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.

VIP Reference

VIP Dosing Protocols

Goal	Dose	Frequency
General use	50-100 mcg	1-2x daily
Research protocols	100-200 mcg	As directed

Reconstitution Steps

01 Clean work area and hands thoroughly
02 Calculate required BAC water volume
03 Draw BAC water into syringe
04 Inject slowly down vial side
05 Gently swirl until dissolved (never shake)
06 Use promptly due to short stability

Quick Reference

Typical Dose 50-100 mcg per dose (up to 200 mcg in research protocols)

Frequency 1-2 times daily due to very short 2-minute half-life

Half-life 1-2 minutes

Storage Lyophilized powder: 2-8°C refrigerated; Reconstituted: use immediately (very short stability, ~2 minute half-life)

Cycle As prescribed for specific condition
