hcg doses

moose · Dec 3, 2002

when taking hcg in small doses like 500iu per day, what's the best way to measure it out?? It's not the mathematical part I don't understand, but it seems that it would be hard to measure out 1/10 of a ml in a normal syringe. (assuming 5000iu per ml). Any ideas??

Buy a 10ml sterile vial and some bacteriostatic water (or make some - it's very simple). Put your 1ml of hcg in the vial then add 9ml of bacteriosatatic water. Result is 1ml = 500iu.

Forgot this -

Make sure you keep it in the refridgerator.

easy

Just use a slin pin.So easy and you will be exact.1cc equals 100units on the pin.Soooo with your 5000 iu in 1 cc of water
it would be 500IU every 10 units.

once the hcg is mixed how long will it last in the fridge?

I posed this question over at Animal's Forum. He said that it should be good (active) for 4 weeks. I kept it for 5 weeks and it seemed to be OK - but wouldn't go any longer.

Just remember, if you add water - make sure it's bacteriostatic water, not just sterile water. YOU NEED THE BA to prevent water-borne bacteria, esp when storing it for any amount of time!
