Just got a shipment of IGF1- LR3. I’ve never had it before and when reconstituting it all of them came out slightly cloudy. Probably shouldn’t take it but just double checking that it’s not supposed to come out this way. HGH on the right for comparison.
Note* Double checked, it’s not condensation either
Hi all,
I have been on reta for 3 months, love the results so far, but I'm finding a bit of a crush lately and anhedonia picking up a lot lately. I just want to give reta a break (although I know it's not ideal).
Given I have lost 12kgs, and not much muscle ok the way, I would love to switch to something that can help me with the body composition and get rid of some fat on love handles/belly...very stubborn fat I have been carrying since 12y/o.
My options are:
Tesa. I love what I read about it, but the needing of pinning every day 1mg makes it extra expensive (130 Aud for 10mg, so $13 a shot).
CJC + IPA. Seems like it does wonders but not sure about dosing, and looks like it's an every day pinning situation?
Mots, AOD, SRUP, AMINO 5mq...all I have heard of these is inconclusive with plenty of mixed reviews.
For reference, I don't want to do test or HGH straight.
Experience on any of these?
Hey guys, I started daily GHK-Cu about a month ago, and roughly 3 weeks ago I began Retatrutide.
My Reta protocol so far:
17.06: 0.5mg
22.06: 0.5mg
27.06: 1mg
02.07: 2mg
So far the effects have been very subtle – maybe slightly faster satiety, but I'm honestly not sure if that's the Reta or something else. Source is solid, same batch has been tested on both Janoshik and Finnrick with good results.
I know 3 weeks is still early and 2mg is considered the tolerance-building phase. But I'm curious:
Did others feel little to nothing in the first weeks?
When did you start noticing real effects?
At what dose did things really click for you?
For those who use cannabis alongside Reta – how has that affected your experience?
Would love to hear from people with similar starting experiences. 🙏
Hi, has anyone used KPV or uses KPV for any kind of autoimmune or inflammation in the body please let me know and let me know your reviews and opinions and thoughts!
I’m also on TRT but that was the case when I was fat too, the GLP-1’s and especially Reta and its glucogon interaction that changed everything for me
Good lord everybody, you know it’s possible to decide to shave your head? My balding is genetics related not from blasting gear.
I take TRT from a men’s health clinic, 280mg weekly monitored by blood tests every quarter. Supplemented with 4mg of Reta and 4mg of Tirz. Occasionally I’ll take Melanotan 2 when I’m feeling particularly annoyed by my Irish genes.
That’s the extent of my stack.
I have nobody to blame except my pasty bald ancestors for my balding dome. So don’t be scared off thinking you too will become afflicted lol
The community here sucks
I had a mommy makeover and a BBL on June 28. I’m thinking about starting TB-500, BPC-157, and GHK-Cu.
Has anyone here used these peptides after these surgeries? I’m worried they could lead to excessive collagen production, fibrosis, or negatively affect the fat graft survival or my scars.
I’d really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences. Thank you!
gained back my confidenceee and glowwww ✨✨

Hi Guys, I ran Tesamorelin for about 5 weeks and was starting to see some awesome results. Muscle fullness was great, I was sleeping well, my waist was trimming in quick.
The issue is week 5 I developed a full blown anaphylaxis responce to it and had to stop. Now I'm looking for alternatives but i'm nervous to try any other GHRH analogs given the past allergy.
Im looking at possibly mk677/Reta to see if I could get similiar results. Anyone have any luck with those or have any other suggestions?
Hey everyone,
I'm heading to Bali soon and want to bring my MT1 with me, but I know Indonesian customs do not mess around. I'm trying to figure out the actual reality on the ground and would love to hear from anyone who has actually done this or knows someone who has.
My current plan is to bring:
1x 10mg vial of MT1 (unmixed white powder, unlabelled, no prescription)
1x 3ml vial of BAC water
A few standard insulin needles
If you've traveled into Bali with MT1 or any peptides, I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience:
Format: Did you bring nasals or injectables?
State: Was it already pre-mixed, or did you bring the unmixed peptide + BAC water + needles like I’m planning?
Security/Customs: Did your bag get pulled or X-rayed on arrival? (Did you pack it in checked luggage or carry-on?)
The Outcome: Did you get stopped, searched, or questioned? If they found it, what actually happened?
Even if you haven't done it yourself but know a mate who has, please drop their story. Just trying to gauge if people are getting this through easily or if it's an absolute nightmare waiting to happen.
Cheers!
2025 (second pic) to 2026 was a journey for both of us. Yes a lot of peptides and anabolics were used. Stopped competitive bodybuilding 9 years ago and enjoyed life getting fat.
Weight loss
80lbs for me
35 lbs for her
Many thanks from me to my friends reta , motsc/ss31 Copious amounts tren , hgh , primo , masteron. Anadrol , t3 (in different cycles ofcourse)
Mrs on Retatrutide/ Tesofensine /hgh
I am 46 shes 40.
We are currently on elanoretide, great stuff.
Pleaae do not ask me for sources. As a retired source from bolex and meso days,I homebrew all my stuff. I am not putting anything in to my body that I do not trust and I dont operate with Janoshik Coas.
Diet is white fish and spinach 4x a day. Rest is wpi and caesinate.
Controlled amount of sweet potatoes.
Classic Kevin levrone dieting.
Now its time to blow up for sheru classic ifbb 2027. That pro card has gathered dust since 2010.
Currently on 30 units Lantus Insulin 15iu pharma hgh Test, Deca, Tri-Tren, caber.
Happy to share my experience with any women who are thinking about starting reta, or anyone who has questions about training, or the overall journey. When I first started, I had a lot of doubts and had to learn through trial and error, so I know how overwhelming it can feel in the beginning.
For some context, I started at 250 lbs around September 2025 and I'm currently 164 lbs as of June 2026 — a total loss of 86 lbs in 9 months.
My training split is 4 days a week:
Quads + Glutes
Push
Pull
Hamstrings + Glutes
I started on 1 mg reta, and the appetite suppression was noticeable fairly early on. Currently I'm at 5mg
One thing I'd say is not to compare your progress to the dramatic transformations you see online. I saw plenty of people losing weight much faster than I was, but everyone responds differently. Your results will depend on your diet, training, consistency, lifestyle, and how your body responds. As long as you're making steady progress, you're moving in the right direction.
Feel free to ask me any questions if you need help—I'm happy to share what I've learned. Just please, no creeps.
For all of you who have lost weight on creatine, how did you do it? What time of the day? What dose? Cardio?
I’m currently 229 pounds, 33% body fat but I’d like to drop body fat and try to maintain muscle. Should I take creatine?
Is creatine pretty much all the same? Or is there one that is better than the others?
Interested in taking Reta. When I (25M) started working out 4 years ago in the navy (got out 2 years ago this month) it was hard for me to eat a surplus. Now since I work nights primarily I find myself eating a bit more than maintenance. If I worked a regular schedule I would tuff it out with no food but I work 12 hrs from 5pm-5am. I usually pack my lunch, dinner, protein shake and a yogurt w my protein powder mixed in w fruit. The meals consists of chicken/ steak, cauliflower hash browns/protein pasta,veggies and cheese. But when I don’t have time to make anything I find myself door dashing cuz I can’t go the shift without eating.
I started at 120 four years ago. I’m 195-200 now. My core isn’t really developed and with working and school full time I can’t do cardio even tho I’d like to. That’s an extra 30 min I just don’t have time in my schedule for. I just look “big” not defined or lean but I do have some sizable muscle. I’d like to get my love handles under control.
I have a men’s health clinic near me so I wouldn’t be buying anything that’s online. I’ve heard Reta curves the appetite

down to post more photos, but i’m newer to reddit and tend to mess up my posts way too often lol
whatcha guys think?
Hi everyone,
I’m completely new to peptides and have been trying to learn as much as I can before I start anything. I’ve watched videos and read posts, but I’m still confused by a lot of the terminology and how people decide on dosing protocols.
Here’s what I currently have:
BPC-157 – 5 mg
GHK-Cu – 50 mg
Reta (GLP-3)– 5 mg
Kisspeptin – 10 mg
KPV – 10 mg
TB-500 – 5 mg
I also have:
Hospira 30 mL bacteriostatic water
U-100 1 mL/cc 30G 5/16” insulin syringes
Alcohol prep pads
For context, I’m a 20 something-year-old woman, 5’2”, and 265 lbs. My primary goal is weight loss, but I’m also interested in improving healing, reducing inflammation, and overall wellness.
I’m hoping those of you with experience can explain:
•How you would approach introducing these peptides instead of starting everything at once?
•How you decided on your own dosing protocols and target doses?
•How do you schedule injections throughout the week? What days on vs off? AM or PM?
Any beginner mistakes you wish you had avoided?
Any educational resources (guides, books, YouTube channels, or Reddit threads) that helped you understand peptide dosing and protocols?
I’m not looking for anyone to tell me to “just ask my doctor.” I’m trying to learn how experienced peptide users think through protocols and dosing so I can better understand the process before making any decisions.
I appreciate any advice or experiences you’re willing to share. Thanks in advanced!
Had great results with my last post so here we go again!
Being told by a local pep coach to just give my rat 1mg of SS31 for 10 days as a primer to mots-c. However, 90% of experiences I see are saying to take 5mg or even 10mg or more (with 10% supporting the 1mg / 10days approach). I double checked with my her and she doubled down and insisted I don’t need to flood the rats system and should follow her protocol.
It is also hella expensive so might go bankrupt doing 5mg or more per day hahah.. but money isn’t my main concern, just doing it properly.
Thoughts?
I thought I would jump on here to share my progress over the past couple years and show how powerful Reta and Tesa really is! I have been on a very strict meal plan and training program over the past 72 weeks where my calorie/macro and exercise variables have been controlled.
You'll see my major progress really kicked into gear after adding Reta and then even more so after adding Tesa!
I am open to any questions!! I feel like I've become somewhat knowledgeable over the past couple years so happy to help anyone in return, as this sub has helped me more than you could imagine.

Peptides:
- Reta - started at 0.5mg/week and VERY slowly worked up to 3.5mg/week now -- split into two doses per week
- Tesamorelin - 2mg every night 30 mins before bed -- fasted at least 2 hours before taking.
In between, I have also tried 12 week cycles of SS-31, MOTS-C, and BPC-157 with varying success that I mostly attribute to placebo if anything at all. Of those, I would say the SS-31 was the most effective for boosting my energy but not so much that I could objectively say it was the peptide and not some other variable.
Hope this helps! Fire over any questions if you have them!
Edit: My cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood glucose used to all be out of range and are all now within healthy ranges. My natural testosterone was also on the very low range of normal, now its in the mid-upper range which is a nice bonus! My doctor is very happy with my blood labs and so am I. I am 38 btw.
72 weeks is not 2 years as the title says, but I started to take control of my health exactly 2 years ago. But I didnt take any progress photos until I started with a coach in Feb 27. :)
I started Reta at 1mg/week for 2 weeks then went up to 2mg/week. Taking my fifth dose this week and have lost 7lbs so far. Not really feeling the appetite suppression or loss of food noise. Should I titrate up to 4mg this week or stay on 2?
Hey everyone,
Over the last 4 months, I’ve gone from 102 kg (225 lbs) to 85 kg (187 lbs).
I’m really happy with the progress, but I’m not at my goal yet. I still have fat to lose before I’m where I want to be.
I’ve never really been into sports or weightlifting, but I’m finally motivated to change that. My goal is to lose the remaining fat while building muscle and completely changing my body composition.
I’ve been using retatrutide at 2.5 mg, and I’ve never gone above that dose.
I’ve seen people mention stacking retatrutide with tesamorelin, but I’m also curious if there are other combinations people use for body recomposition. For those with experience, what combinations have actually worked well for reducing body fat while preserving or gaining muscle?
I’m not looking for a magic solution—I know training, nutrition, and consistency are the foundation. I’m just trying to learn what people with real experience have found effective.
Has anyone here started from a similar position—overweight, never really athletic—and managed to completely transform their physique? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences, what you would (or wouldn’t) do again, and any advice you’d give someone just starting this next phase.
Thanks!
