    5IU = how many cc's

    Hi,

    I am starting with HGH for weight loss. I have 10 IU vials and 1cc syringes. I want to use 5 IU per day but how does that translate to cc's. Can I mix it up in a 10 IU vial, keep on fridge and just use 5 per day?

    thanks from a totally newbie

    Use 1 ml of sterile water or bacteriostatic water and inject it into the vial keeping it diagonally so that the water does not hit directly the powder but the glass of the vial.

    Once all inside, gently start swirling the vial till the powder is reconstituted.

    With a 10 IU vial and 1 ml of water using an insulin syringe of 100 units, simply draw 50 units.
    Though, on your second shot you will draw only about 40 units.

    Ditto what they said. I will add that 5iu's is a high dose to start. You may want to start around 2.5 or 3 iu's and work your way up to 5. The sides may be quite high starting with 5 and actually could impede your use. Carpal tunnel, numbness and lethargy not fun!
