IGF-1 LR3 reconstitution

[nickd84]

I added 1ml of AA to 1mg of IGF. want to take 50mcg 5x week pwo split bilaterally. Dont know how to get 50mcgs into 100u/1cc insulin pin. Can someone direct me to this info.
thanks

well 1ml of the IGF = 1000mcg correct? so on an insulin pin each iu = 100mcg. half an iu would = 50mcg if my math is correct.

Since i added 1ml of AA I now have 1000mcg/ml of IGF. So if i want 50mcg that would be 50/1000=.05ml
Since i have 1cc/100u insulin syringes and usually each tick is measured at .02cc i need to fill mine 2 1/2 ticks, right?

why not just add some more AA and make it easier that just filling it that little?

yea, and wouldnt 2 1/2 ticks be right around half an iu?

I think i got it down now. Even if i add 2ml of AA that would give me 500mcg/ml so 50/500= 0.1ml that would be 5 tick

4ml of AA would be 250mcg/ml so 50/250= 0.2ml
this would be 10 ticks.

Probably going to do 2ml.
Now the ratio for BW, for dilution purposes, is 2:1 correct?

2.5 ticks is 50 mcgs -- i always pull in 1 unit of bw water then whatever amount of igf thereafter -

good info
