GHK-Cu 50 mg vial: mixing and syringe units
A 50 mg vial of GHK-Cu mixed with 3 mL of bacteriostatic water is 16.6667 mg/mL. At that strength 1 mg is 6 units on a U-100 syringe and 3 mg is 18 units. The doses on this page are a reported range, not a label dose.

Each row is one dose, the volume to draw and where that sits on a U-100 insulin syringe. The last three columns show which syringe sizes can hold it in one draw.
| Dose | Volume | Syringe units | 0.3 mL syringe | 0.5 mL syringe | 1 mL syringe |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mg | 0.06 mL | 6 units | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 2 mg | 0.12 mL | 12 units | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 3 mg | 0.18 mL | 18 units | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Source Reported range, not a label dose. Reports describe starting at 0.5 to 1 mg. Human studies used it on the skin, not as an injection. Vial math is arithmetic.
How to mix a 50 mg GHK-Cu vial
- Wash your hands. Wipe the stopper of the GHK-Cu vial and the water vial with an alcohol swab.
- Draw 3 mL of bacteriostatic water into a syringe.
- Push the needle through the stopper of the peptide vial and let the water run slowly down the glass, not straight onto the powder.
- Swirl the vial gently until the powder is gone. Do not shake it.
- Write the date and 16.6667 mg/mL on the vial, then put it in the fridge.
If you add a different amount of water
More water makes each dose a bigger, easier draw. Less water makes it smaller. The milligrams in the vial do not change.
| Water added | Concentration | 1 mg | 2 mg | 3 mg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 50 mg/mL | 2 units | 4 units | 6 units |
| 2 mL | 25 mg/mL | 4 units | 8 units | 12 units |
| 3 mL | 16.6667 mg/mL | 6 units | 12 units | 18 units |
The marked row is the amount used in the chart above. Red cells are draws under 5 units, which are hard to read, or over 100 units, which one 1 mL syringe cannot hold.
How many doses are in the vial
| Dose | Whole doses in a 50 mg vial | At once daily |
|---|---|---|
| 1 mg | 50 doses | 50 days |
| 2 mg | 25 doses | 25 days |
| 3 mg | 16 doses | 16 days |
GHK-Cu 50 mg vial questions
How many units is 1 mg of GHK-Cu from a 50 mg vial?
With 3 mL of bacteriostatic water the vial is 16.6667 mg/mL. 1 mg is 0.06 mL, which is 6 units on a U-100 syringe.
How many units is 2 mg of GHK-Cu from a 50 mg vial?
With 3 mL of bacteriostatic water the vial is 16.6667 mg/mL. 2 mg is 0.12 mL, which is 12 units on a U-100 syringe.
How many units is 3 mg of GHK-Cu from a 50 mg vial?
With 3 mL of bacteriostatic water the vial is 16.6667 mg/mL. 3 mg is 0.18 mL, which is 18 units on a U-100 syringe.
How much bacteriostatic water goes in a 50 mg GHK-Cu vial?
3 mL is the amount used on this page. It gives 16.6667 mg/mL and puts the doses at 6, 12, 18 units. Any amount works as long as the math is redone for it.
What if I added 1 mL instead of 3 mL?
The vial would be 50 mg/mL instead of 16.6667 mg/mL, so 1 mg would be 2 units instead of 6. The dose in the syringe is the same; only the volume changes.
How many doses are in a 50 mg GHK-Cu vial?
Whole doses in one vial: 50 at 1 mg, 25 at 2 mg, 16 at 3 mg.
