Epithalon Dosage Calculator: Reconstitution and Units
To calculate Epithalon dosage, divide your target dose (mg) by the vial concentration. For a 10 mg vial with 2 mL BAC water: concentration is 5 mg/mL. A 5 mg dose equals 1.0 mL (100 U-100 units). A 10 mg dose equals 2.0 mL (200 U-100 units) — split into multiple injections if needed.

| Vial (mg) | BAC water (mL) | Concentration | Dose (mg) | Draw (mL) | U-100 units |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 2.5 mg | 0.5 mL | 50 units |
| 10 mg | 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 5 mg | 1 mL | 100 units |
| 10 mg | 5 mL | 2 mg/mL | 5 mg | 2.5 mL | 250 units |
| 10 mg | 5 mL | 2 mg/mL | 2 mg | 1 mL | 100 units |
How to Calculate Epithalon Dosage
Three steps convert any vial and BAC water combination into the exact volume to draw on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Step 1 — Calculate concentration (mg/mL)
Divide the total peptide in the vial (mg) by the volume of BAC water you added (mL). For example: a 5 mg Epithalon vial reconstituted with 2 mL BAC water gives 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5 mg/mL.Step 2 — Calculate draw volume (mL)
Divide your target dose (mg) by the concentration (mg/mL). For a 0.5 mg dose at 2.5 mg/mL: 0.5 ÷ 2.5 = 0.2 mL. This is the exact volume to draw into the syringe.Step 3 — Convert to U-100 syringe units
Multiply the draw volume (mL) by 100. For 0.2 mL: 0.2 × 100 = 20 U-100 units. Read this number on the unit markings of a standard insulin syringe.
Dosage Formula
Concentration formula
Concentration (mg/mL) = Vial mg ÷ BAC water mLDraw volume formula
Draw volume (mL) = Dose (mg) ÷ Concentration (mg/mL)U-100 syringe units
U-100 units = Draw volume (mL) × 100These three formulas apply to any Epithalon vial, regardless of size. U-100 is the standard insulin-syringe scale: 100 units = 1 mL.

Example Epithalon Calculations
Step-by-step worked examples using common vial sizes. Results are for illustrating the math only.
5 mg dose from 10 mg / 2 mL vial
- Vial: 10 mg | BAC water: 2 mL | Target dose: 5 mg
- Concentration: 10 ÷ 2 = 5 mg/mL
- Draw volume: 5 ÷ 5 = 1 mL
- U-100 units: 1 × 100 = 100 units
2 mg dose from 10 mg / 5 mL vial
- Vial: 10 mg | BAC water: 5 mL | Target dose: 2 mg
- Concentration: 10 ÷ 5 = 2 mg/mL
- Draw volume: 2 ÷ 2 = 1 mL
- U-100 units: 1 × 100 = 100 units
Epithalon Reconstitution Guide
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) studied for telomere-related pathways. It is typically supplied as a lyophilised powder in 10 mg vials. Higher per-dose volumes are common — consider reconstituting with a larger BAC water volume to keep draw volumes manageable.
- Swab both vial stoppers with alcohol swabs and allow to air dry.
- For 5 mg doses: add 2 mL BAC water to a 10 mg vial (5 mg/mL) — each 5 mg dose = 1 mL.
- For smaller draw volumes: add 5 mL BAC water to a 10 mg vial (2 mg/mL) — each 2 mg dose = 1 mL.
- Inject BAC water slowly along the glass wall. Gently swirl until dissolved. Do not shake.
- Refrigerate at 2–8 °C and use within 4–6 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard Epithalon reconstitution?
Common setups: 10 mg + 2 mL BAC water = 5 mg/mL (5 mg dose = 1 mL = 100 units), or 10 mg + 5 mL BAC water = 2 mg/mL (2 mg dose = 1 mL = 100 units). Choose based on your target dose.
How many doses per Epithalon vial?
A 10 mg vial at 5 mg/mL provides 2 doses of 5 mg each. At 2 mg/mL it provides 5 doses of 2 mg each.
What are U-100 syringe units?
U-100 is the standard scale for insulin syringes. 100 units = 1.0 mL. That means 10 units = 0.1 mL, 50 units = 0.5 mL. Multiply any draw volume in mL by 100 to get the U-100 units reading.
Do I need to recalculate if I change the amount of BAC water?
Yes. Changing BAC water volume changes the concentration (mg/mL), which changes the draw volume for the same mg dose. Always recalculate using: concentration = vial mg ÷ BAC water mL, then draw volume = dose mg ÷ concentration.
What is Epithalon researched for?
Epithalon is a bioregulatory tetrapeptide studied for its effects on telomerase activity and telomere elongation in preclinical models. It is a research compound only.
What is Epithalon's mechanism of action?
Epithalon is thought to activate telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length. Longer telomeres are associated with cellular longevity in preclinical research.
