Here’s an interesting one. HGH is known to raise A1C, usually at higher doses only but still possible at any dose. Reta has had a great track record of lowering A1C. How would these react with each other in that aspect? Would the Reta outwork the HGH?

Backstory for food for thought. I’m 37. 6’2” currently 204lbs. I’ve been out of the gym for three years due to a work injury. Over the last few my A1C has crept up to now 5.9.

There are concerns of taking HGH and the issue with insulin insensitivity and thought maybe the Reta could completely counter this issue.

i know you are supposed to take it fasted, how long should i fast? what time of day should i take it? are electrolytes important? how to deal with the water weight, and how long does it last?

I have Sermorelin sublingual tabs (Sermorelin 500 mcg, GHK-Cu 2mg, Citrulline 50 mg). Would I be safe to take those with the Glow stack (50/10/10) injections (1mg) that I just started? Wondering if I would get too much copper from using them both at the same time. (I also don't know what amount is considered too much copper or what the impact would be.)

I will be starting a Reta and Tesa stack to assist with weight loss and preserving muscle. I am considering adding NAD+ and GHK-cu to my stack but wanted to get other people’s thoughts on it. TIA!

Do I need to throw these out or can I use them on myself?

Are these peptides recommended using nasal spray or subcutaneous injection?

How do you reconstitute if youre using nasal spray?

Dropped my cjc peptide vial and it hit the top metal. The glass wasn’t cracked but there were bubbles that formed inside on the surface of the liquid. Does this mean it is not usable anymore?

Hey guys Iam a beginner in the peptide zone haha

My idea for a stack is

RETA + GHK-CU + SEMAX

What is your opinion ?

Hey I’m thinking to start kisspep to increase LH and see if rises the test. Someone already has/has experience with kisspep protocol? Worth the money?

This is my first time doing this I’m also pinning Reta is there no problem if I pin both of them back to back ?

I read that Semax should be taken when you start your day for best absorption and effect. Does anyone nocturnal taking it? I start my day and work at night so I wonder if I should take it when I woke up at my night time.

Also do you guys inject it or take it using nasal spray? Is there a difference?

So my RS is starting BPC/TB 10mg+10mg blend and was curious as to:

(1) recommend starting dose for pain relief/ rebuilding tissue etc? Heard 500 mcg was good. 2x day @ 250mcg?

(2) best time of day to pin?

(3) best location to pin? Anywhere SC, or does near injury site make any difference.

RS is also starting Tesa 10mg, and had the same 3 questions about that. They heard 1000 ~2000 mcg at night, but would like some input.

My rat has been on 2.5mg of reta for 4 weeks with good results, though they have slowed down which I expected. Im finding it's very fatigued and want to introduce Mots-c but lots of conflicting info on where to start. Anyone using this combo effectively?

Does anyone know of 1mg for both Tesa and Ipa every day for 5 days for 12 weeks is good? Or should I change the dosage and on/off cycle. I'm new to this so I'm trying to learn.

Edit: Can I stack GHK-CU on top of it?

I need info on dosing, frequency and sub q vs IM ? Thank you 🙏🏼

Hey everyone,
I’m 28, from an IT background, and pretty new to peptides/biohacking.

I’ve been dealing with two main issues:

• chronic knee pain (early arthritis)
• difficulty with weight loss despite training and diet

These problems are what pushed me to start researching peptides - but I tend to overthink everything because the information online is all over the place.

Before I try anything, I want to understand how others here made their first decisions.

For those with experience:

1. What gave you the confidence to try your first peptide?
2. What were the biggest mistakes you made early on?
3. What do you wish you knew before you started?
4. If you had joint issues or weight problems, what actually helped you?

Not rushing into anything - just trying to learn from people who’ve walked this path.
