I guess i start tomorrow

@wisgal64 did you flush out cag first?

Ohhh yeah, I didn't last a month on it. It's been 2 months since.
I did start back on Tirz last week, but decided I'll drop it going forward for the time being so I can give the Elo time to do it's thing.

The ENLIGHTEN‑4 clinical trial includes targeting OA so this one is right up my alley Keeping fingers crossed for good results

@randy I’m not sure yet, started at .5 but so far no fatigue or nausea like I had with Cag

I started this week

@myb i picked a couple up shortly after your post in July, they work well, no problems in the freezer

@bfuller think I remember there was another post mentioning the shockwave how much it helped with osteoarthritis in knees, very interesting info, Thanks for sharing the link

I didn't like how I felt on Reta, just blah, never got above 3mg before I quit. GLPs definitely made a difference with the desire for alcohol, I like(d) beer, a cold frosty Summer Shandy on a hot summer day. The thought if it now makes my gut turn.

Congrats on your progress, that is awesome! Tirz was an absolute game changer for me, not just the WL but the many other benefits. I took a break from it, but now back to it and hoping I respond as good or better this 2nd round. Keep going!

As someone with an AI disorder (RA) for years, failing the traditional Biologics, DMARDs, JAK inhibitors, I'm always on the lookout for alternative or complementary treatments. This one caught my eye. What stood out to me is how closely its signaling profile overlaps with the pathways involved in RA synovial inflammation.

This technical guide says it's designed to modulate inflammation rather than suppress it.

It's not the same as TA-1, but they both overlap in that they are immune modulators not immune-suppressants.

Curious if anyone has heard of this pep?

So, I decided to try the direct into vial method, rather than transfer to a syringe then into a vial. Apparently, didn't suck out enough air before doing so. It started to fill, but then stopped, plunger was down, so I thought hmm must be done and this pen was short on tz. As soon as I tipped to the side to take a look and slightly lifted the pen, thank goodness I had glasses on or I would have gotten an eyeful lol

Haven't, but I'm curious why nasal route? it's over 4K Daltons.

I don't recall there being any rules around new members not being able to post right away other than introducing themselves. Looks like you just joined about 15 mins ago. Maybe check there to see if there are any requirements in place for posting

I haven't seen any trials or actual data around them specifically, but it would make sense given the info I have read says that it upregulates growth factors involved in nerve repair. From what I understand ARA is the most studied for neuropathy and inflammation, and I can attest to it working wonders in my research. Pair them up and I think it may make an awesome cocktail a rat could research.

Thanks appreciate it!

Nutricost is great to work with. I’ve requested CoAs on all supps, they provided without any issues.

@pep_researcher yes, please share

Thank you for the info!

Well, I have aaaallll these syringes to use up lol

Thanks for tips I’ll check them out

@researchcat I’ve been using Furwey (supposedly sterile) vials but realizing it’s probably not a good idea. Where do you get yours from?

Thanks for sharing this article! Down the rabbit hole I go
