The Peptide Playbook
You’ve got the numbers. Now get the know-how.
This calculator answers one question. The Peptide Playbook answers the other hundred — reconstitution done right, storage that protects your vials, timing, stacking, and the details nobody tells you until you’ve wasted one. Everything I know, organized so you can actually use it.
Educational and informational only. Not medical advice. This tool performs arithmetic on the numbers you enter and does not tell you what to take. The compounds referenced are, in most cases, not FDA-approved for human use and are sold as research chemicals not for human consumption; laws vary by location. Always confirm your protocol with a qualified physician and start at the lowest effective dose. You must be 18 or older to use this tool.

How it works (worked example)
Say your vial is 5 mg, you add 3 mL of bacteriostatic water, and you want a 250 mcg dose.
First the tool finds your concentration: 5 mg ÷ 3 mL = 1.67 mg/mL. Then the volume for your dose: 0.25 mg ÷ 1.67 mg/mL = 0.15 mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe, 1 mL = 100 units, so 0.15 mL is 15 units. Your 5 mg vial holds 20 doses at that size.
The rule that matters: "units" is just how far you pull the plunger, it is not your dose. Your dose only makes sense once you know the vial size and the water you added. That is exactly what this tool locks in for you.
