Is a unit of slin equal to a i.u.?
an IU is dependent on the compound.....so an IU of slin is not necessarily equal to an IU of anything else, unless it's in a concentration that happens to make them equal. Activity (IU) is pertaining to the mass of the compound, so when you have it in solution, the activity/mL can be anything.Quote:

Thats why they have specially desingned syringes for Insulin only ;)
because if you tried to measure slin out with a regular dart you would end up killing yourself.Quote:

So it would be safe to assume 1/2 CC is about 50 units? I am thinking about trying IGF1. What is the normal dosing? 2 or 3 units each time twice a day? Also I heard some people do 5 days on, 2 days off each week? Is this normal? Also I dont want to ask for source but is MR still in business?Quote:

100iu dart goes in increments of 2 up to 10-20-30-40-50 and so on to 100.
so each tick is 1 iu for measuring slin.. follow me here?
If you're measuring ifg-1r3 then each tick is 20mcg
1ml of igf =1000mcg or 1gm
you guys follow me?
From everything I have read they are still alive and kicking. I sure hope so at least because I am ready to put in an order.Quote:
