an IU is an IU
insulin needles are measured in IUs units of insulin are IU or international units
so 6 IUs of hgh is 6 units on an insulin needle

An IU is not an IU is not a unit, and it depends on how you reconstitute your HGH.
If it is Serostim that comes with Sterile Water, it is available in vials containing 4mg (12 IU), 5mg (15 IU), and 6mg (18 IU). If you use the sterile water (1cc) that comes with each vial, you will end up with either 12, 15, or 18 IU per cc. On an insulin syringe 1cc = 100 units or 0.01 cc per unit.
From your post it sounds like you have the 18 IU vials (that's a 126 IU kit) . If you want to do 6IU that's 1/3 of 18, or 1/3 of 1cc which equals 33.3units on the slin syringe, just like you figured. You are correct.
If you use bacteriostatic water you can use the conversion figures I gave to go from IU to cc to units on a slin syringe.

. But if I want to start out with 5 iu of slin thats going to read 6 out of the 100.
Where did you get 6? You had it right in your first post with 5.
what I am doing is reconstructing GH 126 iu kit I guess that would be 33.3333 units for 6ius
But my big question is I am starting slin but want to start at 5 and make my way up. to 10 so what would the pin read on a 100unit pin 5 units or around 31 units to make up the 5 that people shoot

ok mabey i misunderstood the question but
an iu is an iu an international unit is 1/100 of a ml period
when refering to hgh it is mesured in units not international units
what is a unit of hgh? a unit of hgh is a unit of hgh.
what is the hgh concentration in solution? that is another question.
how can you use the same unit of measure and say"you have the 18 IU vials (that's a 126 IU kit)" how is a 18 iu vial a 126 IU kit
correct me if im wrong but your talking about 18 hgh units which i can find no volume measure for so it must be an arbitary measure of pure hgh powder which is then put into solution... right?
so this 18 units of hgh must be put into 1cc(100 IU or 1 ml) of solvent(bac water) which means 6 hgh units is 33.33 international units... right?
ok an IU is an IU... BUT... a unit of hgh is not a IU.
so if he wanted to do 6 IU of hgh solution it would read 6 iu on an insulin needle.... right? this seem like a small dosage but hey what ever i dont judge.
but perhaps i should have anticipated what his real question was and not guess that he knew the correct terms hey you can get a lot of hgh injecting small amounts through the day... right?
bottom line
an IU is an IU
insulin needles are measured in IUs.. units of insulin are IU or international units
but... units of HGH are not the same as IU a unit of hgh is a unit of hgh... the important question is what concentration do you have and we can figure howmany IU's you need to get your 6 UNITS of hgh
so 6 IUs of hgh is 6 units on an insulin needle but 6 UNITS of hgh will depend on the concentration
as weve determined the 18 UNIT HGH kit disolved in 1 cc of bac water would take 33.3 IU to achive a 6 Unit dosage
the 12 UNIT hgh vial would require 50 International units to achieve the same 6 hgh UNIT dosage assuming it was also diluted in 1 cc of bac water
now if im wrong ill post my name and address on this board just like the almighty(just kidding but if im wrong please tell me how and what parts are wrong)

nandi12 do i got it right
peace

If you arre using the Serostim 18iu vials, and reconstitute with 1 cc of bac/sterile water, than 1 iu of Gh reads 5.5 on the insulin needle. Take it from there.lifeline said:what I am doing is reconstructing GH 126 iu kit I guess that would be 33.3333 units for 6ius
But my big question is I am starting slin but want to start at 5 and make my way up. to 10 so what would the pin read on a 100unit pin 5 units or around 31 units to make up the 5 that people shoot
Thanks, BigMoose. MOD answered this question a while back:

Acneman, You can believe what you want but an IU is different for every substace. It is an arbitrary unit of activity, not a volume or a weight. For instance, each one of my multivitamin tablets contains 5000 IU of vitamin A. This would obviously not weigh the same or take up the same volume as 5000 IU of HGH or 5000IU of HCG.
I think we are all in agreement now that 6IU of HGH will fill an insulin syringe to the 33.3 line mark.
Unfortunately, I could not find a webpage that describes how to reconstitute serostim, but here is one for Saizen, the same compound, Somatropin, made by Serono.
http://drcranton.com/hghart2.htm
I'll walk you through the math. It's all at that site.
It comes in a 15 IU vial designed to be reconstituted with 3.2cc of diluent. As the directions specify, add the 3.2 cc to the 15 IU vial of HGH. This gives a concentration of 15 IU/3.2 cc, or 4.68 IU/cc.
This means 1 IU is 1/4.68 or 0.2 cc. Just as in the article
For Serostim, as I showed above, you have an 18 IU vial designed to reconstituted with 1cc of diluent. If you want 6 IU thats 0.333 cc, or 33.3 marks on ther slin syringe.
