How to read this
- Vial size is how much compound (in mg) is in the lyophilized vial being reconstituted.
- BAC water (bacteriostatic water) is the diluent added to the vial. Common volumes: 1–3 ml.
- Concentration = vial size ÷ BAC water volume. Example: 5 mg vial + 2 ml BAC water = 2.5 mg/ml.
- Target research dose (mcg) is the dose being calculated. Ranges shown come from published literature.
- Draw to X units uses a U-100 insulin syringe where 100 units = 1.0 ml. The visualization shows exactly where to draw to.
Frequently asked questions
How is a research dose range determined?
Dose ranges shown come from published clinical-trial or preclinical literature for each compound, not personal-use recommendations. Always verify the current range against the compound's full protocol page and the cited sources.
What does mcg vs mg mean for peptide dosing?
1 mg (milligram) = 1,000 mcg (micrograms). Most peptide research doses are expressed in micrograms because the effective amounts are small — for example, 250 mcg is a quarter of a milligram.
How do I draw the right amount on a syringe?
Divide your target dose (mcg) by the solution's concentration (mcg/ml) to get the volume to draw, then multiply by 100 for a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1.0 ml).
