Injection Depth

[IronKop77]

I know you want to be sure to get thru the skin and any fat and inject into muscle. But suppose one were to accidently inject sub-q or into fat. What would happen? Would the gear still be absorbed? Would it be wasted. Also why are water based items such as HCG HGH injected sub Q?
thanks

Winny and test susp are injected IM.

I don't know the science behind how HCG and GH are released and absorbed once injected.

I'm sure Huck or Macro could answer this easily.

For all im use about a 1 1/2 in pin in the legs unless they are really muscular, then a 1 inch mayb ehough ( I use 1 inch in legs)

1 in is fine for the shoulders and 1 1/2 for the glutes.

As for why hgh is subcu I don't know.

what can happen is an abcess can develop

this can happen by the oil/soulution being injected/trapped between the muscle and skin/fat...the body recognizes it as a foreign substance and begins to attack it, the infection is your bodys way of signaling that there is "something wrong" and action needs to be done to resolve it....just ask anyone that has had an abcess....

So then why can HCG slin and HGH be injected sub Q and into fat? Wouldnt the body see these as foeeign too? Also suppose you do inject sub Q will the AS still be absorbed will it be wated or will it just sit there in an oily abscess pocket?
