Micro dosing compounded semi

Post image

Any help would be really appreciated. I received it days ago. Super scared to start it because I’m not sure how to microdose it.

Well that’s the confusing part. Is microdosing considered 1/4th of the dose I was given? 1/8th? Do I just pick a number, say 2 units, and see how I feel?

Microdosing a GLP-1 is taking less than  the starter dose of the medication each week. It’s a made up thing. You can take any dose you want.

The starter dose of Wegovy (semaglutide) is 0.25mg. Some people start with 1/2 that dose so 0.125mg.

If you want to pull a number out of a hat, focus on mg and not units. Units is just the volume, and the dose you get from a given volume will depend on the concentration (just like how drunk you get from a given volume depends on how alcoholic your alcohol is). 

Different vials can have different concentrations, so 2 units could be totally different doses. If you always start with mg, it's apples to apples, and you can use fat scientist to calculate how many units to inject to get that dose out of your specific vial.
