🧠 Biological Functions & Benefits
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant and essential nutrient with multiple roles:
Antioxidant Activity: Neutralizes free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative damage
Collagen Synthesis: Critical cofactor for proline hydroxylase, supporting wound healing and skin integrity
Immune Support: Enhances neutrophil function and interferon production
Iron Absorption: Facilitates conversion of ferric iron (Fe³⁺) to ferrous iron (Fe²⁺) in the gut
Antioxidant Network: Regenerates vitamin E and glutathione, amplifying cellular defense systems
💊 Clinical & Cosmetic Applications
🏥 Therapeutic Uses
Deficiency Treatment: Scurvy prevention and management
Immune Support: Adjunctive therapy for infections and post-surgical recovery
Antioxidant Therapy: Used in heavy metal poisoning (e.g., arsenic, mercury) and liver disease
Dermatology: Intradermal injections for collagen induction and wound healing
💄 Cosmetic Applications
Skin Rejuvenation: Reduces melanin production (tyrosinase inhibition) and improves texture
Anti-Aging: Stimulates fibroblasts and reduces photoaging signs
Wound Healing: Accelerates epidermal regeneration in acne scars and burns
⚙️ Dosage & Administration
Injection: Typically 0.5-1g daily via intramuscular or intravenous route
Topical: Applied directly to skin as part of mesotherapy or serum formulations
Reconstitution: Lyophilized powder requires sterile water for injection
⚠️ Safety Profile
Adverse Effects: Mild gastrointestinal upset at high doses; rare: oxalate kidney stones
Contraindications: G6PD deficiency (risk of hemolysis); renal impairment
Interactions: May enhance effects of anticoagulants; incompatible with alkaline solutions
Note on “0.5/vial”: The unit depends on application:
0.5mg/vial: Likely for diagnostic control materials (e.g., plasma quality controls)
0.5ml/vial: Common for cosmetic serums or low-dose injections
Confirm with product labeling as concentration varies by manufacturer.
None of our HGH lines are inherently better than the other. Each batch comes with a corresponding test report. Purity and dimer can be a decent proxy for “quality”, you want purity as high as possible and dimer as low as possible. The main factor to consider in our opinion, is the price per IU. Supreme is usually the best bang for buck option. Historically, Supreme & Deluxe have shown lower dimer content, although this may not always be the case, so of course reference the corresponding test reports.
For HGH, we typically recommend 1ml for every ~10 IU in the vial. If a batch tests at an average of 290 IU per kit, that is an average of 29 IU per vial, and we’d recommend 2.9ml of bacteriostatic water. This will make the syringe math similar to a traditional 100 iu kit with 1ml of solution For peptide reconstituion, you can use our amazing Dosage Calculator.
Not necessarily. If you look through all our lab reports, particularly the ones with multiple test reports in a single batch, you will see that the intra-batch variance can actually be quite high. When you purchase a batch, you can expect some of the vials in your kit to be as much as 5-15% +/- whatever the corresponding lab test reflects. This is simply the reality of product that is not made to the same standards as pharmaceutical grade growth hormone. To state otherwise would be disingenous. There can also be a high variance in the dimer content intra-batch. (For Example: Economy B, Deluxe A, etc) Over time, we’ve increased the volume of samples analyzed for each batch, to provide more transparancy regarding the potential for intra-batch variance. If you use the average IU figure provided on each product, your dosage should average out over time, so don’t overthink your administration protocol too much. We know it can be a bit overwhelming with all the different numbers provided. That said, don’t hesitate to reach out if you need specific guidance on dosage or reconstitution.
Yes! We offer store credit for quantitative testing of total IU/Purity (ie Janoshik testing), and for personal IGF-1 test results. Please email for more information. *TERMS APPLY*
