Goal reached in 9 months - 55 year old, male, 5'5" (Tirz/Cagri combo)

I feel more confident when I am out. Overall I am happy because I have not weighed this little since my late teens and early twenties.

I knew about the muscle-loss risk before I started, so I added a daily glycine supplement as well.

HGH plus exercise can bring the muscle back quickly. The same thing happened to me when I lost a lot of muscle without training. After using 3 IU five days a week for five or six weeks my muscles came back stronger than before. I am in my late fifties too but now in good shape. The scale went back up about fifteen pounds, yet I believe that is all muscle because my strength is the same or better than before the GLP-1.

What is glycine supposed to do for muscle loss? I have heard carnitine might help but have not tried it myself.

I followed the chart that was attached. 2.4 mg was the highest dose and that is still my weekly amount.

I searched for glycine supplement benefits and the overview listed enhanced muscle growth and recovery along with better sleep, less oxidative stress, better blood sugar control, reduced inflammation, and improved liver health. Other possible effects include support for healthy aging, cognitive function, wound healing, and lower risk of some cancers.

I have taken fairly high amounts of glycine for the past year or so but have not noticed any of those benefits. No change in inflammation despite having an autoimmune condition, and it did not help my sleep or blood sugar either. The other effects feel subjective. Still, I consider it a small net positive for health overall, though it seems a bit overrated.

They act on four different receptors between them, so it seemed logical that weight would come off faster. The bigger reason was reading that tirzepatide starts to lose effect before the full seven days, so I wanted something else to cover that gap.

Did you just use bac water for the mix or add AA water too?

Three milliliters of BAC water only.
