Welcome! You'll find this to be a great spot for those who are curious.

I've been searching for research on combining several GLP's, but I can't find any studies that are either active or planned. Has anyone come across links to such studies? The only combination trials I've managed to locate involve adding an amylin analogue to a GLP-1, or pairing separate GLP-1...

I get that these are distinct compounds, but they're related and they act biochemically on the same receptors. Elsewhere in medicine, we wouldn't pair two drugs hitting the same receptors, since the likely outcome is competition for binding sites rather than a boost in effect. Take...

I haven't actually gone through the study myself, though I can see it's an observational, retrospective design. Finding correlation is the most such a study can accomplish — it has no way of establishing causation. Odds are good that peer review will tear it apart. Still, this is precisely the...

Be very sparing with hydrocortisone cream — apply just a thin layer 1-2 times per day, and don't keep it up for longer than a week at a stretch. For me, that would be a last resort. The skin thinning another poster brought up is not something you want to deal with. A good moisture barrier may...

Honestly, I probably need to dig into the research more. Looking at it strictly from a biochemical angle, I can't quite see what taking two compounds aimed at the same receptors actually gets you. Perhaps each one only partially activates the receptor, so together they work in a complementary...

Sounds to me like the filter got clogged. You could push whatever is left through a fresh filter if you're set on salvaging it, but I wouldn't put any faith in the old one. That kind of back pressure is enough to have likely compromised the membrane. That said, yes — I'd figure what you're...

Fantastic news! Well done on achieving what you set out to do.

Welcome! Have you brought up the idea of a short-acting product with the Provider who prescribes your TRT? Certain men can conceive without HCG by moving to a short-acting androgen and timing things carefully. To confirm it works, you'd need lab work after the switch, but it could be worth...

Glad to have you here! This is an excellent community for the kind of research you have in mind. After several months on tirz, I was able to put my CPAP away in its case for good. I'm not sure whether tirz or reta appear on your research list, whether the surgery fully resolved your issue, or...

Hi! It seems you've already put in a fair amount of research toward building your stack. I believe you'll appreciate the support and the information available here.

Happy to lend a hand whenever I can. After 23 years (and still going 😀) working down in a hospital basement, that experience ought to count for something, right?

Welcome aboard! It sounds like you've landed something rare. Dropping fat while building muscle simultaneously is the kind of result most folks can only wish for.

Welcome! It's great that you've come across a community packed with so much useful information. When it comes to reta in people who've had gastric bypass, I can't offer any personal experience. However, I did have one GB patient on Sema who, after titrating up to 1.7 mg, dealt with severe...

Hello everyone! Glad to be here — I'm confident this is the right community to turn to when I need answers.

Welcome! It sounds like you’re off to a solid start. On the glass versus plastic question for BAC vials, the vial material itself isn’t a reliable guide. If and when you move into buying grey market peptides, look for a trustworthy source of Hospira brand BAC. The vials we use at the hospital...

Wishing you the best as you begin your journey with Reta.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy learning here.

Welcome, Dante! I'd also like to hear how the Wolverine stack has worked for you. I've got some old sports injuries, in both my upper and lower body, and because of them I can't work out more than 2-3 times per week, so I've been looking into adding a pep to my routine for that reason.

Hey, welcome aboard! Have you thought about getting a DEXA scan? Given the hormone adjustments you've made lately and the body composition changes you're noticing, getting real numbers on your muscle, bone, and fat percentages plus your basal metabolic rate could be worthwhile. A mobile lab...
