DSIP reconstitution calculator

How much bacteriostatic water to add to a DSIP vial, what concentration that gives, and how many units to draw on a U-100 insulin syringe for your dose.

Vial mass

The total mg of compound in the vial as labelled by the supplier.

Bacteriostatic water

How much sterile bac water you'll add to reconstitute the vial.

Desired single dose

How much of the compound you want to take per injection.

Syringe size

U-100 syringes use the standard 100 units = 1 ml gradation.

Draw on syringe

2 units

Volume to draw

0.020 ml

Concentration

5.00 mg/ml

Doses per vial

100 doses

Draw to the 2-unit mark on a 100-unit insulin syringe.

A worked example

Take a 10 mg vial of DSIP and the catalogue's typical dose of 100 mcg. Add 3 ml of bacteriostatic water and the vial holds 3.33 mg/ml, so one dose is 3 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

3 units = 100 mcg

At once daily over 2 weeks that is 14 doses and 1.4 mg in total — 1 vial of 10 mg. One vial covers about 100 days at that rate, which is longer than the ~28 days a reconstituted peptide keeps in a fridge — a smaller vial wastes less. Storage on record — 2-8°C refrigerated

What the catalogue records

Typical dose: 100-300mcg
Frequency: 1x daily
Cycle duration: 5-10 days
Half-life: ~15 minutes (in vitro)
Storage: 2-8°C refrigerated

Mixing a DSIP vial

What you need

DSIP peptide vial (1-5mg typical)
Bacteriostatic water (1-2mL)
Insulin syringes (0.3-0.5mL)
Alcohol swabs
Sterile needle for mixing

Steps

Clean vial tops with alcohol swab and let dry completely
For 1mg vial, add 1mL bacteriostatic water (creates 1000mcg/mL)
Inject water slowly down vial side to prevent foaming
Gently roll between palms - do not shake
Solution should be clear and colorless
For 100mcg dose, draw 0.1mL (10 units on insulin syringe)
Store reconstituted peptide in refrigerator immediately

Where this goes next

DSIP — mechanism, dosing and safety — what it is, what the evidence says, and what it interacts with.
Build a cycle around it — the cycle builder runs this same arithmetic across every compound you add and totals the vials.
The general reconstitution calculator — the same tool with nothing prefilled.
