How do I reconstitute peptides with bacteriostatic water?

Draw bacteriostatic water into a syringe, inject slowly down the vial wall (not directly onto powder), then gently swirl until dissolved. Never shake. Store refrigerated at 2-8C and use within 28 days.

How many units should I draw on an insulin syringe?

1 mL equals 100 units on a standard insulin syringe. Divide your required volume in mL by 0.01 to get units. For example, 0.25 mL = 25 units. Use the smallest syringe that fits your dose for better precision.

What syringe size should I use for peptide injections?

0.3 mL (30 unit) syringes offer the best precision for small doses under 0.3 mL. 0.5 mL (50 unit) syringes work for most peptides. 1 mL (100 unit) syringes are needed for larger dose volumes.

How to use: Enter your vial size and the amount of bacteriostatic water you'll add. Then enter your desired dose to see exactly how much to draw.

Tip: 1 mL = 100 units on an insulin syringe. Draw slowly to ensure accuracy.

SS-31 Reference

SS-31 Dosing Protocols

Goal	Dose	Frequency
General mitochondrial support	5-10mg	Once daily
Athletic performance	10-20mg	Once daily pre-workout
Clinical protocols	40mg	Once daily
Acute cardioprotection	0.25mg/kg/hr	Continuous infusion

Reconstitution Steps

01 Clean vial with alcohol pad
02 Add 1-2mL bacteriostatic water per 10mg peptide
03 Gently swirl to dissolve (dissolves readily)
04 Verify clear, colorless solution
05 Optional: sterile filtration for IV use
06 Label with concentration and date
07 Store immediately at 2-8°C
08 Protect from light - use amber vials if available
