How the Glutathione math works
A 600 mg vial holds 600,000 mcg of Glutathione. Adding 6 mL of bacteriostatic water spreads that over 6 mL, so the solution is 600,000 ÷ 6 = 100,000 mcg per mL. A U-100 insulin syringe has 100 units per mL, so each unit is 0.01 mL and holds 100,000 × 0.01 = 1 mg.
To turn an amount into units, divide it by the amount per unit. The calculator above does this for you, and warns you when a draw is too small to measure or bigger than the syringe.
Glutathione concentration by vial size and water volume
Each cell shows the concentration and how much one U-100 unit holds. The app's reference lists 6 mL for a 600 mg vial.

Before you reconstitute
Check the vial label for the actual amount of peptide, because the calculation depends on it. Use an insulin syringe marked U-100 so that 100 units equal 1 mL, and write down how much water you added so the concentration is known later.

Frequently asked questions
How much BAC water goes in a 600 mg Glutathione vial?
The reconstitution reference in the PeptidesAI app lists 6 mL for a 600 mg vial, which makes 100,000 mcg/mL. The water volume is a choice, not a fixed rule: more water makes a weaker solution and larger draws, and the total amount of peptide in the vial stays the same.
How much is one unit of Glutathione on an insulin syringe?
It depends on the concentration. A 600 mg vial with 6 mL of water is 100,000 mcg/mL, so one unit on a U-100 syringe (0.01 mL) holds 1 mg. The table on this page shows other vial and water combinations.
What vial sizes does Glutathione come in?
The PeptidesAI app lists 200 mg, 600 mg, 1,200 mg vials for Glutathione. Use the calculator's vial field for any other size.
Does this calculator tell me how much to use?
No. It converts an amount you already have into syringe units and millilitres. It does not suggest an amount, and nothing on this page is medical advice.
