Put 2 mL of bacteriostatic water into the 5 mg Kisspeptin-10 vial. That makes 2.50 mg/mL. A 150 mcg dose is then 6.0 units on a U-100 syringe.
That volume is the one that lands the draw on a syringe line, so the reading can be checked by eye. More water makes a weaker mix and a bigger draw. Less water makes a stronger mix and a smaller one. The amount of Kisspeptin-10 in the glass never changes. Only the number of marks it takes does.
Kisspeptin-10 is the ten-amino-acid working core of kisspeptin, the signal sitting at the very top of the reproductive hormone chain.
| Water added | Concentration | Per U-100 unit | Example: 150 mcg = |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 mL | 2.50 mg/mL | 25 mcg | 6.0 units |
| 3 mL | 1.67 mg/mL | 16.67 mcg | 9.0 units |
Straight arithmetic: concentration = 5 mg ÷ water, and 1 U-100 unit = 0.01 mL. The example column shows the math at 150 mcg; it is not a dose recommendation.
Which volume to use is a practical choice rather than a dose. Pick the one that puts your draw somewhere you can actually read it on the syringe. The flags in the last column mark where that fails. “Hard to measure” means the draw is too small to judge by eye. “Won’t fit” means it is bigger than one U-100 syringe holds.
At the worked amount, the smaller kisspeptin vial contains more than half a year of weekly draws. Each water option lands exactly on a syringe line.
The vial divides into thirty-three worked amounts. No published source gives a storage window, so that count should not be read as a schedule.
On the compounds in this family that do carry a window, a supply this long would be almost entirely discarded. Silence in the page is not evidence that it would not be.
Both listed volumes give whole numbers of units, though both sit low on the barrel. The larger volume is the one that puts more marks between you and a mistake.
On the larger vial in this family neither of those things holds, which makes this the more measurable of the two sizes despite holding less.
Human responses to this peptide came from injections into a vein. Under the skin, the largest amount studied moved neither of the hormones being measured.
So the conversion below is exact and its subject is the route with the weakest evidence behind it. That is worth knowing before the count of draws feels like a plan.
The table shows the offered water volumes. The calculator does the same arithmetic for any volume and any syringe, and shows its working line by line.
