625 units at once sounds bad but when a vial is 20+ doses that's way below what fda calls harmful. 5 eu/kg is the standard. at 80kg that's roughly 400 per injection. fda says zero is best but the numbers we're talking about are small even per vial.

theoretical question: if rfk actually softens the line on compounded peptides officially, could i use my hsa to shop around? me and my wife have decent savings. even at inflated prices, non-glps might cover a year or eighteen months, zero out of pocket.

Half-life about 6 days. Takes 5 half-lives to hit full strength, 5 to clear your system. Used GLP1s before? Makes a difference for appetite kill. Your dose just hit trial levels — fine to bump until you feel it. Better to blast right and get results than microdose and feel nothing.

on keto after fodmap and elimination. so many veggies and carb stuff kick my gut now. keto's been best in years. ate the same breakfast—eggs, sugar-free sauce, bacon—that's never bothered me before. taking methylated vitamins to cover gaps. feel best fasting.

It's crazy how much drug prices differ in other countries. Some people say they only pay a few bucks in Australia. It's enough to make you want to move!

It's really important to remember that these medications build up in your system over time. Make sure you're carefully logging each dose, so you can track any potential issues or side effects.

I used to spend a crazy amount on food delivery each month. Now I'm saving quite a bit on takeout.

For peptides like BPC-157, microdosing near the injury might make sense, but I doubt it would do anything for Reta. It's systemic, affecting the whole body. Just stick to subq injections in your belly or thigh as directed.

Fantastic work!!! Very inspirational. I'm just starting out, and my stats are quite similar to where you began. Did you reach the highest dose, or did you stick with a particular dosage? I've done four weeks at 2.5mg and am increasing my dose next time. You're an inspiration! 😁

I keep seeing people mention that Reta increases resting heart rate. Guess I'm lucky (or my 1.5mg dose is too low) because I haven't experienced that at all.

Stick to light drinks and avoid hard liquor, and you should be okay. Hard alcohol makes me revisit my dinner.

I'd go ahead and see what happens. Just keep an eye on things.

I didn’t start losing until I got up to 1mg.

Amazing achievement! Best of luck with maintaining your progress. Hoping everything goes smoothly.

The runs were epic when I drank while on the shot. Thought it was just the shot, but cutting out alcohol (even just two drinks every couple weeks) fixed it. Everyone's different, but I delay the shot before events where I might drink, just in case.

Blood levels peak around 24-48 hours post-injection, a bit slower than some other GLPs. It builds up slowly, so timing shouldn't matter much. After the first dose, you might notice when the effects kick in and adjust your timing then. If you don't notice any effects, it really doesn't matter...

You've found your bottleneck. Continuing to lose weight is a side effect of increasing the dose.

I'm on 1.7mg and having issues with hunger and sugar cravings - some food noise is back, especially at work, and I'm drinking more alcohol. My weight hasn't changed in a month despite my best efforts, and weight loss has been very slow for the last year. I average around 1300-1500 calories a day...

Happy early Valentine's Day [mention]!! Keep making improvements for yourself!

Yeah, thankfully I only had mild ISRs near the end of my cycle/vial. I don't know if it was the peptide degrading or antibodies building up. I'm guessing it was the antibodies. But the endurance I got for cardio was amazing, even better than SLU.
