How much is enough

latviantower said:
Max dose 15 mg/week x 52 weeks = 780 mg/60 = 13 vials of 60 mg each. 130 vials for 10 years, double that in order to take care of friends, family, gym bros, hairdresser, neighbors, etc.

So my ideal stash would be 26 kits.

I was happy to finally see the math as that is what I was going to comment. Then you 10x the total. For me, it's reta and I figure titrating up and ending at a max dose of 12mg/week. Once I am there the "maintenance" dose I have found is relatively low like 1-2mg/week (Probably just broscience at this point since nothing is in studies yet). I figure I could be just fine on 3-4 kits of R50.
 
I went from getting a couple vials from a domestic source and now currently tracking 4 shipments after receiving 4 already this month. Started with Reta and has expanded from there but I don't feel like you ever have enough supply. I feel the same with Peptides as my wife does with chickens, only plan to get a few but you never have enough even after the next one you say no more lol.

And bonus is your peptides will last for ages, so you're actually thinking long term strategy here. No offense to the chicken collecting wife.

From Gemini AI:
  • Survival Instinct: When the brain perceives a scarcity of resources, it triggers primal survival instincts to gather and store items to protect against future shortages. This provides a sense of emotional safety and control.
I have now stored more than 5 years worth. Intellectually I know that we are just in the beginning of the peptide weight loss era and that in the next 5 years there will be new generations of better peptides and that competition will drive down the prices. Emotionally, I can never, ever gain back the 114lbs that I lost. I plead guilty to hoarding peptides. Even though it isn't rational, at some deep level I feel better knowing that no matter what happens, I won't be looking back at that fat person in the mirror.

It did! And it does. I have adjusted dosage to account for 52 mg tirz and 14 mg reta and am actively researching this unintentional blend. I just had labs done as well and fasting glucose, insulin and A1C look great. Also wearing a CGM - no hypoglycemia concerns.

I have about 5 years of retatrutide, at current dose. Currently near max dose. I plan on stacking more, especially as the price is under 0.5$/mg.

Do you think prices of R will continue to drop over time? It's 2.5 months later and the price per mg you mentioned is still about the same.
 
I would be interested in seeing some market data on that

Like maybe someone could run some sort of GPT on the vendor posts in this forum

I might be talking out of my ass on that, as I know, nothing about technology

But hopefully you get the direction I’m going in

Because the first kit of Reta 30 I bought this past fall for around $270 and the kit that I bought last week was closer to $150

You just proved my point .50 per mg x 30 mg = $15 x 10 vials = $150, so the price per mg that Habibibi mentioned back in November is still aound .50 per mg.

Took sema and tirz prices quite a while to decline and stabilize. Then sema declined even more as Reta took off.

If eloralintide takes off, especially as a combo with tirz as EL is headed to trials with, I would expect tirz to stay at current levels ($0.3/mg) and reta to drop.

What I’m saying is that I want market data, rather than random data points. When Habibibi paid in November, he paid less than I did at that time. Did he coincidentally buy from the only vendor who was selling for $150 at the time? Did I buy from the only vendor who sold for $270 at the time? Did I happen to just find his vendor only recently? Was his vendor the first to cut price? How prevalent is the $150 now vs back then?

If we’re looking for trends, we need to compare the average of multiple prices from Nov 2025 against the average of multiple prices being charged today (preferably using data from the same vendors at both points in time).

I hear you, but you overpaid for sure.

Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t. That conclusion depends on many factors, including (but not limited to) whether the price I paid was above or below the average market price at the time.

For me, the price was just right. All but one of the vendors I had considered buying from charged more (I still have the excel spreadsheet I used to compare prices). Equally relevant was the fact that: it came from a vendor I trusted (at the time), who gave me the payment terms I preferred (at the time), and delivered within the timeframe I wanted (at the time), from a warehouse location I preferred at the time.

I don’t know where Habibibi got his R30, but if it didn’t meet my requirements, it could have cost $5 and I would not have purchased it.

In other words, Habibibi and I might have been in slightly different markets.

Regardless, if you’re looking for gross trends regarding nominal pricing, 2 data points does not a trend make.

I paid 200 for a kit around the same time that you did from a supplier that was generally well regarded on here.

Yes. Prices won't drop every month, but they will move down. A year ago, R30 for 350 was a good price. 6 months ago, R30 for around 300 was a good price.

I got R50 for a little over $300 last summer (60 cents per tested mg).

Now there is R40 for $195 (44 cents per tested mg):

Sema/Reta Stacking?

Hey everyone, looking for any feedback/experience you all may have. I have been on GLPs for a little over a year and have lost ~90 pounds. I started on sema from a local med spa, and switch to tirz when it became available because of the cost savings. About 2 months ago I made the switch to...

That might be great evidence of a downward trending pricing

But it might also reflect a clearance price for items that don’t move as quickly

On the testing end, I’ve seen that there is not as much demand for testing for R40, and which might suggest it’s a less popular product. And that might be due to the fact that most ppl need a lot less Reta per mg to see results.

It also could be a combination of declining prices and lack of demand for that size

One thing is for sure: Time will tell
