regular syringe or insulin pin for hgh?

**Jumbo18** · 05-10-2010, 07:21 PM

I have a kit of hgh, and usually when I would inject my hcg using a regular 1ml pin a drop or so if left behind and when using hgh, I know a very small amount is needed. So shall i just stick to using my regular 1ml syringes with needles to inject or use slin pins? and what sizes are necessary?

I use insulin syringe. 29 ga, 1ml, 1/2 pin. Very little gets left behind. The HGH's too expensive to waste.

I purchased 30g insulin pins 5/16. is that fine? I'm using this for my mom, not for me actually. She has done two injections using it so far. 0.5iu twice daily, then bump up to 1.5iu daily and stay there in a few weeks. Generally you wouldn't feel anything the first day or two right? When is the onset of the first thing you would notice?

If your mother is lean 5/16" pin is fine. I like the longer 1/2" so I can get subq more easily. If the dosage is too high she'll feel tightness in her hands and wrist. Just back of .5iu and see if the sides go away in a few days. If not, go down another .5iu.

she's not lean a lot of fat around her mid section and using the 5/16. I was worried it wouldn't go in all the way to the fat ( but she tells me no liquid came out), shall I invest in 1/2 inch I suppose? But with 5/16 would if of gotten into her sub-q even though she isn't lean?

So I suppose 1/2" over 5/16" in her case?

i use a 31 ga. x 5/16". you can use the longer needle if you choose, but it's not necessary.

i'm only taking a maintenance dose of 2iu/day (a single shot in the evening) and i feel the tightness feeling in my joints. i don't think a little tightness requires a dose reduction, unless you become uncomfortable. i have always been sensitive to HGH and always feel a little tightness whenever i take it. some people are much less sensitive to the sides than i am.

on another note, how has 2iu effected you? and when did the first sign of any changes occur?

When I started taking HGH, I soon ramped my dose up to 4iu/day. The first signs of "changes" occurred within a month, although my physical changes should be primarily attributed to diet and exercise. And when I've made recent significant weight gains, that's attributed primarily to steroid use .

HGH is much more subtle than a steroid . I currently take 2iu/day as a maintenance dose. Expecting to take HGH and to see any big changes from that alone would be an unrealistic expectation.

HGH helps me retain what I have gained through diet and exercise, and may help to increase my metabolism. It's particularly beneficial for me because I am over 50 years old. Generally, I feel much better on HGH.
