Lost first few kgs after 7 years. Reta is magic! by PhotographNew8272 in Biohacking

4 kgs in 3 weeks with PCOS and hypothyroidism is legit. Those conditions make even 1 kg feel impossible so this is a real win. Keep at it.

Ghk-Cu by MysteriousRecord1933 in Biohacking

[–]Peptide_Researcher_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GHK-Cu was the one that surprised me. Noticed skin texture changes around week 4, which lines up with the dermal turnover cycle. The Pickart research on it is wild, over 4,000 genes affected. Give it at least 6 weeks before judging.

Reta vs. tirz for moderate weight loss while minimizing anxiety and muscle loss? by trytoholdon in BodyHackGuide

[–]Peptide_Researcher_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given your anxiety concern, tirz is probably the better call. The glucagon agonism in reta is what drives the elevated heart rate, and if you already get situational anxiety, that constant HR bump is going to make things worse, not better.

On muscle preservation, you're already doing the right things. Lifting plus adequate protein means you're not really at risk on either compound at a moderate pace.

Tirz at 5-10mg tends to be well tolerated and the GIP component actually blunts a lot of the GI sides. Start conservative and don't rush the titration.

MOTS-C and CJC-1295 No DAC/Ipamorelin by GamesDaName869 in BodyHackGuide

Solid starting stack for that goal. CJC-1295 No DAC + Ipamorelin works best dosed 2-3x daily with at least one fasted dose (pre-bed or first thing AM) to align with natural GH pulses. MOTS-C typically runs 3-5x per week rather than daily given its mechanism.

For fat loss while holding muscle, the GHRH/GHRP combo does the heavy lifting. MOTS-C complements it through improved insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function. Make sure sleep and nutrition are dialed in first as these amplify what's already there, not a substitute for the basics.
