Whenever I can’t solve something right away, it excites me. My brain treats it like a puzzle—it waits patiently until I’m ready to chase the answer down. Right now, that puzzle is getting ARA-290 into solution the right way. I’ve been told PBS is the way to go, but sourcing it in research-appropriate, single-use formats has been harder than expected. I’d prefer something like 5mL sterile vials if they exist in the wild. Ask to the Community 🔍 Has anyone successfully sourced USP-grade PBS in small, single-use vials? 📦 Any vendors or lab supply chains you trust for this? 💡 Open to hearing about workarounds or best practices you’ve used. Let’s crowdsource this one—if you’ve solved it, drop your insight below. ⚠️ Reminder: This discussion is for research and laboratory purposes only. Nothing here is advice for medical use.

I have been on a plateau for over a year. I have cycled through aod9604, 5A1MQ, SS31, CJC/Ipa... I microdose tirz 4weeks on/off. I exercise 4-5 times a week with cardio hard ~3 days a week. I take recovery days. And still stuck. Maybe I am at homeostasis, but there's areas I feel I could be better at. SO, while sitting in my freaking phenomenal Aesthetician/Functional Health NPs chair yesterday getting tortured with Sculptra injections we had our peptide talk (like we always do). She teaches me stuff, I teach her stuff. She said game changer for her was reta. And she stacks it with tirz. Her suggestion is stick with a microdose of tirz (2mg) once weekly and add Reta 0.5mg 3 times a week. Cycle with my tirz 4 weeks on/off. We shall see! Now... I just finished cycle of aod9604 with 5A1MQ. Do I add in Mots C for the cycle??? And of course through all my aesthetic treatment I am on KLOW for a super long cycle until all my injections are done. Thoughts?

What peptides would everyone recommend for improvement or sharpening of mental cognition or alertness? I have tried NAD+ but would like any additional recommendations. Thanks!

From the beginning or after you get to the dosage that is good for your body ?

Dose any one else feel bloated on the Reta? Even from just consuming water
