  • Subcutaneous (abdominal)
  • 250–500mcg daily
  • 45° angle, fat layer only
  • 4–6 hours to peak plasma
  • Standard protocol. Most consistent absorption, minimal discomfort, allows site rotation
  • Subcutaneous (thigh)
  • 5–7 hours to peak plasma
  • Acceptable alternative. Slower absorption due to lower blood flow, harder to self-administer
  • Intramuscular (NOT RECOMMENDED)
  • N/A
  • 90° angle, deep muscle
  • 2–3 hours to peak plasma
  • Pharmacokinetics change entirely. Too rapid for lipolysis mechanism, higher bruising/pain risk
  • Oral (NOT VIABLE)
  • Peptides degrade in gastric acid. Zero bioavailability, complete waste
