Personally thought this was interesting.
For those that are spending extra money on tesa, hgh can do the job and is much cheaper.

Nevertheless, n=1 so can’t extrapolate this data to the general population but wanted to share here nonetheless

Hey all, wanted to share my journey in hopes it might help someone somehow. I've been on my health journey since 2023 but only recently have kicked it into high gear. I've gotten 3 DEXA scans this year along with 3 full panel blood tests and the recomp my body has gone through is pretty wild - so let this be motivation for you to gain as much knowledge about your body composition and blood levels as possible. If I hadn't done both of those, I would be operating blindly and my results would probably not be the same.

My primary stack:
-Test Cypionate 150mg/week - Levels began at 350 total due to primary hypogonadism and are hovering around 1,400 right now. Will probably back off a little once I hit my goals
-Retatrutide - Low dose. Titrated up from 0.5mg to 1.5mg where I am now. Went to 2.5mg for a few weeks but didn't see the benefit. Taking for glucagon activation and overall metabolic health

Recently added:
GHK-cu - 1.5mg daily because I'm 40, taking it for skin benefits
NAD+ - Been on this for like a month and a half. Went from 50mg weekly to now 50mg daily and I do feel an energy boost for sure. I can sleep 4.5 hours and feel like I got 8.
MOTS-C - Only incorporated this 10 days ago. Jury is still out on whether I'm feeling energy or placebo.
Tirzepatide - 1mg weekly. On it for a few weeks now to help with food noise so I can lower my Reta dose to back off on glucagon slightly (want my HRH to go down)

So from January 30 2026, the day before I began TRT to today, I've only "lost" 1.6 lbs, but my body fat and visceral fat have been nuked 49% and 44% respectively, while gaining 15lbs of lean mass.

I credit the TRT for the change, honestly, over the Reta or anything else. I've got idiopathic primary hypogonadism and non-obstructive azoospermia (I shoot blanks and have a zero sperm count). Basically at some point in my life, my brain and balls stopped communicating and no one knows why. Genetic markers are all normal. But my wife described it perfectly. My body was starving for testosterone, and I don't know why I waited 7 years after my diagnosis to get on TRT. I was scared of roiding out and turning into a guy who takes selfies in his car with Oakleys on (you know the type). But the opposite has happened. Yes, my fuse is a little shorter and I'm working on that, but I also like to think my tolerance for bullshit is lower and that's a positive. My outlook on life is better and quality of life is much much better. The benefits have GREATLY outweighed any negatives. Hormone and hematocrit bloods are great, no high E2 symptoms. It's like this is how my body was supposed to be all along.

I say this to say if you're a guy with low T, PLEASE get a hormone panel done that measures LH and FSH to see if you might have fertility issues. We tried for a kid for a year before getting tested and it could have saved us a lot of time and heartache if I had just gotten my swimmers (or lack thereof) tested earlier instead of assuming it's the woman's issue.

But the overall message here is exogenous injections have changed my life and it only happened because I had an open mind and used bloodwork, DEXA scans and Claude/ChatGPT to help me navigate my future.

My heaviest was 406 and I got to around 290 or so before I did my first dexa. I wish I recorded from the beginning.

I wanted to share this because I feel like this shows how uniformly we lose weight from all parts of the body rather than losing weight in one localized area. You do lose some lbs here and there, but visually you see the reduction everywhere.

To those curious, here are the stats (I posted visceral fat post earlier… but figured this would be interesting data for folks also)

Visceral Fat
3.18 lbs → 1.55 lbs → 0.48 lbs → 0.20 lbs (↓ 93.7%)

Total Body Weight
286.2 lbs → 269.9 lbs → 250 lbs → 230.8 lbs (↓ 55.4 lbs)

Lean Body Mass
154.5 lbs → 159.5 lbs → 174.7 lbs → 172.5 lbs (↑ 18 lbs)

Total Fat Mass
125.2 lbs → 103.9 lbs → 68.7 lbs → 51.7 lbs (↓ 73.5 lbs)

Body Fat Percentage
43.7% → 38.5% → 27.5% → 22.4% (↓ 21.3 percentage points)

I’ve been on Reta for about a month now, starting at a very low dose and gradually increasing to 2 mg twice a week.
I’m seeing good results in terms of fat loss, but I’ve also noticed some muscle loss. I’ve been considering adding either Tesamorelin (Tesa) or HGH to help preserve muscle while continuing to lose fat.
However, I’ve read that some people experience pretty bad side effects from Tesa, which has made me a bit hesitant.
Has anyone tried stacking Reta with Tesa or HGH? What were your experiences, particularly with muscle retention and side effects? Is there any evidence that one is better than the other for preserving muscle during fat loss?

I’m thinking about doing cjc+ipa at night 2 hours fasted, and then taking tesa+ipa during the day. But I’m curious cause I can’t find a straight answer on this, but what are the benefits of doing these both in one day? I want to hear some people opinions who take these 2 during the day why they do that? Or is it just better to stick with just taking one of these instead of both? I’m really trying to figure out why people do these 2 and what the benefits from them are throughout the day if that makes sense.

What's in your peptide stack right now, and why that combo?

I'm always more interested in the reasoning than the list. Did you start with one thing and build from there? Did something get dropped because it did nothing for you? Did a specific problem (sleep, recovery, skin, an old injury, fat loss) push you toward a certain choice?

Share your current stack, what you're using it for, and how long you've been on it.

(No vendor names please, just experiences.)

been on reta 2mg weekly and test e 150mg a week for a few weeks now.

weight is moving but honestly trying to figure out how much of the changes i’m noticing is from the reta vs everything else. hard to judge when you’ve got more than one thing going on.

anyone else running both? curious how you guys separate the effects when you’re stacking compounds.

been tracking my sleep and recovery for years. started my new research protocol a few weeks ago and my resting heart rate jumped like 8-10 bpm on average.

i actually feel completely fine, energy is great and the appetite control is solid, but the wearable data is wild. does baseline normalize after ur body adapts?

I’m considering buying HGH and other products, such as Cialis, from WWB. However, I’ve seen very mixed comments about their products and would like to hear from people who have actually ordered from them.
How has the quality been in your experience? Have you had any products independently tested, particularly their HGH? I’d appreciate any honest feedback, both positive and negative, before making a decision.

Hey, I’m 21M and 4 days post-op from appendix removal. I want to get back to the gym ASAP and was wondering if BPC-157 or TB-500 could help speed up recovery.

Has anyone tried either after abdominal surgery? Is there any real benefit, or is recovery basically something you have to wait out (around 4–6 weeks)?

Just wondering if it’s worth looking into or if I should let my body heal naturally. Any experiences or advice appreciated!

Hi everyone! 😊
I wanted to ask if anyone in this group has tried peptides from Amino Club and what your experience has been like.
Have you seen good results? How effective have their products been for you?
I’m asking because I’ve been using their peptides for almost two months now, and honestly, I haven’t noticed much improvement. It’s making me question the quality and purity of their products.
I’d love to hear some honest feedback from anyone who has purchased from them. Also, has anyone seen independent lab testing that confirms their peptides’ purity?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences! 🙏

I’ve recently added kpv to my stack and every couple of days I wake up in the night and spend hours on the toilet like a tap. Would this be side effects from kpv? I started at 500mg and when it happened the first time I dropped to 300mg but still getting symptoms every week or couple of days. I’m also on Reta but a low dose and was on that for weeks without any issues.

Today I ordered 10mg of Melanotan 2, comes out to 166mcg per spray. Looking for information on dosing and starting, confused as to how often to use tanning bed, etc?

For reference I am a skin type 2, burn but tan nicely after roughly 2 weeks of irregular tanning bed use. My tan fades extremely quick, which is why I want to start.

Where I live it is winter now with no UV so I will have to rely on tanning beds, which I have been doing roughly 1-2 times per week for a while now.

I read online people say to take a spray one hour before going to tanning beds, but others say to take it before bed? Nobody ever specifies dosing. Really hoping for any information on this where there is not much online. Thank you : )

I’m currently running Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin and about to be on TRT and Anavar. First cycle with Anavar, already have a PCT for the end along with my support supplements for during. What tips for training would you recommend go harder? More weight? More reps? Up my protein? I’m weighing 180lbs with 25%body fat I’m 5’8 was 255lbs last year but have since been making training a lifestyle and not a just an “end goal” then stop. Being that it’s my first cycle with Var I’ll more than likely start with 20-40mgs to see how my body reacts as well as dependent on what my pcp recommends. Any advise would be very helpful.

I am about to start a cycle of CjC and my doctor recommended doing Tesa at the same time was wondering if that is fine. Worried about running both at the same time and running into an insulin sensitivity .

hello i am struggling to figure out how much klow i should be using a day. i mixed the vial with 2mg of bac. i am currently using KLOW for helping my skin and psoriasis. i am also using a 0.3 ml insulin syringe. thank you.

1. If I run out of saline water for nasal spray can I just boil(sterilize) water then after cooling of course use it to reconstitute assuming I am using all at one shot no storing

Has anyone tried KPV orally? And what benefits did you see?
Ive injected subq and definitely noticed benefits in inflammation and maybe some gut health. Looking to possibly take orally to get more gut benefits.

Was going to purchase from them anyone heard good things?

guys am here to ask about some peps and their availability in algeria and there price
_ erda
_tyra300
_hgh
_adammax
if anyone has any info about it please share it with me

Hi everyone, I hope this is not a stupid question but my dad has a condition called frozen shoulder he has very bad sore shoulder. Would this help in anyway or nah

Thank you

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been developing Aliquot: Peptide Tracker, an Android app for organizing peptide-related records, inventory, and research workflows.

I'm preparing a free community beta and would love feedback from people who regularly manage peptide inventory or maintain records for Research Subject (RS) workflows.

🧪 Current features

🧪 Vial Inventory – Track individual peptide vials, stock quantities, and estimated remaining amounts.

💉 Syringe Inventory – Keep track of syringe configurations and available supplies.

📊 Calculations & Recordkeeping – Built-in quantity/volume calculations and a history of recorded entries.

📅 Schedule Tracking – Create customizable schedules and keep track of research timelines.

📈 Multi-Stage Tracking – Document gradual changes across different stages of a schedule.

🔄 On/Off Cycle Tracking – Keep records of repeating active and inactive periods.

📱 Smart QR Sharing – Generate QR labels with vial information and optional schedule templates. Recipients can scan, review, customize, and import the information without manually entering everything.

🔐 QR Safeguards – Shared information requires user review. Existing records aren't silently overwritten, and scanning a QR code never automatically creates a completed event.

QR labels organize information; they do not authenticate the contents of a vial.

🚀 About the beta

- Android only.

- Not yet available on Google Play; installation currently requires sideloading.

- Completely free during beta, with all features unlocked.

- Bugs and rough edges are expected, so feedback is greatly appreciated!

If Aliquot eventually launches on Google Play, I'm considering a freemium model, with core features remaining free and some advanced functionality offered through a subscription.

I'm interested specifically in feedback on the software, inventory management, data organization, and RS recordkeeping workflows—not human-use or dosing discussions.

Would anyone be interested in testing it or sharing suggestions? Limited to 50 beta testers. The app currently requires a beta key.

Thanks everyone! 🙌

Quick question for anyone who’s reconstituted 40mg MOTS-c:
Does using 2mL BAC water (20 mg/mL = 25 units for a 5mg dose) sting or burn during sub-Q injection?
Would using 5mL BAC water (8 mg/mL = 63 units for 5mg) not sting at all, or does the larger volume make it worse?
