    Question What is 1 IU on a syringe??

    This may seem a little basic, but what line is one IU concidered on a syringe? For example, I have been using HGH since october and I generally inject up to the 20 line and lately the 25 line. I use 5 days in a row and skip 2 days. What is this concidered and is this concidered a low dose or a high dose, etc?

    P.S. When I mix a vial I add water up to the 100 line. Is this correct? At the 20 line it used to last me 5 days, but 25 line lasts 4 days.

    Thanks to all who can help.

    If you're using a U100 insulin syringe the 20 line is 2iu and the 25 line is 2.5iu. This is could be considered a low dose depending on your age and the type of HGH you're using (chinese or US)

    Ok, I checked and it is a 10 IU vial and I mix that to the max in the syringe at the 100 line. Polska 's response above helped break it down for me. So then since i'm at the 25 line then it's 2.5 IU's right??

    The vial is Chinese by the way. Can I read off all of the info on the vial on this forum??

    I use 5 days in a row. At 2.5 IU's the vial last 4 days. I am 37 years old. Should I do 3 IU's per day??

    I have noticed a different in my lean body mass FOR SURE. I wouldn't mind the mid section to be a little more leaner. it is , but i'm particular. Maybe 3 IU's??

    I just want to know when to say when and don't want bad side effects.

    Thank you all for the responses thus far.

    If you have a 15IU vial you can just mix with 1 1/2 ML BacH20 and you are back to even numbers again, (1iu on the pin = 1iu)
