Blend Sanity Check

[yrrdead]

I see this pop up every now and then on reddit as well as this forum. I've seen it enough where people are implying or straight out saying something that seems wrong to me. And as I'm looking to order a couple blends this is something I would rather not get wrong.

How do you calculate blended dosing?

A.. My assumption having never looked at it was that if I have 5mg of X and 5mg of Y + 1mL = 5mgXY/mL which for a 200mcg of X and 200 mcg of Y would be .4ml
B.. What I'm seeing elsewhere is people saying 5mg of X and 5mg of Y + 1mL = 10mg/ml which for a 200mcg would be .2ml

Now I'm just double checking because the above is fine as long as people realize that with A you are getting 200mcg of X and 200 mcg of Y in that .4mL but I'm seeing people thinking that dosing for scenario B is giving 200mcg of X and 200mcg of Y vs the 100mcg of each.

Am I just misinterpreting what people are doing ?

Neither. If you have 5mg each in 1mL, 0.2 (1/5 of 1 mL) would be 1mg of X and 1mg of Y. To get 200mcg (0.2mg) of each, your dose would be 0.04mL

Appreciate that. That tells me that the blending works as I expected. And that I'm also bad at arithmetic.

Situation A = 0.4mL is a 4mg dose. 2mg of each (40 units in the syringe)
Situation B = No. 200mcg is 0.2mg and 10mg divided by 0.2mg = 50 doses ... so 0.02mL = 200mcg (2 units in the syringe)

Ok basically what dose do you want of each?
If your desired dose is 200mcg (.2mg) of each, that is 400mcg (.4mg) total from a 10mg vial.
My advise is to add 2.5mL solution (BAC?) to make it easier for you to get the dosage right.
This makes your correct dose 10 units.
If you insist on just using 1mL of solution, then your correct dose would be 4 units.

I use a peptide calculator to double check my dose, then a reverse peptide calculator to triple check.
