I keep going back and forth on the best way to introduce tirz into my reta routine. At the moment I'm in maintenance, and I've tapered down to 3mg every 3.5 days. My plan is to keep reducing it gradually until the hunger returns, and that's when I'll begin adding tirz. Ideally, I'd like the tirz to end up being the larger part of my stack compared to reta. But I have to wait and see how tirz treats me. Fingers crossed my impulsive side behaves. 
And then doubt creeps in. What's the right way to bring in the tirz? Should it go on the same day as the reta? Would I pin reta on Sunday night and tirz on Thursday morning? So I end up digging through the forum all over again, exactly like I've already done 30 times.

Mostly about gray-area hygiene practices. Specifically: once a peptide has been reconstituted, how many days is it still good to use, what's the ideal way to store it for both short and long stretches, bac water, and so on.

Here's my take....Don't pin both on the same day.....Yep, Sunday night for your Reta is totally fine...and Thursday morning for your Tirz....That plan is solid and it makes plenty of sense....Go for it!....sheilarae74 said:

Most of the time it has nothing to do with glp1s...more of a general peps thing....for instance, why does a particular pep barely do anything for Me while it hits other people hard...
Nothing in the research points clearly in either direction, but if it were me, I'd separate the doses — reta on one day, then tirz 3.5 days afterward. Whatever else happens, at minimum you'll get a clear sense of how each individual shot affects you. And should a vial turn out to be bad, you'll be able to tell which one it was.sheilarae74 said:

This holds true for every medication. The way a drug hits one person can differ from how it hits the next, with some feeling stronger or weaker effects. That variation can show up across whole populations, or it can be limited to particular individuals. Take the finding that people with red hair tend to need more local anesthetic than others do.

Is it okay to ask here whether the mons pubis works as a spot to pin?
Because this crosses my mind constantly…
Not for any strange reason at all, purely out of curiosity.

Even on my way out of this world, the thing I'd still be hunting for is the answer to: what's the correct Epithalon protocol?

I keep using BAC until the vial is empty, and how long it lasts really comes down to which peptide it is. Reta is the only one I use, and after Peppy's ran that study I'll now stretch it to 12 weeks. Before that I stopped at 10 weeks, and I never once made it to 8 weeks. On Friday I'm starting my wife on Tirz alongside her Reta. At 2.5 mg/week, the R30 will cover her for 12 weeks. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks. When my initial 3 month supply of compound Tirz arrived, it was all in 1 vial. That got me thinking: who came up with the 30 day rule that applies once a vial has been reconstituted? Wishing your wife the best as she continues her Tirz journey

Honestly!!!!! I once tried a "conservative" blend drawn from whatever protocols I could dig up (so 10 days, 1mg per day), and it seemed to do the job, though I noticed it fading pretty quickly afterward. For a stretch there it was bliss, truly. A full kit just landed with me, and my plan is to push the dose up. I can't wait to see those same results come around again, which would let me run 2-3x cycles each year.

What I want to know: can I put two peps into one vial and still count on there being no degradation!
I realize the answer most likely falls under "it depends," given how many variables are in play, but if someone could guarantee only minimal degradation through some method or some test I could run myself, the money and the space I'd save would be huge, ugh.

It's great that the experiment got patient approval. I'm eager to see your study's results posted in this community.

Figuring out which vendors can be trusted is probably the thing I keep coming back to. The ones I've grown confident in currently don't carry what I'm after, and because there's a deadline involved I've got to consider other options. When it's just my own cash on the line and I mess up, that's my problem. In this case, though, a fairly sizable chunk of someone else's money is going into it as well, and that's exactly why I keep questioning every choice.

Probably recommendations for where to source for medical facilities. Research indicates Tirz holds up longer than Reta, though that difference appears to be narrowing. If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for compounded product?plant_lady said:

Appreciate it, friend. I hope it gets her going again. Tomorrow she's due for 2.5mg Tirz, and Friday she still gets 12mg Reta. I'm considering dialing the Reta back somewhat, but I believe @woundcarping said to stay at 12mg.

I never reduced my dose. Right now I'm on just 2.5mg of Tirz, and as of last week I raised my Reta to 24mg/week for SAG.

Appreciate it, that matches my understanding of what you said.

OrderlyMeds charged $449 (2.5mg for 4 weeks, 5mg for 4 weeks and 7.5 mg for 4 weeks). Then, when the time came to renew for the following month, the price they quoted me was $249 (10mg for 4 weeks).
Not glp, but pep adjacent. Why is it that every pep gb runs endotoxin testing, yet GH or oils never seem to get tested for anything beyond m/p — and for gh, sometimes dimer, while oils only get presence/amount? I can't tell whether bodybuilding researchers simply accept different levels of risk, or whether there's a scientific explanation behind it. Jano does offer endo for gh, but when it comes to oils, that isn't even on the menu.
