First time pinning BPC-157, feeling a bit lost on reconstitution maths

Posted by fasted_scientist in Beginner Questions - 1 points, 0 comments.

Right so I've finally got my BPC-157 vial and I'm staring at the maths trying not to cock it up. The vial is 5mg and the bacteriostatic water I have is 2ml. From what I've read that should give me 250mcg per 0.1ml on an insulin syringe but I want to double check before I go stabbing myself.

Also ngl the actual pinning part is making me more nervous than the maths. I keep reading about people doing subcutaneous into lower belly fat vs intramuscular into the quad and I'm not sure which is less of a faff for a beginner. Site rotation between doses, do you actually need to be religious about that or is it just a nice to have?

For context I'm 5mg twice a day for a nagging Achilles tendinopathy that's been off and on for months. Already doing the boring physio stuff but wanted to throw something at the inflammation side. Anyone got a sensible walkthrough for a total beginner who's only ever used a syringe for drawing up water?
