What does subq mean on this site?

Subq is short for subcutaneous, which means into the fat layer between skin and muscle, using an insulin syringe. That is how sellers and user plans describe taking compounds sold to individuals, and it is what this site's mixing calculator assumes. For most research peptides here, it is not how any published study in people actually gave them. Muscle soaks things up faster than fat, so hitting muscle by mistake can change how a dose acts. This is not a dose or a protocol. 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.
