Peptide Calculator Information
The Peptide Calculator measures reconstitution and peptide dosage for research. Double-check peptide calculator math
with 1/3ml, 50cc, and 100 unit syringes.
How to Measure Bodybuilding Peptides
ml = milliliter. This is a VOLUME measurement. It is 1/1000 of a liter. When talking about water or
similar liquids, it is equivalent to one cubic centimeter.
cc = cubic centimeter. This is also a VOLUME measurement. Most syringes measure their capacity in
cc's. If you have a 1cc syringe, it will hold 1ml of liquid.
iu = international unit. This is a unit used to measure the activity (that is, the effect) of many
vitamins and drugs. For each substance to which this unit applies, there is an international agreement specifying
the biological effect expected with a dose of 1 IU. Other quantities of the substance are then expressed as
multiples of this standard. This also means that this measurement is not based on the sheer volume or weight of
the substance but rather the effect.
mg = milligram. This is a WEIGHT measurement. It is 1/1000 of a gram. The amount of a chemical
substance is often measured in milligrams. For injectable solutions, this will be reported as a concentration of
weight to volume, such as mg/ml (milligrams per milliliter). In the case of orally administered substances, the
weight of chemical is labeled, although the actual weight of the pill/capsule may be much higher because of the
use of filler substances. This means that a small pill may be much more potent than a large pill, so don't judge
a pill based on its size, but the actual amount of substance for which it is labeled. Typical to buy melanotan
peptides in 5 and 10 milligram vials.
mcg = microgram. 1/1000 of a mg (milligram). There are one thousand micrograms in one milligram.
Dosing melanotan 2 peptide, gh fragments, growth hormone secretagogues, and insulin growth factor peptides in
micrograms is common practice.
1000 mcg (microgram) = 1mg (milligram)
1000 mg (milligram) = 1g (gram)
1000 g (gram) = 1kg (kilogram)
1000 ml (milliliter) = 1 liter
1ml (water) = 1cc (water)
How to determine how many micrograms (mcg) of peptide in each unit of an insulin syringe
How to Mix Bodybuilding Peptides
- Take an alcohol swab to the stopper of both your peptide vial and the vial of the dilutent.
- With a 1ml (1cc) syringe, draw your preferred dilutent. Choose an amount that will make measuring the final
product simple.
- 1ml(cc) per 10mg vial of Melanotan would mean each 10 mark on a U100 slin syringe would equal 1mg of
Melanotan.
- 1ml(cc) per 10 IU vial of HGH would mean each 10 mark on a U100 slin syringe would equal 1 IU of
HGH.
- Take the syringe with the dilutent and push it into the vial of lyophilized powder, letting the dilutent
dissolve the peptide.
- After all of the dilutent has been added to the vial, gently swirl until the lyophilized powder has dissolved
and a clear liquid remains. The peptide is now ready for use. Store reconstituted peptide in the
refrigerator.
Measure Reconstituted Peptides
After reconstitution, use a U100 insulin syringe to draw out and inject your product. Remember the following
conversion:
1ml = 1cc = 100 IU's.
To determine the amount to draw out, divide your dose (from the label of the dry lyophilized powder) into the
amount of dilutent used. For example:
- If you used 1cc of water and have a 10 IU vial of HGH, 1 IU corresponds to every 10 marks on a U100 insulin
syringe.
- Adjust accordingly based on your specific vial, dilutent amount, and desired IU/mg.
Examples:
- 1mg vial + 1ML: 10 mcg per IU
- 10mg vial + 1ML: 1 mg per 10 IU
- 20mg vial + 1ML: 2 mg per 10 IU
- 10iu (HGH) vial + 1ML: 1 iu per 10 IU (on the syringe - 1/10th the product)
- 5000iu vial + 1ML: 500iu per 10 IU
