Staying safe
Things people sometimes notice
- A warm flush and tingling for a few minutes after the shot
- A small red bump where you inject
- Mild hunger about an hour after dosing
- Heavier sleep with more dreams, and a groggy first few mornings
- A little water in the first two weeks at 300 mcg
Stop and get help if (trouble breathing or swelling: call 911)
- Numb or tingling hands that do not clear by midday
- Joint pain or ankle swelling that keeps building rather than fading
- Hives, swelling of the face or lips, or trouble breathing
- Fasting blood sugar climbing on a home meter
Talk to your doctor first, especially if
- You have cancer now or have had it. These peptides push growth and repair signals, so this is a hard stop, not a judgment call.
- You have diabetes or prediabetes; growth hormone lowers insulin sensitivity
- You take thyroid medicine; growth hormone can shift thyroid labs and your dose may need checking
- You are pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive
Mixing it
Here is the math for a 5 mg vial mixed with 1 ml of bacteriostatic water, taking a 200 mcg dose.
Bring the vial to room temperature and clean the top.
Add 1 ml of bacteriostatic water slowly.
Swirl gently, do not shake.
Take it at night on an empty stomach.
Store in the fridge. Use within about 3 to 4 weeks once mixed.
