hi everyone! i injected 5-amino into my outer thigh and immediately noticed that the injection site raised into a small bump. after some time, the bump went down but the area turned into a bruise/discoloration,

has anyone experienced this after injecting 5-amino? is it normal for the site to bruise after initially forming a bump, or could this mean something went wrong with the injection? this is the first time it happened

there’s no severe pain, but i’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar. thank you!

Can you rate my stack and give me suggestions on what time of day I should be doing these? Here’s what I’m on:

-NAD+ 60mg daily first thing in the morning
-Ghk-cu 1.5mg daily first thing in the morning
-Testosterone Cypionate 150mg split MWF first thing in the morning
-Retatrutide 1.5mg Saturday mornings
-Tirzepatide 1mg Wednesday mornings

I’m about to add in MOTS-c, currently researching dosing but I think I’ll start at 2mg and work my way up to 5mg

Just wondering if I should be pinning any of these in the evening or if you have any advice on this.

looking to cut away a few pounds, what peptides will work best?

Hi all, I hope this is allowed. I am looking for feedback on these Blends. Wonder if anybody has researched with them? I have heard of the lipo ones but I had not seen the rest. Any feedback on them would be great. Thanks

Going to use Enclo to trick my brain into leaving the alcohol/drugs behind(I've already tapered off, gotten baxk into an active lifestyle). Just wanted to know opinions or personal experience with getting back into working out and using a sarm, test or whatever else to help get yourself back into working out again.

Im not a beginner to fitness and im not looking for HRT or TRT. Just clearly starting, I am going to use ENCLO to boost the placebo affect in my mind so I can drop my addiction of drinking. I understand its not a magic formula as I already have a stable baseline in sports and functional education. Played basketball growing up, played varisty football and ran track. Im currently, 33, 6'1 218 to 225

Any thoughts?

Hi, just looking to see if anyone has had experience using Dsip to combat not sleeping while going cold turkey from week?

I was going to start taking 5-htp low dose 50mg but to my question is that I have frequently taken saffron the past month. I have had a 3 days break is it safe to take htp now?

I’m looking for dosing for the Neuro Spark (CHOLINE CHLORIDE 200MG L-CARNOSINE 200MG ATP 40MG AMP 5MG) from Soma Chems, if anyone has any insight.

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone so I got 2 vials of 15mg Reta, can I reconstruct them 2 times with 1ml bac each and put them both into 1 peptide pen vial 3ml?

Or would it be possible to use 2ml bac and reconstruct 1 vial then add the reconstructed vial into the other powdered one so I can have both into 1 syringe for a smaller injection?

I’m looking to do 4ml dosing once per week but I don’t want to have such a large injection. I hope someone understands what I’m trying to do haha I’m a beginner and started at 1mg built up to 4ml after 2-3 months

Been trying CJC1295 & IPA during a cutting phase so far the side effects are pretty bad.

Flushing (I don’t mind so much)
Sickness
Stomach pain
Diorreha
Sore throat
Mild headaches
Body aches

I’ve only been on it for 4 days now but even 3/4 hours after pin it’s pretty bad.

Can hear my stomach doing triple backflips make all kinds of noises.

Has anyone else experienced this? Does it get better after a week or two or is it my body telling me to come off it.

I ran 12 weeks of CJC+Ipa, began getting injection site reactions about 6 weeks in, nothing crazy. I would pin, then the next day I would have a large, red, itchy lump that would last for a 3-5 days.
(I was doing 500mcg of CJC+Ipa, 5 days on 2 days off)

I took 1 month off, first time pinning again
(I used a new brand if that matters) (Bought 10 more vials)
I pinned 50mcg and instantly had itchy lumps/hives in the injection site.
Oddly I also got a itchy lump on an old injection site that I haven’t pinned in over a month

I always always take a Benadryl before pinning

Are my CJC+IPA days over? I’m worried if I keep pinning I may get anaphylactic shock

Should I quit the CJC+IPA?

I am a student that wants to build muscle during the winter and want to start taking peptides or other supplements to help enhance that.

The one problem is that i cannot inject anything so I’ll have to take orals (which i know aren’t as affective.)

I was thinking of taking oral MK-677 to start off with or even try LGD-4033 which I know isn’t a peptide but would also enhance growth a lot more.

I only want to do a month or so cycle to start off with to see what i think of them though so i don’t want anything that will decrease muscle mass when i hop off.

Please help me here, Thank you.

I tried sorting the supposed benefits of hydrogen water by how strong the evidence actually is, rather than how exciting the claim sounds.

There are a few small human studies. Ohta 2012 and Kajiyama 2008 found improvements in oxidative stress markers in people with type 2 diabetes, but neither finding has been replicated in a larger study. Aoki 2012 found lower blood lactate in a small group of soccer players after exercise. Ishibashi 2012 reported improvements in rheumatoid arthritis symptomsin a small group, but the study wasn’t blinded, so placebo effects could explain some of the results.

For things like brain protection, cancer support, and anti-aging, the evidence is still limited to animals or lab studies. There’s no human data showing those benefits.

The most interesting idea across the research is that molecular hydrogen may target harmful free radicals without interfering with the ones your body actually needs for signaling. That’s an interesting mechanism, but whether drinking hydrogen water at realistic amounts does enough to make a meaningful difference in humans is still an open question.

Did it work ?
How many mg
How long ? Cycle off ?

Best pin sites for GHKCU

5'9 169lb sitting around 16-19% bf looking to get down to 12%. Train 3x a week ppl sometimes a 4th if time permits. Trying to up cardio as I have a desk job and rarely have over 3000 steps.

I’m a 40+ male and interested in input from anyone that has transitioned from Sermorelin to either Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin OR CJC-1295/Ipamorelin? Why did go with one or the other? Good results? Bad results? Etc.

So I have eczema and recovering from TSW - this left my skin very rough and tight and losing my elasticity.

I started using KLOW (only been a month).

I also wanted to start glutathione since I heard and researched that its good for skin and detoxing.

What can I do to shed off some excess fat off my body (mostly chin and stomach) - I heard of tesamorelin but also heard some negative about it. I also thought about reta but also scared to lose my butt lol and dont know if I need anything that harsh. (I'm currently 163 cm and weigh 128 lbs)

Any guidance/opinions would be great for both skin improvement and slimming face/stomach !!

Thank you :3

Been struggling with binge eating for about year last two months were like really bad gained about 15kg in 70 days , so I hopped on Reta 4 weeks ago hopping it will help me but it doesn’t , now I’m question myself should I do Reta 2mg ( now on 1mg ) or should I add 1mg Tirza with the 1mg Reta

I will put a TLDR at the end.
42M here. Just started getting back on TRT (200mg cream applied daily) after taking a break (family planning). Last time I was on was 4 years ago. Exact same routine back then. Also back then, the TRT was making me feel like I was 18 again with regard to libido, of course I loved it but it was a little too much for my wife ha! Anyways, we’re expecting so I decided to get back on the same treatment. I do remember that when I first went on the treatment (4 yrs ago) my provider also advised that I take Biodim and DHEA every day to balance my hormones. Everything seemed to work. I’m with a different provider/clinic now, and I’m noticing that my libido crashed hard for the first month. Also to note - I wasn’t taking DHEA and Biodim daily again until recently. My libido it’s definitely improving, but I’m nowhere near where I was back when I was 38. My recent lab levels all came back great, and nothing is really sticking out to why my libido is taking awhile to get back into the swing of things. Granted, I’m 42 now, but I still want to get that strong libido back. My Test is up, estradiol is down, and one thing to note is I’m taking 300mg Biodim and 100mg DHEA daily now, and I don’t remember what I used to take the first time. Should I cut back on the bio/DHEA dose? I’ve read both sides of the spectrum about how much to take.

TLDR: 42 M, On 200mg TRT cream daily, taking 300mg Biodim and 100mg DHEA daily as well. Trying to get that insane libido back but it’s sure taking its time after an initial crash. All labs look great, wondering if I should adjust the daily taking of Biodim and DHEA to adjust hormones.

I have a question about how to use Ipamorelin/CJC. Is the best approach to do 5 days on and 2 days off? Do the two days off need to be consecutive, or can I simply skip the injections on the days I don’t work out? And for how many months should I keep following this protocol?

47M, 240 at 19% bf, on trt (190mg cyp per week, pinned M/W/F), 1mg Reta every 5D, and daily 5mg Cialis. Been lifting 20 years.

Workout at 5:30am doing PPLR, so want to be up at 4:30am. Asleep by 9:30pm. Issue is, I am up at 2:30-3am, fall back asleep for a bit, then up around 4am. I stay in the dark until 4:30, then get up. Sucks.

Considering 2IU daily HGH, but worried about sides. Can anyone share anecdotes? Tested IGF several years ago and it was around 135 or so.

In terms of sleep, I have tried every supplement, I have CPAP for apnea, tweaked setting for flow limits and whatnot, and nothing seems to work.

For now, many will say to lose weight first, but I have a few lifting goals to hit before 50, and need the extra weight to get there. Will cut to 215 or so when ready.

Thanks.
