I know that most things are measured in cc's and growth hormone is measured in i.u.'s. Whats the difference between i.u.'s and cc's? Thanks... :unsure:

100 i.u's is equal to 1cc or 1mlQuote:

Most slin is in 1 of 2 standardized concentrations 40IU/mL or 100IU/mL. GH will be XIU/mL depending on the volume in which you reconstitute it.
NO :no:Quote:

He could be referring to the volume, the slin needles i get are 30iu or 3/10th of a cc so 100iu would be 1cc.Quote:

But that's only if you're referring to insulin, and if so, that's only referring to U-100 insulin. There simply is no conversion for IU to any unit of volume or mass (g). Each conversion is dependent upon the compound in question.Quote:

1mg of IGF-1 LR3 is not equal to 2.7IUs, as IGF-1 has its own mg to IU conversion, as does every other compound.
