I don't know how universal my experience is, but I found that tirzepatide tends to make me constipated and reta causes diarrhea. For me, the key is finding a balance.

I suspect that significant weight loss will make most people happier, at least in the short term. Occasionally, a person who blamed a huge number of their problems on being overweight will become upset when having lost weight, the person still feels the same way. I confess that I read some...

When people lose weight, they typically lose some muscle too. It's a normal part of weight loss. It's generally pretty difficult to lose weight without losing some muscle.

We could easily increase the number of pages if we people were willing to post pictures.

The bidet works great. Granted, I’d be even happier if I didn’t have to run to the toilet so often.

I already hated UPS.

It appears to be a good thing that I stocked up a few months ago. I have a supply that will last longer than a year. I was hoping that this tariff thing would end soon. However, it seems that it’s going to be going on for a long time, with Trump repeatedly adding new tariffs, then backing...

One of the reasons I’m reluctant to use crypto is that I don’t understand it despite having tried to. I have used crypto. I just don’t like doing so.

Now is a good time to buy. I already have a case.

Agreed. I take reta too. However, I will not advise anyone that the medicine won't cause death because without the clinical trials having been completed, I can't give a less severe worst case outcome.

I have no problem with new users making complaints. And I think it's great that folks here express their opinions as well. I could recommend that new users go elsewhere, but they'd probably get worse advice. Many people got to read the post and replies; they may have learned something by...

When I had a similar situation with Best Buy, Best Buy sent me another shipment for free. However, that was with a big US retailer, a situation unlike that of buying from overseas drug dealers.

Buy from a somewhat reputable Chinese vendor. This forum is as good a place as any to find one. You could also try Peppys to get advice. Go with a vendor that many folks order from. If a vendor supplied many forum members, there will be negative posts. That's okay. Read those posts. Then...

It appears we'll continue to have changing tariff policies. However, it does seem the Trump administration will remain too unfocused to be able to clamp down on GLP-1 drugs.

I heard they voluntarily took it down because there equipment supposedly is damaged. I interpret that as meaning that BFF is facing some sort of supply problems.

I don't filter my peptides. Janoshik wrote: "Given what I've seen around during all the years, infections from subcutaneous injections are... extremely rare even with the worst of practices."

What I heard, and what I experienced during my one purchase of 25 vials of Hospira BAC water, is that the medical supply places will state that a person must upload their medical license in order to purchase the BAC water but that they don't enforce this. I believe I recall reading that...

I just order Hospira BAC water domestically. I'm not commenting about the sterile water because I don't know.

I don't mind the insults. I do mind having paid for a product that didn't arrive.

That's why I didn't view less than $1 per mg as the going rate for reta.

The going rate is not under $1.

It doesn’t really matter whether this is from the real Tracy or not. I know it’s extremely unlikely I’ll ever receive the Reta I paid for. Unless I receive it, I’ll never buy from Tracy again and would advise others to avoid buying from Tracy.

I doubt either Tracy or Tuk pulled exit scams. By that, I don't believe that they sold product intending to rip folks off. As to Tracy, it's more likely that the Chinese authorities shut him down. As to Tuk, it sounds like she ended up sending bunk and didn't want to make it right. I'm not...

I can see that you're counting when Barron Trump takes over as being a new administration.

Both SRY and SSA are considered reliable vendors. However, QSC and ASC were reliable vendors until they disappeared with people's money. I'm not telling you that it doesn't matter which vendor you choose; you'll do far better by selecting from the reliable vendors. SSA, SRY, and Nexaph are...

Exploitedworkerbee is very much in the anti-Nexa club. He is our moderator. He's a good moderator. And he knows a great deal about peptides. Still many folks on this forum use Nexaph regularly and sing its praises.

For PGB prices to be considered good, they generally have to be compared with the cost of buying from another place and then paying for testing. I'm not knocking PGB; my last order was from PGB. PGB does a good job of testing their product. For that reason, most buyers from PGB, even those...

As to whether any peptide is good quality, I leave that to the folks that run the tests. E.g., Janoshik & Peptide Testing. I can reliably assess how hard it was to deal with a particular vendor. However, if I stop losing weight after trying a particular product, well, people stall while taking...

Does anyone know what my ultrasound from today shows? I don't see the endocrinologist until Friday of next week. This is what the radiologist wrote: US Abdomen Complete REASON FOR EXAM: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) COMPARISON: None TECHNIQUE...

Panda obviously works for the Chinese. Panda bear? Doesn't that give you a clue. The few pandas that occupy US zoos are all Chinese agents. You think they just sit around all day doing nothing? Wrong. They're spying on us.

That just means that they'll find a new way of getting the stuff to the US warehouse. SRY will not abandon us so long as we continue to pay.

I'm more worried about what the Chinese government is going to do to stop this than I am worried about the US government. Considering that Trump is only going to enforce the de minimis rule against China, the way to get around the de minimis rule is pretty obvious. I've noticed that the...

Yes we can. That's when we're most likely to get away with it.

We wouldn’t conduct a trial with a treatable form of cancer where we give a placebo. That would be unethical. Instead we use a conventional treatment and a treatment that we hope will work better.

This data is from 2023. Obviously the numbers will turn out to be much larger for 2024.

Washington Post, Americans spent $71 billion on GLP-1 drugs in 2023 - 
Spending on Ozempic, Wegovy and similar prescriptions soared 500 percent in five years, according to a research letter (Apr. 21, 2025), unlocked article. https://wapo.st/3RN38jj

The newer machines are great. They're quieter, auto-adjust, and most keep detailed data so that you or your doctor can see how well you breathe while you slept.

Wall Street Journal, Americans Are Obsessed With Protein and It’s Driving Nutrition Experts Nuts - Food companies pack the nutrient into candy, coffee and even water; ‘How about a chicken breast, people?’

T hat a different drug with a similar name.

I wouldn't switch to orforglipron, however many folks likely avoid GLP-1 drugs due to a desire to avoid injecting themselves. Perhaps this drug will be more affordable than the good weight loss drugs now out there.

Or for Eli Lilly' take, read its press release: Lilly's oral GLP-1, orforglipron, demonstrated statistically significant efficacy results and a safety profile consistent with injectable GLP-1 medicines in successful Phase 3 trial

WSJ, Lilly’s First Pill for Diabetes, Weight Loss Shows Positive Study Results: The drug helped lower blood sugar and cut an average of 16 pounds, unlocked article...

And if the pharmacy is going to order through non-official channels, then the pharmacy ought to send a sample to Peptide Testing or Janoshik.

It sounds like CBP is looking for something other than GLP-1 peptides.

I'm hesitant to say that cost is irrelevant without knowing someone's finances.

Studies show that semaglutide generally doesn't result in as much weight loss as tirzepatide. Far less thorough studies show that retatrutide results in greater weight loss than tirzepatide. Semaglutide works great for most people. Semaglutide would be the equivalent of the latest iphone if...

I agree as to buyers should be prepared for delays. With that said, it's not like buying prescription Zepbound is a uniformly smooth process. My pharmacy rarely has Zepbound in stock, although now it usually gets it in a day or two. The last time I ordered any, the pharmacy told me that the...

Tuk was "vetted." She had a good reputation. There were a few old-timers like exploitedworkerbee that would constantly state that you can't rely on a vendor with a good reputation because sometimes they turn bad. Then I saw it happen with Tuk.

The vendors will find a way to sneak it into the US. The prices won't go up much.

I agree that Eli Lilly extending the trials suggests good results in the stage 3 trials so far. Still we are talking about studies that have not yet completed.
