    The insulin needle is still in CC's. The product your using is measured in iu's meaning it will tell you how many iu's there is per ml. My B12 is 1000iu/ml

    What are you trying to do..

    IU's are different for different chemicals..

    1 IU for insulin could be a different measurement than 1 IU for something else.. etc...

    2 or 20 ***ending on the pin. If you are using GH then you probably have 10IU's per ml or cc which are the same. Insulin needles usually come in 1/2 cc or 1 full cc. Either way they are marked in 1/100th increments which are the smallest black lines on the needle. 1 IU equals 10 of these small lines.

    It depends how much water you added to the gh. How many IUs is the vial and how much water did you add?

    If you added the typical 1cc to the powder, then yes you would go to the number 2 for 2IU's. Again, on some pins the number 20 would be for 2IU's.

    Yes, 1cc into the power and then 1iu equals 10 small black lines on your needle.
    Start with 2-4IU for a month and work up to 6 if you need it. Most guys get good results with 6-10.

    if you have the smaller pins, 1/2 cc, than to fill a 10IU bottle of GH, you would fill up the pin twice to get 1 whole cc??? and then this would mean when measuring for injection, to get 2IU you would double up and actually go twenty small lines instead of ten?? Is this right, gonna start GH on monday.

    Yes correct. You want to put in 1cc of water with the 10iu of GH. 1 tick mark on the pin will equal 1iu. To get 2ius you would pull to the 20 mark.

    I would not run it before bed. Your body releases natural GH while you sleep. I would take it like this. 6am, 10am, 2pm.

    I agree, do not take it before bed, you will stop your own endogenous production of GH while you sleep. You could do it in 2 injections if you like. Also, I would not start at 6 IU right away. Start at 2 and see if the sides are tolerable then work your way up to 6 over a 6 weeks or so. It is not a very fast acting chemical at all, do you have enough to do it for at least 6 months? You wont see any results until 3-4 months at all. If you are planning a short duration, then you are just wasting A LOT of money.
    I have been keeping a log for my first 9 weeks in the over 30 forum if you would like to see how it has gone for me.
