Hey Everyone! Today I have a tutorial on how to reconstitute 50mg of 5-amino-1MQ.
People get confused when these peptides come in a 3ml vial with a higher mg amount than 30mg. This is especially common with 5-amino-1MQ since it often comes in 50mg doses!
Drop any questions below, and I'm happy to help! 🫶
🧮 QUICK RECAP: THE "ADD 0" METHOD
For standard peptides, I normally use this simple approach:
- For every 1mg of peptide, add 10 units of bacteriostatic water
- Just add a zero to your mg amount = units of bac water to add
Examples:
- 5mg peptide = 50 units bac water
- 10mg peptide = 100 units bac water
- 20mg peptide = 200 units bac water
Why this works: Your solution will always be 1mg per 10 units, making dosing super easy!
⚠️ BUT WAIT - 50MG IN A 3ML VIAL IS DIFFERENT!
Here's where people get tripped up with 50mg 5-amino-1MQ:
If you tried the "add 0" method with 50mg, you'd need 500 units of bac water... but your 3ml vial only holds 300 units maximum!
THE SOLUTION FOR 50MG PEPTIDE IN A 3ML VIAL:
✅ Add 300 units (3ml) of bac water - this is the max your vial can hold
✅ Use a peptide calculator to figure out your dosing
Here's the math:
- 50mg peptide in 3ml vial + 300 units bac water
- 300 units ÷ 50mg = 6 units per 1mg
Dosing Examples:
- Want 10mg? Draw 60 units (10mg × 6 units/mg)
- Want 15mg? Draw 90 units (15mg × 6 units/mg)
- Want 20mg? Draw 120 units (20mg × 6 units/mg)
🎯 STEP-BY-STEP: RECONSTITUTING YOUR 50MG PEPTIDE
What you need:
- 50mg 5-amino-1MQ vial (3ml size)
- Bacteriostatic water (3ml)
- Insulin syringe(s)
- Alcohol wipes
Process:
- Clean everything with alcohol wipes (vial tops, your hands)
- Draw 300 units (3ml) of bac water into insulin syringe(s) Pro tip: You may need multiple syringes since most hold 100 units max
- Inject slowly into the peptide vial Aim for the side of the vial, NOT directly at the powder Let it drip down slowly
- Never shake - gently swirl if needed
- Let it dissolve - Usually takes 1-5 minutes
- Store in the fridge once reconstituted
📱 USE A PEPTIDE CALCULATOR
Enter:
- Peptide amount: 50mg
- Bac water: 300 units
- Desired dose: (whatever you want)
It will tell you exactly how many units to draw!
🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR 50MG PEPTIDES IN 3ML VIALS
✅ 3ml vials max out at 300 units capacity
✅ For 50mg peptides in 3ml vials, add 300 units bac water (not 500!)
✅ With 50mg + 300 units = 6 units per 1mg
✅ Always inject slowly, aim for the side of the vial
✅ Use a calculator to make dosing foolproof
✅ Store reconstituted peptides in the fridge
