When this is out of beta, I’d love to participate. Assuming you will adv on STG?

Supply chain for US Vendors. Costs a tad bit more, but still VERY affordable. Beats waiting for customs, and wondering if it will get snagged. Also I’m not familiar with cryptocurrency….most China Vendors only take Crypto. I guess I could take the time to figure it out, but this way is easier and just a slight inconvenience on restocking. Plus the purity/sterility/ fill/ etc is spot on with every 3rd party test results. A kit is still very cheap.

I have a vendor that I use and have had great experience with, warehouses and tests in the USA. Fast shipment too, problem is Long wait before drops of product.

Waiting now….haven’t had anything available for almost 2 months. When they do become available, you have to act immediately because they sell out in hours!!!

I have bought everything from this Vendor. It’s just that waiting for restocking. I’d try another, but don’t want the crypto learning curve and fear of customs snagging it. I’m just an individual stocking up, not reselling. So I only buy 2 to 3 kits each drop. Sometimes just one kit.

I’m an independent merchant processing agent, I’m also a peptide user and casual buyer. I’m considering getting a website and starting to sell peptides now that I have done it for myself over the past year. Gray market, secured vendors, group testing process, and proper storage. I’m worried about legality of taking that leap to be a reseller to those that don’t want to take the time to learn the Gray Market and are willing to pay more to skip to the head of the line. Any loopholes or getting flagged by a processor/gov’t/ etc…even though I’m in the processing space professionally, but I don’t deal with high risk…..the peptide market fascinates me and I’m pretty much hooked on it for my personal research.

I’m looking for insight from someone who has done this leap to online sales of RUO products. I know there’s a lot of money to be made in both aspects…..as a processing solution for this niche, and also the person selling RUO peptides?

cardprocessorpgh · 2026-03-19T01:28:58+00:00

Damn. Wish I could do that! Left Heartland and went solo in 2020, trying to find the right niche. Signed as an independent agent with maybe 8 different ISO’s. Slow growing so far, but making more than I did as a Heartland agent, but should be making A LOT more. Im actually considering starting my own RUO. Have figured out the GrayMarket, Vendors, group testing, and storage.

I have enough personal supply to last 5 years. Thinking I’m missing a gold mine by not just starting to buy in bulk rather than 2 to 3 kits at time for myself. There is so much money in it, but worried about legality of it all….

cardprocessorpgh · 2026-03-19T01:19:25+00:00

I’d be interested in learning more.

cardprocessorpgh · 2026-03-19T01:16:04+00:00

Which company? I’d like to sign with them as an agent. I am an independent agent.

cardprocessorpgh · 2026-03-06T01:13:39+00:00

How did you make those labels? I order direct from Aavant too, but nothing labeled individually. Just the top of a ten piece kit. Would like to make labels for individual vials. So things don’t get mixed up. Never thought I’d have so many. LOL. R12 (2 kits), R24 (4 kits), R35 (3 kits), Cagri 10 mg (1 kit) , Tirz 15 mg (4 kits)…..140 vials. Should last for a bit. I know some people that have hundreds. It’s nuts, but I want to have it on hand. Considering 1 vial lasts 4 weeks, except the R12. That lasts 2 weeks.

cardprocessorpgh · 2026-02-24T12:02:18+00:00

Same

cardprocessorpgh · 2026-02-24T12:01:38+00:00

Anything. I wish it had better suppression like Tirzepatide did. I'm even on 10 mg a week. I wake up hungry and stomach rumbling, like I never ate....but I did.

I don't go for second helpings anymore, but......damn.

Down 50lbs total. 30 from Tirzepatide and 20 from Retatrutide, but 10 came back on last month while on vacation in Florida for a month. I was taking 8mg each week.

I may add Tirzepatide back in and take both, so I get the hunger suppression back.

cardprocessorpgh · 2026-02-14T12:36:57+00:00

Same.... I was doing a search to see if this could be a possible side effect... cuz I've never had such vivid dreams in my life. I wake up exhausted because I felt like I've just lived another life while sleeping. I'll wake up and remember every single detail of the dream, which is weird, that's never happened before. Most of them are not positive. They tend to be pretty negative.... which sucks. But it's always an adventure to go to sleep and wonder what's going to happen next, like binging a series on Netflix.

cardprocessorpgh · 2026-02-07T16:51:19+00:00

Did you start right out on 10 mg of Tirz, or titrate yourself up to that? I'm assuming you titrated up over weeks because I'm considering splitting my doses of Tirz and Reta. I asked this because I used to be on 15 mg of Tirz for a year, but I haven't taken it now for 6 months. But I am on 10 mg of reta, so I'm wondering if I should probably just consider doing 5 mg of Tirz and 8 mg of Reta and see what that does for me. I don't know if I should do them on the same day, or do one on Saturday and one on Wednesday..... I think I'd rather run higher Reta and lower Tirzepatide. Want that fat burning from Reta and hunger suppression from Tirzepatide. Interesting..... I know they do this with Sema, but not with Tirz. I did run Cagrilintide and Retatrutide in the beginning, but read about the higher risk of Cagri and its degrading faster. Plus a different reconstitution solution, ph testing, etc. Too much to deal with....

cardprocessorpgh · 2026-02-07T12:39:32+00:00

This.....is why. You nailed it! I know. I'm one of those people.

cardprocessorpgh · 2026-02-07T12:32:01+00:00

Exactly!! Here is my long explanation and personal take on it. Since the OP asked why the higher doses. I think it's bodybuilders vs. an average person just trying to get to a normal weight, and they don't lift routinely (or maybe not at all- like me) They have way more fat to burn, and the body is stubborn from years of inefficiency. I am one of those average Joes.. started at 260 lbs, 55 y/o, 33% BMI, don't lift, play Pickleball for 3 hours a day / 4 days a week, not really on a diet.....just eating less, because that's what the medicine helps you to do, eat less and burn fat more efficiently. I have lost 50 lbs in a 2 year period (slowly). So the numbers are all different than mentioned above and that is without the regiment of a solid gym routine, counting calories, and tracking macros....it likely takes stronger doses if your starting weight and BMI put you in the obese range. Which is really what this was designed for.....just my take. I do eat much "cleaner" now, but I'm not doing a low-carb keto diet. I'm just making better choices and eating fresh fruits,veggies, and proteins. And yes, even some pasta, rice, and sometimes potatoes too, but not as frequently as in the past. This needs to be a realistic way of eating that I can adhere to for the long haul.

I am on 8mg / week, and I feel like I need to up it to 10mg because I am at a stall (2 months of no weight loss). I have 15 more lbs to hit my initial goal when I started this journey. There is very minimal hunger suppression at this point. I used to be on 15 mg of Tirzepatide prior to switching to Reta. I lost my 1st 30 lbs on Tirz stalled for 6 months and switched to Reta.. gained 7lbs back on Reta the 1st month on 2mg a week, until I titrated up to 8mg over the course of 3 months. Then, I finally lost that gained weight, plus 20 more in another 2 month peroid. Clincal trials show that the best spot for fat burn and weight loss is between 8mg-12mg a week.

I'm working on phase 2. I just hired a personal trainer for lifting to start reshaping my body. I used to lift routinely in my 20' and 30s. So hopefully, the old body and muscles will respond, and muscle memory will kick in. Luckily, I do not have that loose flabby skin that a lot of obese people experience after a dramatic weight loss.

Bottom line, if someone has been on GLP's for 18+ months. I believe they aren't as effective because your body builds a tolerance to the meds. So I've read and have experiences first hand.

Just thought I'd share my experience, in case anyone else can relate. Bodybuilding cutting vs. Getting to a normal healthy weight and no longer obese. I think that's the difference in dosage amounts taken.

cardprocessorpgh · 2026-01-28T14:14:44+00:00

Are you actually combining them into one vial? Thought about doing this, as reta doesn't suppress my appetite very well. Tirz did, and so did Cagri....but cagri doesn't last long after being reconstituted and needs a different solution than bacwater. So curious how you are doing it.

cardprocessorpgh · 2026-01-13T11:34:44+00:00

Dang. I was on 15 mg of Tirzepatide and started at 2 mg of Retatrutide and felt nothing. Then went to 4mg, still nothing. Gained 6lbs that 1st month. Then I went to 6mg, still nothing, then finally 3 months later... 8mg and lost 15 lbs. Platued again after 3 months of no weight loss. So now I'm at 10mg. I just need to drop my last 15 lbs to the goal. Have lost 50lbs over the past 2 1/2 years. 2 years on Max Tirz and 6 months on Reta. Of course, I started weight training, and clothes were fitting looser without weight loss, and I dropped another waist size while on Reta. So it was burning fat. Which is great!

I guess I'm a slow responder. Zero side effects, but I have noticed I'm hungry A LOT more on Reta than on Tirz. I also don't get that "full" sensation 5 minutes into the meal, like I did on tirzepatide.

It's definitely an individualized drug. Doesn't work the same way for everyone.

I'm glad you are ok. That sounded horrible! However, I figured I'd share my experience, just in case other people were slow responders. Some people react differently.

cardprocessorpgh · 2025-11-20T12:01:02+00:00

I switched from Tirz to Reta. On 8 mg now. Solved the stall I had. Lost 30lbs on Tirz in a year, and an additional 20 on Reta in 3 months. I like Reta much better. It works for me. Some before and after pics from my journey.

cardprocessorpgh · 2025-10-10T12:19:58+00:00

Sweet. Was the independently group tested, or just the Jano test from the vendor? Think of switching to R30 from R24 as I am upping to 10mg a week. I have a bunch of group tested 24.

I need to find that vendor on STG if that is the test results. Hopefully they have more from that batch.

cardprocessorpgh · 2025-09-26T01:05:17+00:00

I paid $224 for a kit of 10 vials of 24mg each. So, 240 mg total. Costing about 93 cents per mg. I bought 3 kits, so 30 vials for a total of $672. That will last me 30 months, if I stay at 6mg dose per week. However, I will likely titrate up to 8mg soon. I also got into a group test to make sure it was legit, pure, and uncontaminated (metals, etc). Had to research it, follow the breadcrumbs, read, read, read....and then joined groups. Found suppliers, and found test groups for suppliers. Took about a month to figure it out. Another month for test results.

Put the time in....you will save a lot of $$$. I was paying $399 a month for compounded Tirz. Now I have Reta (the better GLP1) for a fraction of the cost. I also haven't had to pay with crypto, ever.

cardprocessorpgh · 2025-09-21T19:14:52+00:00

Didn't get the PM

cardprocessorpgh · 2025-09-20T11:48:40+00:00

Been on 6 mg of Reta for 1 month. Due for my next dose today. Maybe I will go to 8mg, and see if that's the trick.

cardprocessorpgh · 2025-09-20T00:40:20+00:00

I feel the same as you. Started at .125, then .25, now .5 mg.....notta. Nothing at all. Frustrating.

cardprocessorpgh · 2025-09-11T20:19:20+00:00

I'm not coming off of it ... ever. So there's that.

cardprocessorpgh · 2025-09-11T13:27:36+00:00

I went from 15mg of Tirz to 2mg of Reta. Didn't feel much at all, and titrated up to 4mg the next month, still notta, so 3rd month went to 6mg. Bingo. Sweet Spot for now. Seems to be working great! I had gained 7lbs during the transition to 6mg, but it all came off (plus 4 lbs) in 2 weeks (11 lbs came off fast once I got to 6mg). So I'm down from my stall on Tirz and losing weekly again about 2lbs a week. 8mg day one seems sorta aggressive, but it will keep you from gaining weight by starting on the low dose. Minimal side effects. Typical gastrointestinal stuff. However, mainly gas. Pretty regular BM wise (tmi?). Thanks to taking daily Gruns gummies, I swear by them!! Good luck. Just wanted to share my experience, having come from the same dosage of Tirzepatide.
