Looking for advice for myself and my partner.

I 30/F am about 5’6” and 135-140lbs. I’m what you would call “skinny fat”. A depressive episode caused me to lose muscle and gain not really weight; but a lot of fat. I’m looking for something to use along with resuming exercise and a healthy diet for body recomposition and lean muscle. I want to “tone up”. Bonus benefits for myself would be something for energy, mood, skin and hair. I want to jumpstart my journey to help with consistency and also seeing results obviously makes it easier to stick with it when you’re struggling.

My partner 32/F is about 5’11 and 240lbs and has PCOS. She’s tried Reta for about 2 weeks without ANY results but also no side effects either. She’s looking for something to stack that will help her lose the stubborn fat around her midsection and help with overall food noise, cravings, and weight loss. She would prefer to avoid GLP-1 but is open to it if it will help her get results. She’s looking to lose around 40lbs and then take over maintaining naturally.

If anyone has any advice for either one of us, guidance, etc it would be GREATLY appreciated.
I’ve done my own research and have TONS of notes but hearing someone who’s further down the road, people’s lived experiences etc will help me feel more comfortable and confident moving forward.

Please help!

Just wanted information about getting started. I was looking to microdose Reta and topical ghk-cu. I wanted to hear any dos and donts and honestly any help or information is appreciated.

Hello

I've been in the gym on and off my whole life, but a little more serious now that i'm getting older. Been back this time for about 3 months and i've noticed that i'm recovering like crap and having to take off days in between so i can rest. I'm getting roughly 35 minutes of deep sleep on average, which is garbage. I've been on TRT for about six months and it's been good so far. All my test results are on point, and so is my diet. When i started, i was very close to 300 pounds, and i'm down to roughly 275 now. I eat a mostly whole food diet at around 2500 calories daily. I pin the TRT in the morning, daily as i've researched this to be the best delivery for constant test blood levels and am looking at adding CJC 1295 (no dac)/Ipa stack for recovery and deep sleep improvements.

Should i? Constructive criticism and advise welcome.

If the sellers post has "for research purposes only ", does it mean I can't use it on myself? Most of the peptide seller I saw here in NZ has that disclaimer.

I am about to start reta and I just wanted to know if there are certain times of the day / days of the week you recommend for the weekly shot. Also, is there any specific injection area of your stomach you’ve found the most effective that you’d recommend?

Hey so I’m 22 , I weigh about 61kg and my usual lean weight was about 54kg . It’s annoying but pcos doesn’t let me get back to my original form and I’ve tried everything ( 1 year + ) . So I have booked Vaser lipo 360 to get rid of my love handle flanks , my small pouch and just focus on my mid section as that’s where I carry most weight and I have a natural hour glass figure . I’m hoping to hop on at least a 0.5-1mg dose per week 8 weeks post op . For leaner maintenance of my excess arm and thigh fat fairly . Has anyone tried Reta post op ? And can I get advice on what dose and how many days break I should do

Hey everyone,

Is there any info on reconstituting a 60mg vial with Bac Water???

I’m currently taking retatrutide once weekly and injectable GHK-Cu daily.

My doses have been:

Retatrutide: 1 mg during week 1, then 1.5 mg during weeks 2 and 3
GHK-Cu: 1 mg every day for the past 4 days

Last night, I smoked weed and then took a shower. While showering, my skin felt unusually sensitive and uncomfortable. I couldn’t scrub with my exfoliator because it made my skin feel extremely weird.

A little later, I suddenly became very lightheaded and dizzy. My vision started going black in a strange, pulsing pattern, and I felt like I was fighting not to pass out. I don’t remember the moment clearly, but I believe I fell or hit something because I ended up with a cut beside my eye. I had to rest my head on the sink and close my eyes for around 10 minutes before I felt normal again.

I feel okay now and I’m getting my eye checked by a doctor, but I’m wondering whether anyone has experienced severe skin sensitivity, dizziness, or near-fainting while using retatrutide or GHK-Cu. Could the combination of the peptides, weed, and a shower have caused this?

I’m not assuming the retatrutide caused it, because it could’ve been the weed, but I’m concerned that increasing from 1 mg to 1.5 mg after only one week may have contributed.

Hey, I started Reta about a year ago and lost a good amount of body fat. My problem is that after I got lean enough, I stopped taking it. After that I gained some weight back because I started eating more, which wasn’t a problem at the time. But now I want to start again because I’ve gotten a little bit fat again, and I don’t know what dosing I should start with. I began with the same dose I ended on and didn’t feel anything, so I did some research and found that I had taken too much and my body couldn’t process it. I’ve now taken a 4-week break, but I don’t know which dose I should start at.

Does anyone take KLOW and add'l GHK Cu separately? I added KLOW to my stack but have more than half a vial of good quality GHK Cu left and wonder if there is any harm in finishing it out while also taking 3MG KLOW daily

What do you guys think, what would be the ideal Pinealon protocol?

I am about to start Epitalon following the typical 10/20 setup (10 days on, 20 days off at 100–500mcg/day), and I was wondering if Pinealon can or should be run using that exact same structure.

Since both are bioregulators (and Khavinson peptides), I’m curious if cycling it 10 days on / 20 days off at a similar dosage range makes sense, or if a longer/different protocol is typically preferred for Pinealon's cognitive and neuroprotective effects.

I am wondering what do you think about it u/Doctordup2, do you have any experience with it or recommendations on dosing/duration for this specific bioregulator?

Appreciate any insight!

injecting 1.5mg weekly. morning after - i wake up with a roughly 2 inch by 1 inch raised red spot around the base of injection site. its raised and slightly sore to touch. it goes away after 48 hours.

i was wondering if anyone else may be able to relate, or if im possibly doing something that is playing in too account for this?

all feedback is appreciated!

i want to get into peptides because i have such trouble just getting out of bed or even paying attention to someone in conversation. i sleep 7-8 hours every night i get sun because of my job and i do get enough cardio (i think so atleast) but i still feel like shit and im only 18. i wanna hop on something because i dont feel like even going to the gym most days, ive heard of MOTS-C, semax, sermorelin, and selank. but i dont know if you can even stack those together can anyone give me any stacks for my situation?

So I'm starting the Pep research and just wanted clarification on dosage & frequency.

33 Male with knee meniscus and cartilage damage, looking to target some of those daily pains and discomforts. As stated I'm jumping into the BPC-157 & TB-500 blend, probably go for an 8 week cycle then assess.

Just wanted some clarification on dosage and frequency. Some sources say 500-2,000mcg for this sort of injury, 1-2 times a day for 6-12 weeks. This being my first injection should I also start with a lower dose over the first 1-2 weeks? Also trying to guage how much BAC water?

Additionally if anyone else has got these sort of injuries and treatments how they also incorporated physical exercise/recovery into their regime?
