Question about BPC and reconstitution math

Posted by luis_b in Beginner Questions - 1 points, 2 comments.

Hey everyone. I've been lurking for a bit but finally decided to jump in. I'm looking at some BPC-157 for an old shoulder injury that just won't quit, but I'm honestly a bit nervous about the actual mixing part.

I've read a few guides on reconstitution, but the math always makes me second guess myself. I'm worried about messing up the concentration and accidentally hitting a way higher dose than I intended.

Does anyone have a simple way to double check their math before they draw it up? Like a specific app or just a logic check you use to make sure the mcg per unit is actually what you think it is.

I'm all for the recovery benefits, but I'm definitely the cautious type and don't want to wing it on my first time. If anyone has some tips for a total newbie on how to stay safe with the mixing process, I'd really appreciate it 🙋

• noor_zone2: I totally get the anxiety with the math, it is the easiest place to mess up. I keep a detailed spreadsheet for all my stacks so I can just look at a cell instead of doing mental math every time... fwiw, I usually just do the basic division of the total mcg divided by the amount of bacteriostatic water I added. For example, if you have 5mg and add 2ml, that is 2500mcg per ml, which means 25mcg per unit on a standard insulin syringe. I always double check by calculating the dose backwards before
• luis_b: Thanks, that spreadsheet trick sounds solid – I’ll set one up. I was actually planning on reconstituting 2 mg in 1 ml, so that’d be 2000 mcg/ml or 20 mcg per unit. I’ll do the “dose backwards” check like you do. 97 ml, or do you aim for the exact number?
