Stupid question about reconstituting--is it assumed the mg is per ml?

[Such1943]

2x week split M/Thur or whatever you do. Check the COA for actual mg in vial but I typically roll spicy and calculate to the said amount. (I choose 2ml BAC for even units)

The fun part is when you realize that by controlling the ml per mg, you can set the volume of your dosage. So, for example, if you want 2mg of TB-500 you can reconstitute with 1.5ml instead of 3 and only have to inject 30 units, instead of 60, or whatever.

Calculators are the greatest addition to the peptide journey. I use:

I saved screenshots of my doses to make subsequent reconstitutions easy.

Congratulations on your success!

That's what I do with R40 and up to R140. Normally I do this simple math 30mg vial is 3ml BAC and pin what ever dose I'm on. Other times I'll recon the BAC based on my current dose vs vial mg, so I can get almost full shots and empty the vial. If that makes sense.

Smart people ask stupid questions. Stupid people don't ask questions.

Your 30 mg vial does not contain 30 mg. Batch testing reveals (approximately) what it contains. That has on occasion proved to be +30%.

Don't think in terms of concentration... it's relevant only for compounding pharmacies. Eli Lilly himself doesn't use a consistent concentration

Figure out how many units (corresponding to a numbered tick on your syringes) you want to pin each time, and then use the reverse calculator in my signature to determine the inelegant amount of bac water to dilute with.

Don't try to do math... it's nobody's friend.

Excelsior!

If you are sending a vial out of each batch for testing, You use that result mg in your calculations.

I agree, you seldom know the actual TRUE mg content of your vial... but most will come in

+/- 10% of the stated weight. So if you want 10mg, you are likely to get between 9 & 11mg.

And, your calculation will likely be consistent within a batch. ( if not, you might want a different vendor... )

If you don't try doing 'math', then how do you even know how much you are paying a vendor for your peptides ?

Some people want simplification, others want detail.

As always, safety first.
