Question about how much “liquid” to inject

[Turbo-Farmer]

I will be targeting 1mg reta so it’s not so bad if it’s 1.1 or 0.9 if I reconstitute with 1-2ml o thought

Check your math multiple times,

There's no way to tell If your a super responder to Reta or not.

I'm still at a low dose of triz. I want to go up, but I still experience nausea for a few hours after.

OP, use this. I'd do the 5mg vial, then .05ml BAC then syringe size, then your dose you want and see what you get. You can play around from there.

Pretty sure he meant the 5mg Reta he bought came to him in 2ml vials, not 3ml like normal.

He mentioned that's what the vendor told him.

That’s exactly what I meant!

I mean I personally wouldn't care and I personally target ~10unit doses and do all sorts of other things that aren't best practices. LOL

We're just giving you best practices here since you asked.

Yes that’s what I am looking for. I just mentioned what I was thinking to give context to my questions but I will definitely follow the tips you’ve given instead.

Firstly, welcome!

Injection Shop calculator is the BEST. It is the only one that turned on my dosing lightbulb. It gave me the confidence to finally order.

The vial you will receive is likely a 3ml vial. It will hold up to 3ml of reconstituted solution (powder + bac water).

If your vendor told you the vials are 2mg over, that's an overfill. The mass (mg) of the product is confirmed by testing. As you move forward, ask vendors for their CoA (typically Janoshik). Check the testing date; it should be within 3 mos of when you purchase (buying now, Dec 25 would be as far back I as I would consider tested batch) Look for the VERIFICATION CODE at the bottom and then check it.

Always test at least for mass and purity. Vendor CoA is never the reliable source. Many are out of date or they may not test the product you want to purchase.

In the meantime, there are testing groups you can join. You can also test a vial of the product yourself. There are a few US labs in addition to Janoshik (EU): Freedom and PeptideTest.com

PeptideTest also has a step by step filtering video on YT. Let me find the link for you.

(Edited to make it clear vendor CoA is not gospel)

thank you so much for this information! It is super helpful!

Thanks I’ll use this.

This is backwards thought, which is why the reverse calculator is your friend, and the regular one has no real purpose for us.

Use an awkward amount of bac at reconstitution and an exact rationally-determined number of units with each jab.

Don't try to do math.

My thoughts on this are to do the calculation both ways.

-first reverse to find what you want to dose.

- and then forward to check your work with another calculator.

In my industry this is essential, as concentrations vary and supplies come in many different sizes. If you do a high and a low calculation, and then take into consideration your materials, you often find the sweet spot where everything lines up

Here's the reverse I use.

So, is the 3ml the most common syringe for reconstituting and filtering?

I use more 5ml as I'm usually adding 3ml of BAC.
