Pick your vial and it fills itself in. Every answer is a number and a mark on the syringe.
What these words mean
Units
The little numbered marks printed on an insulin syringe. Nothing to do with milligrams.
On a U-100 syringe, 100 units is 1 mL — the whole syringe. So 10 units is one tenth of it.
Medicine in the vial
The milligrams of dry powder that came in the glass vial, before you add anything.
It is printed on the label: 10 mg, 30 mg, and so on.
Bacteriostatic water
The liquid you add to the vial to dissolve the powder. How much you add does
not change how much medicine is in there — it changes how strong each millilitre is, and therefore which
mark you draw to.
Medicine in the syringe
The milligrams you are actually drawing up for one dose. Smaller than what
is in the vial, because a vial holds several doses.
Concentration (mg/mL)
How strong the liquid is once mixed. Medicine in the vial, divided by the
water you added.
Draw to
The mark on the syringe to pull the plunger back to. This is the number you actually use.
If you remember one thing: milligrams are the medicine, units are the marks on the
syringe, and the water is what connects the two.
What is my dose?
Our working schedule for each one, with the mark on the syringe already worked out for you.
This part is for customers.
Open the calculator from the link in your account or your order email and your schedules appear here.
You know how much medicine you want. This tells you which mark on the syringe that is.
Or choose Something else and type it in.
I drew to this mark — how much medicine is that?
The same sum backwards, for checking what you actually drew.
How much water should I add?
Start from the mark you would like your dose to land on, and it tells you how much water to add. We reconstitute everything with 2 mL as standard.
Round numbers are easier to draw accurately.
A vial with more than one peptide in it
For a vial with more than one peptide in it. Enter each one, then how much you want of the first — the others follow in proportion, because they are all in the same liquid.
What this does and does not do. It converts milligrams into millilitres and into marks on a
U-100 syringe, where 100 units is 1 mL. That is measurement arithmetic and nothing more.
It does not tell anyone what to take, how often, or for how long. Amounts, frequency and oversight
belong with the qualified professional looking after you.
