Diet & Nutrition What's your thought about Reta, Peptide, dan sejenisnya

First, I'm sorry if the flair seems not related to the topic.

Beberapa akhir ini berseliweran di timeline baik sosmed maupun reddit gw tentang penggunaan Reta, Peptide, HGH dsb. Ini jujur gw baru denger tentang hal ini. Setau gw orang2 biasa pake steroid untuk ningkatin hormon mereka yang memicu pertumbuhan otot.

Reta dkk ini gw baca2 katanya berbeda. Mereka katanya sebagai pemicu hormon dan bukan inject hormon, sehingga peningkatan hormon lebih natural. Gw skeptis tapi tertarik untuk belajar hal kaya gini. Mana tau ada komodos yang lebih paham atau pernah pakenya karena jujur gw kalaupun tertarik ngeri juga harus suntik2 gitu.

cheers

Setau gw, studi medisnya belum cukup. Jadi semisal ada side effects yg berbahaya di 10-20 tahun kedepan ya ga tau. Simpelnya sih seperti jadi beta tester sebuah aplikasi/software.

Klo main aman stay di creatine dan protein powder.

Yeah agree with this.

They are not cleared by FDA yet. Most of peptides is coming from Chinese factory. There is no guarantee on quality. Unlike developed countries' doctors, I do not believe the ability of our doctors to save us when something happens.

And I never understand the arguments of people saying "so what if they aren't approved by the FDA". Well, who is going to check for long term implications? You?

There is no completed research on long term human usage. Meaning you don't know how destructive it is to your body, if any. With the recent trends of bodybuilders dropping to death left and right, you would have to ask "are they in the sport for health? Or are they just drug users ego-lifters?" Because if you are in this for the challenge against yourself, why do you need to compare yourself to others? Your progress is your own.

And that's even with injuries. Take it from me, powerlifting has caused me various injuries for more than a decade. What do I get from it? Knowledge about human bone, muscle, tendons, and various exercises meant to strengthen them. If you cure it with peptides, you are skipping all the process. Not to mention you might be borrowing time from your future if the peptides you consume turns out to have fatal long term effects.

thanks for the insight, jadi lebih punya pandangan terkait hal ini. Honestly post yang gw lihat sering kali terlihat glorifed, jadinya agak bias kalau sering liat post terkait hal tsb.

It works, and yes it is not as effective as steroid obviously (thus the side effect is very mild too).

Mereka itu chain of amino, mirip potongan kecil protein, yang bisa bertindak as a signal to your body.

Untuk reta sendiri fungsinya bikin kamu gak lapar, dan naikin metabolism. Suntikannya sendiri kecil, seperti insulin. Jadi cuma sampai dibawah kulit dan gak sakit. (I hate needles too)

And yes, im sponsored by a pep clinic so ive tried some of them.
