The urge to stock up peps in the freezer is coming back

[lessthanhalf]

I guess that at some point in the not too distant future China will crack down on it internally. Won't happen for a few years, but once they have several home grown peptides on the market locally, I imagine these new potentially highly profitable companies will not be happy with the competition that did not have to pay for the research. And I would guess that China will want to market them worldwide, especially to the less rich countries. The possible amounts of money involved are insane, maybe even a trillion dollars, even if they end up selling them for a quarter or a tenth the price of current glp's. Probably not for 3 to 5 years is my guess, but it makes stockpiling hard to work out, probably need 8 to ten years worth to be safeish, until there is a lot of competition and generics. There are about 200 obesity related medications currently in drug development, so there will be better and cheaper ones eventually.

This is the one that worries me. However if things it rough generic sema is real close and will probably be a very easy option to cross borders if it gets really bad. I still keep wanting to add. I'm fighting myself between more reta or Tirz.

I was looking at drug trials/ whats coming in the next few years and so far nothing really interesting besides Reta and Bimagrumab. Bimagrumab is a human antibody that is being trailed with Tirz. Making it unlikely to be available grey. But anything could happen as Reta as been available to us for almost a year already. Anything else does not look as good but could help some of us. As Sema worked wonders for me without the bad side effects others mention.

The one I'm really looking forward to is eloralintide to stack with reta for maintenance. Potentially the ultimate appetite suppression and weight loss combo. I'm doing tirz/reta in lower doses for maintenance now, but I would like to experiment with eloralintide.

The other one I'm looking forward to is orforglipron for the wife. She won't do shots and doesn't have a lot to lose. It would be perfect for her.

The one thing slowing me down is nobody seems to take easy payment solutions like Paypal anymore. Now it's all crypto. So now I have to learn how to use it

I would have far more in my freezer if my 60 year old brain really wanted to figure out crypto

I'm 56 and spent an hour+ lastnight trying to figure out how to use crypto 😭. Then I looked at an old spreadsheet and realized I still have 4+ years of Sema, and a year + each of Tirz and Reta at maximum doses. So maybe I need to slow down 🐢

I wonder how long before it will be available?( eloralintide)

People really should stop stockpiling, prices are falling all the time.

I just made a buy for 400$ worth of product this week

I was looking thru my spreadsheet of what I bought last year and prices for weight loss peptides are currently about half what I paid before June 2025. But it did make me feel secure knowing I had a multiyear supply of something that changed my life for the better.

 

[Nmcoyote1]

Yeah I have so much Reta that I bought at 1.50 or so a mg I’d really rather not have spent that money

I looked at my spreadsheet last night and realized I paid between $1 and $2 for Reta that is now $0.46 a mg from a trusted source. My last peptide buy for 500mg Reta was $1mg in June 2025. At that point I mostly started ignoring places like this because of my urge to stockpile.

Well there ya go!

I just realized I can do bank transfers instead of crypto. I better close my phone before I buy a couple more years of peps

 

[dustinst22]

Interesting. I have a year supply. I guess I figure much better peptides are coming, and the ones we're currently using will seem like dinosaurs and outdated in a couple years. There are already many new drugs coming down the pipe that are better.

I think that the big companies are not looking for better as much as a different niche to occupy. Someone who has a billion dollars to spend on development is keeping a sharp eye to market share. So these old drugs will still work, and new drugs will not tend to directly obsolete anything unless we get a new breakthrough class of drugs altogether. And people will still stack trying to find a mix that hits their needs.
