week one is the most under-discussed thing on this board

Answeredbranch of 6 comments

Something I keep coming back to: week one is the most under-discussed thing on this board. The injection was scarier in my head than in reality.

The vocabulary, once, since half the questions here are really vocabulary questions.

Titration is stepping the dose up slowly for tolerance. Reconstitution is adding water to a freeze-dried powder. Bacteriostatic water contains a preservative; sterile water does not. COA is a certificate of analysis — a lab document about one batch. Area percent is a purity measure from that document, and it is not the amount of peptide in the vial. Units are a volume on an insulin syringe, not a dose.

That is most of the jargon on this site. The wiki has the longer version of each and it is linked in the sidebar.

research-use-only material is not approved for human use, and that belongs in every beginner thread

the first month is a tolerance check, not a results phase

About c/newbiequestions

The deliberately gentle community. Every question that gets an eye-roll elsewhere lives here: what does titration mean, why do I feel nothing in week two, is this normal, what is bac water, what is a COA. Rudeness is removed faster than bad questions.
