@diegoc Just a statement. Seems like quite a bit circulating in your system compared to previous GLP-1 type peps.

The Elora body burden taken weekly at even 3mg is close to 9mg steady state. So 9mg weekly you’ll have about 27mg in your system steady state after 5 or 6 weeks. Yikes!
At a normal Reta dose of 4mg weekly, that’s about 5 to 6mg. Then add the 3mg weekly Elora at 9mg steady state. And that’s the “low-medium dose”.

@diegoc Ouch. Those are some ugly RHR and HRV. I had the same thing happen at 4mg/wk Reta. Not wanting to give up the glucagon benefit, I shifted to 1.5mg/wk Reta and 5mg/wk Tirz. Great appetite control GLP-1, insulin sensitivity GIP, and still a small benefit from Reta hitting the Glucagon receptor. And my RHR and HRV went back to normal, or at least close to normal.

When at my goal (went from 202-178), of 170 pounds, I’ll shift to 1mg Reta and 2.5mg Tirz.

This low-dose baseline is widely noted in transition frameworks as an ideal stack for long-term weight maintenance. It offers continuous, baseline GLP-1/GIP receptor saturation via Tirzepatide while introducing mild glucagon receptor activation via Retatrutide to support metabolic function.

@mmp Aren’t we talking UBT? But I see your point.

In the Phase Ia single-dose trial in healthy subjects, across the 1.0–4.5 mg dose range the mean half-life for each dose arm was 137–170 hours, which supported once-weekly dosing.

That's roughly 5.7–7 days, consistent with once-weekly subcutaneous injection.

Hard to beat the Elora-Tirz stack.

But a 19 hour half life? Daily pins not exactly user friendly compared to Reta and Tirz.

I’ve ordered from Northline labs. Definitely legit. Prices similar to most. For orders of more than one or two, Nexaph is hard to beat unless you’re going Grey.

@w9_tax_form SubQ

@w9_tax_form NA Semax Am is a pretty good thing. I’ve been doing both on alternate days, 500mcg each.
The 1032 Adamax takes much longer to hit the brain, like about 90 minutes. It’s “more” than the NASA, but the first hour or so after it hits slightly “fuzzy”, then things smooth out a bit.
The NASA takes 45 minutes or so to hit the brain, and never get the “fuzzy at the back of the brain” feeling. Much smoother experience than Adamax.
As far as duration of the Adamax is right at 12-13 hours. The NASA is about two hours less.
If I had to only choose one, it would be the NASA.

“Real” Adamax is 1032 da. The 984 da is not Adamax but a version without the Adamantane cage at the end. You got lucky if they are selling the worthless 984 da as “Adamax”.

@Randy exactly, a low of 10.1mg and a high of 12.9mg. That’s over a 20% differential….

@Randy Thanks. I’ve seen the past complaints about the mass differences. And my peps always seem to be about 5 to 10% low in mass. So a 10mg posted will come back 9.3 to 9.7mg. But they do ID correctly and give purity correctly. And they’re consistent with mass.
When you guys ran mass through the various labs weren’t the differences well over 10%?

Krause Analytical. They have been bad mouthed here by some with 2nd or 3rd party semi-negative comments. None that I’ve seen were first hand knowledge. Below is from a SubStack article ranking testing labs. Krause was ranked 5th, above Kovera, ILS, and TrustPoint.

——————————————————-
Krause Analytical has established a strong reputation for peptide identity, purity and quantitative testing, becoming a familiar name within the independent research peptide community.

Although it maintains a lower public profile than some of the higher-ranked laboratories, its reports appear regularly across the market and its services remain closely aligned with the practical needs of peptide researchers and suppliers.

Its visibility is also enhanced through its role as one of the independent analytical laboratories used by the Finnrick testing platform, extending the reach of its analytical work to a broader community of researchers seeking third-party verification.

Rather than relying on a highly visible public brand, Krause has built its reputation through consistent analytical performance, steady market adoption and its contribution to independent peptide testing.

Current assessment: A dependable peptide-focused laboratory with growing recognition, consistent market adoption and an important role in supporting independent peptide verification.

@Stevepep Exactly. And learn that some labs that have been bad mouthed here are actually accurate and reliable.

@Stevepep Opinions are like…. well, you know the saying. Most researchers don’t give a shit which lab analyzed their peps, just that its done, good purity/potency, and what they think it is.

@StudzPeptides I’ve had very good experiences with Krause Analytical. Yes, there are “Lab Snobs” on here that look down their noses at them, but not one I’ve seen has any first hand experience. The prices will be less than what you are currently using.

I’m doing this for torn rotator cuff. In the AM. 500mcg each so 1.5mg per day total with the blend.

I’ve bought three times from SA in the past three months, mostly during their recent big sale. All shipped quickly and accurately. They even came with those single vial 3d printed containers. Peps were exactly as advertised. I’d buy from them again for single vials.

I agree. And they always have BOGO half price so their single vials aren’t much differently priced than anyone else’s. The CoCs include Endo…
