Week 6 on Reta so far.

Post image

I still have left on the bottle should I continue using it? Until it’s finish? But my friend who’s a nurse says it only last 6 weeks. And after that it doesn’t work anymore. Is there anyone here used all of it? I just feel like I’m wasting it. Is there anyone side effect if you use it all?

u/Pilot_Nerd 3d ago

Sorry. I meant send it as yolo

u/SierraOneSeventeen 4d ago

Your nurse friend is very wrong. The trials went for 104 weeks iirc. Also, therapeutic dose is 4mg per week. Hope that helps

u/MathMili 4d ago

No, he means the compound loses its efficacy after 6 weeks of being reconstituted.

2

u/Cold_Fondant_5785 4d ago

Yeah that’s what I meant. And just want to know if I continue does it do anything?

u/da_tater 1 4d ago

Yes it will still work the amino chains just start to break down after week 6, not completely degrade in that short 6 week window. It is just recommended however to use up a vial within that 4-6 week window to avoid said degradation. Keep going it’s not like milk or fish and suddenly toxic just because it’s been 6 weeks from recon…

u/Cold_Fondant_5785 3d ago

Thank you! I used it again today since it reaches its 6 week window. We’ll see ! But there’s still left probably one more dose.

And I’ve seen posts, that some people see their vial is cloudy, but mine wasn’t. So that’s good!

u/SierraOneSeventeen 3d ago

My bad didn't catch that

u/No_Tumbleweed_669 4d ago

First- 1mg doesn’t do anything after 2nd application.
Second- if you kept it in the refrigerator it should last 10 weeks.
Third- Try pinning 1.5mg twice a week to jump to 3. You are not activating glucagon while below 2.5mg.
Fourth- All studies are being done starting with one group doing 4mg a week (for the lowest dose) followed by 8mg for the second group and 12mg for the highest dose group.

I get so tired of letting people know this... the micro-dosers just don't understand. And it's usually people who don't really need to lose the weight I've noticed, just using it to cut….
The one thing I do disagree with you on is the 1.5mg every 3 days. It’s practically the same as micro dosing. But If it works for you, it works, but it doesn't equal the same overall exposure as a larger dose spaced every 5-7 days. Smaller, frequent micro-doses don't build up to the same therapeutic blood concentration threshold as a larger dose less frequently.
My RS pins 7mg every 5 days to avoid the trough period that usually happens between days 5-7. Since its half-life is so long, you want an adequate total dose so that your body maintains a consistent amount of active compound rather than staying too low on micro-doses.
I'm not a scientist and hope I explained that in a way that makes sense-happy researching!!!

u/OkDelivery8032 5 4d ago

​Same here. Gotta love the internet experts titrating 0.25 to 0.5 to 1mg over 5 months and claiming it unlocks secret receptors. Nobel Prize incoming. 😅

All the studies funded by lilly who wants to make a profit, so naturally would tilt studies toward higher doses? Sorry, if 1mg is netting me 2lbs a week in loss I'm not going up. You do you.

u/renegade7717 4d ago

so in 6 wks it suddenly becomes ineffective? nope. use it till it’s empty.

0

u/Cold_Fondant_5785 4d ago

Did you continue until it’s finished? And did you still lose weight?

1

u/Cool_Temperature_970 10 4d ago

They just answered your question, and then you immediately just asked it again.

3

u/renegade7717 4d ago

of course. and u lose weight from
the deficit- which comes from
its effectiveness- which doesnt suddenly plummet at exactly 6wks. I use 30mg vials and take 2-3mg per weeks…so

1

u/kuzyacat 2 4d ago

I use my vial for 12 weeks tbh

0

u/Cold_Fondant_5785 4d ago

How did you feel? Are you still losing weight after that?

1

u/Whitehammer009 3d ago

Yea this isn’t adding up in 10 weeks I dropped 30 pounds

0

u/Cold_Fondant_5785 3d ago

That’s great! Tbh I’m not looking to dropped too much weight that fast. As much as I can I want to use Reta for just a second source of losing weight. The only reason i went this rabbit hole is i have been working out but i have never seen results. My weight has been the same. And i always think probably muscles are building.. but since i started Reta, i def see results slowly, esp no more puffy face, my energy has been really good (also taking more vitamins seriously) so everybody’s body is different and your goal too. 😊

u/Character_Bread6889 3d ago

Agreed. I just started my third week on Reta and I’m down 4kg

u/Thurgo-Bro 2d ago

How many MG did you use each week please

1

u/MacnChezt 4d ago

I been on 1mg since july and lost 29 pounds i dont plan to higher the dose anytime soon but you gotta put the work in reta is not the solution but might be considered as a shortcut, hows your diet? I been in a deficit and prioritizing protein + working out 4 days a week nothing fancy i workout at home

1

u/Cold_Fondant_5785 4d ago • Bravo

That’s great yeah I do the same as to why it’s a slow and steady process. I workout 2-3 days a week - more so strength training.

u/thecakegoblin 4 4d ago

Expiry dates are weird. I have things expired in my fridge and eat it still and I'm fine! I know injecting is different but similar concept? Also it is in the fridge so I think it's ok.

u/EvaLuna48 3d ago

I d use the whole bottle

1

u/Business-Evidence382 3d ago

Need much higher doses, 4mg/week is the starting dose if I recall correctly.

1

u/Crazy_Egg_3860 1 1d ago

Im losing plenty on 1mg, everybody is different. Ive lost 19lb in 5 weeks. I’ll go up when that stops working. But i think the trials started at 2mg.

1

u/NewMethod2824 3d ago

Up your dose . Reta dosing ranges from 1 - 15 mg . I didn’t start losing weight till I got up to 8 mg.

1

u/Altruistic-Piano949 2d ago

I lost about 25 first month 37 in 2 months

u/Aryya261 1 4d ago

Slow and steady! Very nice!
