IGF-1 users: dosage and needle size ? (math required)

[snagglepuss]

I have 1000mcg of AG IGF-1. I was told to mix it with 2ml of bac water. If I want to take a dose of 20mcg, how many cc's is that?

By my math, it's 4/100 of a cc (= 20mcg*2ml/1000mcg). But, if that's right, what size needle do you use? Even with a 0.5ml insulin needle, that would be pretty hard to dose, no?

thanks, k for help.

you need to use a slin pin bro, it's NOT CCs , it's IUs

2ml = 200IUs

so 1000mcg/200IU = 5mcg/IU
20mcg = 4 IUs

Awesome, thanks! I think we're saying the same thing: 4/100cc = 4IUs. So do you use a 50IU (1/2cc) slin pin or do they make smaller ones?

thx!

50IU slin pin is about as small as they get, use that

gotcha. thanks again.

by the way, I keep trying to give you karma, but it says i have to spread it around first. (although it looks like you're doing Ok!)
