New to Peptides, Saying Hi from Australia

Don't forget to add electrolytes! That's what made a difference for my tingling.

What worked best for me was electrolytes — they made a real difference.

Greetings from Australia, where it's currently autumn! I'm fairly new to this. I've been on retatrutide for 8 weeks now, and I inject twice per week.

Week 1: 0.5mg (every week I split it into 2 doses)

Weeks 2 through 6: 1mg

Weeks 7 and 8: 2mg

So far I've dropped roughly 5-6kg. My starting weight was 69kg, I'm 5"6, and female.

The side effects have been quite intriguing. I've got the sore skin that seems to come up for everyone, along with a bit of nausea and headaches from the ret when I don't get enough water (sadly I'm someone who can't stand drinking it plain or at room temperature - yes, I know). Compared to other posts I've come across here, it looks like my titration is on the gentler side. Would that make me a hyper responder?

This has really sparked my interest in learning the finer points of navigating the peptide world. I'd love to hear other people's stories and maybe get some advice on stacking.

Great to spot a fellow Aussie on here — welcome aboard.

Me: 35 years old, male, tipping the scales at 100 kg right now.

My retatrutide journey kicked off at 0.5 mg too, though I went off-script rather than sticking rigidly to the usual protocol. My approach was to tune in to what my body was telling me and bump things up only once it seemed right. Four weeks passed at 0.5 mg, after which I moved up in 0.5 mg steps.

Honestly, not a lot happened for me until I crossed the 4 mg mark.

On the stacking front, what other things are you thinking about adding in?

Still, this GLP community is top-notch, and you've landed in exactly the right place to start exploring peptides.

Best of luck with everything!

Greetings from Melbourne!

For me, 2mg brings on some fairly intense side effects — I honestly can't picture ramping all the way to 12mg the way the clinical trials do.

I'm keen to try GHK-CU, though I've read that its side effects can be rough as well. Are you running anything besides that?

Honestly, I'm completely baffled by how anyone reaches those kinds of doses! My guess is it must be folks who begin at a very high weight with multiple medical issues going on.

When it comes to shedding pounds and curbing hunger, my stack is just Reta plus Cagrilitide (4mg Reta, 1mg Cagrilitide).

Beyond those, here's my everyday lineup.

BPC157/TB500 - 750mcg taken 2x per day (totaling 1.5mg daily)

KLOW - made up of

GHKCU - 3.3mg

BPC157 - 670mcg

TB500 - 670mcg

KPV - 670mcg

and on top of that I also use

MOTSC - 2mg

Selank - 1mg

Semax - 350mcg

Regarding what you asked about electrolytes - my take is the simplest (and most budget-friendly) route is picking up a high-quality Celtic salt, taking a pinch in a glass of water each morning, and you can repeat it during the day based on how much energy you're burning.

Lately I've switched to taking it under the tongue - I place the same morning amount directly beneath my tongue, let the mucosal membrane absorb it for about a minute or 2, then swallow what's left with a large glass of water!

I hope this wall of text manages to help you at least a little

That's quite a lineup! Here in California I'm running almost the exact same protocol. Fingers crossed I'll be able to keep it going once I'm back in Australia.

I realize this is a bit of a detour from the main subject, but my plan is to return to Australia within the next couple of months, and I was curious whether any groups or communities exist that serve Australians interested in peptides? Thanks in advance

Same here, I'd love to get a proper handle on it. So far my only sources have been this place and a couple of mates who pin.

Any suggestions when it comes to electrolytes?

For me, the nuun electrolyte tablets have been really effective, and LMNT is a good choice if you're sweating heavily

Thanks for the great tips, and that's quite a cocktail lineup you've got! What shifts have stood out most for you so far while running this combo?

KLOW is next up on my testing list

Sorry, I missed those messages

As for the BPC/TB, I can't say I've noticed anything from it yet — that's typical though, usually it kicks in somewhere around the 6-8 week point.

MOTSC targets your mitochondria, so I'm not sure whether you're supposed to actually feel anything from it?

The GHKCU inside the KLOW has been fantastic — honestly I believe it's making a real difference for my skin and hair. Selank does great things for anxiety, and I've only recently started the Semax, so it's still too soon to say!

My partner is on GHKCU too and she's a big fan.

How much water someone holds really varies. In my case, genetics mean I retain a lot more than most people — sometimes 5-7kg. For most people, though, 2-3kgs is a fair estimate.

DrPEPr said:

For that stretch of time, 5-6kgs sounds roughly in line. Usually the initial 2-3kgs is water/glucagon that tends to come off in the first 2 weeks, meaning the other 3kg works out to roughly 0.5kg weekly — a great pace for weight loss.

Like the other commenter said: keep your fluids up!

Plain water isn't the only option; you can mix in zero cal. syrup/lemonade or even have diet soda.

Best of luck on your journey!

KLOW is next up on my testing list

Sorry, I missed those messages

As for the BPC/TB, I can't say I've noticed anything from it yet — that's typical though, usually it kicks in somewhere around the 6-8 week point.

MOTSC targets your mitochondria, so I'm not sure whether you're supposed to actually feel anything from it?

The GHKCU inside the KLOW has been fantastic — honestly I believe it's making a real difference for my skin and hair. Selank does great things for anxiety, and I've only recently started the Semax, so it's still too soon to say!

My partner is on GHKCU too and she's a big fan.

Greetings from Australia, where it's currently autumn! I'm fairly new to this. I've been on retatrutide for 8 weeks now, and I inject twice per week.

Week 1: 0.5mg (every week I split it into 2 doses)

Weeks 2 through 6: 1mg

Weeks 7 and 8: 2mg

So far I've dropped roughly 5-6kg. My starting weight was 69kg, I'm 5"6, and female.

The side effects have been quite intriguing. I've got the sore skin that seems to come up for everyone, along with a bit of nausea and headaches from the ret when I don't get enough water (sadly I'm someone who can't stand drinking it plain or at room temperature - yes, I know). Compared to other posts I've come across here, it looks like my titration is on the gentler side. Would that make me a hyper responder?

This has really sparked my interest in learning the finer points of navigating the peptide world. I'd love to hear other people's stories and maybe get some advice on stacking.

Great to spot a fellow Aussie on here — welcome aboard.

Me: 35 years old, male, tipping the scales at 100 kg right now.

My retatrutide journey kicked off at 0.5 mg too, though I went off-script rather than sticking rigidly to the usual protocol. My approach was to tune in to what my body was telling me and bump things up only once it seemed right. Four weeks passed at 0.5 mg, after which I moved up in 0.5 mg steps.

Honestly, not a lot happened for me until I crossed the 4 mg mark.

On the stacking front, what other things are you thinking about adding in?

Still, this GLP community is top-notch, and you've landed in exactly the right place to start exploring peptides.

Best of luck with everything!

I realize this is a bit of a detour from the main subject, but my plan is to return to Australia within the next couple of months, and I was curious whether any groups or communities exist that serve Australians interested in peptides? Thanks in advance

What exactly are you getting at?

Are you talking about a vendor getting them past customs? lol

It just depends on which part of Australia you're returning to haha

Greetings from Melbourne!

For me, 2mg brings on some fairly intense side effects — I honestly can't picture ramping all the way to 12mg the way the clinical trials do.

I'm keen to try GHK-CU, though I've read that its side effects can be rough as well. Are you running anything besides that?

Honestly, I'm completely baffled by how anyone reaches those kinds of doses! My guess is it must be folks who begin at a very high weight with multiple medical issues going on.

When it comes to shedding pounds and curbing hunger, my stack is just Reta plus Cagrilitide (4mg Reta, 1mg Cagrilitide).

Beyond those, here's my everyday lineup.

BPC157/TB500 - 750mcg taken 2x per day (totaling 1.5mg daily)

KLOW - made up of

GHKCU - 3.3mg

BPC157 - 670mcg

TB500 - 670mcg

KPV - 670mcg

and on top of that I also use

MOTSC - 2mg

Selank - 1mg

Semax - 350mcg

Regarding what you asked about electrolytes - my take is the simplest (and most budget-friendly) route is picking up a high-quality Celtic salt, taking a pinch in a glass of water each morning, and you can repeat it during the day based on how much energy you're burning.

Lately I've switched to taking it under the tongue - I place the same morning amount directly beneath my tongue, let the mucosal membrane absorb it for about a minute or 2, then swallow what's left with a large glass of water!

Yep, Perth in Western Australia.

The powerhouse of the cell is the mitochondria. Beyond that, I haven't a clue what MOTSC is supposed to do

How is your partner handling the GHK-CU burn? I'm guessing it's a daily pin?

How is your partner handling the GHK-CU burn? I'm guessing it's a daily pin?

On top of that, it does a solid job of burning fat

ghkcu is a weird one though — my partner and I used to get stinging injections all the time, honestly probably every other shot hurt badly.

Yet neither of us has felt any sting from a jab for many months now.

Maybe the body just adapts to it somehow?

Another option is injecting into the glute — from what I've heard, that works much better for beginners.
