How to measure IGF-1 lr3 micrograms on 100 and 50 unit syringes, and I will explain the bact water versus acetic acid confusion

If any members have a suggestion for an article they would like to see written, or has a question that needs an indepth explanation. Please post your suggestion or questions here and I will choose a couple to write about for musclechem.

First i will be writing two exclusive musclechem articles on the following.

1st) How to measure your igf-1 lr3 microgram dosage with a 100 unit syringe and with a 50 unit. with photo illustration and-or video tutorial.

2nd) I will try to explain the confusion as to why so many people think it is ok to use bacteriostatic water or sterile water as an IGF-1 lr3 diluent.

Since the latter does not need illustration or video, i will start here with this topic and give the fast and easy explanation and show you where the confusion arises from.

COMING SOON

I do hope that my images below help you all better understand how to measure out micrograms for your 1mg/ml "1,000mcgs" IGF-1 Lr3 when using a 100 Unit and 50 Unit Insulin Syringe.

IGF-1 lr3 1mg/ml which is 1,000 micrograms in total.

My pins are 50 units per 1/2 ml.
So what are 100 unit ones? Are they per 1/2 ml or 1ml?
This is confusing.
Anyway I just measured out to third line mark on 50 unit 1/2 ml. u-100 insulin syringe. If I want to use bilateral do I needed to use half dose in two or can I pin half then half on other side?
And with 8mm length needle can I go in muscle or just under skin?
To go under skin do I pinch and do it like that or what?


To avoid confusion if pin sizes and holding ml amounts were listed it would of been clear to me. I am not familiar with every size and type of unit pin and the capacity per meaning 1ml or 1/2ml for example.

I believe the 100unit is for 1ml. I use the 50unit 1/2 ml aswell. If you were doing a bilateral injection, yes you would split the dose and hit evenly on each side. About your needle length, it'll be tough to hit muscle with 8mm length. But good thing about igf it doesn't have to be an im injection. But if it was me I would actually stretch my skin instead of pinching for fat. To get the deepest injection possible


If you knew better, you'd do better! Knowledge is power!

Thanks for the reply.
But please give me a straight answer to this question! WHAT IS MEASUREMENT ON 5O UNIT 1/2ML PIN? 5 UNITS IS 100 MCG OF MC igf???

I just pinned for first time. I did in abdomen because I was unsure. I did 3units on 50 unit 1/2 ml pin.
I pinch skin and did in abdomen in sub tissue.

Sorry let me explain throughly. Insulin pins come in three sizes. A 30unit 3/10cc (3/10ml)a 50unit 5/10cc (1/2ml) and 100unit 1cc (1ml).

You just injected 60mcg igf. Count by 20"s per line on 1/2ml (50unit) slin pin

Ok thanks. So 5 units is 100 MCG OF igf

Would this be correct ?
On 100 unit pin each line is 10 mcg
On 50 unit pin each line is 20 mcg
??? ????

That's why I only did 3rd line cause I figured if I was wrong I would only be at 60 mcg. It's all good thanks!
