r/PeptidePathways

Hey guys! I’m looking into the peptide space but have some questions. If anyone in Australia is in here I’d love specific answers from you but also welcoming answers from all.

1. Given that peptides are for “research only” and are meant to be regulated, what happens if a package is taken in transit, are there any legal implications that would fall onto me? (Especially in Aus as I wonder if it may be a bit more strict)

2. What are important things to look out for when finding a supplier?

So I have been looking into peptides seriously for about a month now and I think im going to pull the trigger I just wanted to see if there is any advice anyone could give that I may not have seen on my searches! Anything is appreciated

Am I using the correct dosages?
Reta 20mg vial 2ml bac weekly
10 units done on 1ml syringe

Ghkcu 100mg vial 2.5ml bac
0.5 half of 10 (1ml syringe) Done

Mt1 10mg 1ml bac
0.25 on syringe done

I’ve been on a GLP-1 medication for eight weeks now and I’m still on the starter dose of 2.5 mg. So far, it has been working really well for me: I’m losing weight, I have much less food noise, and I find it easier to make healthier choices. I’m also going to the gym regularly, so overall I feel like things are moving in the right direction.

One thing I’ve noticed is that it seems to have reduced my alcohol intake too. I used to struggle with binge drinking, and compared with how I used to drink and behave on nights out, I would say my alcohol consumption has probably reduced by around 50%.

At first, it felt like the medication really took away the desire to drink. I just did not feel particularly interested in alcohol. But I’ve realised that when I’m out in certain social situations, there is still a learned habit there: ordering drinks, staying out late, and chasing that buzz. So it has helped, but it definitely has not completely switched that part of me off.

What has surprised and frustrated me is that although I am drinking less, the after-effects seem much worse. For example, last night I went out around midnight and stayed out until 5 a.m. Over those five hours, I had six standard drinks in total: two beers, one shot, one double gin and tonic, and one single gin and tonic.

I went to bed at 5 a.m. and woke up around 10:30 a.m. feeling extremely dizzy, still drunk, nauseous, exhausted, and with a really bad headache. I was so wiped out that I went back to sleep. I spent most of Saturday asleep or dozing on and off, briefly watching YouTube and then falling asleep again. I got up late in the afternoon to eat something, then went straight back to bed and slept through Saturday evening into Sunday.

It genuinely felt as though I had lost an entire day, even though I had only had six drinks. I was invited to a few things on Saturday and had to miss all of them because I felt so awful. It is strange because I am drinking much less than before, but it feels as though alcohol is affecting me far more strongly now.

Has anyone else experienced this on GLP-1 medication? I’m grateful that it has reduced my drinking, but part of me wishes it worked strongly enough that I simply did not want alcohol at all, or that I could comfortably stop after two or three drinks.

I also wonder whether a higher dose would help more with alcohol cravings. At the same time, 2.5 mg is already working for me in terms of weight loss and appetite, so I do not feel like I should increase it just for that reason.

Whats the solution im trying to get hgh

Is it normal that I feel like some days my skin looks great and other days I still experience dry patches, redness. I also still get occasional small breakout. I feel like I have only got more glowy skin? I’ve been taking it 5 days a week 2 days off for about 2 months

I’ve been on Reta since March and lost 12kjs
I’m down to 61kjs but I’d like to end up at 57kjs to have some wiggle room. I try to take as low dose as possible for as long as possible. I’m now on taking 2 which was upped last week and I’m beginning to feel more hungry, and can eat more. Someone said it’s because I’ve lost a lot of weight already and my body is trying to store the remaining fat. Is this normal? I love food but don’t want to end up back to where I was, I liked having less food noise and eating less😭

If u look them up separately- 2mg for glu / 500 mcg of BP and kpv / 700mcg of TB.

How can you achieve these ratios with the these blends

I know a lot of people are saying 7x testing is a scam but all pharma grade peps go through all these tests and more! I currently have a few over at ILS Lab but the comms are terrible. Thinking to try my next batch at Kovera. Any insight or suggestions?

Any good peptides for muscle building under a small calorie deficit?

Hello peep just want to know if the Color of 5Amino1MQ is Bright Orange just just got it

I’m wanting to test some tesa just for piece of mind and to verify my veodor. I know there’s lots of controversy on this topic but who should I use

Title

For example if a box of 10 vials of the same pep is ordered from a gray source, can one assume all vials contain the same purity as the 1 i send for testing?

My lab mouse purchased Triz and GHK from the gray market. So far, both the color and solubility appear normal (he’s learned the basics from various video tutorials). Should I send them to a third-party testing lab for confirmation? Which lab would be best?
