TA1 injection site redness – what’s normal and when to worry

I started trying TA1 a few weeks ago after reading about its immune support role, mostly because I’ve been feeling run down after back‑to‑back CrossFit cycles. 6 mg twice a week subQ in my abdomen. The first couple of shots gave me a small red spot that faded in a day, which I brushed off as normal irritation.

Last week though the redness stayed a bit longer and felt warm to the touch, and I noticed a low‑grade headache and mild fatigue the next morning. I wondered if that’s just the transient flu‑like symptom listed in the description or if I’m reacting to something else. I’ve kept the injection sites clean, rotated spots, and used a fresh needle each time.

For me it seems like the discomfort is tied to the dose timing – when I space the shots farther apart the reaction is milder. I’m planning to get a basic blood panel soon just to check liver and lipids, though TA1 isn’t known to stress those.
