Does anyone do a daily dosage or micro-dosing reta as oppose to the standard once a week shot.
I currently am 7-weeks on Reta and am doing well. I take a 3mg shot once a week. But yesterday i was watching a YouTube video and a so called " internet guru" was talking about splitting you dose into a daily dose. So in my case in lieu of a 3mg per week shot; i would take a 0.5mg shot 6 days a week and 1 day off.


Figured id see if any one hard any experience with daily dosing and if there were any improved results with daily dosing.
 
oh! i guess i cant post the youtube video. Its against forum rules.
 
Everyday is probably overdoing it, but 2X isn't uncommon and can help keep blood serum levels more consistent. Less food noise, maybe less spiking of your heart rate. I've done every other day before, I didn't see a benefit from it. I do 1mg of Tirz and 1mg of Reta 84 hours apart weekly and it's maintenance for me and works well.

That's for the best. There are thousands of "peptide gurus" with information about "protocols" that are dubious at best.

You can plot your dosage online to see what your concentration would look like, if you want. If you're not having any adverse symptom,s I'm not sure what more frequent dosing buys you.

There's no way I'd want to pin .5mg every day... I did 6 weeks of 2x daily injections and it gets old.

I do Reta 2x weekly to reduce the swings. I don't see a benefit for me to split further.

I personally wouldn’t either unless something became unmanageable, and even then I would probably reduce dosage before I went this route. I split dose my Reta 3.5days apart as well, but it still stands that daily would effectively provide the most consistent blood levels.

It seems like arbitrary consistency for the overwhelming majority of the population.

It does seem like a way to have something to talk about to seem relevant in their space (Youtube Peps).
 
Currently at 4mg once a week. Came from 2.5mg for about 3 months. Never felt the need to split further, once a week has been working well for me.
 
I do once a week, currently at 6mg. Reta is supposed to have a therapeutic threshold of around 3-4mg to achieve the full benefit. If that is true, microdosing is unlikely to have the same effect as a single weekly dose.
 
Daily pins sounds insane to me.

On the other end, pinning once a week sounds insane to me.

My first week I did 0.5mg times 4, this week I did 1mg on Wed and 1mg on sunday. Going to go to 1mg every 3 days from now on. I need the appetite suppressant and I want to maintain momentum.
 
My suggestion for now, don't get your info from YT click mongers. I have looked, but only for mixing and filtering. Up to you.
 
I'm pretty certain that the clinical trials were all weekly doses, so unless you have a particular response to a higher dose I don't see a reason to deviate.
 
I was spooked about sides, so I dosed twice weekly and eventually e3d as I bumped up. I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew. I intend to overshoot eventually and then dose once a week, but I haven't felt confident enough with the results at my current dose.

Side effects aren't terrible. We never got nausea, did get some heart burn at bedtime, but that's easy. It goes away till the next tiration, but even then, not terrible now, if it even happens. That's all I can think of.

Yes, I agree there, but I was worried about cardiac arrhythmia. I'm already shaky. After my third dose, it got pretty bad for a couple days so I held off and dialed back my dose and then slowly ramped back up. Electrolytes seem to have done trick with the ticker.

I'm on Metoprolol 50mg and Lisinopril 10mg for some AFIB I got 3.5 years ago for some killer pneumonia I got that put me in the ICU for 2 weeks, and another 1 week before they would let me out.

You should be extremely careful taking Reta with heart issues, especially A-fib. Reta is known to increase heartbeat which could interfere with your cardiac rhythm and send you to the E.R.

Taurine is often recommended, to take along side Reta. Ai version:
Taurine is an amino acid highly concentrated in the heart that helps regulate heartbeat stability, calcium signaling, and blood pressure. Studies suggest taurine supplementation can reduce heart rate by about 3.6 bpm and reduce premature contractions (PACs/PVCs) by 50%. It is generally considered safe and beneficial for supporting heart rhythm and function. Heart Rhythm Regulation: Taurine helps maintain a steady, regular heartbeat, reducing the incidence of arrhythmia, particularly premature contractions.

All GLP-1's can raise resting heart rate, but Reta is obviously the King here. I take 2000mg of Taurine daily now, 4000mg when I was at 4mg a week of Reta losing weight. I just take 1mg of Tirz & Reta weekly now. Even Nutricost Taurine works well, I tracked my BPM along with my BP for a while and it helped bring it down. My understanding is after a few months of using Reta, the higher BPM when down for most people if someone else can back me up on that.

The pneumonia caused it, and he's only keeping me on this stuff because I have zero side effect from it, and a safety measure, because I used to drink a bunch of beer. I had a nuclear stress test a while back, nothing wrong, no blockages. I actually go to him on Monday. They do a EKG every time. BP is usually around 125/75, I test at home. HR is up maybe 4-6 BPM, and that's some times. It averages 55 when sleeping. O2 is always 98-100%. I appreciate the concern.

Why are you doing both Tirz and Reta?
 
Why not both? Lots of folks on here doing it, works great for maintenace, enough appetite suppression with Tirz and enough Caloric burn with Reta. My labs are great, helps with some of the bad habits I have.
