How many Peptides are you on ? Which ones ? Are you planning to start new ones ?

[SteveM]

Hey Canadian Brawners - thought I'd start a thread asking what people are on & what they are planning to start ?

So many different Peptides out there - I'm just learning about them all & thought I'd obtain more info by posting this thread.

I'm a little over 4 weeks into this - with great results. Presently on CJC/Ipam (no dac), 157/500, Reta & just started AOD 9604 (mainly for hopes in Cartilage regrowth).

Planning to start GHK-cu, SS-31 and Nad soon.

Getting up to 7 compounds into ya at one time? There was thread recently about someone taking 10. Reminds me of the old days were we would take a mason jar and pour a bit out of every bottle in the parent's liquor cabinet so no one missed it then sneek her out of the house. O to be underage again.

Sounds like you're caught up in the hype.
Peptides are not new, social media has made them mainstream.
They have purposes and can be useful but they do not replace the basics.
All too often people rely on the drugs while ignoring the foundations, I'm not saying you are , you gave no context to your reasoning or your current situation.

I understand what your saying - and I totally agree...to a point. I believe the older you get - the more you see the benefits of these. Unlike AAS they don't seem to have big side effects. Yes diet, exercise & sleep are the foundations - but when your 60 your pituitary is producing much less gh than when your 30 - and your test is lower - and when you feel fatigued and arthritis & other things creep in - you look for solutions to bring you back from the pain & stiffness - to increase your energy - and get back into the gym with drive.

Not sure how old you are Rhyno - or how good of shape your in - but many of the older guys here will understand that Peptides are no hype - they are potentially a life changing option.

I don't see them classified as drugs (are they ?)- simple aminos that have profound effects - and I'd much rather do these than drugs.

It seems to me that peptides are more about health than bodybuilding - although they do cross over that line slightly.

Right now there are so many out there - and if they have the same profound effects as say reta, 157/500 or CJC - I'd like to know what people are taking so I can look things up and learn more.

Your absolutely right - I hope in the next 5 yrs we see bundled peps - like klow- so we don't have to do multiple injections - it would make my life easier - but with the relief I've seen in the last 5 weeks I'm absolutely amazed - I'll do what I have to do to feel like I'm 40 again - when I could lift heavy for 2 hrs solid and do it again the next day... when I didn't wake up stiff & sore - when my skin didn't have impressions in it from kneeling down for 2 minutes like it does today... the body changes when it gets older - and sometimes it hits really f'n quick.....like almost overnight.

Although I never did the mason jar thing ....damn - that sounds a bit raunchy...

I think most peptides are over-hyped waste of money.

Few are good / worth it.

Currently on Retatrutide and HGH. Have ran klow previously and wolverine stack. Also ran CJC1295/Ipa. The reta very noticable. The healing blends i believe were helpful in healing nagging injury/inflammation. Im thinking about trying Dsip ad my deep sleep is brutal and its catching up to me.

Thanks for chiming in - Yes - Dsip is on my radar also - if you try it pls send me a pm let me know how it works for you. The CJC/Ipam I'm on is definitely starting to work - helping with my gh - however my sleep is not what it should be unless I take a melatonin - that being said I'm not tired during the day - feel better now than I have in months - even a few years to tell the truth.

Thats awesome. Thats the goal for me is putting on and keeping some lean mass but healthy and feeling good.

I'm currently taking reta at 1mg/week(.5 x 2 weekly), bpc at 1mg/day and kpv at 1mg/day. Have tried ghku and mots-c. Liking reta alot now that it isnt killing my appetite. I have auto immune issues so i get plaque psoriasis on knees and elbows but since i started taking kpv its subsided. Ghku was just too much of a pain in ass to keep it in the routine. Sore injection spots/bruises daily isnt much fun. Mots c was good for blood glucose but didnt get really any energy increase. Not planning on starting any new peptides at the moment, pretty happy where I am.

 

[MFAI]

Right now - Reta, Cagrilintide, HGH, DSIP, Semax, Selank, Mots-C, Slu

Peptides ive tried - BPC, TB, KPV, GHK-Cu, 5-Amino-1mq, NAD+, Tirzepatide

Coming soon - SS-31, Epitalon

Honestly other than HGH, they are not that good for mass. Anabolics is where you will get those gains. Peptides are best for glucose control, energy, sleep, hunger control, injury/recovery, skin, inflammation, mental performance.

As for the questions on DSIP, it was a game changer for me. I went from 3-4 hours sleep to 6 hours and more deep sleep / rem. But I hear its 50/50 for people. I am also overflowing with cortisol.

Ive been on Reta for 6 months, lost 70lbs and completely recomped my physique. But eventually it really doesn't suppress hunger that well. So I added in cagrilintide.

Hi Jimmy - thanks for jumping in - so its the kpv you figure is reducing the psoriasis ?- that's good ! I've got some coming and am looking forward to trying that for my hip / hand osteoarthritis - although the 157/500 I'm on it taking a nice dent out of the pain. Sorry to hear about the GHK - cu issues- I know some people find it's a bitch to inject but hear it does wonders. I hear the motc is best for older guys - that's me - and a friend of mine on CB says you need to run ss 31 first - then motc works - not sure how old you are - but it might be a combination of the ss31 and your age ( I take it your younger than me) - that is the reason for no energy increase. I have motc on my list after I've taken the ss31 for a month.

Your only taking 1mg reta/wk - your just starting on it ?

Hey Mfai - interesting about the cargrilintide - although I haven't used reta that long - I've read that using that pep with reta is a bit risky. You sure you just didn't need to come off reta for a while for a reset then start up again on it ? You lost a hell of alot of weight on reta -gotta be happy as hell about that - over 6 months - how heavy were you when you started ?

I know hgh is much better for mass - I'm on CJC/ipam - noticing a nice difference in my pep / energy - and holy shit so much less stiffness & soreness. I'm prediabetic - so once my weight comes down - I'm going to give things another 3 months - I'll drop the cjc/ipam & try a few iu of hgh per day - see how I feel after a while on it. I hear I have to monitor my glucose levels - although maybe not for a few iu/day. Mass gains would be nice - right now just looking for major health improvements.

I have a bunch of slu tabs from gg - haven't tried them yet - again I'd like to be on the ss31 for a month first - but I hear the slu works wonders - did it do anything for you ?

You noticing anything with the semax/selank - you taking a blend ?
