Kisspeptin-10 reconstitution calculator.
Pre-filled with the 5 mg vial and 2 mL of bacteriostatic water the REGEN catalog reports for Kisspeptin-10. Every field is editable.
The numbers for a 5 mg Kisspeptin-10 vial
Reconstituting a 5 mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe, where one unit is 0.01 mL, that puts 25 mcg in every unit drawn.
A 100 mcg dose at that concentration is 0.04 mL, which is 4 units on the syringe, and the vial holds about 50 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 Kisspeptin-10; change any field and the arithmetic follows.
What the research reports for Kisspeptin-10
Published protocols for Kisspeptin-10 report ~100 mcg, research protocol-dependent. That is what the literature describes, not a recommendation. The calculator starts at the low end of it. The Kisspeptin-10 reference page carries the evidence grade, the side-effect profile, and the primary sources behind that range.
Kisspeptin-10 reconstitution chart for a 5 mg vial
The same 5 mg of Kisspeptin-10 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 100 mcg |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 50 mcg | 2 units |
| 2 mL (catalog) | 2.5 mg/mL | 25 mcg | 4 units |
| 3 mL | 1.67 mg/mL | 16.7 mcg | 6 units |
| 5 mL | 1 mg/mL | 10 mcg | 10 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.
