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.

I can't believe you guys are still doing the BAC debate. You guys have been at this for months. Let it go!

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.

@ed1 They carry SS-31. (NXP-ATP)

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.

This does nothing for us unless you want to find someone to prescribe and then pay insanely high prices from a compounding pharmacy. Correct me if I am wrong.

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!

But is it really a tail?

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.

@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.

@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.

@WisGal64 So far so good. I am up to 25 units a day which comes out to about 34.25mgs. I get a little knot at the injection site but no itch and not terrible. I am sorry you had to stop and you were reacting to it. The stack of this with SS-31 and NAD+ is excellent. My burning eyes and daily exhaustion has basically vanished. I pin in the morning and I stay energetic all day long.

Is anyone concerned about this?

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 am going to start the SS-31 protocol from above phase 1 and 2 but probably skip 3 once my order arrives and testing clears. There is no mention in this thread about MOTS. I have done several cycles in the past of MOTS at 5mg every other day for 6-8 weeks. Can I incorporate that same cycle of MOTS along with the SS-31 phase 1 and 2 protocol from above simultaneously?

I really need to put some time and effort into learning the whole Crypto rigmarole.

@PeptidePete
I wouldn't disagree with that at all. I do the Tes/Ipa, not straight gh. I also like thew MOTS during that cycle for the added insulin sensitivity. However, the cost factor plays into things so I don't do it as a forever. So running the MOTS alongside the SS-31 isn't prohibitive and potentially even synergistic? I should be starting a Epitalon/Pinealon cycle even sooner. I am excited about the Pinealon potential. I have done Epitalon solo in the past and can't say much for what it did for me.
