I managed to call my family before I passed out.

I managed to call my family before I passed out. That’s the part I keep coming back to. There had been a warning before that: metallic taste, itching everywhere, vomiting. It lasted about fifteen minutes, then I felt fine. I was taking several peptides and decided GHK-Cu or IGF must be responsible. Threw them away and took a week off everything. Then I tried tesamorelin again. I’d used it successfully for months before, so I’d been much less suspicious of it. Within seconds, the taste and itching were back. After the phone call, there’s a gap in my memory. My family told me I’d been struggling to breathe. I’d mistaken feeling fine after the first reaction for having figured it out.

I am interested in adding the wolverine stack to my regiment and also thought about KLOW. A friend told me he took GHKCU and KPV two weeks prior to starting the wolverine stack to reduce inflammation and he said it worked great. Anyone have any experience with this?

69 year old female here. Started Reta late May after losing 20 pounds using time restricted feeding and Intermittent fasting. Titrated slowly. Starting at 1 mg all the way up to 4 mg with minimal side effects except for the elevated HR and plummeting HRV on my Oura ring. I have lost only 15 pounds since May and in September my weight has stalled. I do water aerobics 5X a week, lift 3X a week, and prioritize protein eating 2 meals a day. I tried AOD9654 on mornings of fasted workouts but didn’t see much progress. I’m currently alternating with CJC/IPA and Tesa/ IPA and have seen some body recomposition and inches lost, but my weight has stalled for the past month. Is it time to titrate up to 5 mg?

42F. Couple weeks of topical GHK-Cu. Still unsure about the skin benefits but my 4–5 chin hairs are now about 30, so something’s having a great time.
