I started the SS 31 and would feel a crash at 4, tried MotsC then crashed again, NAD+ did nothing for me either. This was the low and slow phase while finishing 6 weeks 5 amino 1mq. So tried the Lipo-C with glutathione and WOW!!! All day energy and no crash into the 2nd day. I bought a kit and started 3rd week of Lipo-C with 75 units IM 2xs a week with a great mood too. I will try the 5mg MotsC but was only at 2.5mg but thought Id share my great experience with LipoC and will do SS31 later. Im 62 and working hard on a big kitchen remodel job solo, so I need to feel good to perform well working hard physically.

I think it’s 20% and an extra 10% with an influencer discount code. They posted the code EASTER26 that also gives the extra 10% if you don’t have an influencer you want to support. [image: 1775436429529-collage_export_5e2f35b2-935a-459b-9eff-cbb5a0f5a73e-resized.jpeg]

I have the Tesa/Ipa blend. Doing it for visceral fat reduction. I had GH before, but it was making my hands go numb at 2iu a night. But I really never took it for more than a week because it was to inconvenient (didn’t know about the Pens back then). I wondered if the CJC/Ipa would be just as good as the Tesa/Ipa. I only take 1mg of the Tesa/Ipa 5 nights on 2 nights off.

@Ttia318i here read this article, 20mg is pretty steep to try to reconstitute without acetic acid mixed in there, even 10mg can gel up https://nexterapeptide.com/acetic-acid-reconstitution

Weekly uptake for my rat is as follows. .3mg, .6mg, 1mg, 2mg, 3mg, 4mg, 5mg, will be administering 6mg today. Around week 5 and on, my test subject would get really bad abdominal pain followed by more than usual bowl movement around 1-2 days before the scheduled next dose. Also, increase fiber for those who are susceptible to constipation like my subject. You are welcome. We use chia seeds soaked in water over night. Work your way up to a full dose. 8mg, 10mg, 14mg etc. See about the effects before starting Reta. But yeah, just what we’ve been doing here. Not actual advise. Also, be sure to keep up with essential vitamins like A for your eye sight. Fat soluble so take with fat. And so forth since a lot of vitamin and mineral consumption by your test subject will be at a higher rate. And that plus less food intake, recomndation is to provide nutrient dense food to your subject. Any how, hope this helps.

@Randy said in New batch of reta really hurts when injecting: https://amzn.to/3Qiw8Sa Much appreciated.

I received my Thymulin order from BL, had a quick turnaround. Only thing I frowned at, and this probably isn't a big deal, as it sounds like this happens with pucks. The shape or lack thereof was all broken up, not like Southern Aminos, which came as a nice tight shape. I'll know more once I begin my research. The amount of emails I get from BL though, OMG, can I just browse a product without getting a gazillion of them lol I'll have to change my preferences to less of those if that option is avail.

@Nolan Based on my reading and practice, it is 500mcg (each) daily for maintenance and up to 1mg per day for injury repair. There are some folks here who research much higher levels..

Id start following the phase 3 trial guidelines. Some will say you can start higher but you will likely experience the skin sensitivity that way. Another option is to add cag or maz/survo for the "ghetto reta" stack (my favorite).

I do glutathione as a nasal spray because it crosses the blood brain barrier easier. It also increases glutathione in the brain significantly over subq or iv. As long as your peptide has a molecule weight under 500 daltons it is a candidate for nasal administration. If it is a peptide that crosses the BBB you will get better concentrations in the brain and nervous system via nasal administration. You can test using a nasal dart. It is an atomizer with luer lock end. It can be reused as long as it is only reused on the same research subject. You will also want to dilute with saline because bac water alone stings something terrible.

I have Mots-c from 2 different vendors First Mots I re-constituted did not come out as clear as the other peptides I have researched (Reta, TB+BP). I had another Mots from another vendor which re-constituted slightly clearer than the first, but still a little cloudy. Does Mots usually re-constitute crystal clear or is it known to re-constitute a little cloudy Neither of the Mots vials I reconstituted have been used for research yet.

I’m looking at researching the Glow blend, my question is I have server inflammation in my nose aiding in my sleep apnea. With the anti-inflammatory properties of the blend do you think it will open up my air passages?

@Randy It’s funny; a friend of mine is on reta and like it a lot but is increasing his dose because of food noise/hunger. I use tirz and he keeps trying to get me to move to reta but I am not having trouble with food noise on a very low dose. Hence why I always say to take it slow and see what works best for you. Maybe I will try reta at some point, but right now I see no reason to mess with variables that aren’t causing problems.

Have you tried other GLP's from vendors like Nextchems Retatrutide?

I was reading in the Cerebro-something or other thread about hair loss associated with Semax use. That is the first time I have ever heard about that side effect. So I went down a rabbit hole and all I see is a lot of reddit anecdotes indicating that you’re an idiot if you don’t know Semax makes your hair fall out, and one article indicating that none of the human research done on Semax reports hair loss as a side effect. There was one study indicating BDNF may increase hair loss for those predisposed to hair loss. Is this a thing? Also, am looking for Dihexa. It seems to have limited availability from vendors on this site. Is there a preferred source? I have been on the Nexaph wait list for a while.

I see now. Thanks.

I started at 3mg with with the intention of ending up at 4mg, so that was my plan to gradually move up. I'm on Day 2, so take that for what it's worth, but I have no stinging sensation that others talk about with GLOW or GHK-CU. This is supposed to be due to the anti-inflammation properties of KPV. If I had it to do over, I'd use a 5ml vial and add a total of 4ml of BAC so the units are slightly higher. For some reason, it seems like there is more resistance than I antipicated to push with my pen. The concentration of the solution may be a little viscous for an 11unit push. Thinning it out with a little more BAC could help.

I haven’t done a swag dump in a while, so here is a short version: got my new Gansulin and Xulin pens, a label printer, bottle opener from Nexaph, and an Uncle Wang’s storage box. All available either on this site or via affiliate links. Thanks Randy! [image: 1774026807715-att.ryvdts_1wm929dc-z4a-okhvcge0gx10_cd5tbe84_8-resized.jpeg]

@MyB Im a itchy boy myself. I can tell you bpc/tb4 always cause me to get itchy by day 3/4. Its well documented on other forums and reddit. Kpv can even push me into histamine issues if im doing too much for too long. Plain GHK is fine and im back to 6mg in the morning. I was doing 10mg but it was becoming too painful.
