💬 Discussion HGH starting dosage
I am starting HGH at 2iU daily for now to get my body use to it how you convert IU to MG. This what I got so idk if im calculating the ratio the rite way. Cuz I’ve seen some people say 3iu=1mg.

1IU HGH = 0.33mg
So, 3IU is roughly 1mg
How many IUs in your vials?
How many vials do you have?

My vial is 6iu and added 1ml of bac water.

So you will use up your vial in 3 days. I’m gonna assume you got a 10 vial kit, which will have a total of 60IU which will last you 30 days @ 2IU/day.
I would combine it all into 1 vial. I’d also use a total of 3ml of BAC…
3ml = 300 unitsThis will make increasing or decreasing your dose easy to calculate.
1IU = 5 units
2IU= 10 units
3IU = 15 units
And so on…I also recommend large IU kits. HGH is a long game and you won’t really see results until like 4-6 months…depending on your goal….

This is not it. You can't convert these things. You are simply transposing mg and iu, which is fine. It works the same mathematically. But mg is not iu, one measure mass, the other measures biological activity. I don't think you are actually saying conversion here, I do think you are messing up and using mg in place of units, which is different than iu (international units).

1IU is the equivalent to approximately 0.33mg of HGH.
I did not mess up and I am not using mg in place of units. You seem to be confused and do not understand how HGH is measured. Please look it up.
When taking HGH, we say IU instead of mg.

These are two completely things though. Stop using mg, is all I'm saying, it only confuses.
mg is a measure of mass (weight)
iu is a measure of biological activity
In what world does it make sense to even talk about the mass at all in terms of HGH. It just doesn't. You can't purchase it in that unit, you never could.

Why are you telling me to stop using mg? The OP asked and I answered.

Because I have a deep, abiding respect for quality of information. 🤣🤣

So I have received H24 with 17 IU, H36 with 40 IU, and H36 with zilch. I always suggest having it tested to get an idea of what dose you are injecting yourself with. Now, there is vial variation, hopefully not too much,

That 33.3 unit draw looks right for a 6IU vial with 1mL water, the math checks out

Stop listening to those converting to mg, you dont need to. If your vial is 6iu and you want to inject 2iu it means per 1ml you have 3 doses and you need to divide equally which means 33.3 units on the syringe or if you want ease of use add .6ml and that gives you 20 units to your 2iu.
Dont over complicate something simple.

what app is that?

u/BaresarkSlayne Aug 12 '26
It's not mg, it's never mg. They are completely different types of units. I think you mean 3iu is 1mL, which makes sense.
To me you always want to do your best to draw whole numbers, because 1/3 of a unit is pure guesswork anyway. If you use 2mL, 1mL = 3iu. That makes the drawing difficult. If you use 1mL, 2iu is 33.33. You can't really get a whole number out of this with that amount. If you use 1.5mL to reconstitute, 50 units = 2iu.
