What subcutaneous (SubQ) injection means Subcutaneous = under the skin, into fat layer: Not into muscle (that's intramuscular) Not into vein (that's intravenous) Into fatty tissue between skin and muscle Slower absorption than IM, but adequate for BPC-157 Why SubQ for BPC-157: Easy to self-administer Less painful than IM Works well for systemic healing Can inject near injury sites Injection sites for SubQ Best locations: Abdomen (2 inches away from belly button) Thighs (front and outer sides) Upper arms (back of arm, need help or flexibility) Love handles/flanks Near injury: Can inject within 2-3 inches of injury Example: Shoulder injury = inject into shoulder area fat Knee injury = inject into thigh near knee Local injection may speed healing to that area Rotate sites: Don't inject same spot repeatedly Prevents tissue damage and scar tissue Rotate between abdomen, thighs, arms Different spot each injection SubQ injection step-by-step Step 1: Gather supplies Reconstituted BPC-157 (refrigerated) Insulin syringe (29-31 gauge, 1/2 inch needle) Alcohol wipes Sharps container for disposal Step 2: Prepare dose Remove BPC-157 from fridge Wipe vial top with alcohol Draw calculated dose (e.g., 25 units = 250mcg if using 2mg/ml concentration) Remove air bubbles Recap needle Step 3: Prepare injection site Choose injection area Clean with alcohol wipe Let dry (30 seconds) Step 4: Inject Pinch skin to create fold (makes it easier) Insert needle at 45-90 degree angle into pinched skin Insert fully (it's a short needle) Slowly inject (take 3-5 seconds) Remove needle quickly Step 5: After injection Apply gentle pressure with alcohol wipe if bleeding (rare) Don't massage injection site Return BPC-157 vial to refrigerator immediately Dispose of needle in sharps container Pain level: Minimal
