Reconstitution, storage, injection technique and protocol design. Written plainly, for people who are already doing this and want to do it more carefully.
Repeatedly injecting the same spot causes lipohypertrophy, and lumpy tissue absorbs unpredictably. What the insulin literature established, how far it transfers to peptides, and a rotation scheme you can actually keep.
Two calculators, the same vial, different answers. The arithmetic is never the problem — it is the syringe scale, the unit assumptions and what "volume" is being asked for. How to find which one is wrong.
CJC-1295 with and without DAC are two different compounds sharing one name — one persists for days, the other is short-acting, and they are dosed ten times apart. How to tell which one a protocol means, with worked reconstitutions for both.
Worked examples through 2 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg TB-500 vials — and why a peptide dosed in milligrams is the easiest place in this space to make a thousand-fold error.
A worked example through a 5 mg and a 10 mg BPC-157 vial — concentration, draw volume, doses per vial — plus an honest account of what the evidence does and does not show.
Lyophilised powder and peptide in solution have completely different storage requirements. What degrades them, and the handling errors that cost the most potency.
There is no correct diluent volume — only trade-offs. How to pick one by working backwards from the dose you want to be able to measure.
Why "units" are a volume and not a dose, what U-100 means, how 0.3/0.5/1.0 mL syringes differ, and the mistake that causes ten-fold errors.
What reconstitution actually is, the two-step arithmetic behind every draw, and how to verify the number you got before you trust it.
