Understanding your insulin syringe
Measuring your dose
Insulin syringes are used for subcutaneous injections. They are marked in Units on the insulin syringe barrel (see illustration). Insulin syringes facilitate the precise measurement of tiny amounts of liquids which are ideal for medications such as insulin that require small and accurate dosing. Unit marks are also expressed in mL’s and can be interchangeably referenced. A prescriber may write a prescription in Units or in mL’s.
Within the amount of liquid is the prescribed mg dosage of your medication (see mg chart). Milligrams (mg) is not an amount of liquid, but rather the amount of drug that is within. The conversion between units and milligrams varies depending on the concentration of the product being used.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I take Oral Sermorelin?
Oral Sermorelin is a medicated 1,000mcg lozenge (called a troche) that dissolves slowly between the cheek and gum or under the tongue, typically over 15–30 minutes and typically recommended 5 times per week at night. The medication in a troche is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the rich network of blood vessels in the oral mucosa.

Most users begin to notice improvements in sleep quality and recovery within the first 4–6 weeks. Changes in body composition, such as increased lean muscle and reduced fat mass, typically become more noticeable after 3–6 months of consistent use, combined with exercise and a healthy diet.
What’s the best way to maximize results with Sermorelin?
To get the most out of Sermorelin: Strength train 2–4 times per week, follow a balanced, protein-rich diet, prioritize 7–9 hours of quality sleep nightly, and stay well-hydrated. Managing stress levels can also help maximize recovery and metabolic benefits.
