FAQs
How do I inject myself?
- Here’s an instructional video on how to properly do a SQ (subcutaneous) injection.
- Here’s an instructional video on how to properly do an IM (intra-muscular) injection.
How do I reconstitute (mix) the medications?
- Several of our products come as a powder form with another bottle with sterile water. Please read the directions provided in the prescription for exact details. However, generally several MLs of sterile water will be drawn out of the sterile water vial and injected into the powder vial. The powder will dissolve quickly. Gently stir the vial few times to ensure full resolution of powder and wait at least 10 mins prior to injection.
- Most products will be needed to be refrigerated.
What does IM vs SQ injection mean?
- IM: (Intra-Muscular) means you are injecting into the muscle. Pick an area that is highly muscular such as thigh, buttocks, or deltoids (shoulders) to inject. These needles are generally longer to reach into the muscle
- SQ: (subcutaneous) means you are injecting just under the skin, into fat. Find a fatty area or loose skin likely around the stomach region to inject. These needles tend to be smaller.
What do I do with the alcohol swabs?
Before injection, make sure you thoroughly clean the area of the skin that will be injected along with the top of the vial where you are drawing medicine from.
Are there any common side effects of injecting self?
Potentially the site of injecting can become inflamed for the day – a very common side effect. Welts are common. Please be cognizant of moving site injections around not to developing scarring at one location.
I recently had the flu or covid, how can I recover?
- Glutathione and NAD+ have published reports on improving post-viral symptoms. Injected these medications will get you back to your baseline quicker.
- Glutathione also has antioxidative properties to improve your immune system to help prevent catching these viruses.
What are common side effects of NAD+?
Most common side effect is a histamine-like reaction including: lightheadedness, palpitations, flushing, and nausea. This is usually self-limited and will resolve very shortly.
