What did you pin intramuscularly today?

Summary

What peptides or compounds are people injecting IM versus SQ and what site reactions or preferences do they report?

Forum users describe their daily or twice-weekly injections of NAD+, glutathione, GHK-Cu, BPC-157, TB, and Cerebrolysin. Several note hard lumps or soreness after IM use in glutes or delts, prompting switches to SQ or split dosing. Site choices vary between glutes, delts, arms, and legs, often driven by personal concerns about nerves or vessels or by attempts to treat shoulder problems and arthritis.

I injected 0.5 ml of Nad+ into the v glute along with 0.2 ml of glutatholine in my glute. Later tonight I plan to put 0.3 ml of Klow80 into my left delt, the shoulder that has been bothering me.

Have you tried ghk-cu by IM route? I give it subq in the glutes every day but it leaves hard spots inside the glute. For the shoulder you might try bpc by itself in higher amounts like several mg directly in that spot, as it has helped my arthritis more than the bpc/tb mix and costs less in my view. Hoping to receive my bs monitor soon, the same model you have.

I have also tried IM with Cerebrolysin and NAD+ and found the muscle developed a hard section about the size of a golf ball that felt sore like a light bruise. Others suggested heating the area with hot water first until the skin turns red, which improved things but was a hassle. I returned to SQ for both. With Cerebrolysin some protocols recommend splitting the dose in two spots, for example filling to 100 units and putting 50 in each location, and that worked well for me.

Gluta is the only one I have injected IM into my rear. All the others, including Nad, I do SQ.

Twice each week I inject 300mg gluta into myself. Steering clear of the glute area comes from my fear of striking a nerve or vessel by accident. That leads me to choose the upper arms and legs for the shots instead.
