Hey everyone! I've been perusing as a non registered all day, and I'm very grateful to have found this. I got frustrated deep diving reddit and other sites and finally stumbled upon something that allows free'r talks and doesn't feel as scammy as all the random links I stumble upon.
My journey into GLP1s is fresh (still running through my first 20mg reta) after I dialed in my nutrition and consistent exercise regiment. I first delved into the peptide world on youtube for an ankle injury, which led me down the rabbit hole of reta on a youtube channel (let me know in comments if I'm allowed to mention this person, this is not a sneaky promo). He was knowledgeable and had his own community and his own website, so I started buying my peptides from there, probably due to some mental conditioning having the person "teaching" be the supplier. I was overwhelmed with how expensive this stuff is, still am, especially because a few peptides I'm interested in are incredibly expensive, but my reta dosing seemed a reasonable price short term in comparison to other easy to source "US" companies.
I'm currently paying $180 for 20mg of reta, which will last me 10 weeks if I don't titrate up. Y'all will probably think that is insane, now that I've dove into all the forums here and seen what people are paying for kits (similar cost but 10x the product it seems). I'm about to get a few kits of various peptides I want to try throughout the year for varying reasons; I'm seeing 2-3 of the same companies repeated often as reputable in recent weeks here.

Background:
- 6' 2", 209 lbs, 19% body fat (might not be your average GLP1 user, but finding really beneficial results as someone trying to improve muscle and health, my end goal is 10-12% BF)
- Back into the gym this year after a few year hiatus (had kids, got busy, put on 20-30 lbs)
- I weight lift 5 times/week, nutrition is dialed in with all my macros and water intake properly tracked, slight caloric deficit while still gaining muscle
- Currently on: 200 test/week, retatrutide 2mg/week, bpc157 534 mcg/day across 2 doses, tb500 534mcg/day across 2 doses, vitamin D, whey, creatine. (not trying to shill other compounds or violate rules, just giving my background on what I'm on)
- I do bloodwork every 4-8 weeks
