Hi there, all 
-
Tried to look at @AlexKChen 's file, but it doesn’t exist anymore -
Can anyone tell me a source where i can get Retatrutide? (And the cost?)
(…And/or, does anyone know a source for
[compounded, I guess] Tirzepatide PILLS??
I’ve seen Drops, but I feel like pills offer more foolproof dose administration…)
…And if hesitant to publish on here …does this site have the capability to message? If yes, maybe you can just message me…
Thanks, everyone
No such thing at this time. SubQ weekly injection only.
The only oral glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) medication currently available is Rybelsus (semaglutide). Rybelsus is taken as a tablet once a day.
.
Hi there @Steve_Combi, and ALL -
…They are compounded, and the cost is $349 (+ I think another $100 monthly membership fee), so may be prohibitive for some,
but I just found that HenryMeds.com offers PILLS of both Semaglutide AND Tirzepatide,
so, at least there’s an option…
…Can anyone tell me a source (open to different formats) for Retatrutide?
And how about for Rybelsus, even though it only hits one target?
Thanks everyone!

Until I see the mfg of these peptides marketing a tried and tested version, I’ll stick with the proven methods.
Oral versions are coming
Been using GLP1-R’s for 18 months and they are life changing, lost 55lbs started with Tz and then Rt. Mainlining my ideal weight since July with 2mg Rt weekly.
Having used Mounjaro for three years now, and have had sustained results, I’m eager to see what Lilly’s Retatrutide will do for me. I think I’ll stick to the real thing and wait for it from pharm. One of the “benefits” of a history of T2D is access to medication at insurance rates. I can’t fathom paying three four hundred a month for a medication I get for $25.
… @MichGuy12 sadly my insurance will not cover any weight loss meds - not even, no matter how “well qualified” (large) a person may be 
-
can you please share your source(s)? (if you get Mounjaro through traditional channels, nevermind that one …but, Retatrutide, if you get through non-traditional means? ;
***and please, message me if afraid to mention source here…)
thanks so much!
I am a type two diabetic. Even though I haven’t had an A1c higher than 5.0 in the last three years, I’ll always be a diabetic. So that diagnosis follows me and my insurance covers it as part of the treatment for T2D. I have not tried Retatrutide.
Since that one is not yet on the market, it will be a while before it’s available, to meet your "conditions of insurance pricing
Good point, if Mounjaro stops working and or I need a boost I’ll consider it. I’d rather save the money and go on trips and stuff – feeding the other side of my longevity journey, the spiritual one.
I doubt it will stop working with regard to glucose control when used as prescribed.
It may stop working for weight loss, some have experienced that but so far it is enabling solid weight maintenance for the folks I know.
The weight reduction aspect is a journey, sometimes a long one for some people and plateaus can occur but the glucose control seems to remain functional.
The weight loss function vs the glucose control function are somewhat separate functions.
3x the dose for 3.1% more weight loss. I’d be curious if there are more side effects at that dose.
I’m curious what name brand they’ll come up with once Retatrutide gets approved in 2026. By the time it gets approved, I will have been taking it for well over a year, since I’ve been on it for 8 weeks now, at a low dose.
The only people taking these oral versions are unfortunate suckers who don’t know any better. I know because I was one, although I used the Henry Meds money back guarantee to get a refund since it was completely useless and had zero effect.
Sema and tirz too big to be absorbed across the oral mucosa and are rapidly and completely broken down in the stomach (unless there’s a special patented absorption enhancer called SNAC technology in the case of Rybelsus, which allows a small fraction to be absorbed directly across the stomach wall). Don’t waste your money on the compounded orals (compounded injectables, on the other hand, have been very effective in my experience).

I’m going to finally stop holding off and inject mine tonight, I’ve had too much disruption from late night hunger
Apparently this one (Retatrutide) helps with lean mass retention relative to Semaglutide. Not sure why, but maybe it has to do with the effects on the liver.
and for me, the lean mass retention is really important b/c it’s not going to be easy for me to regain it.
Why not, is it the strength training part, or what, if you mind me asking?
I have chronic fatigue (too tired to do things half the time) and ADHD-PI, it makes consistent strength training extremely difficult
but beyond those excuses! The real reason is b/c I want to spend all my time doing knowledge work and it takes away from it.
nearcyan has moderate AGI timelines and uses them to reduce food costs. I don’t need to reduce weight, I just need to reduce how disruptive hunger is to my entire day (i can be hungry enough to eat/drink 9 lbs of food/drink at once, like yesterday when I went from 102->111 lbs (it will go back to 102 very shortly b/c it was ultra-low-calorie, but it’s very disruptive)
Also I have A LOT of noise in my brain (so much theta/delta to alpha/beta ratio) which is strongly associated with ADHD but it makes it hard to focus when doing repetitive things like this beyond the first time
Good stuff. I’ve almost been on it for 5 months now. 3mg per week.
Mind sharing what the X post was about for those of us without an account?
