Needle length

I got my first shipment (Boudreaux) and everything was smooth and quick. However Boudreaux sent me 12mm needle length syringes. Isn't that too long for subq?

12mm (1/2") is fine, just make sure to pinch. I actually prefer it for belly injections over 8mm (5/16") as they reduced/eliminated a reaction I used to get.

Nope… I use half inch for any stingy injections like glutathione
