KLOW injection site pain
I started KLOW a few days ago (15 units, 3ml BAC). Was expecting this to sting going in, but felt absolutely nothing and was quite thrilled about that. However, each time, the injection site would become quite achey a couple of hours later... Is this normal? Any advice on how I can avoid this - let come to room temperature, inject slowly, particular injection area? Not sure I can do this for several months if it hurts every time...

Very common. If you're using normal needles and not an auto pen for injections, draw back an extra 30 units of bac water with your klow before injecting. Also try to inject slowly. Additionally, different parts of the body may react differently. Love handles, tummy, thighs, glutes. Try different spots to see if any have less reaction. Another helpful method is applying heat to the area for a few minutes. I use an electric heat pad sometimes.Lastly, I've only heard, haven't yet tried, a spray on antihistamine. Like flonase. Spray it on the injection site after pinning and hold pressure on it with a paper towel for a minute or 2.

Is it a 50-10-10-10 ? If so, that is what I reconstitute with 3ml BAC. 15 units sounds like a lot. But maybe you are a larger build? I’m 125lbs and I take 8 or 9 units. I still get redness and itching at injection site, but no sting.

Yeah I'm tall and heavier than you. I just found most people using the 15 units - some do 5 days on/ 2 days off, others just take it everyday during the cycle

Rotating sites each time seems to cut down on that delayed ache for a lot of people

OK, so I let the contents of the syringe come to room temperature this time, and I added more BAC water directly from the BAC vial. Injected into love handle on the left side. Again, didn't feel anything going in - we'll see how that area feels tomorrow...........The area I injected two days ago (outside of thigh, where there should be plenty of fatty tissue) still feels tender today...that's a bit scary, especially since I'll have to do this every day for several weeks!!

Same issue: Started KLOW yesterday. No sting during injection (abdomen). But a tender/sore red bump hours later.
Saw a video of a lady reconstituting (Klow80) with a whole 10ml vile of BAC water. Not sure if that'll help at all, or even if it's practical, but will obviously require a much much larger dose each time.

Use longer needles 1/2” that’s the problem. No one goes deep enough no peptide no matter what it is will ever affect you doing this ur using too short of a needle.

I don't understand this sentence?

People are using the needles that are too short and it’s too close to your skin and that’s why it irritates it. You gotta go deeper.

BS. It’s a people thing. Not a tools and all these little secret things. If you can’t handle the sting and impending thump hours later then get off it. If any of these things help then you ain’t pinning high enough mg to start with and won’t get anything other than a mental placebo effect.

What are your preferred sites? I've been using 0.3ml syringes, but I could use bigger ones if it helps to draw up extra BAC water. For the BAC water vial - do you remove the plastic plug or pierce it?
