How do I reconstitute peptides with bacteriostatic water?

Draw bacteriostatic water into a syringe, inject slowly down the vial wall (not directly onto powder), then gently swirl until dissolved. Never shake. Store refrigerated at 2-8C and use within 28 days.

How many units should I draw on an insulin syringe?

1 mL equals 100 units on a standard insulin syringe. Divide your required volume in mL by 0.01 to get units. For example, 0.25 mL = 25 units. Use the smallest syringe that fits your dose for better precision.

What syringe size should I use for peptide injections?

0.3 mL (30 unit) syringes offer the best precision for small doses under 0.3 mL. 0.5 mL (50 unit) syringes work for most peptides. 1 mL (100 unit) syringes are needed for larger dose volumes.

IGF-1 LR3 Dosing Protocols

Goal	Dose	Frequency
Beginner Protocol	20-30mcg	Once daily post-workout
Intermediate	40-60mcg	Once daily
Advanced	80-100mcg	Once or split AM/PM
Women's Protocol	10-20mcg	Once daily

Reconstitution Steps

01 Equilibrate to room temperature (15-30 min)
02 Sanitize rubber stopper with alcohol
03 Calculate concentration (e.g., 1mg in 2mL = 500mcg/mL)
04 Inject diluent slowly along vial wall
05 Gently swirl - never shake vigorously
06 Allow 2-5 minutes for complete dissolution
07 Store immediately at 2-8°C protected from light
08 Acetic acid reconstitution: stable 1 year
09 BAC water reconstitution: use within 7 days
