🧬 Peptide Calculator

A peptide calculator is a digital tool designed to help researchers and individuals determine the appropriate concentration and quantity of peptides when preparing them for administration. It calculates the correct dosage, syringe units, and reconstitution ratios.

1. Enter the peptide amount (mg) from your vial
2. Specify the bacteriostatic water volume (mL) you'll add
3. Input your desired dose (mcg or mg)
4. Choose your syringe type
5. The calculator will show you exactly how much to draw in your syringe

Peptide reconstitution is the process of dissolving lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptide powder with bacteriostatic water to create an injectable solution. This process is necessary because peptides are typically shipped as stable powder.

The amount of bacteriostatic water depends on your desired concentration. Common amounts are 1-3mL. More water creates a less concentrated solution, while less water creates a more concentrated solution. Most people use 1-2mL for standard peptides.

For most peptide injections, use insulin syringes (0.3mL, 0.5mL, or 1mL) with 29-31 gauge needles. These provide accurate dosing for small volumes. If your calculated dose exceeds 1mL, you may need a larger syringe.

Many peptides are dosed per kilogram of body weight (mcg/kg). Multiply your weight in kg by the recommended dose per kg. For example: 70kg × 5mcg/kg = 350mcg total dose.

Peptides can be safe when used properly under medical supervision. However, they should only be used for research purposes or under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider. Always follow proper sterile injection techniques.
