Check my math

[steppinthrax]

To double-check my process and calculations, I want to ensure both are accurate. I'm using a commonly available online reconstitution calculator (https://jaycampbell.com/peptide-calculator/).

Here’s the scenario: I have vials containing 30 mg of T, and my goal is to dose 7.5 mg per week. Based on my calculations:

• If I reconstitute the vial with 2 ml of BAC water and use a 1 ml syringe, I’ll need to draw approximately 50 units per week.
• At this dosage, each vial should last around one month.

I understand that the amount of BAC water used for reconstitution is somewhat arbitrary. Is there any specific advantage to using more or less BAC water?

I have another question: Is it okay to use insulin syringes for reconstituting? I understand I would need to draw twice to reach 2ml.

I have a SMALL amount of energy to help... I don't mean this to come across as snarky but I am not sure why you need someone to check your math when you already used a calculator? Well, maybe from your other questions you just need reassurance you are doing this right?

Let's math together shall we?
How many 7.5mg doses can you get from 30mg? Divide 30 by 7.5 = 4 doses
If you have 2 ml of water and now you need to split that into your 4 doses: Divide 2 by 4 = 0.5ml
0.5ml = 50 units.

#2 - no. Just how much volume you will end up injecting and the ease of math. Which using a calculator takes away any real math difficulties imho.
#3 - yes. Why would you think they would not be ok? As long as you realize 100 units = 1 ml which it already has that stated on your screen shot.

Please use a new needle to give the injection after you reconstitute. That needle will have been jabbed into a top 4 times and it will be dull af and will suck to stab yourself with.

Two vial jabs is my limit and even that already feels like crap. Three and that needle is dull AF.

I'm new as you see from my previous posts and need some reassurance. Do you think it makes sense to get a pack of larger (2ml or more) syringes for recon? Since you reduce the risk of contimination with only inserting once....

It sounds like you are doing everything correctly. I personally use 3ml luer-lock syringes for reconstitution but I am able to acquire those cheaply. You could get a pack of 3ml (I have not heard of 2ml syringes) if you wanted to, but the insulin syringes are cheap. It might make sense to use one to reconstitute and then toss it and get another to give the injection. It comes down to preference really.

Smh I just laughed. Thanks for helping!!

You're taking 1/4 of the vial each dose so 1/4 of however much liquid you recon with is your injection. With a typical 1ml/100 unit syringe you'd have four 25 unit doses if you just used one to recon. If you recon with a gallon you'd inject a quart. Both equations yield 7.5mg.

I also use the 3ml luer-lock syringes (Amazon) and I'm surprised how fast I'm going through them. I'm filtering and enhancing skincare products with reconned peptides as well.

For tirz, I use 45-50units because EliLilly (and my compounding pharma) used 50u. There is a science; parenteral preparations.

PRINCIPLES OF RECONSTITUTION
• YOU MUST FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURERS
DIRECTION FOR RECONSTITUTION. THEY WILL PROVIDE:
1. THE EXPIRATION DATE
2. TYPE OF DILUENT/SOLVENT TO USE (STERILE WATER, STERILE NORMAL SALINE,
5% DEXTROSE & BACTERIOSTATIC WATER – SOME POWDERED MEDS FOR
ORAL USE MAY EVEN BE RECONSTITUTED WITH TAP WATER): NEVER ASSUME
THE TYPE OR AMOUNT OF DILUENT TO BE USED… etc, etc

units mean nothing when you don't know how much mgs are in a vial, and how much bac water is added.
