havent had any side effects on it but i am still only on 1 mg. Havent really noticed anything as a result yet from it to be honest. I did try a 2 mg dose one day however and felt slightly more energized, but I cant tell you if that is just placebo. Will keep running it and see and up the dose as well.
Were you doing the 25mg IM or SubQ. I have HVY's 100mg 5A and getting some really bad ISR at 20mg subq
I heard the 100mg/ml are spicy.
25Mg sub Q
Yeah, I get a bump and it's pretty painful to the touch for over a week. Goes in fine though and the ISR doesn't really kick in for about 24hrs.
Did you notice any difference in those last weeks between the ones you combined with NAD, and the ones you took it solo? My understanding is it’s supposed to have a good additive effect with the NAD.
Update how that goes if you can please, I will have some of the HVY on hand by end of summer, haven’t tried the pre-mixed aminos before and would be interested to know how a little extra dilution works with those, if it is same as powdered peps or not lol
As soon as I work up the nerve I will, lol. I also started with the powered amino but only went up to 10mg but no ISR so I thought this might be the same. The color is quite different too as it's very dark FYI.
What was your starting mg on SS-31?
2mg but then read clinical info on brand name SS-31 (Forzinity?). Standard dosing was 10 mg daily. Funny that’s when kits of SA-31 50 mg become widely available.
I wondered it is is a bell curve for effectiveness. I saw it mentioned for body building cuts. It is also referenced for obesity. I am neither body builder at 8% body fat looking to trim whatever I can before a show, I am also not obese and haven’t been for over 2.5 years. The 5-amino intrigued me, I am pretty metabolically healthy, and not lean enough to see the difference I think.
@ftv10hb So I don't think I'm going to give it another go. I still have a welt in my right thigh that been there for going on 3 weeks now. I have talked with some others that have had the same issue. I was even able to have HVY himself chime in on the situation and he does not recommend Subq, only IM so I would definitely try that route when using it. Others were reporting it was fine IM but some were also getting the same welt...
Dang I was definitely planning on SubQ lol, now have to reconsider
So you take or took it while taking Reta?? Personally was wondering how it stacks.
I'm doing currently 5-Amino-1MQ SubQ, while taking reta. I titrated it up to 5mg 2x a day, first in the morning 5-6 am and the second dose I take in the afternoon 1-2pm. According to some other dosing sites, it's quite a high dose. Others say, it's still low.
So far, so good.
I started with 5-Amino subq but I'm surprised there's not more feedback here or elsewhere regarding injection site reactions. First, there's some conflicting info out there on how well it mixes with solutions and some use regular Nacl instead of bac. Some AI will tell you to use dmso as a co-solvent. I asked around STG and other TG forums and it seems many still use bac. I was doing about 5mg per injection subq and honestly I felt great, but the knots (hard, tender lump)/bruising (thighs) from injecting this is unlike any reaction I've had before (it's not like a Tesa/CJC type of reaction; I haven't done Mots-C, but seems a little different from what I've read about those reactions (not histamine related), but can't say firsthand). From other online research, may have something to do with the poor solubility in water (it's technically a small molecule, not a peptide). Anyway, for this reason I just switched to the oral 30mg (from a known vendor) and research shows bioavailability is ~38%, so maybe it's the equivalent of 10-12mg subq. Too early to say how it's going, but I don't feel quite the instant perk up I did from subq. I will report back in a few weeks how I like it, if noticeable.
