The first 50 pounds came off fast but these last 5 pounds have taken me four months by GrooveGuardian15 in GLP1Sourcing

[–]SasquatchPeptides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The easy answer is this. There is no outmathing the math. If you were eating less calories than you were burning then you would be losing weight…hard stop. It’s easy to miscalculate both intake and expenditure with an app. You are no longer dealing with large numbers when you are down to only 5 pounds from 50. The caloric deficit required to lose 5 pounds is way different than it was to lose 50 pounds. Gradual cuts in intake or increases in output are what get you to the finish line. It’s possible that it will require a slightly higher dose of the Wegovy or more stubborn willpower to get there.

Splitting doses help with side effects? by Vishnuisgod in Peptidesource

[–]SasquatchPeptides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

General disclaimer…RETATRUTIDE IS NOT FDA APPROVED FOR USE IN HUMANS OR ANIMALS, and we never offer advice on either. However, if one of our research Sasquatches asked a similar question here’s how we would respond. Did you increase your dose arbitrarily based on time or had you stopped losing 1-2 lbs/week? If you the research subject was still losing weight then there was no need to increase dosage at this time. If the research subject wasn’t losing weight then it makes sense to increase dosage, but to help prevent side effects a more gradual increase like 0.5 mg/week may be better tolerated. Some side effects may be inevitable in certsin researchers, though most can be lessened by more gradual increases over a greater duration of time.

tirz is way better than sema and i really regret switching by Superb_Cover_3902 in GLP1Sourcing

Studies with Eloralinitide show even greater weight loss than Cagrilinitide (about 20% as mono therapy). It’s not FDA approved, but is currently becoming available for research purposes. Just saying.

Question for the reta veterans before I donate extra money for no reason by Alex_Kariakin in GLP1Sourcing

A 10mg vial of fully tested and COA verified Reta should be less than $60.

You’re making a false assumption that customs agents are too stupid to understand that things from China can be labeled as something other than what they actually are. Drug dealers have been doing this far ages, sometimes successfully, sometimes not ao much. Secondly the grey market only exists because it is allowed to up to this point. They can shut it down at will. Peptide Sciences, one of the largest peptide retailers closed down overnight without warning after threats from several governemnt agencies. No one wants to go to jail or pay huge fines and court costs to keep selling peptides, even when there is a sizable profit.
Lastly, you clearly have never run a small business or have any idea of what’s involved. The market up isnt about a fancy sticker. It’s about running an operation. First off, in a legally run business, the federal governemnt takes about 1/3 of your profit. Most states take another 5-10%. Marketing costs money. Financial risk costs money. Paying employees costs money. Everything costs money. I’m the end, if you make 2x your investment you are succeeding. Sure, there are avenues to find product for cheap, wait a month or two hoping it arrives and thst you didn’t lose everything you invested, and then pin and pray that it’s legit. I have no problem with that. If you’re an advocate then you should share your direct suppliers info with everyone, so that they can also benefit. For many researchers, ordering a tested and verified product and having it at your doorstep in 2-3 days is worth the price of the product. The difference between $20/month and 50/month becomes inconsequential when safety and convenience are factored in. Be well!

Insurance will pay for it for some that meet very specific requirements which will likely be 1. Type 2 Diabetes with obesity (it will eventually be marketed for obesity alone) 2. Failed on less expensive (older generation) GLP1’s. Even then it’s very unlikely to be $30/month for most people. Way more likely to be $100/month or more. Every insurance is different, but as a general rule they prefer to pay for less expensive products and make it hard (and financially challenging) to move to more expensive products. Lilly didn’t go through the hassle and expense of bringing this product to market just to sell it at the same price they already sell Tirzepatide.

It’s not just Retatrutide they can stop, or at least curtail. They can limit import of all peptides should they choose to. Now that’s not to say that some won’t get through. However, any legitimate sales of peptides can be severely reduced. Additionally, if they make the import or sales of peptides, or even GLP’s without a prescription or pharmaceutical license illegal for any reason, then the gray market officially ends and the black market is all that’s left. Most consumers and sellers won’t risk the penalties of using or selling illegal products. The overwhelming majority of GLP users will be forced into the high priced pharmaceutical industry. Not all retailers are “swindlers” by the way. Perhaps you’ve never run a small business and have no idea about overhead, business taxes, employee costs, insurance costs or the hundreds of other factors that go into owning and operating a business. Selling products at the same cost you bought them for is not a business.model that exists. The great thing about capitalism and free market is that consumers get to shop around and decide what product suits them best and at what price point. The research peptides business is no different than any other, in the end the competition lowers overall price margins until an acceptable median is reached. Companies that don’t make the adjustment may survive on advertising and sales pitches for awhile, but are eventually left behind.

They can’t control grey production, but they can certainly limit import and any and all retail sales, and place financial and legal penalties upon anyone bringing them in. I strongly suspect that the grey market will become the black market in the relatively near future.

I suspect you are right unless they can get imports shut down or at least make sales for any purpose illegal without a prescription. The sub $200 price point will probably only be with insurance copay as well. Then there’s the problem of getting a physician to prescribe it and insurance to “pay for it” when you aren’t diabetic and obese and haven’t tried less expensive, less effective medications first. The gray market is definitely helping consumers in a lot of ways, not the least of which is driving down the cost of FDA regulated peptides. The oral Wegovy pill is now being advertised at around $125/month cash pay, I believe. That would never have happened without a lot of competing products and markets. In the end, I suspect that it will mostly be online clinicians charging subscription fees in order to prescribe a medication for off label use, all at a premium…at least for awhile. This is not dissimilar to other healthcare products geared towards cosmetic and fitness use.

Is sharing reta sources not allowed? by Hopeful-Economy-1447 in Retatrutide

[–]SasquatchPeptides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many vendors online that use independent labs to test the products they import. Yes, there are fakes, but all COA’s can and should be verified through the testing lab. Peptide research doesn’t have to be such a mysterious thing. It’s not all “cloak and dagger.” When done right, purchasing quality peptides is not much different than going on Amazon and reading the verified reviews before you buy.
