HGH syringe needle 8mm vs 12mm?

[LeeroyMatinta]

I ordered insulin syringes 1ml and 30g, on the pictures it said 8mm, but they arrived 12mm.

Is 12mm okay for injecting hgh? Im not a big person, rather thin (around 14-15% bf).

Or should I try to return them and buy 8mm ones?

Are you talking the length ? You can use anything for HGH.
I use 30g 1inch IM, if you wanna stay subq just pin less needle…

Yes, I‘m talking about length. Is 8mm preferred? I currently have 12mm. I want to do subq, should I order 8mm or is subq possible with 12mm?

12.7 mm (half inch) standard.
Pin at an angle (30-45 degrees).

Just pin less of the needle if you want subq, you dont have to bury the whole needle in.

Just order the 8mm, try both and you will see.

6mm is ideal for subq abdominal injections.

Deeper than that and nodules are created that prevent proper absorption.

The BD Veo 6mm are awesome. The 1/3ml version has half markings are great for precision dosing, but as usual with all BD pins, they're just better.
