How-to: dosing and stacking math
The how-to pages on this site are about one thing: the arithmetic between a vial and a syringe. Converting a dose to syringe units, reading a syringe for a given amount, working a pre-mixed blend one component at a time, and keeping a stack sheet. Each page describes how the calculation is done; none of them is an instruction to use any substance. Research use only.
Tools for the arithmetic
Calculator
Peptide Reconstitution Calculator
A dose to syringe units: vial amount and water volume to concentration, then the amount you enter to a U-100 reading, with the formula shown.
Calculator
Peptide Blend Calculator
Pre-mixed vials, one component at a time from the vial's own split — the label's total cannot be used for any single peptide.
Tool
Peptide Tracker
Records vial size, water volume and units drawn so every entry is reconstructable; weekly grid and calendar export. Nothing uploaded.
Dosing and stacking math, page by page
The reference pages that walk through the calculation rather than run it.
Peptide Reconstitution Calculator Guide
Field by field: what the vial amount, the water volume and the target amount do to the concentration and the syringe reading.
Reconstitution Math Examples
Worked from label to syringe, step by step — the same dose at several concentrations, and the mistakes the arithmetic is prone to.
Peptide Reconstitution Chart
Reading a syringe for a given amount: the concentration every common vial size reaches, what one unit holds, and the conversion back to units.
Printable
Peptide Stack Sheet
The printable stack reference: named-blend components, the worked blend example and a blank multi-compound log.
Storing peptides, shelf life, travelling with vials, supplies and the general mixing procedure are documented on Medibact: How to store peptides and How to reconstitute peptides (on Medibact).

Pillar F — conversions (mcg to units)
Mcg to Units: Micrograms on a U-100 Syringe, Both Ways
Micrograms to U-100 syringe units and back at the concentrations peptide vials produce, what one unit holds, and the one FDA label that printed the table.

How Sermorelin Is Injected: Route, Timing and Units
How sermorelin is injected, from the record: the approved product's route and bedtime timing, the sites compounders name, and the volumes in units.

Pillar C — how-to (glutathione injection)
How Glutathione Is Injected: IV, IM, Under the Skin, Volumes
How injectable glutathione is given, from the record: no FDA label, the routes trials and compounders state, why volume decides the route, and the outbreak.

Pillar D — how-to about dosing (Zepbound vial)
Zepbound Vial: Drawing a Dose With a Syringe
How the Zepbound single-dose and multi-dose vials are drawn per the label: 0.5 or 0.6 mL, the syringe it names, the air step, and what a misread line costs.

Pillar D — how-to about dosing (Zepbound KwikPen)
Zepbound KwikPen: How the 4-Dose Pen Delivers a Dose
The Zepbound KwikPen per the label: four 0.6 mL doses, six strengths, priming before each dose, the dial-to-stop rule and what the leftover liquid is.

Pillar F — conversions (mcg to mL)
Mcg to mL: Micrograms to Millilitres for Peptide Vials
Mcg and mL measure different things, so the conversion needs the concentration. The formula, tables for common amounts and vials, and a labelled example.

Pillar D — how-to (doses per vial)
Doses per Vial: How Many Doses in a 10 mg Vial
How many doses a peptide vial holds: the one division, tables for tirzepatide, semaglutide, retatrutide and BPC-157 vials, and what the labelled devices state.

Pillar D — how-to (inject bpc-157)
How BPC-157 Is Injected: Routes, Sites and the Record
How BPC-157 is injected, from the record: the routes trials register, the one knee-injection chart review, an IV pilot in two people, site claims checked.

Pillar F — dose arithmetic (mounjaro click chart)
Mounjaro Pen Clicks: The KwikPen Click Chart Checked
Mounjaro KwikPen click charts checked against the label: 0.6 mL per dose, mg per click at every pen strength, the priming clicks and the leftover medicine.

Where to Inject NAD+: Routes, Sites and Volumes
Where NAD+ is injected, from the record: no label, one trial comparing routes, what compounders state, and why the volume decides the route.
