Decisions, decisions.

Saw a video about that recently. Someone mentioned larger vials than the usual 10 mg size but they cost more, so a kit seems better.

After twenty-five straight days at 4 mg of SS-31 I moved to mots-c. Five milligram doses Monday Wednesday Friday for four weeks, using two milliliters of bac per 10 mg vial so one hundred units delivers the five milligrams. After those four weeks switched to a single 10 mg dose once a week, reconstituting with one milliliter of bac.

That seems like a lot of liquid to inject. Does the larger volume help or is it required?

Nothing much to report from the mots-c. The twenty-five days of SS-31 at 4 mg seemed to raise my energy level and that improvement is still there. Hoped the mots-c would restart weight loss progress but it has not. Probably will stop the mots-c once this kit is finished.

That is disappointing. I had heard good reports about it.

Always read that SS-31 is meant as a one-time cycle that you might repeat six months later. You are right that it works out to twenty-five days at 4 mg daily, using one 10 mg vial kit. Like most things here, whether it is worth it comes down to personal judgment.

One and done makes it easier to consider. Epithalon is also a twice-yearly type of protocol. Curious if fasting during or right after would help with autophagy.

Tried both with and without the SS-31 step and noticed nothing either way.

Meh fits the mots-c results for me. Still plan to repeat the SS-31 portion in a few months because that part did give an energy boost.

Thanks for the info. Will skip both going forward.

Everyone responds differently. Do not let my results put you off.

Thanks. Just wondering where you usually inject. This vial had the filter fail and I only have one left so skipped re-filtering. Might do it now though.

Yes I get a reaction too. Just a red itchy area but it hangs around for a few days.

Most people seem to feel at least some discomfort. Running 5 mg three times a week myself and get mild discomfort sometimes but not every time.

Could you add a little extra bac water to the syringe to dilute it more?

Thanks. Was worried something was off with my batch so this helps.

Good suggestion. Saw very different amounts recommended for bac water. Went with half a milliliter but might try adding more next time before drawing.

I suppose that could work. I do something similar with my GHK-CU.

Tangential question about GHK-cu. After reading around I have been adding fifty to sixty units of bac water to the syringe then the 5 mg of GHK-cu. Dropped to thirty units one day and got the bruising and soreness people mention. When drawing the reconstituted GHK-cu that has been sitting in the fridge almost a week it sometimes pulls a blue-purple blob that does not mix well. A flick or shake usually disperses it but today it stayed separate like a tiny lava lamp. Still got soreness even after adding extra bac water. Is the blob thing normal? Should ascorbic acid be added to the vial? Any tips appreciated.

The AI output claims the compound inside my container has started deteriorating so I shouldn't inject it. What a hassle.

Shake the vial to dissolve the GHK. You will not hurt it. These peptides are not that fragile.

Really appreciate that. Are you sure? A couple AI models said the congealing blobs mean the peptide is damaged and I should not inject it. Want your answer to be right. Just do not want to cause myself problems. Are we allowed to say that word here? Thanks either way.

Bro

AI just repeats what other people are saying. Am I sure? Yes. You are absolutely not going to cause yourself problems by shaking it. Pinky promise.

Maybe worth remembering you are about to inject something that came from overseas from people you do not know. No guarantee it will not cause issues. You could have a big allergic reaction. Try a tiny amount first. Shaking is the least of the worries. People who run testing labs all day have said shaking does not affect anything.

It was the plan from the start. Trials used much higher doses. Aiming for mitochondrial repair and wanted to go as high as possible while keeping a reasonable number of doses. Settled on 18 mg because it is half a vial. Considered 36 mg but the cost per dose made me pause. Will do five vials at 18 mg EOD for ten doses then drop to 4.5 mg daily for the last three vials. Will start mots-c after finishing the ten higher doses. All dosing in the morning. Noticed a lot of energy even at the lower amounts, though it might be coincidence.

At first everything seemed fine with that particular container for a short while. Then after seeing those comments I tried another shot from it. The solution blended quickly with a couple of techniques yet right where the needle went in there was intense itching and swelling. It felt nothing like the usual discomfort those shots sometimes cause. This seemed like a clear problem reaction. I still have in the provider for solid reasons and I'm not trying to argue the point here. Looking back I remembered a couple of incidents that could have spoiled the material or allowed contaminants in. Going into those would drag on too long. In short I mixed a fresh one from the remaining supply and had no trouble at all. The first container started okay but spoiled later due to my own errors. Definitely picked up some insights from the experience.

Useful.

Sure. Thanks for the reminder. This is not new though. The risk was already taken since I had been injecting without issue over a dozen times until a couple days ago. Sorted out what happened. Vial was damaged or contaminated or both, through mistakes I made. Started a new vial from the same kit and avoided the same errors. No issues now.

Thank you for this link!
