Peptide Dosage Charts

A peptide dosage chart is the fastest way to answer one question: for my dose, how many units do I draw? Each chart below lays out the mg-to-units conversions for each peptide. Charts are the quick-reference companion to our peptide calculator.

GLP-1 & Weight-Loss Dosage Charts

The GLP-1 class and its newer multi-receptor relatives are dosed in milligrams and titrated over weeks. These charts convert each standard dose into syringe units at the common compounded concentrations.

Research & Recovery Peptide Dosage Charts

These peptides come as lyophilized powder and are reconstituted with bacteriostatic water. Each chart shows the units to draw for common vial sizes and water volumes.

How to Read a Peptide Dosage Chart

Every dosage chart works the same way. You find your dose down the left side, find your concentration (or vial + water combination) across the top, and the cell where they meet is the number of units to draw on a U-100 insulin syringe. The underlying formula is always the same: units = (dose ÷ concentration) × 100, based on the U-100 standard where 100 units = 1 mL.

Here is a simplified example for a 10 mg vial reconstituted with different amounts of bacteriostatic water:

Dose 1 mL water
(10 mg/mL)		 2 mL water
(5 mg/mL)
2 mg 20 units 40 units
5 mg 50 units 100 units

Notice how the same dose is a different number of units depending on concentration — that is the single most important thing to understand. A 5 mg dose is 50 units at 10 mg/mL but a full 100 units at 5 mg/mL. This is exactly why you should never reuse someone else’s unit count unless their vial and water match yours, and why each compound has its own chart.

Chart vs. Calculator: Which Should You Use?

Use a dosage chart when your setup matches a common, standard configuration and you just want a fast lookup — they are ideal for planning, printing, or double-checking at a glance. Use the calculator when your vial size, concentration, or water volume is non-standard, or when you want the exact figure for a dose that falls between the chart’s rows. The two are designed to work together: browse all peptide calculators for the interactive tools, or start from the main reconstitution calculator.

Dosage Chart FAQ

What is a peptide dosage chart?

A peptide dosage chart is a reference table that converts a dose in milligrams or micrograms into the number of units to draw on an insulin syringe, across the common concentrations and vial sizes for that compound. It lets you look up your number instantly instead of recalculating each time.

Why is the same dose a different number of units on different charts?

Because units measure volume, not dose. The number of units depends on concentration — how much peptide is in each millilitre. A higher concentration means fewer units for the same dose, and a lower concentration means more. That is why each compound and each reconstitution has its own chart.

What syringe do these charts assume?

All of our charts assume a standard U-100 insulin syringe, where 100 units equals 1 millilitre. Do not use a U-40 syringe with these charts — its scale is different and would give the wrong dose.

Should I use the chart or the calculator?

Use the chart for a quick lookup when your setup matches a standard configuration, and the calculator when your vial, concentration, or water volume is custom or falls between the chart’s values. The calculator gives an exact figure for any combination.

Are these dosage charts medical advice?

No. The charts perform a mathematical conversion only. They do not set your dose, confirm any dose is safe or appropriate for you, or account for your individual circumstances. Always confirm your dose and concentration with a qualified healthcare professional before drawing or injecting anything.
