Peptide Dosage Calculator
VIP Dosage Calculator
A free educational VIP dosage calculator for research — enter the vial amount and bacteriostatic water volume to get the reconstitution concentration (mg/mL) and syringe-unit reading. Research-use concentration math only; it does not recommend a personal dose, route, or frequency.

How the calculator works
Concentration
peptide ÷ liquid
Total peptide divided by liquid volume gives the concentration per mL.
Volume
target ÷ concentration
The target mass divided by concentration gives the liquid volume.
Syringe units
volume × 100
For insulin units, 100 units equals 1 mL, so mL is multiplied by 100.
Frequently asked questions
How much bacteriostatic water should I enter?+
There is no single calculator-default amount. The liquid volume controls concentration: more liquid creates a less concentrated solution and a larger volume reading for the same target amount; less liquid creates a more concentrated solution and a smaller volume reading.
How do insulin syringe units relate to mL?+
For this math tool, 100 insulin units equals 1 mL, and 1 unit equals 0.01 mL. The 0.3 mL, 0.5 mL, and 1.0 mL options change capacity, not the unit-to-mL relationship.
What is the difference between mg, mcg, and units?+
Milligrams and micrograms measure peptide mass: 1 mg = 1,000 mcg. Syringe units measure liquid volume. Reconstitution math connects mass and volume by using concentration.
Does changing the liquid volume change the total peptide in the vial?+
No. The total peptide amount entered for the vial remains fixed. Changing the liquid volume only changes concentration and the resulting volume shown by the calculator.
Reconstituting VIP
VIP is studied in inflammation, pulmonary and immune-modulation research contexts, supplied as a lyophilized powder. Reconstitution is concentration math: the vial amount and the volume of bacteriostatic water you add set the mg/mL concentration. Enter your vial amount and water volume in the calculator above to compute the concentration and syringe-unit reading.
VIP is commonly supplied as 5 mg or 10 mg lyophilized vials and is dosed in micrograms, so small amounts of bacteriostatic water yield high mcg/mL concentrations. Because VIP is frequently used intranasally, the same reconstituted solution may instead be loaded into a metered nasal spray where the concentration sets the mcg delivered per actuation. Reconstitution figures here are concentration math only, not a personal dose.
VIP concentration reference
Resulting concentration (mg/mL) for common VIP vial sizes at different bacteriostatic water volumes. This is concentration math for interpreting labels — not a dosing table.
| Vial size | + 1 mL water | + 2 mL water | + 3 mL water |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg | 5 mg/mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 1.67 mg/mL |
| 10 mg | 10 mg/mL | 5 mg/mL | 3.33 mg/mL |
Concentration = vial amount ÷ water volume. Use the calculator above for syringe-unit interpretation. Confirm your actual vial label before reconstituting.

FAQ
Is the VIP dosage calculator a personal dosing tool?
No. "Dosage calculator" is the common search term, but this is an educational reconstitution and concentration-math tool: it converts vial amount, bacteriostatic water volume, and syringe capacity into concentration (mg/mL) and unit readings. It does not provide a personal dose, route, frequency, or treatment guidance.
How do I reconstitute VIP?
Add bacteriostatic water gently down the vial wall and swirl (never shake) until clear. The water volume and the vial amount together set the concentration; the calculator above computes the mg/mL and the syringe-unit reading. This is research concentration math only.
What concentration does a 5 mg VIP vial give?
5 mg reconstituted with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water is 5 mg/mL; with 2 mL it is 2.5 mg/mL; with 3 mL it is 1.67 mg/mL. Enter your actual vial amount and water volume above to see the concentration and per-unit reading.
Does Medibact sell VIP?
Medibact publishes a VIP research guide and supplies the USP-grade bacteriostatic water used to reconstitute lyophilized peptides — it does not sell the peptide itself.
