Peptide Critic Community

Hello, I’m very new to all this research and I’m trying to come up with a game plan.

One point of confusion for me is when I go to the supplier sites. As a new researcher I’d probably start at 0.5mg. Lowest I’ve seen on the few sites I’ve checked is 6mg.

Using the calc I see for a .5mg dose, 6mg vial, 1ml BAC, it comes out to 8 units.

I’m assuming 8 units isn’t the entire vial. So when I draw out 8 units to get a .5mg dose, do I save the rest of the peptide in a fridge for the next dose or is that unsanitary/unsafe and I need to get a whole new vial?

If you do save it, how long is it good for?

Thanks

Hello,
I’m getting ready to start my first cycle and have been looking into what others are running. Seeing other’s starting numbers has me curious if there is a general community consensus. I was originally planning to start at 0.5 mg, but now I’m considering bumping that up to 1 mg.

I also have a few questions regarding the long-term: I read that the standard recommendation is to increase the dosage every 4 weeks to give the body time to adjust. At what point do you typically stop increasing the dose, and what is the absolute maximum safe limit?

Another thing that came to mind is what should I do if the appetite suppression doesn't kick in? If I'm not seeing results after the initial 4-week window, is it better to increase the dosage or pivot to a different peptide entirely?

Thanks!
