Amino Acid Reference Library

Education Hub

Comprehensive research profiles for each amino acid protocol — including mechanisms, clinical research, dosing protocols, reconstitution guides, and syringe calculations. For educational and research purposes only.

Reconstitution Quick-Ref:• Always use Bacteriostatic Water (BAC water), not sterile water, for multi-dose vials• Inject BAC water slowly down the glass wall of the vial — never directly onto the powder• Swirl gently — never shake vigorously• U-100 insulin syringe = 100 units per mL• Store all reconstituted amino acids at 2–8°C (refrigerated)

U-100 Insulin Syringe Reference Guide

Standard 1 mL insulin syringes use U-100 markings (100 units = 1 mL). Use this table to calculate your dose.

Concentration100 mcg200 mcg250 mcg500 mcg1 mg2 mg

How to read: Find your vial's concentration in the left column. Read across to the column for your desired dose. The number shown = how many units to draw on your U-100 syringe. Example: 1,000 mcg/mL vial, 250 mcg dose = draw to the 25-unit mark.

Injection Sites (SubQ)

All amino acids listed use subcutaneous (SubQ) injection — into the fat layer just beneath the skin, not into muscle (IM).

  • 1. Abdomen: 2–3 inches from navel, pinch skin, inject at 45° angle
  • 2. Thigh: Outer upper thigh, midway between hip and knee
  • 3. Upper arm: Outer aspect, deltoid fat pad
  • 4. Rotation: Always rotate sites — do not inject the same spot consecutively

Injection Best Practices

  • • Use a new needle for every injection — never reuse
  • • Wipe injection site with alcohol swab, allow to fully dry before injecting
  • • Pinch a fold of skin, insert needle bevel-up at 45–90°
  • • Depress plunger slowly and steadily
  • • Hold in place 5–10 seconds, then withdraw at same angle
  • • Do NOT rub — apply light pressure with gauze if needed
  • • Dispose of used needles in a sharps container
