Glutathione IM vs SubQ Injections Dosing Pain Management and Effects

I use 25g and they are fine. I use luer lock so I swap to a fresh one for the actual shot and it glides right in. There are tricks like coughing while you pierce or lightly scratching nearby skin to distract yourself. I have also done IM on my partner so maybe practice on someone else first. I believe in you.

It is a custom blend, most people just buy gluth on its own. Taurine, NAD+, and NAC. I looked up the supreme and had no idea what it was.

Yeah I know what it is. You said a kit for that price but it does not contain glutathione. You use it for reconstitution. It is supposed to stabilize the glutathione so it lasts longer, supercharge it, and make the injection smoother too. That is why I have a vial on the way and will buy more if it works as advertised.

Update on this. I diluted it more and it still hurts but is tolerable now with pain only lasting a couple minutes. Four ml bac in 500 mg gluta. Tried both IM and subq and they hurt about the same.

My experience turned out nearly identical. Ended up accumulating a huge stockpile of it as well. 😒

I hope you can move some of it.

I experienced the same reaction from liposomal C until switching to the buttock site. Glutathione went smoothly when placed in the outer leg muscle at that volume and strength, producing just a brief sting that faded fast.

I figured gluth was merely the term they used for it and now I wonder why this got posted inside the discussion of gluth experiences.

From what I experience this turns into the main antioxidant and it fights the free radicals while linking to the toxins so they can leave my body without trouble.

Where did you find GTB supreme? I looked and can only find vitamin c.

You can get it at a few places if you know where to look.

From what I understand subq is for low dose maintenance. I have done IM always. It is spicy. For the vit c I personally did oral, one thousand mg ascorbic in the morning and another five hundred mg in the afternoon starting a week before the glutathione cycle. Korean is known for being the best. Pink is the one I bought.

That specific item appears unavailable right now from the usual source. I've used it before. It feels like my pace is behind most others working with these compounds. Did they skip blending the vitamin c into the glutathione to cut down on site reactions? What's the top spot for an intramuscular shot? The rear? I'll probably need to have my daughter handle it for me rather than my son this time.

I'm curious about the needle gauge others are choosing for this. Should it match the one my partner relies on for intramuscular steroid injections, I think I would faint.

People often choose the buttocks for these injections since those muscles rank as the largest. A clip showed the technique for placing them there. When I tried the glutathione on myself it caused intense burning right away. I only managed a small fraction before stopping due to the sudden shock-like pain. That level of discomfort surprised me so now I'm unsure whether to repeat the attempt. I mixed in some sterile water and targeted the upper area of the muscle but the burning stayed strong. Mentions of thinner needles start at twenty seven gauge and I plan to use that size or twenty five once mine arrives since the clip featured a thicker one and I don't feel brave enough for it.

That label abbreviation shows it's for shots and maybe brands mark things differently.

25g one inch. I spent a lot of time watching videos before I finally felt confident enough.

Maybe I'll deal with the twenty seven gauge after all, though getting another person to handle the actual shot could be necessary.

Glad to hear that! Muscle shots become simpler with practice for me. The side hip area hurts the least in my experience, then the upper butt. Thigh spots aren't something I enjoy for these shots.

Cheers 😊 I'm now thinking about picking another area for my following try. I reckon I landed on the front section of my upper leg instead of the outer part, sorry for the basic description 😂 It's still hurting badly after more than an hour, ice or not. My butt area lacks size currently so that pushes me toward beginning some leg workouts!

At the start I experienced some discomfort lasting around ten to fifteen minutes each time. After trying it out I noticed staying seated without moving for five minutes following the shot stopped any later discomfort. The ventrogluteal spot remains my preferred choice for this even though caution leads me to use each location just weekly at most. Congrats on finishing the toughest part! 😊

From what I can tell the outer part of the leg's vl area carries lower risk and feels simpler than the rear, since the rear requires watching out for that major nerve running through it.

That lines up with what a nurse practitioner friend once told me.

Curious how much volume you are injecting each time.

The person who first showed it to me was reconstituting with ascorbic acid. The taurine part still has me curious though.

Went with 200 mg IM last night. Earlier subQ attempts were 100 mg. Reconstituted a 600 mg vial using 3 ml of bac water. Might try the pink version next time instead.

There is an RN video on YouTube where he walks through an IM shot on himself while explaining each step. The part that stuck with me is sitting down, pulling the skin tight with one hand, and coughing as you dart the needle into the top of the thigh with the other. Comments said it worked well for them too. I do not have the link anymore but that was the main tip.

I mix mine fifty-fifty with vitamin C and do it subQ. I get both from the same place that also sells an injectable vitamin blend.

That is exactly the video I watched before pinning last night. Someone here shared the link. The American doctor doing testosterone shots recommended stretching the skin, coughing, and jabbing like a dart. The actual insertion was not too bad, it was the pain afterward that got me. I have a lot of the regular glutathione on hand and wonder if that is causing the issue. Planning to switch to the pink version next week since most seem to prefer it.

Thanks, that is the place I have been looking at. How bad is the sting with the subQ mix? I tried a premade glutathione, vitamin C, and zinc blend once and ended up with two huge hard lumps in my stomach for months. Never buying premade blends again after that.

Good to know anyway. If the IM shots keep hurting too much I will go back to subQ. At least I know I can handle IM now.

I was not doing IM but found the same video when getting ready to inject testosterone for the first time. As a woman my dose is low so subQ works, but the larger needle made me nervous at first. Watching it made the IM idea seem less scary and also helped me stop worrying about tiny bubbles I cannot always get out.

The pink version can still sting. I noticed it went better when I hit the vastus lateralis exactly right while seated with my foot flat and the muscle relaxed. Rubbing the spot afterward helped too.

I only get a slight burn and a small bump that usually fades within the hour. I usually do 100 mg per day.

I did it sitting on the floor with both legs straight out. Might try the seated position next time. How much lingering sting do your IM shots usually leave?

I tried 1 ml of the 600 mg strength a few times. When I missed the spot it felt like a charlie horse, but when the muscle was relaxed and the needle went in cleanly I could rub it for a minute and be fine afterward.

I got a hormone injection kit that included luer lock syringes, 21 gauge one inch needles for drawing, and 25 gauge one inch needles for injecting. The syringes only hold 1 ml but larger ones are available. The luer lock design is great for thicker liquids.

So no more tiny needles then.
