Exploring Additional Benefits of Reta Beyond Weight Loss

Reta stands out mainly for weight loss and fat burning. It can ease inflammation but other peptides handle that area better. Maybe find a reta dose that fits your weight loss aims and add KPV for the inflammation side. GL!

I got drawn to reta partly because of LDL reduction, which shows up more noticeably with reta than tirz in both studies and my own labs. Based on how people read the studies, the best dose for LDL lowering sits around 8 mg.

I've been microdosing 2.5 mg twice a week from the start and never needed to go higher. Dropped 45 lbs from April to August and kept it off. Also lost any taste for alcohol. The only downside has been skin sensitivity and a mild sunburn feeling.

My A1C and cholesterol both dropped. Blood pressure might have too, though I'm not certain on that one.

I'm type 2 so blood sugar control was my main interest and it has crushed my readings. No more need for Metformin. Weight loss is nice too, but that might not matter unless you're diabetic.

Killed any interest I had in drinking alcohol. Wasn't a big drinker before but now I have zero desire.

At 2 mg a week reta cut my alcohol cravings a lot. When I do drink I get a headache almost right away. Also sleeping better than ever, even though reta can cause sleep issues for others. I feel fatigued often but that might just come from the calorie deficit plus lifting.

My benefits list includes no longer needing diabetes meds after A1C fell from 7.6 to 5.6 and morning sugars from 140-150 down to 80-90. Sleep apnea pressure dropped from 10-11 all the way to the lowest setting of 4. Blood pressure normalized from the 140/80 range to mostly 110/70. Cholesterol is nearly normal except LDL still needs work. Fatty liver improved with better AST/ALT and ultrasound showing less fat and good blood flow. Lost interest in beer with meals. Weight fell from 309 to 250 in six months and waist from 46 to 38 so I can wear normal pants and XL shirts instead of 3XL. Still aiming for 210.

My husband stopped snoring and I don't think it's only from the weight loss. He snored since we met when he was young and didn't need to lose weight back then.
