The word "peptide" might sound scary at first. Is it something unnatural? Can it hurt us? The truth is that peptides are naturally present in our bodies. They are chains of amino acids, also called the building blocks of proteins, that participate in many crucial psychological and biological processes. Oxytocin, glucagon, and insulin are examples of peptide hormones; however, other peptides can be found in our brain, kidneys, and respiratory system, as well as in antibiotics and vaccines.

The structure of peptides is quite simple: the amino acids are linked by powerful peptide bonds, and some peptides link to one another to create polypeptides. If the molecular mass of a polypeptide exceeds 10,000 daltons (10 kg/mol), it is considered a protein.

Our body produces peptides to function, but they can also treat health conditions, such as diabetes, and some people supplement them to improve certain body functions. Let's look at some of the most popular applications of peptides, and then our peptide mixing calculator will tell you everything about dosage calculation.

1. Peptides in medicine

Although it is a relatively new practice, peptides have been gaining momentum in medicine. According to a paper by Lei and Nanxi Wang, thanks to technological innovation, this last decade saw an explosion in the use of peptides in treatments. More and more of these short amino acid chains are being studied, analyzed, modified, and produced to achieve the best results possible. Today, peptides are used, among others, in:

• Oncology;
• Urology;
• Metabolic applications;
• Cardiovascular applications; and
• Microbial applications.

For example, GLP-1 is a peptide hormone that inhibits glucagon secretion, reduces appetite, and promotes insulin production. Thanks to these properties, it can treat type 2 diabetes. Please be advised that, as with any treatment, peptides can have side effects. However, most of these are limited to bruising and bleeding at the injection site, headache, and dizziness.

2. Peptides for weight loss

Many people use peptides for weight loss. In weight loss, the role of peptides is a by-product of other studies. Exactly, this purpose was discovered by mistake!

During diabetes studies, researchers noticed that many people were losing weight, and upon looking more in-depth, they realized that many of the effects of GLP-1 were promoting weight loss.

Experts warn that as with any other "trend", peptides must be combined with a healthy diet and exercise to produce long-lasting effects. Still, the reduced appetite and feeling of fullness are definitely a step forward.

Here are some of the peptides used to lose weight:

• Semaglutide (Ozempic);
• Liraglutide (Saxenda); and
• Tirzepatide (Zepbound).

3. Peptides for muscle growth

What are peptides used for in the fitness world? More and more gym-goers and bodybuilders get interested in using peptides. The main difference is that peptides stimulate the production of hormones, unlike steroids, which unnaturally increase the amount of hormones in the body.

What is peptide therapy in fitness?

The role of peptides in fitness includes, but is not limited to:

• Fat loss;
• Increase of secretion of growth hormones;
• Improvement of protein synthesis; and
• Improvement of muscle recovery.

The internet might initially flood you with information, which is why we created this comprehensive guide: to present all the essential information in a nutshell.

1. How do I buy peptides?

   Most peptides can only be bought on prescription; others, such as collagen, creatine, and BPC-157, can be purchased online or over the counter. They come in small vials, usually 5 or 10 mg, and are lyophilized (freeze-dried) to last longer. All you need to do is rehydrate them, a process called reconstitution of a peptide.

2. What can I use to reconstitute lyophilized peptides?

   The most popular substance used to reconstitute peptides is bacteriostatic water or sterile water. Some people like to add distilled water to this mix.

3. How do I reconstitute peptides?

   First, you must calculate the appropriate dosage using our peptide dosage calculator so that this process goes as smoothly as possible.

   If you're not sure how much of the peptide solution you should inject, we've prepared a table where you will find the dosage of the AOD 9604 and BPC 157 peptides, among others:

We recommend you head over to Muscle Brawn for an in-depth explanation and videos on reconstituting peptides.

Do not implement any peptide treatment by yourself. Always consult a healthcare provider before injecting supplements. Seek professional advice on types of peptides and dosage before starting a cycle to avoid potential risks and side effects.

There is nothing easier than using our peptide dosage calculator. Let's see the steps:

1. Determine the capacity of your vial. Let's say you've bought some AOD 9604 peptide, and now you want to calculate the dosage. You look at the label and see there are 5 mg of lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptide in the vial. Therefore, you will insert 5 mg in the first field.

2. Decide on the quantity of bacteriostatic water. Most people go for 1 ml, but this can vary. Let's input 1 ml into the second field of the peptide dosage calculator.

3. If your dose is expressed in terms of body mass, open the Total amount of peptide section, check the box that appears just under the title, and input your weight, as well as the dosage per kg of body mass. The daily dosage will be calculated automatically.

   Don't worry about conversions! Our peptide mixing calculator has a built-in converter. All you have to do is click on the unit and choose. However, if weight conversion is something you would like to explore more in-depth, go to our weight calculator and convert between imperial and metric units as you please!

   If the dosage is simply expressed in mcg or mg per day, you can input this value directly into the third field of the calculator.

   Then, if you wish to discover the dosage in terms of body weight, open the second section and input your weight. The dosage per kg will appear just below.

4. Look at the fourth field of the peptide mixing calculator. It will tell you how far you need to pull the syringe to get the desired dose.

5. To calculate the total amount of lyophilized peptide you will need to buy for the entire cycle, return to the second section and input the cycle length.

6. Et voilà! Now, not only do you know how far you will have to pull the syringe for each dose, but you're also aware of the total amount of peptide that you will need for the entire cycle.

The concept behind this peptide dosage calculator might seem more complicated than it really is, but in reality, it's pretty simple. Let's analyze an example.

Imagine this scenario: you just did loads of research online on the dosage of the BPC 157 peptide, and you want to know how much you should pull into the syringe and how much you should buy to complete one cycle of supplementation. Here's what you have to do:

1. Determine the daily dosage of the peptide. In the case of the BPC 157 peptide, it's 1-10 mcg per kilogram of body mass. Let's say you will be taking a medium dose of 5 mcg, and you weigh 78 kg (172 lbs). Since the dosage is given in units per kg of weight, you will first have to multiply your weight by the dosage:

   5 mcg/kg × 78 kg = 390 mcg

2. You've now bought the peptide, and the vial contains 5 mg. You will add 1 ml of bacteriostatic water to it so that you can dissolve it to create an injection. Take the vial capacity and divide it by the dose.

3. Now, divide 1 by the result of Step 2 and divide the total by 10. The result is the number that you will have to reach with the syringe when pulling the peptide. Here is the complete formula:

   syringe = (bacteriostatic [ml] / (vial capacity [mg] / dose [mcg])) / 10

   syringe = (1 ml / (5 mg / 390 mcg)) / 10

   syringe = 7.8

   If you are confused about milligrams or milliliters, visit our mg to mL calculator to discover more about mass-to-volume conversions and concentration.

   Remember that you should use a small syringe of up to 1 ml. If the result is higher than 100, the injection will not fit in a one-milliliter syringe. In this case, you will have to convert the value into milliliters and use a bigger syringe to pull the appropriate amount of solution.

   In a small syringe, the units are equal to 0.01 ml. Therefore, we will need to divide the result by 100 (or multiply by 0.01) to get the amount in milliliters:

   amount = 7.8 / 100 = 0.078 ml

4. Now you know when to stop pulling with the syringe, but we still need to calculate how much lyophilized peptide to buy for the supplementation cycle. Suppose your cycle will last 11 weeks or 77 days. To calculate the total amount of BPC 157, you will need to multiply your daily dose by the number of days, then divide by 1000 to convert the result from mcg to mg:

   total peptide = dose × days in a cycle / 1000

   total peptide = 390 mcg × 77 days / 1000

   total peptide = 30.03 mg

   To complete a 77-day cycle, you will need to buy around 30 mg of the BPC 157 peptide, with a daily dosage of 390 mcg.
