Subcutaneous injection absorption times....

[Testosterone boy]

I injected some B complex with my HCG this morning. B normally turns piss mad yellow. Has not happened.

I don't recall the normal delivery time for subcutaneous injections into stomach fat.

That would really depend on the compound, insulin makes it across in less than 15 minutes - cyanocobalamin, which would be held in the same aqueous solution as the complex, is effective in 1-2 hours intermuscular and 3-6 subcutanous. Depends furthermore on the amount of fat you have right now in the area, and your metabolic rate. Moderate bodyfat for me holds the absorbtion rate at 4 hours. If you want the compound to be absorbed faster do a few crunches (stomach inj.) to bring more blood flow to the area to drop the time linuer to the amount of intensity you used.

Thanks Knox....great answer bro.


Been comparing the potency to my B50 tablets. I'd have to inject 10ml to get about the same B potency. I would think that injected B would have a higher "efficiency" though?


Is injecting B somehow better for you? I have 4 bottles so inject it I will.

Administering the vitmains VIA injection has a much higher bioavailablity than its oral counterpart. The last time I checked a couple months ago, from what I remember (again regering to b12, because it has near identical pharmacology) the bioavailability of oral b12 was around 60-70% at the usual dietary intake levels. This number decreased by near 50% once the dosages were raised over 1g (oral). So administering the vitamin straight into the body (injecting), bypasing digestive restrictions, you would yield a contstant 90% + bioavailability, and due to the fact its water soluble it would hold the same halflife of 9-12 hours before elimination.

i usually tap the inject spot to get the blood going.

Unless by 'tap' you really mean 'forcefully punch', then unfortunately your doing much else than temporarily irritating the epidermis, which is too shallow to really have any serious effect. Although It tends to numb the sensory nerve endings, incase your sensitive to the initial entry pinch. The subcutaneous level is below that and right under the next layer (dermis). Heavy muscle contraction is the best and fastest way to stimulate high blood flow, and by now (with a history of weight training) your body will be plenty accustomed to sending lots of blood to the muscle belly.
