Adamax reconstitution calculator.
Pre-filled with the 10 mg vial and 2 mL of bacteriostatic water the REGEN catalog reports for Adamax. Every field is editable.
The numbers for a 10 mg Adamax vial
Reconstituting a 10 mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives a concentration of 5 mg/mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe, where one unit is 0.01 mL, that puts 50 mcg in every unit drawn.
A 300 mcg dose at that concentration is 0.06 mL, which is 6 units on the syringe, and the vial holds about 33 of them.
Those are the values the calculator above opens with. The vial size and water volume are the amounts the REGEN catalog reports for Adamax; change any field and the arithmetic follows.
What the research reports for Adamax
Published protocols for Adamax report 300–600 mcg, 1-2x daily. That is what the literature describes, not a recommendation. The calculator starts at the low end of it. The Adamax reference page carries the evidence grade, the side-effect profile, and the primary sources behind that range.
Adamax reconstitution chart for a 10 mg vial
The same 10 mg of Adamax at four common water volumes. More water does not mean more compound, it spreads the same amount across a bigger volume, so the same dose is drawn to a higher number of units. That is usually the safer direction to be imprecise in: small errors on a longer draw matter proportionally less.
| Bacteriostatic water | Concentration | Per unit (U-100) | Units for 300 mcg |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 100 mcg | 3 units |
| 2 mL (catalog) | 5 mg/mL | 50 mcg | 6 units |
| 3 mL | 3.33 mg/mL | 33.3 mcg | 9 units |
| 5 mL | 2 mg/mL | 20 mcg | 15 units |
"Units" here means syringe graduations, not international units. They are unrelated measures that share a name, and conflating them is its own category of mistake. The reconstitution calculator explains the arithmetic behind these columns in full.
