Calculators / GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu reconstitution calculator
Enter your vial size, bacteriostatic water, and target dose — get the concentration, the exact U-100 syringe draw, and how many doses the vial holds. No account, no vendor ties, numbers never leave your browser.
How the math works
Three formulas, checked twice — the same engine that powers the Zyra Labs app:
- concentration (mg/mL) = peptide in vial (mg) ÷ BAC water (mL)
- draw volume (mL) = dose ÷ concentration
- U-100 units = draw volume (mL) × 100
Worked example: 100 mg GHK-Cu + 2 mL water = 50 mg/mL. A 2 mg dose is then 2 mg ÷ 50 mg/mL = 0.04 mL = 4 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Frequently asked
How much BAC water should I add to a 100 mg GHK-Cu vial?
There is no single correct amount — the water volume sets the concentration, not the dose. Adding 2 mL to 100 mg gives 50 mg/mL, which puts a 2 mg draw at 4 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. More water = larger, easier-to-measure draws; less water = smaller draws.
How many units is 2 mg of GHK-Cu?
It depends entirely on your concentration. At 50 mg/mL (100 mg + 2 mL), 2 mg is 4 units on a U-100 syringe. Use the calculator above with your own vial and water volumes.
What is the half-life of GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu's reported half-life is ≈ 30 min. See our cited half-life reference for the decay curve and clearance math.

No. This calculator performs general arithmetic on values you enter, for research and educational purposes. It never recommends doses and we never answer sourcing questions.
