That is not approval: in July an FDA advisory committee recommended six of them, and the FDA still has to decide. - • Retatrutide phase 3: **28.7% weight loss** at 12mg dose (dysesthesia signal at 20%+) - • CagriSema phase 3: 20.4% weight loss (NEJM June 2025) - • KLOW corrected: it's the Glow Blend + KPV, not what was listed before **For research and educational purposes only. Not medical advice.** Run bloodwork before any protocol. ## How to use these tables All tables assume a 1mL (100 unit) insulin syringe. If you're running a different vial size or BAC volume, use the BHG Reconstitution Calculator (https://www.bodyhackguide.co/tools/reconstitution). Plug in your exact setup and it gives you the syringe units in 10 seconds. **Vial**: common vial size **BAC**: bacteriostatic water volume **Dose**: typical dose + frequency **Cycle**: common cycle length **Bloodwork**: markers to monitor ## 🩹 1.

Full repair stack. ## 🧮 Reconstitution Rules • **Inject BAC slowly down the side of the vial. NEVER shake.** Swirl gently. • **IGF-1 LR3 = 0.6% acetic acid only.** Everything else uses BAC water. • **Storage:** Dry powder in freezer (1-2 yrs). Reconstituted in fridge at 2-8°C, use within 30 days. • **GHK-Cu stings.** Use fatty areas, inject slowly. Normal. • **GH peptides fasted only**: 2hr minimum after last meal. **Running a different vial size, BAC volume, or dose than the tables?** Use the BHG Reconstitution Calculator (https://www.bodyhackguide.co/tools/reconstitution). It handles any combination in 10 seconds. ## 🩸 Baseline Bloodwork Panel Before any protocol: • CBC, CMP, lipid panel, HbA1c • Fasting glucose + insulin • IGF-1 (critical for GH compounds) • Testosterone total + free • Thyroid: TSH, fT3, fT4 • Liver: ALT, AST, GGT • CRP **Retest at week 4** for the relevant markers. If you're not measuring, you're guessing. ## 💬 Community Q&A Can I stack multiple at once? Yes, but stack compounds on different pathways. Don't double up on same receptor. Nerve repair / diabetic neuropathy? KLOW + CJC/Ipa daily 2-3 weeks then maintenance. NAD frequency? SubQ 2-3×/week. Oral NMN daily. IV session-based. SLU-PP-332 dosing? 250mcg-1mg oral daily. Exercise mimetic, ERR pathway. Mostly preclinical. Best cutting stack? Retatrutide + tesamorelin.
