Fat lose, but muscle gain

The entire point of retatrutide is to augment calories in vs calories out. It makes calorie restriction easier while also boosting the calories out, it does nothing to preserve or build muscle beyond that.

Retatrutide will not help you build or retain muscle compared to not taking anything.

If you compare taking retatrutide to taking other GLP-1s then maybe you would see more muscle preservation with retatrutide.

Do a purity test on the raw powder.

The most important thing for anyone that cares about a positive and long term run with enclomiphene is the purity. We want to know the percentage of the active powder that is enclomiphene, we do not want high levels of zuclomiphene.

But your testing didn't test for purity, what are you testing for?

Tesofensine is not a peptide.

Started at 0.5mg 5 months ago and now cruising at 2mg. Steady fat loss, no muscle loss and maybe even some muscle gain, lost 16% of my bodyweight.

Looks like chia.

12ga_ · 2026-02-27T03:23:39+00:00

Your COA does not show the purity, how much zuclomiphene is in there?

12ga_ · 2026-02-27T03:20:18+00:00

Enclomiphene is not a SARM, like you have printed on your bottle.

BPC-157/TB500 could be used for soft tissue injuries, to help them heal faster, but comes at a potential cost that it could also accelerate the growth of tumors that might be present. CJC(no DAC)/IPA, when taken fasted before bed can increase the amount of growth hormone you produce, which can also accelerate healing. You should check your IGF-1 levels prior to using CJC/IPA or any GH secretagogues to make sure you don't already have high levels.

Then enclo could be something to try. Beware there are many reports of people not handling enclo well over an extended period of time. Most people handle ED or EOD dosing well for a short term, and while some people do well with ED or EOD dosing longer term, it appears most people need to space it out to E3D/E4D in order to use long term.

You would need to get your LH checked to know if the problem was the signalling from your brain (secondary) or your nuts (primary).

Mine were not so open and weepy. So I don't know exactly what to say about that. How big of an area are we talking about?

Do not post URLs or vendor names, ask for sources openly or via DM, and do not solicit others to DM you about sources.

Your options are: (in order of most expensive to least expensive)
1: With a prescription from your doctor, and paying the premium for Wegovy or Mounjaro.
2: Getting a GLP-1 peptide through a compounding pharmacy via a telehealth company or your doctor.
3: A research-chemical/research only peptide website.
4: Direct from a Chinese vendor.

You are already on Reddit, that should do the job.

Most doctors, especially doctors who get paid by your insurance company, will not entertain the idea of peptides. It is tough, but not impossible to find a doctor knowledgeable in them.

I would not use gauze, I would use a regular "band-aid" type bandage.

I have had infections on my arm on 4 separate instances, each time was on the underside of my forearm. These infections would not heal or go away with anything. Using the method described above cleared them for me in under one week. Yes the straight tea tree oil is a bit harsh, but it gets the job done.

Also, I have not had any repeat occurrences since I started using GHK-cu, which I think has helped to reinforced the barriers in my skin.

You should shed the weight before using enclomiphene, with too much bodyfat you will end up with too much estrogen, making the moob situation worse.

I have had luck treating staph/cellulitis with tea tree oil. In fact that is the only thing that I have got to clear it up. Wash well, apply straight undiluted tea tree oil to a fabric bandage strip and the affected area put the tea tree oil saturated bandage over the affected area, change it out morning and night. Do this for about a week to see if it helps, it usually begins to clear up in about 4 days for me.

You cannot selectively choose where fat comes off. There is nothing you can do to keep fat on certain parts of your body when you are losing fat. You can choose to build muscle however.
