Mechano Growth Factor peptide calculator
A 2 mg Mechano Growth Factor vial mixed with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water holds 1 mg/ml. A 100 mcg dose is 0.10 ml — 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe — and the vial holds 20 doses of that size.
Mechano Growth Factor dosage chart: units to draw
Units on a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 ml) for Mechano Growth Factor doses from 50 mcg to 200 mcg, by how much bacteriostatic water is in a 2 mg vial. The highlighted row is the 100 mcg dose used above.
| Dose | 1 ml water 2 mg/ml | 2 ml water 1 mg/ml | 3 ml water 0.667 mg/ml | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 mcg | 2.5 u 0.025 ml | 5 u 0.050 ml | 7.5 u 0.075 ml | 40 |
| 100 mcg | 5 u 0.050 ml | 10 u 0.10 ml | 15 u 0.15 ml | 20 |
| 150 mcg | 7.5 u 0.075 ml | 15 u 0.15 ml | 23 u 0.23 ml | 13 |
| 200 mcg | 10 u 0.10 ml | 20 u 0.20 ml | 30 u 0.30 ml | 10 |
A 10-unit draw fits comfortably on a 0.3 ml insulin syringe (30-unit capacity), whose 1-unit (often half-unit) markings are easier to read than the 2-unit ticks on a 1 ml syringe.
Unit math only, not a dosing recommendation. The dose range is what published protocols and trials describe; see the Mechano Growth Factor guide for sources.
How to reconstitute Mechano Growth Factor
- 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 Mechano Growth Factor 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 Mechano Growth Factor: Lyophilized: refrigerated. Reconstituted: refrigerated, use within 7–14 days (short window — MGF is unstable).
- For a 100 mcg dose, draw to the 10-unit mark (0.10 ml) on a U-100 insulin syringe.
About Mechano Growth Factor
Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is a splice variant of IGF-1 (IGF-1Ec) produced locally in skeletal muscle in response to mechanical loading. Synthetic MGF is researched for targeted muscle-recovery and hypertrophy signaling.
Half-life: Approximately 5–7 minutes (very short)
Typical dose range: 100–200 mcg per injection, typically immediately post-workout
Class: IGF-1 splice variant (muscle)
Regulatory status: Not FDA approved. Research use only in the US.

The peptide dose converter moves a dose between mcg, mg and IU, and the Mechano Growth Factor half-life chart shows how concentration accumulates across a dosing cadence.

Mechano Growth Factor calculator FAQ
Is this a Mechano Growth Factor peptide calculator or a reconstitution calculator?
Both. This Mechano Growth Factor 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 2 mg Mechano Growth Factor vial?
This page is pre-filled with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water for a 2 mg Mechano Growth Factor vial because that is a common research ratio. You can adjust the water amount in the full calculator.
How many units is a 100 mcg Mechano Growth Factor dose?
10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, when a 2 mg vial is mixed with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water (1 mg/ml). That is 0.10 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 2 mg Mechano Growth Factor vial?
20 doses of 100 mcg. 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 Mechano Growth Factor dosage calculator give medical advice?
No. It only performs unit math. Dosing, titration, and whether Mechano Growth Factor is appropriate are clinical decisions that should be made with a licensed healthcare professional.
