Part 1: How to Mix (Reconstitute)
- Add Water: Inject exactly 2.0 mL (200 units) of bacteriostatic water into the 10 mg vial.
- Inject Slowly: Push the needle into the powder vial. Aim the needle at the glass wall and press the plunger slowly so the water trickles down.
- Dissolve: Gently swirl the vial in circles until the liquid is completely clear. Do not shake it like a cocktail shaker, as rough shaking can damage the peptide.
- Store: Put the mixed vial straight into the refrigerator. It must stay cold.
Part 2: Dosing & Schedule
Now that the powder is dissolved in 2.0 mL of water, the math breaks down as 50 mcg of peptide per 1 unit on a standard insulin syringe (the small ones with 100 markings):
- Your Week 1 Dose (250 mcg): Draw up the liquid to the 5 units mark. Take this dose once daily for the first week (5 days, taking weekends off).
- Your Remaining Dose (0.75 mg / 750 mcg): Starting Week 2, draw up the liquid to the 15 units mark. Take this dose once daily until the vial is completely empty.
- Your Daily Schedule: Take your dose 5 days a week (for example, Monday through Friday, taking weekends off).
- Your Yearly Schedule: Repeat this entire vial cycle 2 to 3 times a year as desired.
Part 3: How Long It Lasts & Total Need
- Total Liquid: 2.0 mL = 200 units total.
- Week 1 Usage: 5 doses at 5 units each = 25 units used (1,250 mcg total).
- Remaining Liquid: 175 units left in the vial for the higher dose.
- Vial Lifespan:
- Week 1: 5 doses at 250 mcg.
- Weeks 2+: Approximately 11 to 12 doses at 750 mcg.
- Total: 1 vial will last you roughly 3.3 weeks total when dosing 5 days a week.
