I am still confused on how to mix my peptide vial

If you’re unsure how to mix and measure your peptide doses, here’s a simple guide:

Key Points to Understand

• 1mg = 1000mcg
• A vial labeled 5mg always contains 5000mcg of peptide, no matter how much bacteriostatic water (bac water) you add.
• Adding bac water dilutes the solution, making it easier to measure smaller doses, but the total amount of peptide (5000mcg) remains the same.
• The maximum amount of bac water you can add is 3ml.

Mixing Your Peptide

Depending on how much bac water you add, the concentration of the solution will change:

• 1ml of bac water → 1ml = 5000mcg (5mg)
• 2ml of bac water → 1ml = 2500mcg (2.5mg)
• 3ml of bac water → 1ml = 1666.67mcg (1.67mg)

Calculating Your Dose

To figure out how many doses are in the vial:

• If you want to inject 250mcg per dose, divide the total peptide amount by your desired dose:
  • 5000mcg ÷ 250mcg = 20 doses

Drawing the Correct Dose into a Syringe

The more bac water you add, the easier it is to measure smaller doses accurately:

• If you mix 2ml of bac water:
  • Each 0.1ml (10 units on an insulin syringe) = 250mcg
  • For a 250mcg injection, draw 0.1ml (10 units)
• If you mix 3ml of bac water:
  • Each 0.15ml (15 units on an insulin syringe) = 250mcg
  • For a 250mcg injection, draw 0.15ml (15 units)

By adjusting the amount of bac water up to a maximum of 3ml, you can make dosing more precise and easier to measure.

This is simply an example for a 5mg vial (5000mcg) this does not apply to every peptide.
