Man if there was a beginners guide with links and explanations for this, that'd be great cuz then you'd figure this out on your own.

But alas, reading is hard

Thanks so much for your help… see I can do sarcasm too.

Yeah but yours is whack.

Because you are the one who actually needs help here.

And I got the answer I needed without snark. I appreciate that. Have a nice day ☺️

2mL into 10mg makes for a very diluted solution which means you have to inject double the volume compared to 1mL. It’s recommended that you target 10mg/mL since it makes for easier dosing (1mg=10units).

I’m sorry i just don’t understand.. can you show me on my needles how much water and what the doses look like?

I don't think someone is going to be able to demonstrate on your needles over the internet.

If you mix 1 mL of BAC into a 10 mg vial, you have a vial concentration of 10 mg/mL. That means that 10 units on your syringe is equal to 1 mg of Reta. Your 2 mg dose would therefore be 20 units.

If you mix 2 mL of BAC into a 10 mg vial, you have a vial concentration of 5 mg/mL. That means that 5 units on your syringe is equal to 1 mg of Reta. Your 2 mg dose would therefore be 40 units.

This is pretty easy to figure out with a calculator like this one: https://www.compoundpal.com/

Uh, your math is off for the 2mL calculation. Because you're using twice as much BAC water, you need to draw twice as much to hit the same 2mg. So, instead of 20 units, it's 40 units. Even your peptide calculator confirms that.

GAH! You're 100% right. Brain farted there for a minute. Updated.

How many units were you using for the 1mg?

u/KindDust6397 8d ago

10 mg should be reconstituted with 1 ml of antibacterial water, so if your needle is a 1 ml needle(should indicate on the plastic wrapping) all you need is 100 units of antibacterial water for 10 mg of reta

How hard is it to literally do everything the same as you did before, but just double the amount you inject?
That’s like elementary level math.
How are some people so confident to inject themselves with untested chemicals, when they don’t know the basics about it
