I've had no complaints and literally melted away from tirz over 6 months, but I have to admit I've been doing a ton of research into reta for the past few weeks for these last 20-30ish pounds and im thinking about pulling the trigger soon.
main issue im running into is it seems like reta doesnt have the same anti-inflammatory effects as tirz (completely cured my sleep apena in 3 weeks of 2.5mg) which I want to keep on for life honestly, but stacking the two seems counter-productive even though it seems to be a popular choice

I wonder what effect pH has after the medication is injected. The pH of blood is around 7.4. If cagri forms oligomers and fibrils at this pH are they just counting on it not staying in the bloodstream long enough to form many? Is there a safe level of these?
Sure, when you're healthy the blood brain barrier should keep amyloid out, but various things can cause it to get leaky. The neurodegenerative diseases associated with misfolded proteins are horrifying enough I'd rather not risk something slipping through. The effects of amyloid deposition in the rest of the body (either in more...

I feel the same way. Completely unimpressed, but willing to give it another try in the futureGtownBrown said:

I can't speak on the rest, but I absolutely hated teso. If I wasn't worried about sending drugs in the mail, I'd just send you a bottle to try.

I've been using Tesofensine since July with 10mg/week of tirz. Tirz was great for losing my first 50 lbs., but then my weight loss pace slowed down by half. For 7 months, I was only losing 0-5 lbs even though I still had 90 lbs to lose. Even on tirz, my metabolism is still a good bit slower than average for my height and weight.
Tesofensine supposedly speeds up your metabolism. Sure seems like it! I lost 6 lbs the first month. Added 2mg/week of reta the second month, but that was the only vial I had to experiment with. I lost 8 lbs that month. I went back to just tirz/tesofensine after that and have been losing 5 lbs/month since.
Tesofensine also adds some extra appetite suppression, but I kept my calories the same. If anything, I've had a little more flexibility in being able to have more calories or carbs sometimes without it hurting my weight loss pace.
It's technically not a peptide and it's in pill form, so I'm not sure if the Chinese peptide companies carry it. I've gotten it from various US labs. I tried it from Solution Peptides first, but then I found it a lot cheaper at Biostrategix. It's normal price at SP is $119 for 30 500mcg pills. The normal price at Biostrategix is $185 for 120 500mcg pills and they have a perpetual 10% discount code that is Rollins10 (not associated with me). I take one 500mcg pill a day, usually in the morning. Some people take 1,000mcg/day.
Now I am here on this forum looking for quality, cheaper options for both tirz and reta. I'm almost to my goal weight (yay!), but I will always need to take a GLP-1. I planning to wean myself off tirz and onto reta. My dream is to open up my diet more once I'm in maintenance and teso/reta will allow me even more calories by speeding up my metabolism. Y'all, I'm only 5'0". I wouldn't be surprised if maintenance for me is only 1100 calories/day. I need all the help I can get, lol!

I tried AOD from a US lab last year. I think it was $28/vial for the month and I bought 5 vials. I took 300mcg/daily, I was taking 7.5mg tirz/week also.
The AOD oomphed my weight loss for two months. At that point in time, I was still over 100 lbs overweight and losing 1.5-2 lbs/week on tirz. The AOD added another 0.3-0.5 lb/week.
Then in the third month, there was no more oomph. It was actually my first stall, all around. I took a break from it for about 45 days. It's recommended to take at least a 30-day break from it every 6 months anyway. It didn't add anymore oomph when I went back to it.
Overall, I was glad I tried it. But it definitely wasn't worth the money I paid for the tiny amount of extra weight I lost.
With that said, it works amazingly well for some people. The person who recommended it to me was almost a non-responder with tirz. But she was losing 2-4 lbs/week with AOD. I've read other posts like that also. Along with people who said it did nothing.
I'm planning to place an order for NAD 500 later this week. I bought Lipo-C and NA Semax Amidate (not weight loss related) earlier today. I haven't tried them before and am curious.

Teso was 0.25 mg per day - I didn't experience any hunger suppression. I actually felt way hungrier than normal for some reason and I was getting angry easily. I only lasted two weeks on it before I gave up.yelloeyes said:

I gave up on teso after less than a week because I couldn't tolerate the sleep disruption. Was at 250 mcg in the morning and my sleep was very heavily impacted.

If you get over it. I love teso. But it does screw with my sleep over time so I only take it a couple days every month instead of my Adderall.DwightTheDelight said:

Teso made me irritable and wrecked my sleep. I had high hopes, but it wasn't the right choice for me. Some people report great success, though, and I'm happy for them.
DwightTheDelight said:
That seems to be the common starting out Reta experience - more hunger and people eating more, but they report still losing once you get up to the higher doses (6mg+) - lot of people saying youll gain a little back during the transition but itll work itself out on the other side after a couple months on reta. It looks like the reta suppression doesnt really kick in until those higher doses, so thats why so many end up stacking some tirz.

I should have been more clear, because I was talking about multiple substances in my original comment, but I think I was asked about teso and was answering about that. I'll edit it to make it more clear
I worked up to 4mg of Reta back in June before I stopped, so that could probably use a proper attempt as well.

There is nothing to it if you use an injection pen. I used to think daily sounded bananas, and now i have a morning and evening shot plus two staggered weeklies, it’s all just part of the routine and not a big dealGlp1judd said:

You can join the rep ladies subreddit and shop for designer handbags that are supposedly as close in quality to authentic as our grey GLP1s to Mounjaro, etc. And apparently their vendors are similarly capricious and elusive communicators! But they call themselves “cunts” on that sub and downvote basically all questions, so not as welcoming as herebrentm said:
