HGH reconstitution calculator

HGH is dosed in international units (IU), not micrograms. This calculator helps you convert a vial's IU and your BAC water volume into the units to draw on an insulin syringe.

HGH is measured in IU

Most HGH vials are labelled in international units (IU), not milligrams. A common approximation is about 3 IU per 1 mg, but check your product — potency varies.

To use this calculator, convert the vial's IU to mg first, then enter that mg amount and your BAC water volume.

  • 10 IU vial ≈ 3.33 mg
  • Reconstitute with 1 mL → 3.33 mg/mL
  • A 2 IU (~0.67 mg) dose ≈ 0.2 mL = 20 units on a U-100 syringe

Worked HGH example

A 10 IU vial reconstituted with 1 mL gives roughly 3.33 mg/mL. A 2 IU dose is about 0.67 mg, which is 0.2 mL — 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Using 2 mL of BAC water instead halves the concentration, so the same 2 IU dose becomes 0.4 mL (40 units).

Worked example with a 15 IU vial

A 15 IU vial is about 5 mg of HGH. Reconstituted with 1.5 mL, that is roughly 3.33 mg/mL — the same concentration as the 10 IU in 1 mL example, because the IU-to-water ratio matches.

At that concentration a 2 IU (~0.67 mg) dose is still 0.2 mL, or 20 units. Keeping the IU-per-mL ratio consistent across vial sizes keeps your unit count familiar.

  • 15 IU ≈ 5 mg
  • 5 mg / 1.5 mL ≈ 3.33 mg/mL
  • 2 IU dose ≈ 0.2 mL = 20 U-100 units

Choose BAC water to make IU doses easy to read

Because HGH doses are small, the water volume you pick decides how many syringe units a dose lands on. More water spreads a dose across more units, which can make a 1 IU or 2 IU dose easier to measure precisely.

For a 10 IU vial: 1 mL puts a 2 IU dose at 20 units, while 2 mL puts the same dose at 40 units. Pick whichever lands your usual dose on a clear, easy-to-read mark.

  • More BAC water = more units per IU = easier small-dose reading
  • 10 IU in 1 mL: 2 IU dose = 20 units
  • 10 IU in 2 mL: 2 IU dose = 40 units

Frequently asked questions

How many IU are in 1 mg of HGH?+
A common approximation is about 3 IU per mg, so 1 mg ≈ 3 IU. Potency varies by product, so confirm the conversion stated on your vial or by your pharmacy.
How do I convert an HGH IU dose to insulin-syringe units?+
First convert IU to mg (about 3 IU per mg), then divide by the vial's mg/mL concentration to get mL, then multiply mL by 100 for U-100 units. The calculator does all three steps once you enter the vial mg and water volume.
How much BAC water should I use for an HGH vial?+
1–2 mL per vial is common. Less water gives a smaller, more concentrated draw; more water makes small IU doses easier to measure on an insulin syringe.
What syringe is used for HGH?+
A U-100 insulin syringe is standard. Because HGH doses are small, reading the dose in units on a U-100 syringe is usually the most accurate approach.
Why is my HGH draw so small?+
HGH doses are only a couple of IU, which is a fraction of a milligram, so even a fairly dilute vial produces a small draw. If a dose is hard to read, add more BAC water to spread it across more syringe units.
