mg daily

For further information: I am 5ft 9, 85kg (down from 96.5kg), 26M around 23% BF

Resistance train 4/5 times a week (have lost strength)
Muay Thai 2x a week

And considering throwing in 2/3 5K runs in the evening throughout the week…

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
