Discussion: Southern Aminos
-
Is anyone else having issues with Southern Aminos' website? I had an order that I put into my cart the other day but had to step away so I was unable to checkout. I've been trying to get back onto their website for the last 3 days and it appears that it is down. Just curious if anyone else is having the same issue?

@meranaam Most vials are 3ml vials. If that's the case here, you could not put 20ml of bac water physically into the originating vial. The better question is: what makes 20 ml seem like a desirable amount of bac water to add? That would make your reta have a concentration of 500 mcg per mL. While 500 mcg is a perfectly reasonable starting dose (by mass) for reta, you'd have to inject 1 mL of solution to get that. 1 mL of solution for most people (certainly for me) is a lot of fluid to inject subcutaneously. That's 100 units on most injection pens or insulin needles.
When I was dosing 500 mcg (0.5 mg) of reta from a 10mg vial, I chose to dilute it with 2 mL of bac water so that its concentration was 5 mg/mL or 0.5 mg per 10 units. 10 units is a nice comfortable amount of fluid (for me, and most folks) to inject subq. It also means if you decide later to go up to 1 mg its just a jump to 20 units (again: still comfortable) rather than 2 mL (which I can't even fathom trying to inject subq). Does that help?
As a general rule, I strongly strongly strongly recommend getting your head well wrapped around dilution and dosing strategies before trying to use peptides. Particularly with reta. Screwing up and dosing 10x what you intended by mistake can make you quite ill. I attempted to write a good intro on how to think about these things here. Hope that helps.

@PeptideEd Yes You're right. I asked AI after this, I don't know why I was confusing 20mls with 2ml. I meant to type 2MLs.....lol.
Yes, I will dilute my vial with 2mls.

@meranaam be very cautious with AI doing math for you... LLMs are really really bad at it generally (though some actually will write python code these days to do the math for them). As noted in the reference posts above, @randy provides a very nice calculator on the site, recommend it highly. But at the end of the day its incredibly useful to wrap your head around the computations enough to get a sense of things so when you make a mistake, it just looks wrong and you go back to check

I'm brand new to peps and I ordered a 100mg vial of GHK and stupidly forgot to add hospira to cart. so had to pay shipping twice....but they ended up doubling my order for some reason to 2 vials of ghk and 2 hospira. I did not pay for the extra. Not sure if it was a mistake but i sure appreciated it.

@cjbuckshot Welcome! Congrats on the GHKCU! Its a great choice. @randy has a great video on diluting GHKCU so it doesn't sting. Highly recommend.
