Tirz vs Reta

[Not_Your_Dad]

Significantly cheaper seems like a stretch. 1200mg of Tirz is around $.20/mg, Reta is ~$.48/mg.

At highest published trial doses, that's a $2.76/week difference in cost, assuming you're buying in bulk to get the lowest pricing. $2.76/week is worth it to me for preserving an estimated 6-10lb of lean mass along the 80lb drop through GCGR protecting lean mass and providing more stabile energy for resistance training.

If I hit the same target weight either way, with Tirz I'd still have 6-10lb more fat than the same weight with Reta, not to mention the time it'd take to build the lean fiber back.

Energy levels for training compliance anecdotal evidence:

My first day taking Reta (No meaningful reta exposure) my walking heart rate exercising averaged 114bpm, with the average the day before and after being 115bmp.

18 days later, the same exercise now with more incline and less perceived effort has my average heart rate the past 3 days at ~130bmp with reta levels at 6-9.2mg (Tirz tapering 2.5mg to ~1.7mg).

I had no problems with Tirz, so far I have no regrets switching to reta.

That's fair re: pricing. I suppose the difference isn't enormous but I think I have overstated the spread.

I haven't tried Reta, but I've used mounjaro and it's incredible. Semaglutide did nothing for me but Mounjaro was amazing. Life changing, no sides, felt normal, felt like I finally had control.

Reta is meant to be even better... So wy not start on Mounjaro and have the ability to step up? I think you can squeeze probably 18 months out of Mounjaro if you keep dosing increases low before shifting to Reta

I started with Tirzepatide because I did not know about Retatrutide at the time and I stocked up on a END of the WORLD amount in my freezer .lol…

My personal two cents If I would start this I would start with Tirzepatide. Just because inside in my mine Tirzepatide is FDA-approved and I think, long-term safety so less anxiety in my mind if I even get heart burn etc…

Seriously a great point. I totally agree for the peace of mind aspecr
