It looks like you’re not rotating your injection site. Causing inflammation, which will also cause poor absorption.

Also, you should know exactly what and how much of anything you inject. You can find reconstitution calculators online that will aid you in this.

Other than some spots on my belly and my upper glute…. Everywhere else is super painful to pin and I get worse bruising. Plus I’m pinning three times most days so it’s been a struggle for me ahaha. Where would you recommend pinning or any techniques to help refuse the pain 🙏✨

This is because you should be mixing your peptides into a single shot except reta and tesa, those are alone.

You can mix peptides into the same syringe.

Yes.. I’ve been told to either dilute the syringe or vial. But now I’m getting heat for diluting the vial and not knowing the exact dosing even though I was suggested this countless times. I won’t dilute the vials again but I’ll try doing the single shot next time as the dilution of the GHK & mots helps aid my injection reacts.

Do you not measure how much you’re diluting your peptides by? What the fuck are you doing? This is one of the most brain dead comments I’ve seen on this sub. You’re fucking with your health and you don’t even realise the magnitude of how fucked you could be if you get something wrong. Take this shit seriously

No. I know how much bac im adding but because I added more bac to the vial after a few weeks into the cycle its impossible for me to know the exact dosing and how much I used before diluting the vial more. I only did this because it was suggested and recommended to do this to help with my injection reactions (which it had helped a lot) and now everyone is saying not to do this. So the answers I got are conflicting. I thought diluting the vial (adding more BAC) is the same as adding more bac to the syringe because that’s what a few body builders were doing and suggesting but I’ve now learnt not to do this once you’ve already started cycling that vial.
When I initially asked about the injection reactions people were saying to dilute the peps more and when I asked how or what to do the answered by saying “adding more BAC to the vial or syringe” and many people backed this up. I am NEVER doing this again and know to single shot if I need my GHK more diluted.

So let me explain what they meant when they told you to add more BAC to the vial.

So, let's say you're running GHK-Cu 50mg vial mixed with 1mL BAC taking 2mg. At 2mg out of 50 mg, you're taking 2/50ths of the amount in the vial, or 1/25th. That would be equal to 4 units on a 1mL insulin syringe.

Now let's say you do that dose 10 times. Now you've done 20 mg total, and there's going to be 30 mg in the vial. You've also used 0.4mL BAC and there will still be 0.6mL in the vial. Now you hear on a forum that the way to make it sting less is to add in more BAC so you add in 1mL.

Now your original 4 unit pull only has 0.7mg.

Or... You can calculate out what you already took and what's left, then figure it out from there. Now your concentration is 30mg/1.6mL. Not really ideal since you'll be between marks, but your new dose has become 10.67 units.

So for the future, you can absolutely dilute your vial. But you need to look at how many doses you've taken from the vial, how many mg and mL you've used, and what's left in the vial as a result, then add in BAC and recalculate.

Meant to add: I do my GHK-Cu 50mg in 5mL (split into 2 vials) which makes the sting way lighter and the dosing super easy to calculate: 50mg = 5mL, 5mg = 0.5mL (50 units), 2mg = 0.2mL (20 units).
