On a journey to a healthier life thanks to GLP-1 agonist peptides. Down 40 pounds over two years. Started with Sema, now Tirz, next Reta? (no medical advice)

@BjjJoshD @korean_doc It freezes well

@PeptideBase lol, you have to be deep down the RUO peptide rabbit hole to think compounding died. Why do you think Lilly wants Reta classed as a biologic so badly?

[Pepper Namlik @Namlik1031]

@lakemandude We’ll see. I think compounding is their biggest problem now. Biologic classification shuts that down before it can start for Reta. Compounding is a lot more appealing to most people. Even my MD approves.

[Pepper Namlik @Namlik1031]

@DrAlexTatem Almost the same voting blocs as BPC-157, will that hold for the rest?

[Pepper Namlik @Namlik1031]

@lakemandude Though with compounding blocked as a biologic, you could argue it frees up resources to go after RUO.

[Pepper Namlik @Namlik1031]

@lakemandude FDA approval through either path, BLA or NDA, enables all that. Biologic classification extends the exclusivity period before generics could be introduced. But I don't know what "much stronger legal tools" it enables to pursue RUO that don't already exist under NDA.

[Pepper Namlik @Namlik1031]

@Krysia830073 Their English is a lot better than my Chinese, so they deserve a pass on that. But not on the bunk kit.

[Pepper Namlik @Namlik1031]

@ManOnThePen What does Reta's classification as a biologic imply for insurance coverage? Seems like that will effectively restrict access. And what does it imply about Lilly's marketing of it? Zepbound remains the default and Reta is a premium option for more extreme cases?

[Pepper Namlik @Namlik1031]

@lakemandude It's kind of a struggle. I refuse to subsist on protein bars and protein drinks. Similar problem as traditional dieting. If you're miserable you won't stick with it.

[Pepper Namlik @Namlik1031]

@PeptideList The public face of RUO peptides does seem dominated by influencers who could be reasonably described as "fitness enthusiasts, biohackers, & looksmaxxers" even though lots of other people benefit too. Those other people have much lower visibility though.

@rorynotsorry @duncanthedev You can’t add bac water with the triple agonist presale?

[Pepper Namlik @Namlik1031]

Looking for experiences from those who have switched from Tirz to Reta. On 15 mg Tirz now. Did you stop Tirz for a few weeks to clear it first? Or straight switch to 2 mg Reta the next week?

[Pepper Namlik @Namlik1031]

@bigredpeps Did you start at 1 mg for four week? Then up to 2 mg?

Glad I found your account. Trying to find more Reta experiences from actual overweight people and not fitness gurus.

[Pepper Namlik @Namlik1031]

@rorynotsorry @duncanthedev Really tempting. Great size for low dose research. And at an amazing price.

[Pepper Namlik @Namlik1031]

@cremieuxrecueil This is wild. Wegovy (sema) at 2.4 mg was barely tolerable even after slowly titrating. I was on the toilet late at night a couple times a week with cramps. I dealt with it because it worked. I can't begin to imagine taking 7.2 mg of the stuff. Tirz has been night and day better.

[Pepper Namlik @Namlik1031]

@RetaDiary I really appreciate your insights. So much of the content on Reta out there is from people who were already reasonably fit and are trying to max out. I would like to find more voices like yours that are trying to overcome a lifetime struggle with weight. Any recommendations?
