HGH (Somatropin) peptide calculator
A 6 mg HGH (Somatropin) vial mixed with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water holds 3 mg/ml. A 1 mg dose is 0.33 ml — 33 units on a U-100 insulin syringe — and the vial holds 6 doses of that size.
HGH (Somatropin) dosage chart: units to draw
Units on a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 ml) for HGH (Somatropin) doses from 330 mcg to 1.33 mg, by how much bacteriostatic water is in a 6 mg vial. The highlighted row is the 1 mg dose used above.
| Dose | 1 ml water 6 mg/ml | 2 ml water 3 mg/ml | 3 ml water 2 mg/ml | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 330 mcg | 5.5 u 0.055 ml | 11 u 0.11 ml | 17 u 0.17 ml | 18 |
| 1 mg | 17 u 0.17 ml | 33 u 0.33 ml | 50 u 0.50 ml | 6 |
| 1.33 mg | 22 u 0.22 ml | 44 u 0.44 ml | 67 u 0.67 ml | 4 |
A 33-unit draw fits a 0.5 ml insulin syringe (50-unit capacity) with 1-unit markings.
Unit math only, not a dosing recommendation. The dose range is what published protocols and trials describe; see the HGH (Somatropin) guide for sources.
How to reconstitute HGH (Somatropin)
- Wipe both vial stoppers with a fresh alcohol swab and let them dry.
- Draw 2 ml of bacteriostatic water into a syringe.
- Insert the needle at an angle into the HGH (Somatropin) vial and let the water run slowly down the inner wall — do not inject directly onto the powder.
- Do not shake. Gently swirl the vial until the peptide fully dissolves.
- Storage for HGH (Somatropin): Lyophilized refrigerated. Reconstituted: refrigerated 2–8 °C, use within 14–28 days depending on brand.
- For a 1 mg dose, draw to the 33-unit mark (0.33 ml) on a U-100 insulin syringe.
About HGH (Somatropin)
Human growth hormone (somatropin) is a recombinant version of endogenous GH. It is FDA approved for several deficiency and growth disorders and is widely studied for recovery, body composition, and anti-aging effects.
Half-life: Approximately 2–4 hours (recombinant, subcutaneous)
Typical dose range: 1–4 IU daily (approx 0.33–1.33 mg; 1 mg ≈ 3 IU)
Class: Recombinant human growth hormone (191-aa protein)
Regulatory status: FDA approved for GH deficiency, Turner syndrome, HIV wasting, and certain growth disorders (various brand names).

HGH (Somatropin) calculator FAQ
Is this a HGH (Somatropin) peptide calculator or a reconstitution calculator?
Both. This HGH (Somatropin) calculator converts vial strength, bacteriostatic-water volume, and target dose into milliliters and insulin-syringe units. It does not recommend a medical dose.
How much bacteriostatic water for a 6 mg HGH (Somatropin) vial?
This page is pre-filled with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water for a 6 mg HGH (Somatropin) vial because that is a common research ratio. You can adjust the water amount in the full calculator.
How many units is a 1 mg HGH (Somatropin) dose?
33 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, when a 6 mg vial is mixed with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water (3 mg/ml). That is 0.33 ml. With a different amount of water the unit count changes — the dose chart on this page lists 1 ml, 2 ml, 3 ml mixes.
How many doses are in a 6 mg HGH (Somatropin) vial?
6 doses of 1 mg. The number of doses depends only on vial strength and dose size — adding more or less water changes the volume of each draw, not how many draws the vial holds.
Does this HGH (Somatropin) dosage calculator give medical advice?
No. It only performs unit math. Dosing, titration, and whether HGH (Somatropin) is appropriate are clinical decisions that should be made with a licensed healthcare professional.
