I just joined a couple weeks ago and I am trying to same some money instead of buying from a compounding pharmacy. Was purchasing from Slimdown RX before coming here. I was able to get the spreadsheet that dionysos had up before it was removed and went through that and read many posts on here.

I ended up making a purchase through angel/tuk/medsgogo for T60. I was planning on sending in a vial to be tested once I receive it to Janoshik but now I am considering Vanguard since its in the states and only 200 for the test.

I want to try the Retatrutide to stack with the Tirzepitide. Was thinking of ordering that through SPC once they restock. Would really like to get in on a group buy but not exactly sure how that works and all.

I did order all the stuff so I can reconstitute and filter when I am ready after testing. Peptidetest did mess my order up for the filters and bacteriostatic water somehow but I reached out and got a quick response that they will correct it ASAP.

Is there any other resources that anyone could recommend that would help me out. Im looking for more information on group buys and testing information so I can be more informed about my future purchases.

Thanks

Man I wish every new member was as informed as you when they started posting 😅

There are other places that would have a lot of the information that you are looking for but they don't allow posting links and are invite only. I did see someone post https://peptide.chat/ the other day, which I THINK is a decent resource (if this isn't allowed please let me know and I will remove it) and they have some information on group buys through a few vendors, one of which it seems you have already used.

To parrot what others have already said, I have not seen much positive information about stacking reta and tirz as they have a bunch of overlap already. Not that you need to stack but if you are dead set on doing that, you might want to look into cagri as it works on different receptors than reta or tirz.
 
I personally was getting into it with limited info because I was mainly look at places like peptide sourcing forum that is an offshoot of the subreddit that doesn't actually allow sourcing. This forum has a lot more knowledgeable individuals and is way more active imo, when I was just using the other forum a person was talking about their good experience with cantydes so I ordered from them based on that and ended spending way too much for a kit of tirz 20mg for 400 all together, QSC a popular vendor here has it 30mg kits for 230.

I would poke around and read up on stuff before pulling the trigger like myself too early so you have a better experience. Comically I found out about this forum from from googling Cantydes and seeing the admin here arguing with him lol.
 
Also, there's a thread about SPC controversy. Make up your own mind if you want to use them or not vs other vendors without controversy.
 
Thanks for all the good information. I was not aware that stacking a small amount of Reta with the Tirz was an issue. I will look into the cagri. I was just looking for something I could take mid week to help with the hunger noise.

You might also consider splitting your dose. For example, if you take 10 mg/week, try 5 mg q 3.5/days.

I used Cagri mid week with Reta while titrating up. At 6 mg Reta, I noticed I didn't need Cagri anymore. At 12 mg a few months later... Still zero hunger.

Hey hey--I haven't been able to locate this thread. Would you mind pointing me in that direction? Big thanks.

That dose must be pricey. The largest Reta vial I’ve seen is only 24 mg. Is that what you’re buying now? How is your weight loss going?

Did you start with Reta?

I also ordered filters and bac water from peptidetest for the first time, but haven’t received anything about confirmation. How long did they take to ship it to you?

On the Vanguard “Form”, what do you indicate you want them to “Test”? Impurities? Other?

I got my items within a week. Amazon takes just as long out where I live and I really don't care for Amazon- use them when I have to but would rather not.

Not to long, I think around 4 or 5 days after my order. I just got a notice that my order has shipped with the missing product from them as well.

I have not used them yet, but plan to once I receive my order from angel/medsgogo.
From what I have read they check for purity and quantity same as Jenoshik.

@nurseratchit posted some ASC group testing results that might interest you. I believe they even passed sterility which is not exactly common it appears for china goods. I tried the tirz with reta- did not work for me. I was hoping to break a stall and it seemed to make it worse. I got off the reta and upped the tirz as I had a lot more of it in the freezer than reta. Did pretty good for a couple of months but now the cold is causing major cravings. I just added cagri today after doing research again the past couple of days. I had bought a couple of vials a while back just from Skye and AR back when I was originally looking into it and I have a kit from Nexaph I'll break into next but at only 300mcg the 5mg vial will last a while.

I started with official Ozempic (Sema) until insurance didn't cover month 3, then I went official Mounjaro (Tirz) for one insurance covered month...then Tirz for 4 months from various places (worked super well), and finally switched to Reta (to pull out even more fat from my liver).

12 mg vials are the most convenient so far. One vial per dose, don't need to worry about more bacteria growth.

Bought some on good deals from the more-credible places.

Reta has been the best by far. It also doesn't make me force myself to eat, which Tirz and then Cagri both did. I don't get hungry, but I also don't despise and dread feeding myself.

I'm down from 295 to 179 since Jan 1st, 2024 (monthly blood tests + tracking macros with nutritionist - blood tests are perfect).

I keep thinking about switching to reta as many people seem to have your same opinion of it. The problem is I bought 600mg of tirz which went in the freezer first as I "was never going to use anything that hadn't gotten thru all its testing phases". Well now I have a few hundred mg of reta sitting in the freezer beside the tirz. I was ingrained with the first in the freezer, first out rule though and feel like I have to use the tirz up first. It's going to be a while if I continue that thinking and the reta will probably be done testing by then, lol.

Would love to know how the Cagri stack suits you. Did you start with 0.25mg?

I actually started with .125mg. I reconstituted 1ml of bac with 5mg of cagri so I could work with smaller amounts. I was afraid to go the full normal starting amount as I normally am sensitive to meds. I felt nothing so I took another .125mg this morning and now I found several reports where it doesn't kick in for a couple days, lol. I will say I have zero cravings now and unless the .125mg I took a few hours ago is hitting me, I'm thinking give it 3 days would have been wise. No side effects so far either. I'm going to wait 5 days from today and do the .125mg again to see if that will do it.
I'm also switching from AR tirz to the Skye vials I hadve I've been reading reports of AR tirz from the liquidation sale being underfilled so I am wondering if that contributed to the problem.

Thank you - helpful to hear! I like the idea of starting with .125... my vial that's on the way is 5mg also.
 
I’m a bit late to the party here.

* First off: good effin job educating yourself before posting, it really makes a difference- As you can see from the amount of knowledgeable people taking their time to reply

* No point stacking tbh, split dosing should be the first option. If that doesn’t give the desired result, switching from tirz to reta entirely is a good option. If that doesn’t work, then you could consider stacking - but as redskip pointed out, avoid using stuff that targets the same receptor. Though it probably works, it isn’t optimal

Lovely to have you here

Thats what I am going to try now. I am going to split my dose and take it twice a week. I hope that will help with the cravings.

I did get my order yesterday from Tuk/angel/medsgogo. Looks good, only 2 broken pucks. I will be sending one in for testing through Vangaurd Laboratory. Will post results here once I get them.
