Reta Too Effective?

[DeliriousNatty]

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to ask what your thoughts are regarding my bloods on 500T/30V. It appears my LDL is extremely low. I don’t take any citrus bergamot, statins or red yeast.

Current regiment at time of test:
Reta 2mg/wk
Fishoil
Coq-10
Glutathione 250mg IM Daily
Tudca, nac, yatata
Telm
Cialis

For background info, prior to this cycle and using glps, I was normally low end reference range, so pretty good.
These numbers are from a week ago and are day 4 into the Anavar portion, I think I actually took 10mg var before the test by happenstance lmao

Here’s the numbers:
Total Cholesterol: 57mg/dl
Hdl: 31
LDLc: 19mg/dl
Glucose: 80
Trig: 34

AST:48
ALT:43

If anyone has any expertise with something similar, I’d love to hear advice. Thanks

Also at time of this test I was eating around 4000ish cals daily w/ 50grams of fat max…I have since upped that to 80grams in hopes of raising it a bit.

lol I’ve never seen an LDL that low … wtf lol

lol I’ve never seen an LDL that low … wtf lol

I have blood work about 3 weeks prior to that test as well before the Anavar was added and was hdl: 52 and ldl:32.

Idk shit either

Several mechanisms shown in early human trials translational data...
↓ Hepatic VLDL production
↑ LDL receptor expression
↑ hepatic fatty acid oxidation
↓ de novo lipogenesis
↑ bile acid turnover

In phase 2 obesity/metabolic trials, retatrutide produced...
Marked reductions in total cholesterol
Significant LDLC lowering independent of statins. Triglycerides often crashing into the 30s to 40s.

That last point is key...
When TGs are that low, LDL will often “collapse” numerically, because LDLC is downstream of VLDL output.

You didn’t just run retatrutide in isolation, you stacked several LDL lowering items, without realizing how additive they are.

Your regimen hits LDL from multiple angles. Retatrutide (primary driver), Telmisartan, Fish oil, Cialis, Glutathione.

LDL as low as 10 to 20 mg/dL has not shown harm in the short to medium term.
Neurologic or hormonal issues tend to appear only with chronic fat malabsorption or severe caloric deprivation.
