How much is enough

I’ve actually given this a lot of thought.

I bought 2 kits of Reta 30 to last about 3 years.

My calculus:

-I’m burning one vial per kit for testing. That leaves 18 vials.

-I’ll need 7 vials for year 1. I’m dosing 4mg/week, and averaging ~1lb/week. Assuming that pace continues, I’d hit goal weight in 30 weeks. But based on the actual curve I experienced on tirz, I’m assuming it will take 52 weeks to hit 30 lbs. (52 x 4 / 30 ~ 7 vials)

- The remaining 11 vials should last me another 2 years after that. Those will be for maintenance. Not 100% sure what that will actually be, but my guess is between 2.5 to 3 mg/week (based on what I noticed during titration up to current dose). I’m assuming 3mg/week. (52 x 3 /30 ~ 5 vials)

While there’s definitely a confrontation with China coming, I don’t see it happening before early 2029, so I don’t see a need to stock up past 3 years just yet. If we see the timetable getting pushed forward, I’ll act accordingly. But I’m hoping India might be more reliable by then, or that an existing Chinese manufacturer might open up shop in Africa.

I’m also holding open the possibility that something better than Reta might come out in the next 3 years.

In the meantime, if I feel desperate to buy more peptides, there’s a ton out there to try.
 
I love that I can work out which colour is you purely because of my love of a specific peptide 🤣
i’ve now snuck in a 50mg kit to my mil’s latest order and also just convinced husband in adding to his pepertoire.

And even made my mother and sister grip it and rip it for the first time last night. whole household on it now thanks to you.

I find that I am facing the same debacle as well, if you start your experiment at 2.5mg and titrate to 15mg by month 5, for a whole year you would need 570mg.

For my experiment, I meed enough to get to goal weight, which is about 50 pounds. Assuming 1 year and then dosing back to zero, I would need at least twice that amount. However, the impulse buyer in me wants to stock up for emergencies 🤣

And the entire family will sleep like angels peacefully and deeply. You're all welcome 🤣

Keep in mind you don’t have to automatically titrate up. I have been on 7.5 for about two months now and still working great. That is the beauty of grey, the ability to control your own “research”.

Few people need to titrate up to 15 and few titrate up that fast. Both standards are driven by EL profit, neither are required with grey.

And you’ll need it, or some GLP1, even after reaching goal.

Truth. I dropped 50 since June of this year and am at GW and never went above 7.5 Tirz. However, I did stack 1.2 - 1.8 survo for the past 6 weeks or so and am now backing down the T to 5mg and S to 1.2. Maintenance seems very doable at 5T and .9S.
I have enough for 7 years. 🙂

I just moved up to 5mg today on tirz. A friend of mine said that her dr told her that the first month or so are just to get your body used to the medication and I need to get up to a theraputic dose. I think she said that her dr. told her that. What are your thoughts on this?
 
That is what is advised when under a Dr’s care. I am going by what my body tells me. As long as I see results on a lower dosage I plan on sticking with it. YMMV

It depends on how you're doing and how long you've been at that dose. Some folks respond to 2.5. I have a friend who takes just 1.25 and is responding. So, don't go up just cuz her dr said that...

I had been on 2.5 for a month and the last 2 weeks I have not lost anything BUT it's probably because I have to keep a closer eye on my food intake and eat more protein. I also didn't feel real hungery on 2.5 unless I wasn't eating enough protein. At least that is why I think I was having the food noise.

At least doing the 5 mg today finished off my first vial it has been 6 weeks since it was reconstituted.

This is a good reason to up it to 5🙂
 
Im sitting here with my first bottle of reta, and as I read, I think to myself that I will never order as much as you guys do.



Oh no wait a minute, i just ordered a higher dose of reta and five different peptides again two weeks ago. And some new syringes, new filtering stuff and empty bottles.
Whats next?

Im losing control, help me pls

Damn, this new hobby is addictive.
