I feel that in the last few months, I've noticed a significant drop in quality. The Reta 10mg I bought last month doesn't compare to the Reta 5mg I bought five months ago. I feel the quality has fallen drastically. Has anyone else had this experience?

No, I haven't been using it for five months. I bought it five months ago but didn't use it. I started using the new one I bought last month, but I didn't get any results; to test it out, I took the 5mg one I had bought previously and saw that the quality is completely different. I got great results with that one, and my hunger decreased.

Along with my new order, I bought tirzepatide and Cagrisema, and NONE of them worked. I started to think the problem was me. However, when I tested what I had bought five months ago, I realized the new peptides aren't good.

By quality are you referring to what the puck looks like? Stats and dosing would also be useful information.

The one I bought last month was 10mg, and I used 1.6mg per week, but I didn't see any results. So, I decided to use the 5mg version—using 1.6mg per week of the peptide I had actually bought five months earlier—and I saw much better results.

Unfortunately, you could have just purchased bunk product on your last go around.

But back to your original question- I think that as we move along, and testing becomes higher and higher demand/standard expectation, there is a higher visibility of lower quality batches/products.. I don't know if that is necessarily the market quality changing so much as increased transparency of the market being visible.

How many weeks of each? Since you took the same dose each time, it’s possible that the effect you’re noticing is the onset of steady state. It doesn't necessarily mean a difference in quality.

I highly doubt the stuff is no good. It's likely you for some reason if the other two didn't work either. How much of the 5mg did you buy, and how much BAC when you reconstitution the 5mg and 10mg? How long ago did you recon each?

...and when you say, 'test'...you mean your own use testing? If you have sent it out and had it tested by a lab for mass and purity, the results of the test will tell you what you have...Everything else is just subjective guess work.

We'd really need more information to get an idea of what you're dealing with.
I'm getting the impression that maybe you bought pre-loaded pens? If so there is a good chance you didn't get what you paid for.
If you bought a vial was it already reconstituted or did you do the mixing?
Was the product ever tested in a lab?

I didn't run any laboratory tests. It was just an observation; I spoke to the suppl... and he confirmed it—the peptides were indeed of quality ❌↘️, though he said the factory would improve the quality moving forward. I asked why he had sold them to me knowing the quality was poor, but I didn't get an answer. That’s why I asked if anyone else had experienced this. Yes, I mixed it myself. I used the peptide I bought last month for three weeks with no results, and the one I bought five months ago for one week.

Huh? Supplier admitting that without any proof from you?

I find “the factory would improve the quality” a bit of a red flag. I feel that is odd. The other odd thing, I don’t know many peptides that have even tested low quality from a purity standpoint. I mean, HGH sometimes tests like 90 percent. Sometimes you see a dramatic undergoing, like that recent 25 percent off of SS-31. And wasn’t there sold 10mg vials of Reta that were actually 5mg. Maybe you got a super under dosed vial or something.

Also, if you are injecting the same spot over and over again, I've heard it doesn't enter the system properly or something. So be sure you rotate injection spot at least three inches away every time. After four weeks, it resets.

I didn't notice Reta much in the first few weeks and I started with 3mg. After the month mark it was full effect but it takes time to build up. The appetite suppression isn't as strong as tirz so I had to be patient. Especially if I this is your first time using it then you might not notice anything at all especially with a dose that tiny until it is fully in your system.

Yes, he admitted that they weren't as good as they should have been. I was really annoyed, wondering why he sold them to me even though he knew the products weren't up to par. In any case, I won't be buying from him again.

I do not know whether the peptides you bought were from a reputable known seller, if they were then they are most likely fine. If you bought it from a seller not on here with no known reputation then getting dodgy peptides is a bit more likely and it might be worth finding a reliable vendor.

There are explanations for your experience that the first doses seemed to work better than the later doses. When you first start you will have most likely certain expectations about what it will do, and given the start dose is small, it is completely possible it had no effect at all or minimal effects at doses of 1.6mg, and your initial response was all placebo effect, which petered out after a while. So unless you go up in doses there is not going to be any way of telling if the reta you have is ok or not unless you ship a vial of it off and pay to get it tested. My guess is if you increase the dose it will work fine. ( there is nothing wrong with getting placebo effects, everyone gets them all the time whether they know about it or not )
