Struggling with injection site reactions from your peptide injections? You’re not alone! In this video, I’ll walk you through exactly why peptide injection reactions happen, including redness, itching, swelling, and irritation—and most importantly, how to fix them. I cover the immunological mechanisms behind reactions, practical tips to minimize discomfort, and whether injecting peptides intramuscularly instead of subcutaneously is the solution you’ve been looking for. By understanding the root cause of these reactions, you’ll be able to continue your peptide regimen safely and effectively.
