The Easiest Way to Reconstitute Blended Peptides

Happy Friday!

After some lengthy philosophical emails, I'd like to return to some basic peptide discussions.

Today’s email is probably better explained via video, but I’ll give it my best shot (pun intended) in writing.

I get this question all the time:

Once you see it the simple way, it clicks forever.

Think of a peptide vial like a packet of powdered lemonade.

The powder itself does nothing until you add water.

Add the right amount of bacteriostatic water, swirl gently, and suddenly you can measure precise servings.

Peptides are the same.

Below is my simple “kitchen math” approach, followed by three worked examples using blends that many of you have.

• Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin 6mg/2mg

• GLOW Blend (GHK-Cu 50mg, BPC-157 10mg, TB-500 10mg)

• Ipamorelin/CJC-1295 no DAC 5mg/5mg.

I’ll also show exactly how many insulin syringe units to pull for common doses.

Step 1: Add the water

Use bacteriostatic water. Inject it slowly down the inside wall of the vial and swirl (do not shake). Use this easy rule for how much water to add:

• Total peptide < 5 mg: add 1 ml

• Total peptide 6–10 mg: add 2 ml

• Total peptide > 10 mg: add 3 ml

NOTE: This is just my best practices. Just like lemonade, you can always add as much or little water as you see fit.

This does not change how much peptide you have.

It only changes how much liquid corresponds to a given dose, which makes measuring easier.

Insulin syringe primer: a U-100 insulin syringe has 100 units in 1.0 ml.

So:

• 1 ml = 100 units

• 0.1 ml = 10 units

• 0.01 ml = 1 unit

From here, it’s just plug and play.

Step 2: Understand blend ratios once, then forget the stress

A blend has a fixed ratio baked in.

Every drop you draw contains the same percentages as the label.

You do not dose individual components separately.

You dose total milligrams (or micrograms), and the internal split takes care of itself.

• Example: a 6mg/2mg Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin vial has 8 mg total.

  The ratio is 6:2, which simplifies to 3:1. Every draw is 75% Tesamorelin and 25% Ipamorelin.

If you want to target one component exactly, you can, but remember you will always pick up the others in the same ratio.

I’ll show you the exact unit marks so you do not have to do any math in the moment.

Examples

1) Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin 6 mg / 2 mg (Total 8 mg)

Reconstitution: add 2 ml bacteriostatic water.

Concentration: 8 mg ÷ 2 ml = 4.0 mg/ml.

Per insulin unit:

• 1 unit = 0.01 ml → 4.0 mg/ml × 0.01 ml = 0.04 mg total = 40 mcg total

• Split by the blend ratio (3:1):

  • Tesamorelin per unit: 75% of 40 mcg = 30 mcg

  • Ipamorelin per unit: 25% of 40 mcg = 10 mcg

Common pulls and what you get:

• 25 units (0.25 ml): 1,000 mcg total = 750 mcg Tesamorelin + 250 mcg Ipamorelin

• 33–34 units (~0.33–0.34 ml): ~1,320–1,360 mcg total ≈ ~1,000 mcg Tesamorelin + ~330–340 mcg Ipamorelin

• 20 units (0.20 ml): 800 mcg total = 600 mcg Tesamorelin + 200 mcg Ipamorelin

How I typically administer:

• Night protocol for growth-hormone support: draw 33 units for ~1 mg Tesamorelin accompanied by ~0.33 mg Ipamorelin. Subcutaneous injection in abdominal fat before bed. Rotate sites.

2) GLOW Blend: GHK-Cu 50 mg + BPC-157 10 mg + TB-500 10 mg (Total 70 mg)

Reconstitution: add 3 ml bacteriostatic water.

Concentration: 70 mg ÷ 3 ml = 23.33 mg/ml.

Per insulin unit:

• 1 unit = 0.01 ml → 23.33 mg/ml × 0.01 ml = 0.2333 mg total = 233 mcg total

Blend ratio:

• GHK-Cu = 50/70 = 71.43%

• BPC-157 = 10/70 = 14.29%

• TB-500 = 10/70 = 14.29%

Per unit detail:

• GHK-Cu per unit: 71.43% of 233 mcg ≈ 167 mcg

• BPC-157 per unit: 14.29% of 233 mcg ≈ 33 mcg

• TB-500 per unit: 14.29% of 233 mcg ≈ 33 mcg

Common pulls and what you get:

• 5 units (0.05 ml): ~1.166 mg total ≈ 0.833 mg GHK-Cu + 0.166 mg BPC-157 + 0.166 mg TB-500

• 8 units (0.08 ml): ~1.866 mg total ≈ 1.333 mg GHK-Cu + 0.266 mg BPC-157 + 0.266 mg TB-500

• 10 units (0.10 ml): ~2.333 mg total ≈ 1.667 mg GHK-Cu + 0.333 mg BPC-157 + 0.333 mg TB-500

How I typically administer:

• For tissue remodeling, recovery support, or cosmetic skin targets, I like small daily micro-doses such as 5–10 units subcutaneously near the target area, then evaluate response over 4–8 weeks. Always rotate sites and go slow. You can split doses across multiple micro-sites if needed.

3) Ipamorelin / CJC-1295 no DAC 5 mg / 5 mg (Total 10 mg)

Reconstitution Option A (my default for easy unit math): add 2 ml bacteriostatic water.

Concentration: 10 mg ÷ 2 ml = 5.0 mg/ml.

Per unit: 5.0 mg/ml × 0.01 ml = 0.05 mg = 50 mcg total.

Since it is a 1:1 blend, each unit has 25 mcg Ipamorelin + 25 mcg CJC-1295.

Common pulls and what you get (Option A):

• 4 units: 200 mcg total = 100 mcg of each

• 8 units: 400 mcg total = 200 mcg of each

• 10 units: 500 mcg total = 250 mcg of each

Reconstitution Option B (if you prefer finer control per unit): add 3 ml.

Concentration: 10 mg ÷ 3 ml = 3.33 mg/ml.

Per unit: ~33 mcg total = ~16.7 mcg of each.

So 15 units ≈ 500 mcg total = 250 mcg of each.

How I typically administer:

• AM and pre-bed pulses are common. Many do 200–300 mcg of each per dose (meaning 200-300mcg in the AM AND PM). With Option A, 8–12 units covers that range cleanly. Subcutaneous injection in abdominal fat, rotate sites, and keep consistent timing.

Safety basics

• Sanitize: Wipe the vial stopper with alcohol. Use a clean needle for water and a new one for each injection.

• Reconstitute gently: Aim the water at the glass wall and swirl, do not shake hard.

• Label the vial: Write your reconstitution date and water volume on the vial.

• Store cold: Refrigerate after reconstitution unless otherwise directed.

• Rotate sites: Abdomen is easiest. Move at least 1–2 inches from the last spot to reduce irritation.

• Subcutaneous depth: You are going just under the skin, not into muscle for most peptides.

Summary

• 8 mg in 2 ml (Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin 6/2):

  • 1 unit = 40 mcg total = 30 mcg Tesa + 10 mcg Ipa

  • 25 units = 1.00 mg total (0.75 mg Tesa + 0.25 mg Ipa)

  • 33 units ≈ 1.32 mg total (~1.0 mg Tesa + ~0.33 mg Ipa)

• 70 mg in 3 ml (GLOW):

  • 1 unit ≈ 233 mcg total

  • Of that per unit: ~167 mcg GHK-Cu, ~33 mcg BPC-157, ~33 mcg TB-500

  • 5–10 units is already a meaningful dose for most use-cases

• 10 mg in 2 ml (Ipa/CJC no DAC 1:1):

  • 1 unit = 50 mcg total = 25 mcg each

  • 8 units = 400 mcg total = 200 mcg each

  • 10 units = 500 mcg total = 250 mcg each

Final Thoughts

You do not need to be a math person to do this correctly.

Pick a reasonable water amount from the simple rule, remember that 1 ml equals 100 units.

The blend ratio handles itself inside every draw.

If you need a little more or less of a given component, pick the blend whose ratio already matches your goal rather than fighting the math.

If you follow the examples above, you can reconstitute any blended vial, know exactly what is in each unit you draw, and administer confidently using the protocols I outlined.

Your routine becomes smooth, repeatable, and stress free.

To your health,
