Thymulin reconstitution calculator

How much bacteriostatic water to add to a Thymulin 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 is under 2 units — the U-100 syringe gradations make this hard to measure accurately. Consider adding more bacteriostatic water for a larger, more precise draw.

Draw on syringe

0.02 units

Volume to draw

0.2 µl

Concentration

5.00 mg/ml

Doses per vial

10000 doses

Draw to the 0.02-unit mark on a 100-unit insulin syringe.

A worked example

Take a 10 mg vial of Thymulin and the catalogue's typical dose of 1 mcg. Add 3 ml of bacteriostatic water and the vial holds 3.33 mg/ml, so one dose is 0.03 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

0.03 units = 1 mcg

At once daily over 8 weeks that is 56 doses and 0.056 mg in total — 1 vial of 10 mg. One vial covers about 10000 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 — Reconstituted: 2-8°C, use within 4 weeks

What the catalogue records

Typical dose: 1-10mcg per injection (research protocols)
Frequency: Daily during research protocols
Cycle duration: Varies by research protocol
Half-life: ~10 minutes (free form); extended with nanoparticle formulations
Storage: Reconstituted: 2-8°C, use within 4 weeks

Mixing a Thymulin vial

What you need

Bacteriostatic water
Insulin syringes
Alcohol swabs
Sterile vial

Steps

Ensure adequate zinc supplementation for activity
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water
Inject water slowly down vial wall
Gently swirl until dissolved
Store refrigerated at 2-8°C
Use within 4 weeks of reconstitution

Thymulin — 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.
