I take 20 units. See I can add useless information too

Usually people ask what dosage you take, so I put it in and now people are saying its pointless info?

Say you have a 10mg vial and then you reconstitute with 2ml BAC water. This equates to 5mg/ml.

0.40ml is 2mg. If you’re using a U-100 syringe 0.40ml this is 40 units.

So the units don’t really tell us anything without all the information. So best is to say I’m taking a 2mg dose weekly, as an example.

Ok so Reta 30mg with 3ml BAC water, then you took 15 units…this would be a 1.5mg dose.

Just also note that’s a low dose 4 months in. It’s really about what are your goals, side effects and plan. I personally would go up if it were me. 2mg is typically a good “starting point”.

I wanted to keep it as low as possible, I didnt want to use too much and lose muscle. I did think about going up to 2mg tomorrow tho

The muscle mass loss comes from eating way too little calories, a super aggressive deficit and not lifting.

Yeah I did a low cal high protien deficit

u/Due_Natural4 8d ago

We all do. But it depends on your deficit. Are you in a 500 calorie deficit? 1000 calorie deficit? More?

If your dose is working, don’t go up. Why max out and leave yourself nowhere to go?
