Does CJC/Ipa increase appetite while on Reta?
I have been taking low dose Reta for almost 6 weeks (0.5 mg twice a week) and it has been amazing at calming my food noise. I started CJC/Ipa 7 days ago (0.1 mg daily), and for the past 3 days, the food noise has come back strong. Could it be the CJC/Ipa causing this? Or do you think it might just be time to increase my Reta a little? I also take SS-31. NAD+ and GLOW, but the change in appetite seems to coincide more with starting CJC/Ipa. I am taking Reta for food noise, not for weight loss, so was trying to keep it low dose so I could still eat and get all my protein in, and have good energy for workouts. Thanks for any feedback on this!

@Sabrina Serna that is a good call...if I go off this, I'll try the Tesa by itself. (I'm just so impatient...lol). Thanks!

@Terri Keath thanks! Let me know if that works for you! I stopped the CJC/Ipa for just 1 day and felt better and less bloated, but just started it again and a half dose so will see if that works…🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
AOD clumping even after over 24 hours in acetic acid
I reconstituted my vial of AOD yesterday with acetic acid and it didn't mix well at all. There are still clumps and chunks in the solution over 24 hours later. Is it still safe/effective to take? I'm afraid to reconstitute the remaining 2 vials I bought because I don't want the same thing to happen. I did everything right as far as I know; I used acetic acid and I added it very slowly. The only thing that maybe made a difference is the AOD and the acetic acid were fresh from the fridge so they were cold. Should I have let it come to room temperature? I can't afford to just toss this whole vial. Is there anything I can do to save it if it's not good to use it clumpy? Thanks everyone!

AOD should be reconstituted at room temperature. Maybe if you roll it gently between your hands and let it get back to room temp (or let it sit out for 20 minutes) the rest will dissolve. I would try that…I usually wait until it is fully dissolved before putting it in the refrigerator after reconstituting. Good luck!
Water Retention
Yall. I’m retaining so much water, have gained weight when I started these peptides (KLOW, ss-31). I’ve been on tirz for a while and felt good. Is this normal? Do I just keep taking and it will go away?

I don’t think either of those should cause water retention. Usually the growth hormone related peptides (Tesamorelin, Ipamorelin, CJC-1295) are the ones that cause water retention. But maybe your body is just adjusting to the changes. I hope it resolves, water retention is awful!!
GHK/Glow results
Ready to research some GLOW or GHK but want to be sure the benefit is worth the cost of the STING! What were your results? I am hoping to give my skin some more elasticity, my face is doing great but living in DRY Colorado is starting to take its toll on my body skin!

I LOVE it. Noticed results within a week or 2. My skin actually has a glow to it and someone commented on it at the gym. 100% worth the sting for me. I usually draw in onto the syringe and leave it out on the counter for a few minutes to get to room temp to lessen the sting.
