How Reconstitution Math Works

When you add bacteriostatic water to a lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptide vial, you create a solution with a known concentration. The math is straightforward:

  1. Concentration = Vial size (mcg) ÷ Water added (mL)
  2. Volume per dose = Desired dose (mcg) ÷ Concentration (mcg/mL)
  3. Units to draw = Volume (mL) × 100 (for a U-100 insulin syringe)

A U-100 insulin syringe has 100 units per 1 mL. So 10 units = 0.10 mL, 20 units = 0.20 mL, and so on.

Common Reconstitution Examples

Recovery

BPC-157

5 mg vial + 2 mL BAC water

  • Concentration: 2,500 mcg/mL
  • 250 mcg dose = 10 units
  • 500 mcg dose = 20 units
  • 20 doses at 250 mcg per vial

Tissue Repair

TB-500

5 mg vial + 1 mL BAC water

  • Concentration: 5,000 mcg/mL
  • 2 mg dose = 40 units
  • 2.5 mg dose = 50 units
  • 2 doses at 2.5 mg per vial

Skin & Anti-Aging

GHK-Cu

50 mg vial + 5 mL BAC water

  • Concentration: 10,000 mcg/mL
  • 1 mg dose = 10 units
  • 2 mg dose = 20 units
  • 25 doses at 2 mg per vial
