Does injecting into the upper arm change absorption enough to matter?

Asked 29 Aug 2024Modified 23 months agoViewed 16k times

My setup is a refrigerator with a logger and a small work area I wipe down, nothing more.

I want to know whether this is a real physical effect or an artefact of how it is measured.

What prompted the question is an inconsistency between two sources I otherwise trust.

Is the standard explanation correct, and if so, what is the evidence for it?

Worth stating whether you have a content assay, because the calculation assumes label claim. – mg_per_ml 9 months ago
