I get questions about reconstitution and research dosing constantly, so here's everything you need to know in one place.
The Most Important Thing to Understand
The amount of BAC water you use is entirely up to you. There is no single "correct" amount—you're just choosing how concentrated you want the peptide to be.
That said, there are practical guidelines that make the process much easier.
My Simple Rule of Thumb (for peptides under 30mg)
For every 1 mg of peptide, use 10 units of BAC water.
Example with a single peptide:
- 20 mg peptide
- 10 units per mg
- 20 × 10 = 200 units
- 200 units = 2 mL of BAC water
So you'd reconstitute a 20 mg vial with 2 mL of BAC water.
Important Vial Size Rule
For anything in a small vial that's over 30 mg, always use 3 mL of BAC water. That's simply the most that will fit in a standard small peptide vial.
Once you go past 30 mg, you're no longer choosing concentration freely—you're limited by physical vial volume.
What About Blends?
For blends, add up the total peptide amount first, then apply the same logic.
Example with a blend:
- 10 mg BPC-157
- 10 mg TB-500
- Total peptide = 20 mg
Now apply the rule:
- 20 mg × 10 units = 200 units
- 200 units = 2 mL BAC water
Blends are reconstituted based on total mg, not each peptide individually. If the total blend exceeds 30 mg in a small vial, use 3 mL.
Make It Even Easier With the Calculator
How to use it for a single peptide:
- Enter Peptide Vial Amount (mg)
- Enter BAC Water amount (mL)
- Enter your desired dose
- Select syringe size
- Hit Calculate
It tells you exactly how many units to draw.
Autofill Blend Feature:
There's also an autofill option for common blends. Select a blend, and it auto-fills the peptide amounts. Then you can calculate dosing based on one specific peptide in the blend.
Insulin Syringe Sizes Explained
You'll see three common options:
- 0.3 mL syringe = 30 units (best for small, precise doses)
- 0.5 mL syringe = 50 units
- 1.0 mL syringe = 100 units
The calculator automatically adjusts unit markings based on the syringe you choose.
Understanding the Results
After calculating, you'll see:
- How many units to draw
- Exact mL per dose
- How many doses per vial
- Per-dose breakdown (for blends)
No guessing. No mental math.

Final Takeaway
- BAC water amount is your choice (within vial limits)
- Under 30 mg: use 10 units per mg
- Over 30 mg in a small vial: use 3 mL BAC water
- Add up blends first
- Use the calculator to remove guesswork
