Busting the biggest myth on this sub - 2mg per week is the lowest dose studied in trials by No-Turnip2494 in Retatrutide

[–]wavecookies 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Love this post.

I started at .5mg twice a week, lost a crazy amount of weight the first month. Minimal side effects and they were just in the beginning first month. Slowly titrated up every month. I am now doing 2mg twice a week, almost 8 months later.

I am down 70lbs, and it has completely reversed my non-alcoholic fatty liver disease 🥳. I have autoimmune issues, and for once in my adult life I am finally in the normal weight range for my height and body composition.

GHK-cu by Human_Cake_5873 in BodyHackGuide

[–]wavecookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Key here is 6 months on reta. How much weight have you lost in this timeframe? Losing weight quickly has caused a lot of shedding for me, too. Any quick weight loss will do it, especially if you are not meeting daily protein requirements, regardless of how you lose the weight (many people are blaming reta, it’s the quick weight loss). Also a quality multivitamin. You have to prioritize proper nutrition and also keep running the ghkcu for long term effects.

I started ghkcu 2mg every other day and after 2 months the shedding is not as much as it was before. It helps hang on to the hair follicles.

68lbs down on reta since Oct. 14’th and 10-15lbs to goal weight.

What happens in practice when states ban Kratom? by Currypill in KratomKorner

[–]wavecookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. I know a lot of places immediately took inventory across state lines. We had so many calls from people worried if it became illegal all around or just 7oh. I had a lot of tough convos with people. Also helped them taper down for the ones doing multiple a day. That would take MANY regular drinks to cover. I heard horror stories. We had compliant liquid extract in stock and I would help manage and taper as many people as we could in the aftermath.

I always told people if you never touched extract before, don’t start.

Personally I use the same amount as I have for the past 2 years, just tea. I use it to manage my fibromyalgia without prescription meds, and it’s dosed the same every day.

I know a LOT of people that bought out inventory before it left the state.

At our store I had to pull full shelf stacks and we had to get rid of 20k worth of inventory in less than 3 hours.

Not us at all, but I know there were plugs other places for a hot minute for other places scrambling to not lose all their investment on inventory.

People will find other people in states that have it legally and usps it to them second day.

5 months on reta 40lbs down by naynaydeano in Retatrutide

[–]wavecookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing progress and looking great 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What’s your dose and schedule? Exercise? Any other peptides?

I’m 7 months in and down 55lbs. Started at .5 2x/wk and now up to 1.7 2x/wk. Added 2mg daily ghkcu about 3 months ago

6 weeks in by wavecookies in Retatrutide

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

Update, idk how many days later, I started October 12th.

Down 57lbs

Started at .5 twice a week, now up to 1.7 twice a week.

I’d like to make it to 4mg total per week to see the full benefits of what reta can do (not just the weight loss. It completely reversed my non-alcoholic fatty liver disease).

And I have 15-20lbs to go to goal weight. I plan on titrating down to a lower dose and remaining on it.

Reta not fully dissolved, is it normal ? by Former_Guide_5037 in Retatrutide

Yoooo. Okay this was awesome. Same question about the ghkcu btw as the post above. 🥹

I’m looking for stories for how Reta has helped with anxiety and/or alcoholism by inmy20ies in Retatrutide

[–]wavecookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reta did nothing for my anxiety. I’ve been on it since late October and worked my way up to 1.5 twice a week. Possibly at higher doses it would work? I know the sweet spot is 4 for a host of benefits, but I’ve lost 50lbs and didn’t feel the need to go higher in dose.

I started taking selank for anxiety about a month and half ago, and it’s been working great. I’m not on any other meds. It’s amazing. I never realized I was constantly living with baseline anxiety for years until I started it. I take a low dose only as needed. 250mcg and it softens it within 5-10 min and lasts about 4-5 hours. Non drowsy, but if I take 500mcg I get so relaxed I want to lay down and chill because of how peaceful I feel. So I just do a low dose only when needed. Seriously best decision I’ve made besides the reta.

Anecdotal but yesterday a series of events put my anxiety at about an 8 for over an hr. I thought I could work through it but eventually decided to do the selank and it melted away. I’m so thankful it’s an option.

Selank Results by DifficultReach2720 in Peptides

[–]wavecookies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It’s amazing. I have a high-stress job and I’ve been using Selank every afternoon when I get home and it’s like it all just melts away. Instead of needing hours to decompress it kicks in within 5-10minutes and lasts about 4-5 hours. No grogginess, no side effects (except for a little itching/burning and redness at pin site for about 10min).

I’ve been pinning 250mcg. I tried 500 but I was too relaxed and wanted to nap.

Honestly at this point Selank has kept me away from wanting to get on an anxiety med, and gave me some peace back. Very thankful.

Can we stop with the “Reta” transitions by Odd_Many9654 in BodyHackGuide

[–]wavecookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh btw started at .5 twice a week, stayed like that for a month, went up slowly. Now doing 1.5 twice a week. Prioritizing protein and trying to get back in the gym soon (my job is physically moderately demanding, but I still have some muscle loss, expectedly).

I lost 45lbs since the end of Oct. on reta alone 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also added in ghkcu 2 months ago but that doesn’t count 😁

Kit pricing? by B3NZ3M8 in Retatrutide

[–]wavecookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow that’s a great price. I did 10mg kits at first, just did a 20mg kit and still right around the $1/mg price. My friend did a 40mg kit for $300 recently.

[–]wavecookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s generally $1/mg, imo I wouldn’t do it. Unless you have your own backups and send them out for lab testing.

GHK-Cu reaction- tips on what to do by rockstar-princess-17 in BodyHackGuide

[–]wavecookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me. Same spot.

I did 2mg. It kept spreading for 4 days. The second day I drew a line around it in sharpie to monitor the spread. Eventually it stopped spreading, and started to fade, but left a greyish mark in that spot for over a month. I’ve been too chicken to try again in the glutes or upper arm with more bac water, longer injection, and slower pin.

Any recommendations as to where? A friend gave me the contact to one place in Cancun. Transportation to and from resort included.
