What angle do you inject peptides?

The usual angle in patient guides for a shot under the skin is 90 degrees, straight in. A 45 degree angle is the other choice when the fat layer is thin. Those two angles are about staying in the fat. They are not a ranking of compounds and not a dose. A shot into muscle is a different, deeper shot with its own landmarks, and it is not what this site's calculator assumes. Full walkthrough at /injecting.

Full injecting guide: sites, needles, rotation, safety

Educational use only. This database summarizes published research and is not medical advice. Where a dose appears it is a record of what a trial or clinic ran, or what people describe doing, with its source attached. Nothing here is a recommendation for personal use.

Part of injecting: sites, needles and safety. Subcutaneous vs intramuscular, site rotation, lipohypertrophy, needle length and gauge, vial hygiene at injection time, travel syringes, scar tissue, and when to stop and see a clinician. Full walkthrough at /injecting.
