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.

Sermorelin questions

How many units is 100 mcg of Sermorelin?

With a 3 mg vial mixed with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water, 100 mcg is 3.3 units (0.033 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 3 mg Sermorelin vial?

1 mL of bacteriostatic water is common, which makes 3,000 mcg 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 Sermorelin last?

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

What is Sermorelin?

Sermorelin is a lab-made copy of the first 29 amino acids of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It was approved as Geref for children’s growth hormone problems, but the branded product was discontinued in 2008. What’s sold now is compounded or unregulated.

What the research shows

It raises growth hormone for a short time; it lasts minutes in the body. Its use for ‘anti-ageing’ isn’t supported by good trials. It’s banned in tested sport.

Units

Vials are labelled in milligrams and doses are quoted in micrograms. Vials come in unusual sizes (3, 6, 9 and 15 mg), so match the calculator to your label.
