I’ll add that I currently take 5-6mg/week and titrate down if I want to eat more. Weight has been pretty stable around my target for a few months. Don’t be too capricious about it, but once you are comfortable with how it works for you, making small adjustments isn’t a big deal, imo.

I have done 5 day dosing, but only for a couple of months near the beginning because like you, i started to get hungry after day 5. Eventually, I went back to weekly and used the last two days (Friday/Saturday) as refeed days, since I am not very hungry during the week. At this point, I am in maintenance but still barely hitting my macros.

I don’t know much about your protocols or process, but if you are still losing weight, and the food noises is manageable, it might be fine. Otherwise, like pilot said, you could titrate up. If you are working out consistently, make sure you can hit your macros so your muscles don’t evaporate.

I honestly don’t understand why people mix Tirz and Reta, but it’s a free country. I might switch to Reta for a couple months to see if it helps with muscle mass, but from everything I have seen, Tirz has better overall appetite suppression.

Thus ends my rambling.

A friend and I keep getting ads and emails for RX prescribed peptides. $279 for 10mg Wolverine and they ship it reconstituted.

I’ll stick with Nexaph, thanks.

Miralax and loads of water. I fought this fight for several months on tirz, and MiraLAX was the solution. Take it daily and forget about your constipation. All the other stuff might help but none of them on their own soled the problem.

i just end up sending nexaph money instead.

What have you bought?

Lmao, in my case about 70% of the things they sell, including the bottle opener.

@randy. Your next assignment:

(for the record, i think there are some ‘minor’ design issues that render the prototype non-functional without modification. )

Yep; you can use an autopen with pretty much anything, but if you are sensitive to Glow/Ghk or other peps, you might want to use a manual for slower injection. Like Stevepep says, you have to watch gauge as very thin needles (like the 32g i prefer) are likely to cause the cartridge plug to stick.

You definitely want to add peps and protocols one at a time, first, so that if you have a reaction, you know what is causing it, second, so you can actually see what a given pep is doing for you, and third, so you can focus on the results you want to get. Experienced researchers might use 6+ at a time, but should know what each is doing and what the effects are.

Are you on HRT? I have spoken with a number of women who were perimenopausal or menopausal and were miserable until they started HRT. The sooner you start, the better the benefits. (I’ve been told) that if you wait until you’re done with menopause, the results can still be good but not generally as good as if you started early.

@ResearchCat
Why was she running ARAs, and what were the results?

Chronic pain. She grudgingly acknowledged that it worked. But it isn’t permanent.

Outstanding!

@PeptideEd My wife ran a full kit of Nexaph Ara-290 earlier this year. Reconned with Bac water. It did try to gel a bit if I put too many vials into one pen but adding more water got it into solution. I didn’t lose any vials.

Just take Glow/Klow. The obvious answer is the correct one. I have had chronic shoulder pain for several years due to sports injuries and being too stupid to quit, so bad i couldn’t lift and had a lot of trouble performing jiu jitsu techniques.

I’ve been diagnosed with bursitis, a frayed labrum, and frozen shoulder. Cortisone shots didn’t really help. While some symptoms resolved with inactivity, I hadn’t been completely pain free in 10 years - until I started Wolverine/Glow/Klow. I have been researching some form of it for about a year and a half - now strictly Klow or Klow + Wolv, and have no pain at all and about 90% mobility. I don’t have knee pain anymore either.

I haven’t tried Cartalax because I haven’t felt I need it. So I am not saying Cart/Deadpool won’t help, just that Klow absolutely did for me.

@bfuller Based on my limited data, most places take labs after 6-8 weeks and then every 3 months to monitor hematocrit and estradiol.

too funny

I found him about a month into my peptide journey. Unfortunately, I found him after Trevor Bachmeyer (not a doctor, lol). Once I found this site, it confirmed to me that TB was a blowhard windbag.

Funny, I used to read Reddit and Skool communities and watch a ton of yt videos. Now, i read here and watch a few YT videos. I stay away from the rest.

Yeah, but did you get in on the black card membership before the price went from $75k/year to $250k/year?

Thank you peptide critic for helping us navigate this mindfield

Hear! hear!

The glorious and undying nature of this thread is spectacular!

Stories like this really make me wonder. It’s a lot of work to be so openly dishonest. I guess it must be worth it, but I have generally found it easier to be a fair dealer in all things. And I sleep well at night. Generally.

@quicksilver80 Yeah. I have a friend who makes custom epoxy cabinet hardware and every single item she has posted on Etsy has been ripped off by multiple random Chinese vendors. It’s incredibly frustrating, especially when the company ripping you off is using pictures of your kitchen to sell the art they stole from you.

And neither amazon nor google respects IP protection. Reporting them does nothing.

I’d want to see a lot more information on this before trying it out. What is dosing? Effectiveness? I’ve been waiting for NA-931 (bioglutide) for a while now.

@BeeKind Yeah, I appreciate slick packaging and maybe a bit of vendor swag, but I am also aware that for a lot of the premium whiskey that I buy, the packaging costs more than the liquor inside, and it’s probably an order of magnitude higher for peps.
