I think it's just one of those group biases. It's popular in gym circuits, so when lifters are using it as part of their stack with anabolics or whatever else it's assumed to be muscle sparing. Also a confounding thing can be tirz causing more lethargy and appetite suppression and folks in general riding those side effects to starvation and not exercising as much. I've lifted religiously for probably 15 years now to try to preserve bone mass, and even my microdose tirz can leave me drained and make protein (let's be real, all food) sound absolutely repulsive. The weeks I tried reta I was able to eat a lot more, but had no benefits for my RA which is my main reason for being on a GLP in the first place.

Reta/Glucagon doesn’t protect muscle -
Your favorite peptide influencer?Ashley Froese is a DO, not MD or DC. Which makes perfect sense to me for her being scientifically grounded but treating more holistically. (I have a parent who dropped out of chiropractic school because he realized it was a scam and became a DO and focused on sports medicine).

What MG number do you use when referencing COA with multiple tested vials?Mean/average. I'm pretty med sensitive though and I'm better off with a slightly lower dose and compensating later, than too high and being out of commission for days.

If reta exists, why do you still research sema or tirz?I researched both and ended up back where I started with tirz, less inflammation and autoimmune pain, better focus from lack of food noise.

Equipment starter kit for newbiesPeptide test has great starter kits.

ENDOTOXIN MATH@EXTROPIAN what do you mean?

Suggestion for the price tool maybe?Now that more companies are starting to offer more thorough testing, I'm wondering if there's a way to add a filter for sorting among those brands? Totally not sure of the tool's capability, but it would be a helpful starting point for some of us.

Amazon pulled bac water@Juan-Doe did it ever arrive?

Aavant Reta/Tirz drop@Ctrain24 ooh I missed that with the crazy chat activity. That's reassuring at least.

GHK-Cu/KPV protocol@WisGal64 oh yes, I drink a lot of Gatorade and water. Part of my autoimmune mess is adrenal insufficiency/Addison's so I have a very strong habit for hydration. BP tends to run on the low side as is. Considered a herx reaction as a possibility, but I'm also extremely med sensitive in general, so it's hard to say. Dizzy spells stopped within 48 hours of discontinuing so it was a short term issue at least.

Pen suggestion needed@Stevepep funny enough the v3 is what I have ghk-cu in and it's been fine, other than my panic attack. The drippy v2 is kpv. I'll try some from here, I just figured I'd use gift cards first to see if I could actually even administer doses for myself. It seems like I can as long as I never see the needle.

RS responded well to peptide, immediate improvement in autoimmune related eczema. Much appreciation for the speed it reached my lab.

GHK-Cu/KPV protocolI started both on RS recently, kpv about 2 weeks ahead of ghk so I could gauge tolerance. Kpv helped a lot with dermatitis rashes from autoimmune flare-ups, but about 10 days in RS started having dizzy spells and had to pause. Ghk tolerance has been fine, occasionally pokes are "spicy" but nothing extreme.
Kpv was 100 mcg twice a day, ghkcu I believe is up to 1 mg once a day, 5x a week. I use glutes for both.

Lambda Water LLC - Reconstitution SolutionI mean he could have gotten good bac water, but that doesn't mean "bro Chinese bac water is just as good!". Randy had a good batch of water from what, Chimera? Out of that ordering fiasco. That was a bonus surprise not a testament to all random waters.

July 4th SALE Wish ListI'm still debating between survo and maz, so singles of those for science. Ghkcu, kpv, maybe some printed organizer type things.
-
ENDOTOXIN MATHAs someone who is only 128 lbs and immune compromised I have to be quite careful. Some of the numbers I've seen on recent tests would absolutely be a major issue for me.

July 4th SALE Wish List@Eleanor I was browsing etsy when I was having trouble falling asleep and bookmarking some cartridge holders for the fridge, loading stations, etc. I really need to get a more discreet pen holder before my family visits though, I don't feel like answering questions

-
Peptide Negatives: Anything Beyond Injection Site Reactions?Kpv above 100 mcg still gives me terrible dizziness to the point of blacking out. It helps a ton with certain autoimmune symptoms so I hate to discontinue but I have to keep it very low.
