Does retatrutide cause muscle loss?

[faded_pigeon47]

Hello I was wondering if retatrutide caused muscle loss I am on the beginning of my hgh cycle i am wondering if itll be a bad idea whilst taking hgh as well since it might not help me get height

Reta will cause muscle loss but but that’s mainly because of the rapid weight loss you experience rather than direct muscle breakdown

No, retatrutide doesn’t directly cause muscle loss. In fact, improving insulin sensitivity can actually support muscle retention. The only time muscle loss becomes an issue is if someone isn’t eating enough because the drug suppresses their appetite that’s user error, not the medication. Used correctly, it’s excellent.

Reta doesn't break down muscle directly lol - instead your deficit is the thing to worry about. Ap suppression makes most people undereat without noticing, and when you drop weight fast on low protein with no lifting - thats lean mass ur losing rather than fat.

Care about Protein, Resistance training and be concious of Rate of muscle loss

bro also scale weight doesn't matter. Down 10 pounds doesn't tell you about where it came from. Its about muscle retention you need bf percentage, or atleast consistent measurements.

On the height side, if you're not done growing then its prob the aggressive deficit.
