What did you inject today?

I always figured the pharma trials stuck to once-a-week purely for patient compliance. Their target demographic is mostly gen-pop who probably aren't thrilled about needles. If Lilly told them to pin multiple times a week, trial drop-out rates would probably be huge.

I'm definitely no expert on this, but from what I understand, Reta's half-life is around 6 days. Wouldn't taking the whole weekly dose at once give you a massive peak (and potentially more GI sides) followed by a trough where the hunger comes back right before your next shot?

Just thinking out loud, but since most guys here don't mind pinning anyway, it seems like splitting it into two smaller doses (like E3.5D) would keep blood serum levels way more stable and smooth out the ride. Has anyone else noticed less nausea or better appetite control doing it this way?

IME , when I was doing RETA twice a week I was getting massive overlap because of the half-life’s and it was absolutely wrecking me, i thought splitting the doses would keep my bloods more stable , BUT i could not eat at all, and I was doing a very, very small weekly dose. But because of the overlap, it was building up in my system. This drug does affect people way differently so there’s no cookie cutter dose protocol., it’s basically whatever works for you.

Ive always capped bpc-157 at 1mg a day.

See better results higher i take it?

The more mg of Bpc157 , the more Relief you’ll get IME

Up to what point? I’m taking 3mg/day for tennis elbow, and it’s not resolving nearly fast enough.

I do every 5 days, which has been working well for me. At 7 days I could start to feel the effects taper off a bit (things like increased food noise). The only thing to keep in mind is that dosing 5mg every 5 days is similar to dosing 7mg every 7 days.

I think the jury is still out on the most effective dosing protocol.

i do same with tirz, works better

Pinning more frequently reduces the peaks, which could limit the effectiveness. As I understand it, some benefits do not kick in until you’ve hit a certain concentration. Admittedly, I am still learning, but this is my understanding and part of my rationale.

This "logic" would not only not take into account the ester, but also would mean that injecting a huge volume/dose one time and then not inject anything for 1-2 weeks, because peak...
I would bet you anything you want that the guys who actually have results, competing and such, inject either daily or every 2 days, otherwise achieving 2g of test and 1g of primo or something like that would mean 5ml injections.

We’re talking specifically about Reta.

Thats a RESPECTABLE dose of Bpc157 , finalllly someone gets it, more mg = more relief

I read some of your posts when researching disagree. Your anecdotes were convincing. Hoping for solid relief for both of us.

Ah, in that case, my bad.
