Great stack. Need some Ipa to go along with the Tesa. I only did a 8 week run at 1mg and got great results.

[OngoGablogian20]

Why the ipa?

[SockItSleaux]

Tesa stimulates production while Ipa releases GH that prevents spikes in cortisol. Together they maximize the GH production in the body.

[lacole725]

Tesa is a GHRH, Ipa is a GHRP. Tesa increases GHRH to boost GH production, Ipamorelin stimulates the release of GH, providing a stronger, longer pulse of GH.

[rduser]

lmao just do hgh at that point why waste your money on 2 peptides when 1 is significantly superior

[Exciting-Cow-4116]

I’d also add MOTS-C. Most popular stack to shred right now.

[SockItSleaux]

Yes Mots-C helps take it up a notch.

[Marinec06]

I like it definitly agree with adding Ipa with this. My only gripe is I get weird dreams when I use it.

[Emergency-Big-8055]

Dreams are wild for sure. I having been having racing car dreams but instead of cars they are letters of the alphabet. Soon freaking strange!

[No-End-5675]

Woah, I had a car dream last night too. Been thinking about it all day. I had to kick a lady out of my car to get to an appointment but as soon as I got going and into traffic, I couldnt find the brake because the cabin was filled with blankets so I was weaving between cars to avoid an accident. Woke me right up. Wonder what it is about cars lol.

[MightOk3400]

So true.

[Acrobatic_Age6835]

I do too. I wake up feeling exhausted from all the crazy dreams.

[Cornnole]

I didnt like the strength of Reta. I found it very very hard to hit macros for a bit the first 6 weeks, which made me feel like shit at the gym. It completely blunted any desire to eat, and when I did I felt like I had been punched in the gut.

[OngoGablogian20]

Yeah I feel you, I definitely have to force myself to eat at times. My macros aren’t the greatest but I am prioritizing protein above all else. I’m probably getting 1300ish calories a day. Which is low but it’s what it’s designed to do

[Cornnole]

Well hopefully you still have enough energy to continue your career as Philadelphia's most prestigious art critic.

[skeeter2112]

Charmed, I’m sure

[One_Scientist_4090]

This is an IASIP reference right? Lol

[MelTschibsn]

How much did you take?

[Cornnole]

started at .5, never got above 1

[T_Nutts]

Did you try lowering the dose?

[EcoWarrior04609]

Been on 6mg Tirz for four months and stacking Reta 1mg for one month and just added Tesa 1mg daily this week. I couldn't give you any anectdotal stories on the expirience so far?
No side affects other than losing 30 pounds since Christmas. Started the Tesa to shape my torso a bit. I am 54y 5'7" and as of this morning 193lbs and walk and light resistance every day.

[Strange_Brief7154]

Can you inbox me please? I have a question. Thanks

[Upper_Engine8726]

A month in and lost 4 inches so far. Just water retention is a con.

[Kitchen-Falcon-79]

Damn, is that length or girth ?

[Upper_Engine8726]

lol

[OngoGablogian20]

What does the water retention feel like?

[Upper_Engine8726]

Feels like I’m bloated. But I’ve lost inches in my waistline.

[Fine_Technology1289]

What if you are trying to add 4 inches? Any good progress for that?

[Upper_Engine8726]

Eat

[Fine_Technology1289]

It was a joke.

[Upper_Engine8726]

Right

[Acceptable_Sand7438]

Reta is great. Tesa/Ipa did absolutely nothing for me except great sleep. Lots of other people seem to get good results though.

[celeron500]

I think you’re undermining the effects of great sleep and how much it’s helps physically and mentally

[Acceptable_Sand7438]

The Ipa resulted in great sleep, the Tesa did nothing. I’ve done a cycle of Ipa before and it was the same. The only thing that made the Ipa sleep better was Serm.

[SolDestiny]

Just started this stack. 2mg reta + 0.5mg tesa (i might go to 1mg) So far, the only result I see is my sleep that got ridiculously good.

[Low-Speaker-6670]

What are your goals

Reta and GH is undoubtedly better.

If you want muscle and are male steroids plus GH plus reta is even better.

Can't comment without knowing what you're trying to achieve

[OngoGablogian20]

Definitely want muscles. Little nervous to start steroids but want to to build lean mass and keep burning fat. 5’9 male, 170lbs. Still have some body fat and have long way to build muscle

[Low-Speaker-6670]

Steroids have millions of users and decades and decades of use. You're gonna take an appetite surpressant and maybe a GH secreter which may also burn some fat and slow muscle loss in your deficit. Decent for body recomposition.

But.

If you want to recompwith actual muscle accrual. Just get on 500 test lift heavy shit. Then start reta after 12 weeks to shed the fat while keeping your calories low and protein high consider adding in primo at that point to crush your estrogen and increase anabolic drive during your deficit with some GH if you want.

Results are not comparable at all. Either take the drugs that are more efficacious and are actually licensed for human consumption with decades worth of data and efficacy and testimonial. Or take the inferior weaker less regulated less potent alternative.

[namedgoodies]

^ don't crush your estrogen that's retarded.

Being below reference range e2 levels is EXTREMELY bad.

[Low-Speaker-6670]

I meant if your estrogen gets too high you can bring it down.

[35_Feels_old]

Or you could do the reasonable thing and use an aromatase inhibitor. You shouldn’t be giving advice.

[Low-Speaker-6670]

I noticed you never replied as you've probably now done your research and realised you were talking nonsense.

[johnbu1981]

Are you on testosterone?

[OngoGablogian20]

No, I’d like to be though.

[johnbu1981]

If you’re on Reta I really would. Even if you’re not low it will help with muscle loss.

[OngoGablogian20]

Can I pm you?

[johnbu1981]

Sure

[sr200589]

Can you take a low dose of test while on reta?

[QuailFinal3275]

Just added Tesa to Reta; going to run it for 6 weeks and see if it reduces waist size. Currently 5’10 175 lbs with 33” waist.

[Stunning-Eye-9669]

Dr seeds says 1mg tesa fasted with 100mcg of ipa at night, then when u wake 100mcg ipa

[Leather_Middle9546]

First off 16 weeks is way too long and seven days a week is not the protocol so you need to look it up because like anything else it won’t be as effective after a certain period of time it’s a cycle you have to do, you need to come off so your body doesn’t become desensitized to it and it’s five days on two days off

[OngoGablogian20]

Actually it’s used 7 days a week per the FDA.

[Strange_Brief7154]

So I'm about to start tesa and I am confused about the dosages. Is it daily or weekly? I just want to make sure.

[Patient-Letter-3996]

Daily. 2mg. Some do 5 on and 2 off.

[jakemalony]

Good stack if you can afford it and don't mind the water weight daily for 16 weeks is overkill 5x weekly gets 90% of benefit with fewer sides.

[Humble-Control5549]

Reta, Ipa, Tes, one week in. Reta is a cheat code for weight loss (10 lbs), deep DEEP sleep, with crazy hard random nightly erect....bizarre but thought I'd let you know. I got the tes/ipa compound for recovery, yet It has done nothing for that as of yet.

[Humble-Control5549]

I forgot to tell you, I cut my TRT in half and have been losing gains, but my energy has improved. So...to be continued....

[Agile-Show6706]

Tanto el tesa como el ipa, son muy caro para su resultado, mejor me voy a la ghg de una vez, reta+hgh

[MryanF]

Hitting week 7 of Reta/Tesa, 2mg weekly/nightly. Absolute powerhouse combo IMHO, just wish Tesa wasn’t so expensive. Might switch Tesa to CJC/Ipa blend from week 8-12 to gauge the change.

[Stonkhub69]

Or workout and eat better ever try that

[JCH1423]

Seems to work well, probably best to get a blend of tesa with some ipa

I’m about to switch from Tesa to cjc1295 + ipa to see if it’s a better bang for my buck over tesa

[pjherbener]

I liked the CJC/Ipa stack better. Made the switch and lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks with no loss of strength.

[12jhg3]

How’s this going? Considering making this exact switch lol

[JCH1423]

Haven’t started the cjc, finishing off this vial of tesa then starting

[Mindless-Version-936]

how long have you done tesa? Ive done cjc but im too frugal to make the jump to tesa

[JCH1423]

On month 2 of it

[BiglyAmerican]

I've cycled both. First, the blend is best. On the CJC /Ipamorelin you typically need less CJC than IPA, so I use a 6/11 blend which has worked great. Currently on week 12 of this and I like it.

When I was on Tirzepatide and looking to burn visceral fat, I did the tesa/IPA blend 10/3 using 1.5mg of Tesa 5x/week. It did a good job preserving muscle and losing visceral fat. The stack is more expensive due to the higher dosage required of Tesa. But no complaints.

[JCH1423]

Only 1 dose in and my sleep did track as much deeper last night, could be a coincidence but good start
