its great that I get pm's dont get me wrong I am here only to help out, but there are something that become tedious to me questions that can be answer easily with a simple search.
And just a reminder this is for entertainment purposes only and does not represent nor replace the advice of a doctor.
Back to the basics
ml = milliliter. This is a VOLUME measurement. it is 1/1000 of a liter. When talking about water or similar liquids, it is equivalent to one cubic centimeter.
cc = cubic centimeter. This is also a VOLUME measurement. Most syringes measure their capacity in cc's. If you have a 1cc syringe, it will hold 1ml of liquid.
iu = international unit. This is a unit used to measure the activity (that is, the effect) of many vitamins and drugs. For each
substance to which this unit applies, there is an international agreement specifying the biological effect expected with a dose of 1 IU. Other quantities of the substance are then expressed as multiples of this standard. This also means that this measurement is not based on sheer volume or weight of the substance, but rather the effect.
mg = milligram. This is a WEIGHT measurement. It is 1/1000 of a gram. the amount of chemical substance is often measured in milligrams. For injectable solutions, this will be reported as a concentration of weight to volume, such as mg/ml (milligrams per milliliter). In the case of orally administered substances, the weight of chemical is labeled, although the actual weight of the pill/capsule may be much higher, because of the use of filler substances. This means that a small pill may be much more potent than a large pill, so don't judge a pill based on its size, but the actual amount of substance for which it is labeled as.
mcg = microgram = 1/1000 of a mg (milligram) There are one thousand micrograms in one milligram.
Conversion factors:
1000 mcg (microgram) = 1 mg (milligram)
1000 mg (milligram) = 1 g (gram)
1000 g (gram) = 1 kg (kilogram)
1000 ml (milliliter) = 1 liter
1ml (water) = 1cc (water)
Q. What is a Peptide?
A. Peptides are cell messengers that nourish, repair, and send neural-messages, which naturally stimulate diminished collagen and other important skin tissues as well as relax repetitive wrinkle-causing facial expressions. Peptides are found in nature, but are lab-enhanced for safety, maximum efficacy and stability.
Peptides are small protein fragments. A peptide molecule is formed by joining two or more amino acids. When the number of amino acids is less than about 50, these molecules are named peptides while larger sequences are referred to as proteins. The amino acids are coupled by a peptide bond, a special linkage in which the nitrogen atom of one amino acid binds to the carboxyl carbon atom of another. Peptides are present in every living cell and possess a variety of biochemical activities. They appear as enzymes, hormones, antibiotics, receptors, etc.
Q. How should the peptide(s) be stored?
A. The lyophilized product should be stored in the refrigerator. Only place in the freezer for long term storage. Peptides can be good for two years or more.
Q: What purity do I need for my "experiments"?
A. The final purity of a peptide is very important and depends on the type of experimentation you are doing:
• For non-sensitive screening assays crude or >75% is recommended.
• For immunogen grade >85% is recommended.
• For receptor/ligand studies, bio-assay studies, or cell studies >95% is recommended.
• For structural studies >98% is recommended.
Q. What should the peptide(s) be reconstituted (mixed) with?
A. When in doubt reconstitute with Bacteriostatic Water (BW) for Human Growth Hormone (HGH), HCG, PT-141, Melanotan peptides (M-I, MT-II), both GHRHs (CJC-1295, tetra-sub or modified GRF(1-29) and Sermorelin) & GHRPs (GHRP-6, GHRP-2, Hexarelin & Ipamorelin). Sterile water does not contain benzyl alcholol as preservative and should be used within days.
For IGF use an acetic acid solution (.6%) AA
ok, after reconstitution
measure the desired amount out for injection. Use a U100 insulin syringe to draw out and inject your product.
KNOW your product and the amount it contains this is important!Since you know the amount of IU's/MG's in your vial, then divide this out. You will need to know the following to be successful: 1ml = 1cc = 100 IU's
for example I used 1cc(ml) of water. then have a 10 IU vial of HGH.
From our formula above we know that 1cc = 100 IU's, so we have 100 IU's of water. now divide the 100 IU's by 10 IU's 100 IU / 10 IU = 10
In the example every 10 mark on our syringe will equal 1 IU of HGH. Want to draw out 2 IU's of GH?just draw out to the 20 mark on the syringe
Can stress how much keeping things as sanitary as possible
be sure to wash hands before and after, use alcohol pad to further clean injection site!
basic reconstitute
1.Take the protective cover of the needle, top and bottom.Pull back the needle plunger to draw in the air equivalent to the dose you will draw.
2.Insert the needle into the vial through the center of the rubber stopper. Inject the air into the vial. Leave needle in the vial. ALL PRODUCTS SHOULD BE VAC SEALED
3.Turn the vial upside down with the needle still inside.
4.Pull back the plunger again to the desired dosage mark on your needle.
5.Check your needle for any air bubbles, tap the needle so they rise to the top and then push the plunger to remove them.
Injection site
Can be injected Sub q anywhere there is a hi fat layer
be sure to rotate injections sites
avoid bruised or swollen areas
how to inject with insulin pins
1.With your other hand pinch two to three inches on either side of the area you have cleaned.
2.Using a quick motion, insert the needle into the pinched area. The needle should go all the way into the skin.
3.Push the needle plunger until all is out of the needle.
4.Pull the needle straight out.
5.Apply gentle pressure to the site with the alcohol wipe.
6.Do not rub the injection site.
If there is anything to be added we will discuss and re-write/edit/delete
