Home Peptide Calculator: How to Convert mg to mcg, Units, mL & Mix Peptides
Trying to figure out at home how many units is 250 mcg, how to mix peptides correctly, or how to calculate your exact dose in mL? You’re not alone — peptide dosing can be confusing, especially when you’re preparing injections yourself. Our Peptide Reconstitution Calculator helps you quickly convert mg to mcg, calculate peptide concentration per mL, and determine insulin syringe units based on your vial strength and dilution. Whether you’re using Sermorelin, Tesamorelin, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, GLOW Mix, or NAD+, this tool makes at-home peptide dosing simpler, clearer, and more accurate in seconds.

Common question patients ask when starting peptide therapy:
250 mcg = How Many Units?
The number of units for 250 mcg depends on your peptide concentration after mixing.
If you mix 5 mg with 2 mL → 250 mcg ≈ 10 units If you mix 5 mg with 5 mL → 250 mcg ≈ 25 units
Always use a calculator or follow your provider’s instructions, as unit measurements change based on dilution.
Peptide Dosing Table (Units Guide)
Below are common examples based on typical reconstitution ratios. Actual dosing may vary depending on your prescription.
Vial Strength Diluent (mL) Dose Units (U-100) 5 mg 2 mL 250 mcg 10 units 5 mg 3 mL 250 mcg 15 units 5 mg 5 mL 250 mcg 25 units 10 mg 2 mL 500 mcg 10 units 10 mg 5 mL 500 mcg 25 units
Note: These are general examples. Always follow your provider’s instructions and prescription label.
Key Takeaways
🟢 Peptide dosing depends on both the amount in the vial and the total diluent added.
🟢 This calculator estimates concentration, dose volume in mL, syringe measurements, and estimated doses per vial.
🟢 The same peptide dose can equal different syringe amounts if the vial strength or reconstitution amount changes.
🟢 Always verify the product label and provider instructions before injecting.

How to Use the Peptide Calculator
Follow these simple steps to calculate your peptide dose, syringe units, and reconstitution ratio accurately.
Step 1: Select Your Peptide
Choose the peptide you are using, such as Tesamorelin, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, GLOW Mix, or NAD+. Each option adjusts default dosing ranges and units.
Step 2: Enter Vial Strength
Input the total amount of peptide in the vial. This tells the calculator how much active compound is available before reconstitution.
Step 3: Add Diluent (Water Volume)
Enter how many mL of bacteriostatic water or other diluent you added. This determines the final concentration of the solution.
Step 4: Enter Your Desired Dose
Input your target dose per injection. The calculator converts this into volume and syringe measurement.
Step 5: Choose Your Syringe Type
Select insulin, tuberculin, or standard syringe. The calculator adjusts the output based on the syringe style you use.
Step 6: Review the Results
Check the estimated concentration, mL per dose, syringe measurement, and doses per vial. This helps confirm whether your settings look correct before proceeding.
Step 7: Confirm With Your Prescription
Always compare the calculator result with your prescription label, pharmacy instructions, and provider guidance. This tool is for educational use only.

Frequently Asked Questions About Peptide Dosing
How do I convert mg to mcg in peptides?
1 mg equals 1000 mcg. For example, 0.25 mg is the same as 250 mcg.
How many units is 250 mcg on an insulin syringe?
It depends on the concentration after mixing. The same 250 mcg dose can equal different units depending on how much diluent was added.
How do you calculate peptide dosage after mixing?
Divide the total amount of peptide in the vial by the total mL of diluent to get concentration, then calculate how much volume is needed for your dose.
What happens if I add more bacteriostatic water?
Adding more water lowers the concentration, so you will need to draw a larger volume for the same dose.
What syringe should I use for peptides?
Most patients use U-100 insulin syringes for precise dosing, but the correct syringe depends on the volume prescribed.
Why are my peptide units different from someone else’s?
Different mixing ratios and pharmacy concentrations result in different measurements, even for the same dose.
How many doses are in one vial after mixing?
Divide the total amount of peptide in the vial by your dose to estimate how many injections you can get.
Should I follow a calculator or my prescription?
Always follow your provider’s prescription and instructions over any online calculator.
Is 250 mcg the same as 0.25 mg?
Yes, 250 mcg equals 0.25 mg.
How do I measure peptides with an insulin syringe?
You measure based on units, where 100 units equals 1 mL on a U-100 syringe. The exact number of units depends on your concentration.
How do I calculate peptide concentration per mL?
Divide the total amount in mg by the total mL of diluent added to determine the concentration per mL.
