Epithalon: which line to draw to

Enter your Epithalon vial amount, the water you added and your dose. Epithalon is dosed in mg; the syringe shows exactly where to stop. New to this?

What do these boxes mean?

In the vial: The amount of powder in the vial before you add anything, e.g. “5 mg”. It’s on the label or the box.
Water added: How much bacteriostatic water you mixed in. It doesn’t change how much peptide you get, only how strong the mix is. More water makes each dose a bigger amount that’s easier to measure.
Your dose: How much peptide you want per injection, from your prescription or plan. Not the number of units on the syringe; that’s what we work out.
Syringe: Check the packet: 1 mL, 0.5 mL or 0.3 mL (sometimes written 100, 50 or 30 units). All are U-100: 100 units is 1 mL. Smaller syringes measure small doses more accurately.

Epithalon units to mg chart

Syringe units on any U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 mL), worked out by the same engine as the calculator. Your own vial and water may differ: use the calculator for your numbers.

10 mg vial + 2 mL water (5 mg per mL)
Dose	Units	mL
5 mg	100	1
10 mg	More than a 1 mL syringe

20 mg vial + 4 mL water (5 mg per mL)
Dose	Units	mL
5 mg	100	1
10 mg	More than a 1 mL syringe

50 mg vial + 5 mL water (10 mg per mL)

5 mg	50	0.5
10 mg	100	1

Epithalon questions

How many units is 5 mg of Epithalon?

With a 10 mg vial mixed with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, 5 mg is 100 units (1 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. A different vial size or amount of water changes this, so check it with your own numbers.

How much water do I add to a 10 mg Epithalon vial?

2 mL of bacteriostatic water is common, which makes 5 mg per mL. More water makes each dose a bigger amount that is easier to measure; it doesn't change how much is in the vial.

How long does mixed Epithalon last?

Once mixed, keep it at fridge temperature, 2–8°C and use it within 28 days. Unmixed powder: freezer −20°c.

What is Epithalon?

Epithalon (or epitalon) is a lab-made peptide of four amino acids, based on an extract of the pineal gland. It was developed and studied mainly by one research group in Russia.

What the research shows

It’s claimed to switch on telomerase, an enzyme that maintains the ends of chromosomes. Lab studies report that effect in cells. Whether it does anything useful in people isn’t known, and the human studies haven’t been repeated independently.

Units

Doses online are in milligrams, often as short daily courses. Those schedules come from the original Russian papers, not modern trials.
