STEROID Q & A - IGF-1

STEROID Q&A #1

Q: Okay, I'm fairly new to IGF-1 and wanted to know three things: Is it okay to use bacteriostatic water with

IGF-1 reconstitution, or is something else better? Also, I want to make my own bacteriostatic water and wanted to know if I could just do it by using distilled water and 1% BA, filtered through a .22 micron watmans unit, will this work? And finally, once the IGF-1 is reconstituted I was thinking about injecting it into the muscle I'm about to work, is this okay?

A: Hmmm... lots going on in that head of yours! We can see that you're a primo thinker, dude, but thinking is only as good as the end result it produces, and while some of your thinking is on the right track, the things you're focusing on don't matter as much as some other things. First off, making your own bacteriostatic water? You can, and that sounds right, but why would you want to? It's only ten bucks! What is the cost of the equipment you're obviously packing in your hall closet? And more importantly, what COULD you be storing in there that could do you more good? (hint: GEAR!) Next thing to address: The bacteriostatic water is a moot issue in this case because it is not the best choice for reconstituting IGF-1.

In fact, most people use Acetic acid with bacteriostatic water for IGF-1 reconstitution. As for site injecting, we think it's worth a try. Remember though that depending upon how good you are at injecting, you may or may not have a diminished capacity during your workouts as a result of soreness, abscess, etc.. Is it worth it to you? I mean, we all think of these elaborate ways in which to gain an edge or do something better, when in fact, the best way may be the original way. Focus more on training, stockpiling gear and eating well on a regular basis, and all of these other "edgy" things won't be necessary, we think.
