Sermorelin Dose Guide & Calculator
Sermorelin is a synthetic growth hormone releasing peptide that is often used by athletes, bodybuilders and individuals seeking to support anti-aging protocols. Because it comes in a lyophilised powder form, the first step before any injection is reconstitution with sterile water or bacteriostatic solution. Proper reconstitution not only guarantees accurate dosing but also preserves potency and safety.
Sermorelin Reconstitution Calculator and Dosage Chart
When you have purchased a vial of Sermorelin (typically 2 mg in a 1 ml ampoule), the next step is to decide how much water to add so that each millilitre contains the desired dose. A common practice is to reconstitute with 0.5 to 1.0 ml of sterile water, which gives you either a 4 mg/ml or 2 mg/ml concentration respectively.
The following table shows typical reconstitution volumes and resulting concentrations for standard vial sizes:
| Vial Size (mg) | Reconstitution Volume (ml) | Concentration (mg/ml) |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0 | 0.5 | 2.0 |
| 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 |
| 2.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 |
| 2.0 | 2.0 | 1.0 |
Once you have a known concentration, calculating the daily dose is straightforward: divide the desired milligram amount by the concentration to obtain the volume in microlitres or millilitres that should be drawn into a syringe.
Example: If you reconstitute 2 mg of Sermorelin with 1 ml water (giving 2 mg/ml) and your protocol calls for 0.5 mg per day, you would withdraw 0.25 ml (250 µl) from the vial each day.
Dosage charts used by clinicians and experienced users often list recommended daily ranges:
- Low dose: 0.1 to 0.3 mg per day
- Moderate dose: 0.4 to 0.6 mg per day
- High dose: 0.7 to 1.0 mg per day
These ranges are tailored for age, body weight, and specific goals such as muscle growth or hormone replacement therapy. Always consult a healthcare professional before choosing a dose.
Tips for Successful Reconstitution
- Sterile technique
Work in a clean area free of dust or microbes. Use gloves, a clean surface, and wipe the vial caps with alcohol before opening.
- Use a sterile syringe
A 3 ml syringe with a 27-gauge needle is ideal for adding water to the vial. This gauge is fine enough to minimise tissue trauma but robust enough to handle the small volumes.
- Gentle mixing
After adding the water, gently swirl or roll the vial between your hands. Avoid vigorous shaking; this can introduce bubbles and reduce peptide stability.
- Temperature control
Keep the reconstituted solution in a refrigerator (2–8 °C) if you are not using it immediately. Do not freeze the solution as ice crystals damage the peptide structure.
- Label clearly
Write the concentration, date of reconstitution, and expiry on the vial or its cap. This helps avoid dosing errors later.
- Avoid repeated freezing-thawing
Each time you withdraw a dose, keep the remaining solution in the refrigerator and do not expose it to the freezer again.
- Use a calibrated syringe for dosing
For accurate microlitre measurements, use a syringe with clear markings or a dedicated microinjector.
- Monitor for precipitation
If the solution appears cloudy or shows crystals after reconstitution, discard it and start over. This indicates degradation or contamination.
- Store in a dark container
Light can degrade peptides. Keep the vial wrapped in foil or use a dark bottle if available.
- Check sterility before each injection
Inspect for any particulate matter or discoloration. If anything is off, replace the solution.
By following these reconstitution and dosage guidelines, users can maintain consistency, reduce waste, and achieve their therapeutic or performance objectives safely and effectively.
