Sermorelin reconstitution calculator.
Pre-filled with the 5 mg vial and 2 mL of bacteriostatic water the REGEN catalog reports for Sermorelin. Every field is editable.
The numbers for a 5 mg Sermorelin 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 200 mcg dose at that concentration is 0.08 mL, which is 8 units on the syringe, and the vial holds about 25 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 Sermorelin; change any field and the arithmetic follows.
What the research reports for Sermorelin
Published protocols for Sermorelin report 200–300 mcg, pre-bed. That is what the literature describes, not a recommendation. The calculator starts at the low end of it. The Sermorelin reference page carries the evidence grade, the side-effect profile, and the primary sources behind that range.
Sermorelin reconstitution chart for a 5 mg vial
The same 5 mg of Sermorelin 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 200 mcg |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 50 mcg | 4 units |
| 2 mL (catalog) | 2.5 mg/mL | 25 mcg | 8 units |
| 3 mL | 1.67 mg/mL | 16.7 mcg | 12 units |
| 5 mL | 1 mg/mL | 10 mcg | 20 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.
