iu's

[lougizzle]

can someonebreak down an iu as opposed to mgs? Are the pins diff with hcg?

[WetWorks]

you use slin pins for peptides.


Converting between IU and mg/mcg (Convert IU to mcg/mg, convert mg/mcg to IU, Internationl Unit converter) --e-Tools Age

IU is a measure typically of insulin. I believe it stands for international units. With HCG ppl use 29 or 30 guage, very small, no pain. they come in 50cc (1/2ml) and 100 cc syringe. 100cc = 1ml.

This tool didn't work for me, but amazing link. Is it an issue w/my browser?

I have issues also. I did't test it before I posted it. sorry

I believe the insulin pins are measured in units when it comes to the ticks. 1cc=1ml and the pin will say if it's 1cc or 1/2cc right on the barrel. For example 1cc on the barrel and then there is marking from 1 to 100 which are the units. Not to be confused with iu.

Not exactly sure what you're trying to understand about iu vs mgs but 1mg = 3iu. If I'm not mistaken the iu was the given amount of hcg which caused lab rats to become precocious. This was how the measurement was established. If I remember correctly I read this in the Dr Simeons Manuscript, Pounds and Inches.

Not sure what you mean by, "Are the pins diff w/hcg?"

You must get the correct amount of iu's in the proper amount of bac water. Is this what you are asking how to do? Or maybe I missed the whole point, in which case, nevermind..lol

Thats incorrect....x mg=x iu depending on how it is mixed..there is no set amount of ius in any other measurement

Check any mathematical resource that converts mg to ius mista supaman andu will find that 1mg = 3iiu. I don't give a fuck what volume of fluid we are talking about. In other words if you have 1mg/1cc then we have 3 iu

Chal, easy on the name calling please. Debate is healthy but not much room for fighting here. We all get a little "testy" occasionally but we all have to respect that we're here to build.

Btw, this is what I found @ University oh North Carolina's medical glossary:

"International Unit (IU)
a unit used to measure the activity (that is, the effect) of many vitamins and drugs. For each substance to which this unit applies, there is an international agreement specifying the biological effect expected with a dose of 1 IU. Other quantities of the substance are then expressed as multiples of this standard. Examples: 1 IU represents 45.5 micrograms of a standard preparation of insulin or 0.6 microgram of a standard preparation of penicillin. Consumers most often see IU's on the labels of vitamin packages: in standard preparations the equivalent of 1 IU is 0.3 microgram (0.0003 mg) for vitamin A, 50 micrograms (0.05 mg) for vitamin C, 25 nanograms (0.000 025 mg) for vitamin D, and 2/3 milligram for (natural) vitamin E. Please note: for many substances there is no definite conversion between international units and mass units (such as milligrams). This is because preparations of those substances vary in activity, so that the effect per milligram of one preparation is different from that of another."

No probs CD. Anything for you buddy! I get pissed tho at ppl who distort info especially on dosing and volume/measurements. These are important for ppl to get right. Sometimes I see people get a little confused and I always try to give the most simple explanation to try to help a brother out. When I said 1mg = 3 iu and was told that it was wrong. I got fukim pissed off. Anybody who has gotten GH from here Pharms here in the states know that a 5mg vial of Tevtropin (for instance) is 15 ius of GH. Frankly I feel like I'm kissing the ass of ignorance right now....but since you're such an awesome bro Cookie I'll let that one roll off my back.

Another thing is I aint seen a decent wave in a week or so and Chal is riding the cotton pony lmao! It's all good tho.

Well I see what you are saying about vitamin A,D etc...but the original ? was about iu/mg and hcg. I would consider hcg and GH iu measurements to be identical... hcg already comes measured in ius. Sometimes so does GH. Especially when it comes from China. But anyway here is a link that backs up my statement of 1mg = 3iu . . .

hgh,somatropin,bodybuilding,muscle

Good reply Chal, this is the appropriate Wtg. U addressed the original question and provided a source to back it up.

Yeah brother! Now you got me diggin deeper into this realm of the "iu" and appparently it's a bit different than I thought. I thought an iu was an iu no matter what. The fact stands that 1mg = 3iu when it comes to GH but once we start getting into other things like vitamins it seems that the value of an iu changes acccording to the weight needed of a particular substance, i.e. vitamin D, to produce a certain effect. Personally I don't like this way of doing things....like that really fukin matters lmao!.... When they developed the System Internationale it was intended to be completely interchangeable with the gram the cc the ml etc. I don't know wtf happened w/ the iu????? It don't seeem to jive w/ the rest o da sys. I just read an arty saying hospitals leave the "i" out of the equation and just speak in terms of units so they don't make a mistake on the dose given. Like I said in my earlier post quoting Dr Simeons manuscript that an iu of hcg was the amount that made lab rats become precocious. I guess they just need to come up with some number that does something to someone or some animal and use that as a reference...????

[cookiedough]

This illustrates how crucial it is 2 b accurate w doses. Gh gets confusing for guys bc sometimes it comes in 8 iu vials and sometimes in 10 iu vials. Bottom line: watch the doses for EVERYTHING.

Good 1 Chal. The highest/best rePly IMO.

Yeah ya gotta be careful for sure! I think they should simplify the whole thing and do away with the iu and just use the mg regardless of how ridiculously small the number might be. So what if its .0003mg! It's still a quantitative value and I believe ppl will be able to manipulate their dose/volume much easier and understandably using the millligram. ....

Nah fuck it let's leave it like it is. It's more fun to argue lmao!

[superman37]

LOL Chal I didn't mean to piss you off bro I was just trying to provide valid info of IU being a measurement of effectivness and not volume...I think I saw an appology in there somewhere bro So don't hulk out on me in the forum...PM me and tell me to F off

LOl. No hard feelings bro. Sorry for the flame. I do have my moments as anyone who knows me knows. Good thing about all that was I def came out with a better understanding of what an iu is. I thought it was all the same as GH. Seems that's not the case. My mistake. Thanks for the post up brother.
