Peptide Critic Community

Starts tomorrow and goes through next Sunday but it is Crypto only.

To me it isn't necessarily about the quantity of life. We all have an expiration date and it could be in a car wreck later today for me. I am after the quality of life while I am still around. If I get some quality longevity too, I'll take it.

Sounds like it may be due to the higher concentration per ml of BAC water that may have done it for you. At least that is the variable that sticks out to me.

I'm new here. I mostly lurk and learn. I am a 6 ft 53 year old male. In 2019 I topped out at 400 pounds. I started keto Nov 2019. I dabbled in all kinds of things from then until around Oct 2025 including fasting, carnivore, cold plunge, sauna, IV therapy, etc. I kept bouncing between 230-280 pounds. I couldn't break 230 and during the nice summers I'd gain weight while out enjoying life too much. In October I started Reta. Since then I have also added MOTS-C, Epitalon, GHK-Cu, Tes/Ipa, and Melanotan 1. There are still so many more I want to try. I am now down to 210 pounds, quite a bit of loose skin and considerably more muscle than I have ever had. I workout 4-5 days a week doing resistance, HIIT, cardio. I stopped the fasting since it didn't work well with muscle sparing/gaining. I still frequent the cold plunge and sauna a couple times a week for a couple hours going back and forth. My diet is clean and I prioritize protein.

Thank you for this forum and all of the information you all share!

I have never had an issue with my Tes gelling and I refrigerate. And yes it is officially Tes and was tested to be Tes. I ran a 12 week cycle and now week 9 of a 16 week cycle. So I have gone through plenty of vials.

The working out is a MUST. You will lose weight without working out but the quality of the weight won't be great. Meaning you will lose muscle along with fat and that is BAD! Especially as we age.

@bfuller I stop eating around 3:30 PM. I pin around 7:30pm just before bed, sometimes a little later on Friday since I do not work the next day. I agree with you on the sleep, etc. with eating far away from my actual sleep time.

I have gotten in on a handful of reta preorders. It has worked out in each case so far.

I am really interested in bioregulators. Have you done vesugen? Are you doing the bios in oral form or subq? I'd like to be able to do these but I see most are oral and I just think oral would be a big nothing burger as far as effectiveness. And the costs I've seen have been pretty outrageous.

I always use Hospira BAC for my Tes/Ipa and have never had a problem. I did a 12 week course this past winter and I am 4 weeks in on a 16 week course currently.

@WisGal64 Great list, thank you for sharing that.

Nexaph is highly tested. You can even find 3rd party testing which gets into endos and other more extensive testing on TG.

@afkar7 @valgal Group Buy

Always be conservative so you can see how you react. I am on 5mg M W F and I love it. My wife is 2.5 mg every other day.

I have never seen that Tesa can only be used with Reta and nothing else. I have stacked many different peptides while taking Tesa. I am currently taking Reta, GHK-Cu, MOTS, MT 1(occasionally) and Tes/Ipa. I also was doing Pinealon and Epitalon but that cycle has since ended. I plan on adding other peps at some point that I'm sure will crossover with a cycle of Tes/Ipa including KPV, 5Amino, Lipo-C, SS-31.

But is it really a tail?

@jackiee I found great results with 1mg per night for 20 nights. 2 vials out of my kit from Nexaph. I run it a few times a year. I pair it with Pinealon now. I haven't tried DSIP.

@EXTROPIAN @vpeptides In the end it is all N=1 research and we are all different. That is true on all peps and dosage. Some people take .5mg Reta and never have to go higher. Some shoot up to 8mgs before they actually start seeing any effect.

@Commander

Here is my take which isn't worth $hit. We went through this with SS-31 at the beginning of the year, then HGH a little while back and now it is anything with KPV. They drum up this fear and everyone goes on a buying spree for it. And they can probably even bump the prices up a bit. But it'll still all be there in the end. Don't fall for the fear tactic.
