Snowbird from SoCal about to head North

[happybunny63]

Hello, I started on this path in November when my DH (darling husband) started on semaglutide for weight loss through a monthly online pharmacy program. He was losing weight but was also struggling with lots of fatigue and muscle wasting. We are both 61 y/o. I have an inflammatory autoimmune arthritis so I started researching grey peptides. I started with BPC-157 and sermorelin since there was lots of anecdotal support.
As I went further down the rabbit hole, I started finding more testimonials for better stacks so the following month I switched to Glow and ipamorelin/CJC. My DH was feeling a lot more energy now but he had plateaued with the amount of weight loss and visceral fat in particular seemed resistant to GLP-1 treatment.
So this month I am switching his semaglutide to retatrutide and tesamorelin. I am planning to stay on the Glow and ipamorelin/CJC for now and I think we are now ready to purchase kits.
I just put together my first order for 5 kits (Glow, ipamorelin, CJC, retatrutide, and tesamorelin) through Nexaph and it came out to just over $1000. That is a lot of money. Firstly, I guess I would appreciate some feedback on this particular stack, and second, whether anyone has had any issues bringing this amount of peptides while driving across the US-Canada border. Also, a quick reassurance that Nexaph is a good choice would be appreciated too.

Many people go the Sema to Reta route, I think it is common to taper sema while adding if you are going a full switch- Some are concerned that they experience higher RHR, so be watchful of that, certainly it has greater results in tests than sema for total weight loss. If the Sema is working it may just be time to up the dose.
The muscle wasting can be mitigated with resistance exercise and focus on protein intake, minimum 100 grams a day is what I see mostly.
The Tesa should help with visceral fat as that is the primary use it is prescribed for (It is used to reduce excess fat (lipodystrophy) in the stomach area in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.)
I am considering adding that when I go to adding a little lean weight.
(Can you gain muscle on tesamorelin?
Conclusions: Among those with clinically significant decrease in visceral adipose tissue on treatment, tesamorelin was effective in increasing skeletal muscle area and density.)
(Does tesamorelin cause water retention?
Patients experiencing severe or persistent joint pain should consult their healthcare provider for advice and possible treatment adjustments. Edema, or fluid retention, is another side effect that some patients may encounter.)

I have seen mixed reviews on GLOW, some say the GHK is sufficient, I will let others chime in on this one. As for the CJC, IPA, I cannot provide any feedback, others will I am sure.

No Idea on Canada border-

Nexaph, like most, has mixed reviews. There are those that question the honesty as well as the provenance of the peptides.
I have had no bad experience with them, and have bought a number of items that appear to work as intended, I personally would use them again.

Whew... that was a lot.. lol

Love Cali, spent many years there! Good Luck to the DH and seems like the DW.
