Interesting approach. I find that Reta really shines with plenty of carbs on board but everyone is different.

Shit tons of bad info out there about reta, diet and macros. Most doctors and nutritionists don't even know wtf they're talking about when it comes to reta, mostly because it's not for legit sale yet, still in trials. It shouldn't be called (or marketed as) a GLP-1, imo.
HMU if you need help.
I swapped over to Primal Reta a a week or two ago and this stuff trumps the crap out of my previous reta. Ive actually lowered my dose a bit lol

Likely more of a dosing issue than purity. Most of the reta that’s being sold is 98-99% pure but the variance on the dosing in the vials can be significant. Good to lower it though. It’s powerful stuff.

This is truly great news, really happy to hear it! My dad is waiting on some test results to come back. He already survived a "widow maker" heart attack (~98% blockage of the left anterior descending artery) 12 years ago, and lately starting feeling super tired all the time. We're thinking he's going to need more stents put in.

I always do 0-50 carbs on rest days when cutting. It sucks I love it! I did 1 last week and I’m on my 2nd one today and it’s been breeze with the reta
I’m gonna up the carbs a bit once I start my cruise at the end of the month. Doing a hard push now while I still have a decent anabolic load so I can worry less about losing muscle. It’s also kind of an experiment since I usually ease into the cut and save the hard pushes for later on

LMAO it's not fuckin weed. There aren't stronger strains. What @RockyP said, your old shit was either underdosed, or your seller was slapping a reta label on another GLP for the price premium (two decently popular sellers got busted earlier this year for selling sema and tirz as retatrutide).
Yeah in my experience with Reta for 9 weeks was it definitely shuttled and partitioned my carbs disnt get bloated or fat pumps were good as some say they go flat on Reta but I didn’t notice

If it’s working then by all means. I get really cunty on less than 100 g carbs. The longer you can stay depleted the more pronounced and favorable your rebound will be when you add those carbs back in.

I have been on Reta since March. Worked up to 12mg a week and now the compound is relatively ineffective. I am titrating back down (at 6 now). I plan to go to maybe 2mg a week when the bulk starts but it may take some time off for it to work again for me.
Miracle compound. My recommendation would be to stay at the lowest effective dose for as long as possible. As soon as I started with the addict brain of more is better I started seeing the compound work less and less.
Just my .02

Ineffective at what? Are you checking your BG and ketone levels? Are you hitting your daily protein minimum?
dcfreak

Yes. Fasting BG is 74. Protein is at 1.5g. Diet is dialed.
I mean that I experienced significantly less appetite suppression as your body gets used to it and I found when I escalated the dosing there was a point of diminished returns. I would say 6mg would be a cap in my experience. I know the trials show 8mg weekly as the most effective and almost the same results north of 8 as 8.
Just my anecdote.
I went from 225 to 175 on it so I am not complaining. Its time for me to come off anyway besides keeping it in for insulin sensitivity.
Obviously, I'm talking about the dosing. I dont remember what the reserchem lab reports said before they shutdown in regards to dosing accuracy. Im sure the raws were of quality, but feels a little underdosed in comparison. The point is Im a happy ape with reta-nanas lol

Grats on the huge loss! And nice work with the protein, most people who try it don't have a clue about monitoring protein intake.
Reta's only a tiny fraction as active at GLP-1 as sema. If you want more appetite suppression, you can add sema or tirz. Some people have success with cagrilintide too (didn't do shit for my hunger during a cut though).
I don't need to lose either. The metabolic optimization is the entire reason I take it. It makes everything easier, losing, lean gaining, maintaining.

What’s the sitch with reta and ketone levels? I been using reta since April but started getting pretty bad orthostatic hypotension, blacked out 3 times in one night at work. Not sure if it was strictly reta related, electrolyte imbalance, or blood sugar issues. Maybe a combo of everything and more. Had been in a pretty steep deficit for 3 months. Have since cut reta, tripled carbs, and taking electrolytes twice a day for the last 2 weeks, and symptoms have dwindled. Getting bloods next Monday to see if anything weird shows up as well. Anything in your experience I should specifically be looking for? Or have you ever heard of reta giving anyone the hypotension symptoms?

I agree. It just makes everyone a mesomorph, dose dependently. Not everyone ok, but the vast majority of people who use it.

Reta puts you in a state of ketosis without having to become a ketofag. You're constantly breaking down body fat, so you'll always have a low level of blood ketones.
Could be your electrolyte levels. My sodium tanked a few months ago (<130) and I had similar symptoms. I eat a ton of salt now. Could also be any vasodilators/vasoconstrictors you're taking messing with your body's own regulation. Tadalafil can do it. Chronic nicotine can too.

Thank you, brother. And I totally agree. I can control my appetite (for the most part) but for months I simply could not look at food the same.
I am actually glad to be past that now. I dont plan on ever having to cut like that again (what a nightmare), but I will have to come off to desensitize my body to it again if I plan to use it for actual weight loss. The compound is obviously still working in the background but your body learns how to adapt after a while and the food noise definitely comes back when lowering dose.
My wife lost 30 pounds on it and is now off completely as she has no ass. Proceed with caution, men.

I was taking tadalafil as well. I asked someone in a diff thread that was having the same shit happen and he confirmed adding electrolytes got rid of his issues. I was always slamming water but never electrolytes. And probably was shorting myself on sodium accidentally. Good to know I can probably add the reta back in. Thanks for the info
