Glutathione reconstitution calculator.
Pre-filled with the 600 mg vial and 5 mL of bacteriostatic water the REGEN catalog reports for Glutathione. Every field is editable.
The numbers for a 600 mg Glutathione vial
Reconstituting a 600 mg vial with 5 mL of bacteriostatic water gives a concentration of 120 mg/mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe, where one unit is 0.01 mL, that puts 1200 mcg in every unit drawn.
A 200000 mcg dose at that concentration is 1.667 mL, which is 166.7 units on the syringe, and the vial holds about 3 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 Glutathione; change any field and the arithmetic follows.
What the research reports for Glutathione
Published protocols for Glutathione report 200–1000 mg, route-dependent. That is what the literature describes, not a recommendation. The calculator starts at the low end of it. The Glutathione reference page carries the evidence grade, the side-effect profile, and the primary sources behind that range.
Glutathione reconstitution chart for a 600 mg vial
The same 600 mg of Glutathione 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 200000 mcg |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 600 mg/mL | 6000 mcg | 33.3 units |
| 2 mL | 300 mg/mL | 3000 mcg | 66.7 units |
| 3 mL | 200 mg/mL | 2000 mcg | 100 units |
| 5 mL (catalog) | 120 mg/mL | 1200 mcg | 166.7 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.
