How the math works

Every reconstitution calculator uses the same three steps. Here they are in plain numbers, so you can check any result by hand.

STEP 1

Find the strength

mg in vial ÷ mL of water = mg/mL

10 mg + 2 mL of bacteriostatic water = 5 mg/mL. The water changes the strength, not the amount of peptide.

STEP 2

Find the volume

amount you want ÷ strength = mL

For 250 mcg (0.25 mg): 0.25 ÷ 5 = 0.05 mL.

STEP 3

Convert to units

mL × 100 = units (U-100)

0.05 mL × 100 = 5 units. On a U-100 syringe, 1 unit is always 0.01 mL, whatever the barrel size.

Questions people ask

How do I work out how many units to draw?

Three steps. 1) Strength = mg in the vial ÷ mL of water added. 2) Volume = the amount you want ÷ strength. 3) Units = volume in mL × 100 on a standard U-100 syringe. Example: 10 mg + 2 mL = 5 mg/mL. For 250 mcg (0.25 mg): 0.25 ÷ 5 = 0.05 mL = 5 units.

What is the difference between mcg, mg, mL and units?

mcg and mg measure how much peptide you have (1 mg = 1,000 mcg). mL measures liquid. Units are just the markings on an insulin-style syringe: on a U-100 syringe, 1 unit = 0.01 mL, so 100 units = 1 mL.

How much bacteriostatic water should I add?

There is no single correct amount. The water changes the strength, not how much peptide is in the vial. More water makes each unit weaker, so draws get larger and easier to measure accurately. Many researchers use 2 mL for 5–10 mg vials and 3 mL for larger vials and blends. The calculator suggests a water amount that puts your target on a round, easy-to-read mark.

Is a 0.3 mL (30-unit) syringe a different scale from a 1 mL syringe?

No. 0.3 mL, 0.5 mL and 1 mL insulin syringes are all U-100: 1 unit is always 0.01 mL. Only the barrel size changes. Smaller barrels have finer markings, which makes small draws easier to read.

How do I calculate a blend like KLOW, GLOW or Wolverine?

Choose the blend in the calculator. You can measure by the whole blend or by one ingredient (for example, the BPC-157 in KLOW). The results show how much of every ingredient is in each draw, because the ingredients dissolve together in the same ratio.

How long does a reconstituted peptide last?

Plan on about one week in the fridge (2–8°C) as a conservative standard. Bacteriostatic water slows microbial growth but does not stop the peptide from slowly breaking down in solution. For longer, split the solution into single-use portions and freeze them, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

How should I store the unmixed powder?

Keep sealed lyophilized vials cold, dry and dark. The freezer (-20°C) is the standard for longer storage. Short periods at room temperature are fine, which is why vials ship without ice. Let a cold vial warm to room temperature before opening it.

Why does my result show a decimal like 12.5 units?

Because the math rarely lands on a whole number. The calculator also shows the nearest line on your syringe. If you would rather get a round number, use the water tip in the results, which suggests a water amount that makes your target land exactly on a mark.
