How to calculate units per dose for any vial The formula has three steps: Step 1 calculate concentration after reconstitution: concentration (mg/mL) = vial mg bac water mL Step 2 convert target dose to mL: dose mL = target dose mg concentration mg/mL Step 3 convert mL to U-100 syringe units: units = dose mL 100 Or combined into one line: units = (target dose mg vial mg) (bac water mL 100) Worked example 5 mg BPC-157 + 2 mL bac water, 250 mcg dose: Concentration: 5 2 = 2.5 mg/mL Dose mL: 0.25 2.5 = 0.1 mL Units: 0.1 100 = 10 units Worked example 10 mg tirzepatide + 2 mL bac water, 2.5 mg dose: Concentration: 10 2 = 5 mg/mL Dose mL: 2.5 5 = 0.5 mL Units: 0.5 100 = 50 units (half a 1 mL syringe) Worked example 50 mg GHK-Cu + 5 mL bac water, 2 mg dose: Concentration: 50 5 = 10 mg/mL Dose mL: 2 10 = 0.2 mL Units: 0.2 100 = 20 units Mistake 1 choosing bac water volume by feel instead of by target unit count
Price context PDA is sold through telehealth-enabled compounding pharmacies at $325400 per 15mg vial roughly 510x the pre-ban price of BPC-157 from research suppliers
