Which peptide gave you real, noticeable results?

I’ve gone from having a fridge full of peptides and pinning 6–7 times a day to just three times a day now.

Right now my routine is basically:
Day 1: Reta, SS31 or SLUPP, plus TB500
Day 2: MOTS‑C and TB500
Day 3: Repeat Day 1

I’m almost out of TB500 and haven’t reordered because I’m planning to switch over to BPC157 daily instead. Honestly, running them together never made a huge difference for me in terms of recovery. I mainly used BPC for injuries.

I also rotate SS31 and SLUPP332 in 6 week blocks on my Reta days.

As for why I run Reta every other day. I used to take CAG for sugar cravings between my twice weekly Reta doses. I ended up experimenting with smaller, every other day Reta doses instead, and it worked just as well for me. The only downside is now I’ve got a freezer full of unused CAG, plus Tesa, IPA, and NAD+ which I don't plan on using again.

Since last December I’ve dropped about 48 lbs (22 kg). I thought about adding BAM15, but that would mean rotating it with SS31 and SLUPP, and honestly, with the weight still coming off steadily, I don’t see a reason to add anything else right now.

MOSTC is exercise in a bottle?

or do you mind explaning it.

I think that the three GLP1s have a proven track record. We know they work. So I'll skip them.

KLOW for healing, I am absolutely in less pain since I started using it. I can't say which element of this compound did the trick, but I don't care. It was worth the money and I have plenty of it remaining. My back pain is completely gone and the pain in my knees is greatly reduced. While I'm sure that losing weight has helped .. I don't think that I've lost enough for it to be this successful this quickly.

NAD+ for sleep. I have a long history of insomnia and taking this has given me better sleep. I started taking as a part of the NAD+, SS-31 and MOTS-C protocol. I have no idea if it is helping my mitochondria or not. I can't say if this is going to help everyone with insomnia or if it will improve the sleep quality of people who don't have insomnia .. all I can say for certain is that it has helped me.

is there anything else nad+ is good at.

Can I ask why you decided to not use NAD+ , Tesa and IPA? Were they not effective for you?

I heard you can take 50mg BM15 capsules due to its bioavailability.
 
I ran a couple of weeks without NAD+ and my energy levels were still high. Most likely because I run 2 mitochondria peptides at the same time. Tesa I felt was injecting but will still get the same results just running Reta and eating clean....ish. IPA I stopped mainly because if I'm going to build muscle with the help of adding a little extra, I may as well use Tesa or go on another synthetic.

The last thread on peptides that didn't work had some interesting patterns.


I think it would be interesting to hear the opposite:
What peptide actually worked for you?
What did you notice and how long did it take?

For me, I noticed results from reta within the first week and I have been steadily losing weight

Tirz, Mot c, Tesa/Ipa for weight loss noticable within the first two weeks.
 
It has to be GH for me. There really is nothing like it, when it comes to just improving overall sense of well-being as well as making me both look and feel great at my age. Very few compounds can single handedly achieve so many things at once. It just made everything else work better as well. And where did my waist go?

What reason for NR versus NMN? My RS will soon start this protocol and will be using NR or NMN instead of NAD+. What was the results for you?

I've been taking TruNiagen NR for almost 10 years, so I just continued it for the 14-week protocol. I've read that NR, NMN and NAM, as precursors of NAD+, reliably raise NAD-related biomarkers in human testing. Many people have reported good results from NAD+, but I just didn't see a reason to change from what I was already taking. Independent studies have shown that TruNiagen is one of the top two commercially available sources of NR.

The issue I found with NMN is, according to a study done about 5 years ago, commercially available products vary widely as to the amount of NMN in the product. 64% of those tested, had zero or very low levels and didn't match the label claims. Doublewood did well, but it was one of the few.

Reta, bpc 157, kpv, and although not a peptide, and contrary to popular belief, 5 amino 1 mq.

How i did 5A1MQ was 5mg daily sub q. This gave me noticeable results in my physique. This was done every day after waking up fasted and then would not eat for another 4-5hrs after injection. I only eat during a 6 hrs window and then fast for 18hrs before eating again. Not saying this is for everyone its just what works for me.

Thanks for this - I have been wanting to add 5a1

Reta, Pinealon, epitalon, semax. Selank. Cortexin. Oxytocin
 
Reta - My journey started with Reta and as most people know it definitely works to set you on a path for change.

(Preworkout / AM)
5Amino
Mots-C
NAD
These are a game changer for me for a preworkout or AM stack. The “clean energy spike” I get from this stack is amazing. Typically workout early AM, but on days where a workout might come in the afternoon, I will do a 2nd dose of 5Amino as a preworkout kick, definitely works with an energy boost.

Tesa - Added this after dropping 35-40 lbs on Reta. Leveled off my weight loss and focused on enhanced body recomp. Amazing sleep with Tesa as well as continued and compounding results in recomping my body. Vascularity is off the charts for my with this and midsection on point.

CJC/IPa - I initially tried this prior to Tesa, initially liked it great sleep and felt good working out. About 5-6 weeks in, it really impacted my joints and for the first time since being on any of these protocols felt like I was going back to pre-peptide state feeing wise. So I subsided and replaced this with Tesa and never looked back.

Misc Tried
AOD - Used for a cycle although it seemed like I was getting benefits, I was including it as part of my AM stack so I couldn’t fully determine if there was specific benefits from it. Since put it on hold.

PT141 - Took a few times to figure out right dose. Once I did, I can confirm it does work. BUT, even that benefit and stuff I get like a groggy feeling the next day or so. Kinda of like a lingering cold that only last for the day post dosing. So for me the benefits don’t really push me to use it because of how I feel afterwards.

That’s a start, tried a few others but the above has been in my protocols for 1-1.5 yrs
 
Still pretty new to peptides overall, but reta has definitely given me the most noticeable results so far. I’m only on week 4 and already loving it — appetite control, less food noise, and overall feeling more in control has been a huge difference.

BPC-157 worked really well for me in the past too, especially for recovery and nagging aches. I’ve also been tinkering with DSIP at smaller doses, and that’s been interesting to experiment with for sleep and recovery.

Right now I’m trying to keep my stack pretty minimal so I can actually tell what effects are coming from each compound instead of throwing too many things in at once.

What's your Tesa protocol? I'm trying to decide between that and CJC/IPA and a there's a lot of talk about 2mg/day and at that rate a kit is only 50 doses. I'd be curious to hear your opinion since you've tried both.

May I ask the dose and type of GH, or is it just HGH?

Tirz worked really well for me, lowered my blood pressure and inflammation from arthritis as well as my weight, and kept me uninterested in sweets and alcohol which also helps with weight loss. THEN, I decided to switch to Reta for the fat loss as my fat levels are still high. Absolutely loving the clearing of brain fog and the increased energy, as I have Chronic Fatique Syndrome, but food noise and cravings are back and im constipated despite lots of fibre, AND Ive put on 4lbs! I WISH I could take the good from each one . .. how do you choose which is best?!

I feel like Semax and Selank didn’t do anything at all to me.

But on the topic, personally Reta has made going on a cut so much easier. Maybe even a little too easy to the point I looked a little skinny. Melanotan 2 has me looking like I do nothing but yard work and pt-141 def does its thing too.

BPC and TB taken separately are seemingly slowly patching up my bum shoulder so I’m excited to stay on the regimen.

Hey man. I heard SLU can't be injected because when it's reconstituted.... I don't remember the chemistry behind it BUT the potency of SLU becomes dramatically less.

The pills are the way to go.

But why don't you use NAD+ anymore?

BAM15 is also recommended in pill form alongside SLU.

You stack both? I'm in Camp Tirz4Life at this point, as it works for food noise and I have zero sides, but I've noticed recently that when I do eat, I don't get full as much. I've had a kit of reta I picked up during the holidays and am slowly adding that into my rotation. I just started this week with .5 as I want to get some of the benefits going but mitigate the sides I got the last time I gave it a try earlier this year when I titrated up quickly. I'm hoping to get to a good balance of tirz ans reta in the next couple of months.
 
I track all my doses, stacks, and get frequent bloodwork for things I can measure

I'm only going to list things i've verified that worked for me according to measurements/bloodwork

- Reta - obvious
- CJC+GHRP2 - increased my IGF1 levels by about 60% in bloodwork
- CJC-DAC - Increased my IGF1 levels by about 3x in bloodwork
- Enclomiphene - Doubled my testosterone over the course of a month
- HCG - +80% testosterone in about a week (effects with enclomiphene were not additive, capped at about +100% total boost)
- DSIP - Increased ~10% ratio of deep sleep according to my fitness tracker (although rather than reducing the level of wakefulness or light sleep, it reduced the level of REM sleep)

I purchased Enclomiphene and got Clomid in stead, Im not sure if I want to take anotor $300 hit.

Yeah, I've always heard that NR has the best actual science behind it and seems like a strong fit mechanistically. TruNiagen is the biggest brand of course.
