How It Works

Reconstitution is mixing a lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptide powder with bacteriostatic water to create an injectable solution.

1

Gather your vial

Note the amount of peptide in the vial (e.g. 5mg). This is printed on the label.

2

Add bacteriostatic water

Draw your chosen volume of bacteriostatic water into a syringe and inject slowly into the vial. Never shakeโ€”swirl gently.

3

Calculate your draw

Use this calculator to determine exactly how many units to pull into your syringe for the desired dose.

4

Store properly

Reconstituted peptides typically require refrigeration (2โ€“8ยฐC) and are stable for 2โ€“4 weeks once mixed.

The Formula

Concentration (peptide mg ร— 1000) รท water mL = mcg/mL
Draw Volume dose mcg รท concentration = mL to draw
Syringe Units draw volume (mL) ร— 100 = units on syringe

Based on a standard 100-unit (1mL) insulin syringe. Each tick mark = 1 unit = 0.01mL.

Mix / Blend Reconstitution

Reconstitute a multi-peptide vial โ€” e.g. a "Glow" or "Recovery" blend. Add each peptide and the total water volume, then choose a draw amount to see per-peptide dosing.

How Blend Reconstitution Works

Multi-peptide blends are lyophilized (freeze-dried) together in a single vial. When reconstituted, every draw contains all peptides in the same ratio.

1

Know your vial contents

Check the label for each peptide and its amount in mg. A "Glow" vial might list GHK-Cu 3mg + Epithalon 5mg + Selank 2mg.

2

Add bacteriostatic water

Inject your chosen water volume into the vial. The total water volume determines concentration of all peptides simultaneously.

3

Draw your dose

Choose a draw amount (in syringe units). Because all peptides share the same solution, each draw delivers a fixed ratio of every peptide.

4

Verify the doses

Use this calculator to confirm each peptide's dose at your chosen draw volume, and adjust water volume or draw amount as needed.
