First Forum Ever …. Am I doing it right? lol

[HalfLifeCrisis]

Hello!
Nice to meet y’all. Here to watch, listen & learn.
Did the Mounjaro shot for about a year when I was lucky enough to get it with the $25/mo savings card. Then had to switch to Zepbound after that went away but $550/mo even WITH the “savings card” was nuts. Thankfully lost the main bulk of the pandemic/lock down weight…about 50lbs (was hoping the world was ending so went overboard on eating anything & everything I wanted with no exercise….BIG MISTAKE since we’re still here lol). Anyway…now on RETA for a few weeks (although it feels like NOTHING compared to tirezpatide so far) + added GLOW+KPV + Cagrilintide + Tesamorelin + NAD+ & gonna start melanotan I next week. Would like to drop a few more lbs & gain some muscle back + help skin/gut in general. Feel better than I have in a while now. Besides using ChatGPT with help on protocols & reconstituting, I ordered this book by MDWilliam A Seeds MD Peptide Protocols: An Introduction to What Peptides Are, How and Why They Work, and How They Can Be Used to Improve Health and Outcomes ….so hope it helps.

Why Melanotan? Curious of your thought process.

Nice work! Sounds like we are similar paths, and you are a couple weeks ahead of me. Switching from Tirz 10mg to Reta in the next month and will slowly titrate down/up. Curious about Glow +KPV. Will be following your posts to see how it goes!!!!

Why Melanotan? Curious of your thought process.

It’s been a long while since I’ve spent a good amount of time in the sun. I’ll be hitting the pool this summer a few days a week and based on my research I was hoping it would help with some added protection from UV rays. Plus, I used to tan really nicely, but I’m so white I’m almost see through right now. 😅

Potential Uses and Benefits:

• Skin Tanning: Melanotan 1 can induce skin tanning without excessive sun exposure, which may reduce the risks associated with prolonged UV exposure like skin cancer and sunburn.
• Photoprotection: It is being studied and used to protect against phototoxicity and potentially reduce the risk of skin cancers related to sun exposure.
• Light Intolerance: Melanotan 1, under the brand name Scenesse, is FDA-approved to treat patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria, a condition where the skin is extremely sensitive to sunlight.

That’s awesome! Definitely keep us all posted on how your Tirz to Reta transition goes. I’ll keep ya posted on the GLOW+KPV. 😃

Thank you! I appreciate the details.
