RETA AND TESA...Don't forget to have your diet and exercise dialed in as well. Nothing will overcome bad habits.

it's a research journey.... for sure!
Personally... I can say it's changed my life tho! 2014: Gastric Sleeve 2024: Revision due to severe angulation of my stomach pouch and hiatal hernia, essentially revised to a RNY sort of. Lost 70lbs but plateaued and tried absolutely everything under the sun. 2026: Started Tirz. Last week Ive officially hit 100lbs lost since 2024. My inflammation is next to none and I've never felt better. I truly don't ever plan on stopping Tirz.... I think I'll forever microdose! lol

@hay_bayls 100lbs!! That is awesome

I’m not far behind you, still trying to break a stall , Tirz was the most impactful in all of my WL journeys, I’ve been on a lot lol

If weight loss is your #1 goal, then yeah Reta, Reta, Reta. I would also supercharge it with AOD. Skip the Tesa. It's expensive and AOD is the perfect compliment.
AOD-9604 (The Mobilizer): This peptide is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (HGH) that specifically targets fat breakdown (lipolysis) and inhibits fat storage (lipogenesis). It is highly effective at acting on adipose tissue, particularly in resistant areas.

@WisGal64 You're asking about AOD right? I've seen water retention reported with a few people out in the wild, but I haven't seen it personally in my circle of test rats. I've taken creatine for decades and that does water retention so I definitely know about it first hand. No joint swelling reported. CJC can cause that though, so if people are stacking that with Reta which is super popular, then that is where those joint swelling reports would come from.

after taking a vial or two of aod. and doubling the normal average dose for my capybara 1mg? a day?. he just shrugged and was unimpressed. only thing it does it makes him sleepy mid day. gonna stop beating around the bush and just throw igf1 into the mix when done with aod. the underlying positives may be worth looking into for cartilage repair.
What is your current stack or are you just getting started from scratch?
