Peptide reconstitution calculator.

Enter the peptide milligrams and the bacteriostatic water you add. The calculator returns the concentration (mg/ml and mcg/ml) and, if you enter a dose, how many units that is on a U-100 insulin syringe. It is pure arithmetic on your numbers — one calculation, no protocol.

A math tool, not medical advice

This calculator only converts the numbers you type into concentration and syringe units. It does not tell you what peptide to use, what dose to take, or whether anything is safe or legal for you. Most peptides are not FDA-approved, and FDA testing has found many gray-market and compounded peptides were mislabeled or under-dosed. Talk to a licensed clinician before using any peptide, and never source from gray-market vendors. Nothing here is a recommendation.

mg

The total milligrams of lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptide in the vial, from its label.

ml

How much BAC water you reconstitute the vial with. More water = a more dilute solution.

mcg

Enter a dose to see it converted into insulin-syringe units. We convert the number you type — we do not suggest one.

The math

Enter the peptide amount and the water you're adding to see the concentration and syringe units. This tool only does the arithmetic — it never tells you what to take.

Arithmetic only. This is not a dose recommendation, and most peptides are not FDA-approved. See the safety note above.

How the reconstitution math works

Reconstitution is just dilution. The concentration is the peptide amount divided by the water volume:

StepFormula
Concentration (mg/ml)peptide mg ÷ water ml
Concentration (mcg/ml)mg/ml × 1,000
mcg per unit (U-100)mcg/ml ÷ 100
Units for a dosedose mcg ÷ mcg-per-unit

A U-100 insulin syringe is marked in 100 units per millilitre, so one unit is 0.01 ml. That is why the same dose draws to a different number of units depending on how much water you reconstituted with.

FAQ

Peptide calculator questions

How do you calculate peptide reconstitution?

Divide the milligrams of peptide in the vial by the millilitres of bacteriostatic water you add. That gives the concentration in mg/ml. Multiply by 1,000 for mcg/ml. Example: 5 mg of peptide in 2 ml of water is 2.5 mg/ml, or 2,500 mcg/ml.

What does 'units' mean on an insulin syringe?

A U-100 insulin syringe is marked in 100 units per millilitre, so one unit equals 0.01 ml. To convert a dose in mcg to units, divide the dose by the mcg-per-unit figure the calculator shows for your concentration.

What is bacteriostatic water?

Bacteriostatic water is sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol added to inhibit bacterial growth, used to reconstitute lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides. The amount you add sets the concentration — more water makes a more dilute solution.

Is this peptide calculator dosing advice?

No. It only converts the numbers you enter into concentration and syringe units — arithmetic, nothing more. It does not tell you what peptide to use, what dose to take, or whether any peptide is safe or legal for you. Most peptides are not FDA-approved; talk to a licensed clinician.
