Can you mix SQ injections

I was wondering if you can mix HCG and B-12 in the same syringe?

No, I dont believe so. The reason is HCG is injected subcutaneous.(just under skin) using a 29g 1/2cc needle. B12 on the otherhand is injected deep under

I actually know people that use injectible B-12 as the solvent for their HCG instead of BAC water. They said it works great, and is painless using a 1/2" slin syringe and injecting SubQ.

Actually, IM is the best route of delivery for both HCG and B-12

I was always told that for HCG it didn't matter?

MM interesting. Saturday I tried injecting b12(just got it 5 days ago). I used the 29g 1/2" slin. I noticed the area discolored like black& blue but knowingly from the dark reddish color of b12. Therefore I concluded it should not be taken that way. Thinking its not being absorb quickly and the water in it evaporates. So if I understand you right Einy its okay to do it like that?? Thanks

IM is far more efficient, especially with water-soluble vitamins. With IM injections (of anything), you get a much more predictable absorption. SubQ is convenient and less painful, so it's usually preferred....it works fine, but it's not the "best" way to go. B-12, definitely IM....HCG .....ehhhh, either way, but IM is just better.
