Dr. Ashley Froese just put out a video on this, about two hours ago, on her YT channel.

Got in my order from Westend Medical Supplies and all look good. Ordered last Thursday. Expiration date is 02/29.

@researchcat I know got that and still do because I refused to get the shot. I was going to retire, fortunately I could have, before I got that shot. I don't like or trust any politicians on either side. I never have and never will. I've never thought they ever had anyone's best interest in mind but their own. I don't care who was in office at the time, I would have refused. I also don't care what people call me so the name calling never works on me.

My mother-in-law got covid in October of 2020. She died two weeks later. Was it actually from covid? I don't know. She did have other health issues but when someone died who had covid then, they just said it was because of covid. My wife and everyone and I mean everyone on her side of that family got the shot. I was the only one who didn't and I know that didn't sit well with many of them. Her cousin had a family Christmas party in 2021 and was talking about making everyone get tested before they could come over. Told the wife I just won't go.

Last thing on this. Has there every been anyone who was forced to take a peptide? IDK but that alone makes it a horrible comparison to me. That shot was never what they claimed it to be. Not getting it was one of the best decisions I think I have ever made. Now I think peptides have helped me especially at my age. Anyway...

My first attempt at a fancy label. My family was having fun at my expense by calling me "Peter Peptide" so I rolled with that though I got the QRC code wrong.

@afkar7 I plan to start that Monday. 1mg Elora with 1.6mg Reta. I’m at my goal weight so I’m dropping the 5mg Tirz but as we all know, Reta doesn’t do jack for appetite or food noise, hence the Elora. Plus I like that name “Loretta” stack….
Note: I lost 30 pounds 202-172 with 5mg Tirz and 1.6mg Reta.

As much as I have liked Reta I have to agree with that. Didn't start that way but has gone that route since I started so It's why I added Elora. Wanted to see if it helped with the noise and appetite and it has. Ive been at 5mg now for a while as a maintenance level. I have gone from 178 to 150. I know most people will say that's stupid but I was not happy at the 178 weight. I'm only 5'8" and have always been a small/slim guy. I love where I am now. I hit the gym five days a week so it's not like I'm all skin and bones IMHO.

Not a great before and after my change over six months.

Sorry if this is a repetitive post on pens. Just wanted to say I got mine in today and I really like the pen. Tested it with water and had no issue in dosages dispensed. Thanks

What I find amusing is that guy is trying to sell peptides for that site, yet he attacks someone who has used a peptide to improve their life. I mean tirzepatide is listed on the site. Why would anyone buy from them after those comments?

from your link...

"However, it should be worth noting that the side effects were not necessarily caused by retatrutide, nor was the death of the British man in his 30s."

Seems to be misleading IMHO.

I love my Bambu A1 mini and have been wearing it out. lol I know at some point in the future, I will get a bigger printer.

We all (including you) start out as beginners. It isn't being dumb. It is being naive, which should not be mocked. I have learned a lot. And I'm still learning.

It's why I started coming here, I want to learn what I don't know. I still don't ask as many questions as I would like to because as might be seen as some kind of idiot. I know, that's a me problem.

Since starting with Reta two and a half months ago I've lost, according to my Hume body pod, four pounds of lean muscle mass. I've lost seven pounds of body fat mass. I have also been on CJC 1295/Ipam during that time. I work out five days a week. Three lift days with to cardio/functional fitness. What I have experienced is that I am stronger now as I have been over the past 30 years. I'll soon be 63 and I'm 5'8" 158 lbs. Last week I deadlifted 320lb, back squat 200 and benched 210. Goals are 350, 225, 225 the latter two being as much as I have ever done with those. I never worked on DL's.

Now I have not been as good with my protein intake as I should be doing. Hoping to get that straight. Not sure what all of these might mean but I feel like Reta has not really been the drawback as I first thought it might be when it comes to losing any muscle and it hurting my strength. I know, two different things though. Not sure how long I'll stay on Reta and might stop after my current supply and try to bulk back up to see how that goes.

Anyway, just wanted to share my experience.

@afkar7 there is too much money and peoplle hungry for deals and scarcity concerns make people hoard and that is making it far worse. Everyone just needs to take a deep breath me included. Thankfully I have buddies who own wellness clinics Bac water is no problem and cheap. The craziness in the secondary market is driving this madness.

Agree and I need to also. I've been a "prepper" over the past 15 years or so and I have that "if I have one, I have none" type of mentality. I've also given my son half of my stash but this order should have me good for a while.

What I am currently taking. I figure most are self explanatory as to why I am taking.

Red yeast rice - cholesterol
Vitamin D3/K2
Super EPA 425 mg EPA AND 270MG DHA - Omega 3 fatty acid
NAC
NAD+ w/Reservatol
Berberine
CoQ10 w/PQQ
Glutathione
Creatine
Magnesium Acetyl Taurinate - supports brain health, cardiovascular function, stress management, and metabolic wellness

So I wasn't sure if I should ever discuss the researching that I have been doing to anyone but I have found this site to be so helpful that I'm going to. Just didn't want to come off as some kind of donkey with what I'm doing. Anyway...

MOTS C 2.5mg twice a week a.m.
CJC-1295 no dac + Ipamorelin 2x a day M-F 200mcg
KLOW M-F 4mg

I also added Reta five weeks ago. Wanted to see if I could lean out a little. 2mg for four weeks and 3mg this past week. I know starting that high might not be considered the right thing to do but I might stop after this week. Or should I just scale back again? I ask that based on the results that I have gotten at this point. Results are based off the Hume Body Pod. I know that's not the all to be all but I like using it as a refence.

Dropped 13lbs. Body fat 1% Body fat mass down 3.5lb Lean mass down 3lb. Subcutaneous fat mass down 3lb. Visceral fat mass from 6 to 5.

Just want to also add that I'm 62. 5'8" 164lb. Work out five days a week for at least an hour. I am close to hitting personal max on back squat, deadlifts and bench press. Just shy of the 700lb club. I feel great and have also had great results on my bloodwork.

Any suggestions as to what I am doing right/wrong or anything else would be greatly appreciated. Just don't want to be wasting time or research. Thanks for your time.

@emcharles said in Cartridge Question:

When filtering, does anyone filter directly in to a pen cartridge? Is it better to filter to a regular vial and then to the pen cartridge? Does it matter?

I filter directly to my pen cartridge.

Guess I have to open an X account. lol

Decided to give them a go for my next research project. Just like it seems everyone has said, delivery was quick. First time I have purchased that much of any peptide. Will continue to use when purchasing 10 packs. I'm somewhat of a prepper so I want to start getting them to stock up. Also, could not help but to get another Gansulin pen.
