All three take the same units for the same dose. A smaller barrel just spreads it over more space.
on a U-100 syringe for a 1 IU dose
Add 1 mL BAC water to your 10 IU vial. Draw to 10.0 units on a U-100 syringe for a 1 IU dose. This vial will last 10 doses.
Copy link saves these numbers in the address. Anyone who opens it sees the same draw.
Never miss a dose — 1 IU daily, draw 10.0 units on U-100 syringe.

HGH (Somatropin) is FDA-approved recombinant growth hormone with clinical trial data spanning 15,809 patients. Rudman's foundational study showed 8.8% lean mass gain and 14.4% fat loss in six months. Pharma-grade pricing remains steep, but anti-aging protocols at 1 to 2 IU daily are the community standard for sleep, skin, and body composition.

Somatropin is dosed in IU, not mcg. One IU equals roughly 0.33 mg. That conversion trips people up initially. If you're using a lyophilized vial (not a pre-filled pen), reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. For a 10 IU vial with 1 mL of BAC water, each 10 units on an insulin syringe equals 1 IU. A 1 IU daily dose means drawing to the 10-unit mark. At 2 IU, draw to 20 units. At 0.5 IU for the ramp-in phase, that's 5 units on the syringe. Pre-filled pens (Norditropin FlexPro, Genotropin GoQuick) skip this math entirely. Dial the dose and inject. Inject on an empty stomach. Carbohydrates blunt GH action. Morning fasted or pre-bed are the two most common timing windows. Splitting the dose (AM plus pre-bed) becomes relevant above 3 IU daily. Store reconstituted vials at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius. Above that temperature, somatropin denatures within days. A vial that sat on your counter overnight may still look fine but test like a counterfeit. IGF-1 labs every three months. That's the number that tells you whether your dose is working and whether it's too high.
