Reconstitution chart: 10 mg vial
| BAC water added | Concentration | Draw for 5 mg dose | Draw for 7.5 mg dose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 mL | 20,000 mcg/mL | 25 units | 37.5 units |
| 0.75 mL | 13,333 mcg/mL | 37.5 units | 56.25 units |
| 1 mL | 10,000 mcg/mL | 50 units | 75 units |
Draws are U-100 insulin syringe units (100 units = 1 mL). Formula: dose in mcg ÷ (vial mcg ÷ water mL) × 100. The calculator above handles any other combination.
About Epithalon
Epithalon (also spelled Epitalon) is a synthetic four-amino-acid peptide based on a substance called epithalamin, extracted from the pineal gland. The research, almost all of it conducted in Russia by one group, examined effects on the enzyme telomerase and on aging markers, which is why it became a fixture in longevity discussion. It has no regulatory approval anywhere, and the human evidence is limited and comes largely from a single research lineage.
Epithalon is unusual in how it is used: rather than ongoing dosing, community protocols describe short cycles, commonly 5 to 10 mg per day for ten consecutive days, repeated a couple of times a year. Note the unit is whole milligrams, more like TB-500 than the microgram peptides. There is no approved schedule, so the cycle figures you see are community convention, offered here only as the context behind the presets, never as advice.
Milligram doses mean larger draws. From a 10 mg vial with 1 mL of BAC water, a 5 mg dose is a 50 unit draw and the vial holds two doses; a full 10 mg dose at that same 1 mL fills the whole syringe at 100 units, which is why these big-milligram peptides use less water rather than more. If the calculator warns your draw exceeds the syringe, use less water or a larger syringe rather than splitting a draw by eye. Because a ten-day cycle at 5 to 10 mg daily burns through several vials, the doses-per-vial line helps you buy the right amount. Refrigerate after mixing.

Stop gambling on where you buy your peptides.
The calculator tells you how much to draw. The Verified Buyer's Manual tells you how to source the peptide itself without getting scammed or shipped underdosed product. Trace any compound back to the lab that made it, read a Certificate of Analysis and catch a fake, grade any seller before you pay, and price it right. A repeatable system, not a list of names that goes stale.
- How to read a lab report (COA) and spot a faked or misattributed one
- Source tracing: find verified sellers yourself from public test data
- The vetting grid: a yes-or-no scorecard for any seller
- Real cost-per-mg math so you never overpay
- Reconstitution, storage, and the first 72 hours after a package lands
