The Three Standard Sites
Abdomen, two inches away from the navel. Front or outer thigh. Back of the upper arm. Pinch a fold of skin, insert the short insulin needle at 45 to 90 degrees, push slowly, hold three seconds, withdraw. Rotate sites so no spot is used twice in a row.
Peptide by Peptide
Semaglutide and tirzepatide: abdomen or thigh, same day each week. Sermorelin, tesamorelin, CJC-1295/ipamorelin: abdomen at bedtime. BPC-157 and TB-500: many people inject near the injury (not into it); systemic sites work too. GHK-Cu and epitalon: abdomen. DSIP: abdomen before bed. PT-141: abdomen or thigh about an hour before. NAD+ and glutathione: abdomen or thigh; NAD+ stings, so go slowly. MOTS-c: abdomen or thigh.
Technique That Prevents Problems
Wash hands, swab the site, let the alcohol dry. New needle every time. Keep peptides refrigerated. A small red bump for a day is normal; spreading redness, heat or fever is not, and you should call us.
Let a Nurse Do the First One
Anywhere in New York or New Jersey a Zen IV Spa nurse can come to your home for your first dose and walk you through it. Self-injection training is included with every shipped program.
Common Questions
Can I mix two peptides in one syringe?+
No. Separate injections, usually different times or days, on the provider's schedule.
Does it hurt?+
A pinch. NAD+ stings more than others; slow is the trick.
What if I hit a vein?+
Pull out, press, use a new site. Subcutaneous injections rarely bleed much.
Can I inject in the same spot every time?+
No. Rotate to avoid lumps and poor absorption.
