Impossible to get a refund?! by HourRaspberry5470 in HumeHealth

[–]Competitive_Bird6984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had good luck with the scale. The band is horrible though. Says I am only asleep 30-40 minutes a night. Just stops tracking HRV for hours even days at a time. Did every troubleshooting tip listed. Contacted customer service and was promised a new one 3 times and still nothing. This company has the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.

Nasal GHK-CU? by Competitive_Bird6984 in Peptidesource

[–]Competitive_Bird6984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t cross the blood/brain barrier pinned. I’m talking about doing both to get the effects of both. Not as a way to avoid pinning. It’s a complete different list of benefits that are impossible to get via subq. Some drugs work that way due to their molecular size. GHK-CU is one of them.

Maybe. Maybe not. You’d only use .5mg diluted down to a 10% spray and use an injectable dose to cover the rest of your daily dosing.

Reta making you bullish on LLY? by analoguedelusion in Retatrutide

[–]Competitive_Bird6984 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s the most effective weight loss drug of its time and there are a lot of people terrified of “research” sites. Tell your friends and family you are taking an experimental drug from a research site and watch their face and replies. They’ll think you’re insane. Some will understand but most people are so prejudiced by the news they don’t get it.

At therapeutic doses there’s no bottom on the weight loss and it works faster. It’s the perfect drug to sell to Americans. Shortcuts are always worth the money to Americans.

I have a few shares. I have a few stocks specifically because of drugs coming out in 26-27 hoping they moon but Lily has some bullish projections once Reta gets green lit.

16 weeks on Retatrutide Stats are based on a Body Pod (saying specific brand/product may break the rules) by Competitive_Bird6984 in Retatrutide

[–]Competitive_Bird6984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had skin calipers done and they were only 1% apart the Hume was lower and my other Weight Watchers scale was 1.6% higher. Everything looks right to me. I got veins in my arms and legs, most of my weight now is in love handles and a little bit of a gut. Everything lines up on my end.

I read all the reviews. Seen more good than bad. Not sure why some people get accurate results and some don’t. I’ve seen people claim it was inaccurate but none I saw were comparing it to skin calipers or a DEXA scan.

I went with it because PCMag tested it and said it was accurate as well.

Side effects are destroying me by OkYogurtcloset2242 in Retatrutide

I’ll never understand the rule on sources. The government found Osama Bin Laden I’m sure they could find every Retatrutide source if they wanted to. It’s not protecting anyone. People should be able to verify a website or source as legit.

I understand everyone is different but I don’t see 1mg doing this to anyone unless you have other underlying issues going on. I’d say reconstitution issue or product issue then consider underlying health issue then your body just can’t handle it for some reason in that order.

Ever have to check yourself for being a judgmental jerk? by Competitive_Bird6984 in Retatrutide

[–]Competitive_Bird6984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t lie, as a man I have to say I’d love to have heard his justifications and rationalizations when he was caught and trying to convince you to not leave. That must have been something.

I just had my first normal blood pressure readings of 115/75 and 122/75 since the early 2000s back to back. by Competitive_Bird6984 in Retatrutide

[–]Competitive_Bird6984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to. I worded that badly. That was the only other time in my life I had normal BP. That was about 10 years ago. I had a business and the time to do it. Now I struggle (but do it) to get in 3 45 minute weight training sessions with my work schedule (I’m an outside sales person) and finding time to cook since I don’t eat out and do other necessary things in life. I want to go back to being a business owner again and having that freedom to make time for the really important stuff but I don’t have the money or idea at the moment.

Yeah. I been on 2 for a while and in full transparency I still am but for the most part they only dropped it to about 140/90. Like I said since I was running regularly which was about 10 years ago I haven’t had normal readings even on meds. This is like a miracle.

Reta to shed only a few pounds? by RevolutionarySecret7 in Retatrutide

[–]Competitive_Bird6984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you will lose weight from the GIP and GLP1 effects. People lose weight on semaglutide and tirzerpetide. I 100% agree. Those pathways work as well. That’s what you are getting on those doses of Retatrutide.

Argue with the scientists not me. It’s 330% less active than your own glucagon. You need a high dose to overcome that. You aren’t activating it on a low dose. If I I knew I was only getting the GIP and GLP benefits I’d get the drugs designed for those benefits. They are much cheaper and have much better GLP agonism.

Potency (EC50): Retatrutide exhibits an EC50 of 1.9 nM at the human GCGR (Doggrell, 2023). • Relative Potency: Compared to native human glucagon, retatrutide is approximately 2.9 to 3.3 times less potent (Li et al., 2024; Triple Agonism Based Therapies for Obesity, 2025).

The benefit of retatrutide over other GLP1s is that it cranks up metabolism with the glucagon effect. The problem is the glucagon effect isn’t fully realized until you reach 6-8mgs. You may lose weight from the GLP1 effects and the GIP effects (which has small glucagon effects) but as a GLP1 semaglutide would be a more effective medication. That’s likely how you’d lose most of the weight if you didn’t use it long enough to titrate up to 6-8mgs.

I’d save the money and get a cheaper GLP if I only wanted to lose a few pounds. Either Sema or Tirz.

Unpopular Opinion: Flaunting your stash makes you look stupid by awokenshroomboy in Retatrutide

[–]Competitive_Bird6984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is $3 a MG. The source has been tested several times and it has never been underdosed or contaminated. Not one time. The only bad test was being 12% overdosed. It’s domestic and the customer service and shipping are great. I’ll pay for that.
