I know how you feel man, I’m mid 20’s and I’ve struggled my whole life with my weight, As a former chemist what do you find the most interesting about peptides? What have you taken exactly if you don’t mind me asking

I like learning about the mechanisms of action, there are some good folks covering that on YouTube.

I am turning 62 in July and start at 244lbs and 27%BF. Reta 2mg week one and 2mg every 3.5 days week two. That dose seems perfect for me no more beer noise! I have osteoarthritis in one knee and golf elbow from Pickleball so I started BPC-157 oral 500mg morning and evening, 2mb TB-500, GHK-CU 2mg, and KPV 0.4 mg evening injections. The GHK-CU has been a struggle from site injection pain been playing with dilutions and combos. I added CJC/IPA this week fasted in the mornings and was considering Tesa. Reta was the key for me can stay on 1600 - 1800 cal diet 195g protein. Cardio every day and lifting lower body twice a week. Going to add upper body when the elbow is better.

As a former chemist are you at all worried about purity/contamination issues from overseas suppliers? I'm a scientist myself (molecular biologist/microbiologist) and have found myself in a bit of decision paralysis due to my concerns about it.

Yes, I definitely do not go with lowest cost supplier. I believe there are some in the US.

Yeah that's kind have been or will be my approach- what is your take on the same suppliers that have both a china and a us warehouse? Does that raise any red flags quality wise to you (from a science/manufacturing thought process)? or QC/QA concerns at all?
 
Hi there! I am an ascp certified medical lab scientist that found my way here as well. Insurance won't cover weight loss medication, and I am interested in some of the other peptides like DSIP and Selank. I already am on Ret right now.

I'm a former scientist that worked in contaminants chemistry mainly foods and dietary supplements. I am fascinated with peptides and their potential to improve health. In the past few years I have tried some that you see in the main stream but have not really seen results. I have struggled to lose weight, each decade I put more on and now in my early sixties feel it's critical to find solutions before it's too late. I am interested in Reta and the Wolverine stack to start out to improve nagging injuries so I can exercise more and losing the weight. Looking forward to learning from the community!

You will gain a lot of info and I suspect will also give a lot of good info from your background. Welcome!

Just wanted to give a quick update:

@ 226 lbs and 25.4% BF.

I had to back down the Reta to 2 mg, 4mg gave me pretty bad insomnia which killed my weight loss.

I have experimented with wolverine stack injections in my elbow and knee which has been helpful.

Been struggling with GHK-Cu welts and down to serial dilutions to 2 mg/ml which seems better.

Started MOT-c 8mg everyday before workouts and have been seeing great results with weight training.
 
Welcome to the fray. Advance this scientist immediately!😂

I wouldn't stack the Wolverine, and if you've started already then just finish it out and then get the compounds separately. Your background will appreciate the flexibility of doing it that way.

Also, look into nootropic and Khavinson peptides/bioregulation. Its a beautiful place to be. Happy cells doing happy things, even in your brain.

Welcome, I dont know about various scientic studies, but I have experienced real world benefits of peptides. Ive lost 35lbs with Reta in two months, because I worked shift work my circadium rhythm iscooked, my body feels tired but I dont got sleeply and I couldnt sleep for more than 3hrs. I tired DSIP peptide and felt nothing, then I tried Epithalon and it changed my world. I now sleep 7-8hrs and I get that deep rested sleep. Ive started taking peptides to improve my mitochondria SS31,MOTC,5 amino,NAD and notice my mind is sharper, my reaction time is quicker, my memory recall is better. I dont need a study, peptides have been life changing for me.

Can you tell me your peptide protocol? Dosage ? Schedule? Timing? for sleep. I'm also a shift worker that can only sleep 2-3hrs during the day and constantly feel like a insomniac when I'm working nights.
 
I cut my Reta dose again to 1 mg every 5 days. That seems to be the best trade off for me. My HRT and resting heart rate are also recovering on that dose. I am currently taking oral Pinealon, Epithalon and a magnesium complex before bed. I stopping eating 4 hours before bedtime.

I am 7 weeks in and have been able to maintain my lean mass while losing 15 lbs of body fat according to my body pod. I have follow up labs in two weeks to compare all my blood marks and get a DEXA to check my body pod results. I started Tesa/Ipa at night two weeks ago and a green banana powder. Both target visceral fat through different mechanisms and have gotten a significant drop in my visceral fat index. I have paused CJC/IPA while using Tesa/IPA.

KLOW 80 - GHK-Cu (50mg) / KPV (10mg) / BPC-157 (10mg) / TB500 (10mg)​

Im still a little confused by the klow breakdown since most sources seem to suggest a higher dose of TB than can be achieved with Klow without exceeding ghk-cu recommended doses.
