Very good point. Most people taking sema started it a while ago and probably already have a bunch of it sitting in their freezers. I'm fairly new to the grey market and I still have a least a years worth even if I up my dosage. New people will probably want to start out with the latest and greatest because they want to lose weight fast. I understand that desire .. but losing too fast can cause a whole new set of issues.
Millions of people are still effectively using Semaglutide/Ozempic. It works and it’s super cheap on the gray market. People on in the UGL realm, myself included, like trying different things. Please don’t think that because people are using Tirzepatide and a Retatrutide that Semaglutide isn’t a good option. It has made billions of dollars for NN because it’s the OG and it works just fine. Buy it and stay on it as long as you can before switching or adding anything else.
I was first put on Pasireotide after getting a brain tumor removed in 2022. My endocrinologist has been using Sema off label for some patients for various reasons, in my case it’s to increase levels of Akkermansia muciniphila in my gut after having been on countless pharmaceuticals for the past few years. I decided to switch from a clinic to grey market recently due to the ridiculously high costs. Long-term I plan to microdose Sema and Reta in addition to all the other peptides I’m on (GLOW, NAD+, etc). There are so many benefits outside of weight loss, that’s what drew me to Sema and that’s why I’ll probably keep it in my arsenal.
She is very apprehensive about transitioning to gray. But her hands are kinda tied as her pharm is closing. She questions the legality of things mainly, and I've been explaining that as they are not controlled substances there is no legal concern for possessing them, rather that its questionable how it makes it through customs. She finally decided she is okay with trying it and I'm sourcing a kit for her. She was spending $300/m and is skeptical since $300 could get her 5 years worth at her current dose. She likely won't use any other peps, but I'll be there to walk her through it if that changes
That is essentially what I'm doing now. I take 1mg of sema and 3 days later take 1mg of reta. Last week I lost 4 pounds and if I lose that much next week I will probably reduce the reta to .5mg. I want to try and keep my weekly loss to about 2 pounds.
So you don't end up disappointed later on, reta doesn't do a whole lot of suppression for quite a bit of people. It mainly controls how much you can eat, but you will most likely be hungry frequently
That sounds kinda amazing as long as the pounds stay away.
In my case, it still takes a bit of self control/self regulation. I'm also on a very low dose so that could just be my experience
