4.0 units on a U-100 insulin syringe · 1 mL · lines every 2 units, which is 0.04 milliliters. The draw lands on a syringe line.
Easy to read on this syringe. Draw to the 4-unit line. No rounding is needed.
5 mg ÷ 2 mL = 2.50 mg/mL → 25 mcg/unit · 100 mcg = 0.040 mL =4.0 units

Can this syringe show the result clearly?
Easy to read on this syringe.4.0 u is exactly the 4-unit line on a U-100 — no rounding error at all.
Want an easier syringe number?
This setup is already easy to read. Changing the water between 0.5 and 3 mL would not put 100 mcg closer to a line on this U-100 syringe.
Adding more water makes the mixture less concentrated, so the same dose uses more syringe units. It does not change how much peptide is in the vial.
This setup is in the address bar — every input is part of the link.
Educational math, not medical advice — dosing decisions belong to a licensed clinician. The tabs above also plan a schedule week by week and count how many doses one vial holds.
How to use the calculator
STEP 1
Enter the amount in the vial
Use the total amount printed on the vial, in mg.
STEP 2
Enter the water you added
Use the amount of water added to that vial, in mL.
STEP 3
Enter the dose you want to convert
Choose mg or mcg, then match the result to your syringe.
Hexarelin is a peptide six amino acids long, built in the early 1990s to trigger a growth-hormone pulse. Sellers pitch it as the hardest-hitting of the growth-hormone peptides, for muscle and recovery.
The pulse gets smaller as the doses repeat. On the only long course on record it had roughly halved by week 16, and came back only once the drug stopped. No trial turned that into a schedule, and none measured muscle.
Examples using a 5 mg Hexarelin vial
Each row starts with the same 5 mg vial and changes only the amount of water. More water makes the mixture less concentrated, so the same dose uses more syringe units.

The vial, water and dose shown here are the calculator’s starting example for Hexarelin. Replace them with your own values. Every result in the table is calculated from those inputs.
Drawn from once a week at 100 mcg, a 5 mg vial yields 50 doses — about 50.0 weeks of supply. No cited source says how long the mixed vial keeps, so no storage window is shown.
Small vials, small doses, and rounding that bites
Hexarelin’s vials hold little powder, and the conventional dose is small on top of that. The two together put nearly every reading on this page in single figures of units, which is where rounding does the most damage.

Nearly every pairing lands in single figures
Across this page’s vial sizes and water volumes, the conventional amount reads in the low single digits of units almost everywhere. At that size one mark is a quarter or a third of the draw.
One pairing does better. The smaller vial with the larger water volume is the only combination here that reaches double figures. That alone is a reason to choose it.
The response faded as the course went on
In the only long course on record, the growth-hormone response had roughly halved by week sixteen. It recovered after stopping.
That shapes vial planning more than the arithmetic does. The evidence describes a course with an end, not an open schedule. Counting doses per vial against an endless interval describes something the studies did not do.
Every published amount scales with body weight
None of the human quantities on this page becomes a draw on its own. Each one needs a body weight to multiply by, because none of them was a flat figure.
The flat microgram numbers circulating for hexarelin are practice rather than published amounts. The human work also found the curve flattening while other hormones kept climbing. Going higher buys something nobody was aiming for.
The one vial in this family whose human course actually went under the skin
Most records in this file were studied in a vein and are sold for the skin. Hexarelin is the exception, and only halfway. The long course and the same-day schedule were both injected under the skin. What does not carry across is the basis of the number.

Half a route mismatch, and a rhythm that nearly matches
Two of the three studies on this page injected under the skin. The third pushed a dose into a vein. Its job was to map where the response curve flattens, not to treat anyone.
Three injections in a day bought what two did
One study here compared two injections in a day against three. It sampled hormones right through the day and into the night.
A vial strength that exists mostly on other calculators
Two strengths are generated here. A third turns up in listings. When this page was built nobody could find a seller behind it, and the listings were other people’s calculators.
The paper trail is on the ingredient, not on a product
FDA named the acetate salt in a warning letter to a broker that sells ingredients. The letter placed the salt among substances the agency treats as off-limits for compounding into medicines for people.

How the math works
Concentration — divide the amount in the vial by the water you added: mg ÷ mL = mg/mL. This tells you how many mg are in each mL.
Volume — the dose divided by that concentration: dose ÷ (mg/mL) = mL.
Units — on a U-100 syringe one unit is 0.01 mL, so mL × 100 = units. A U-40 unit is 0.025 mL, so the wrong barrel is a 2.5× error. That is why the calculator asks which one you have.
Rounding gap — the exact draw against the nearest syringe line: |exact − nearest line| ÷ exact × 100 = % difference.
