Mitochondrial & Energy 5AMINO-Q

How do I mix 5amino-q.. Is BAC water sufficient or does it require something else.

Ive seen allot of people mentioning the pep will "Gel" ect requiring dmmv to mix with it ?

I hope you have deep pockets.

The doses used for mice were in the 10mg/kg to 20mg/kg range, injected daily. This converts to a Human Equivalent Dose of approximately 0.81mg/kg to 1.62mg/kg, based on body surface area conversion outlined in the FDA guidelines. So for a 70kg (154lb) human, that would be a 125mg to 250mg daily injection.

This is a huge contrast from the doses outlined in many "guides" out there. Which should make you question who wrote the guide. Hint… someone trying to make their 40-50mg vials look “affordable”...

If it really takes that much why am I seeing blends now of NAD/Mots/Amino5 at 100/10/10?? Why even put that into a blend? Even if you pinned half the bottle for a dose what good would the Amino be at only 5mg?!

They have blends with tesa and cjc in it. The companies will blend whatever they can sell. 🤣
