The HCG Diet has been around for more than 70 years and is a tried-and-true strategy for losing weight faster. But if you are new to this diet, you may wonder how to mix bacteriostatic water with HCG.
In this guide, we give you a simple five-step process to start mixing HCG injections yourself. Read on for our top tips.
Step 1. Prepare Your Tools
Before you start mixing, gather the ingredients you will need. Lay out the following tools and ingredients on a clean, dry paper towel:
- HCG
- Bacteriostatic water
- Mixing syringes and needles
- Sterile vials with caps
- Alcohol pads
You can find all of the tools you need to mix your HCG injections at HCG Supplies. We have bacteriostatic water, but you will have to purchase your HCG separately from another company.
Step 2. Determine the HCG Dose
Always talk to a medical professional to determine the right HCG dose for you. Dosing recommendations range from 125 IU to 200 IU per day. The right dose for you depends on many different factors.
HCG is sold in ampoules. Ampoules range in dosages from 1,500 IUs to 10,000 IUs. The size you purchase and the daily dose you need will determine how much bacteriostatic water you need to add when mixing.
Step 3. Sterilize Your Supplies
Wash your hands before sterilizing your HCG mixing supplies. Once you have dried your hands with a clean paper towel, use the alcohol wipes to clean the top of the HCG container, the bacteriostatic water cap, and the empty vial cap.
Step 4. Determine the Strength
Before you start mixing, you need to determine how much bacteriostatic water you need based on your desired daily dose. Let’s say you have 2,000 IU ampoules of HCG and want a 125 IU daily dose. In that case, you will need to use 8 cc of bacteriostatic water to create your injections of 0.5 cc per day.
For a full breakdown of injection strengths based on ampoule size and desired daily dose, check out our complete HCG mixing instructions guide.
Step 5. Mix the Ingredients
Now, it’s time to start mixing! First, open the ampoule. Inject one cc of bacteriostatic water into the ampoule, swirling gently to dissolve the HCG tablet at the bottom of the vial.
Next, you will add plain bacteriostatic water to the empty vial. The amount you should inject into the empty vial depends on the strength you determined in step 4. Using our previous example, if you need 8 cc total of bacteriostatic water, you will inject 7 cc into the empty vial.
Use the syringe to draw out the bacteriostatic water and HCG mixture. Add the mixture to the vial containing the plain bacteriostatic water and swirl gently to mix.
