Reconstituting peptides can look tricky the first time, but once you understand the basics, it’s straightforward.
On this page, I’ve put together step-by-step video walkthroughs showing how different vial sizes are commonly prepared using bacteriostatic water. Each example includes the math and syringe breakdowns so you can see exactly how people in the community approach it.

How to Read mcg vs mg (Educational Example)
Understanding the difference between mg (milligrams) and mcg (micrograms) is key:
1 milligram (mg) = 1,000 micrograms (mcg) Example: 2mg = 2,000mcg
For this breakdown you’ll need:
A peptide label showing mg or mcg Calculator (or my free peptide calculator) Clean notepad to jot conversions
Example Conversion:
If your vial says 1,000mcg, that equals 1mg.

How to Use the Peptide Calculator
This tool takes the guesswork out of reconstitution and dosing math. In this video, I’ll show you how to plug in your vial size (mg), the amount of BAC water you’re adding (ml), and your desired dose (mg). The calculator instantly converts it into easy-to-read syringe units so you know exactly what each draw equals.
All you need is:
Your peptide vial (mg amount) BAC water volume (ml) Your desired dose (mg) The free calculator at KempCoreFitness.com

Retatrutide 12mg Reconstitution (Educational Example)
For this setup you’ll need:
- 12mg Retatrutide vial
- 1.2ml bacteriostatic water (BAC water)
- Insulin syringe (100-unit/1ml)
- Alcohol swabs
- Clean, flat surface
Example Breakdown:
12mg vial + 1.2ml BAC water → every 10 units on an insulin syringe = 1mg.
That gives you 12 total 1mg draws from the vial.

Tesamorelin 10mg Reconstitution (Educational Example)
For this setup you’ll need:
10mg Tesamorelin vial 1ml bacteriostatic water (BAC water) Insulin syringe (100-unit/1ml) Alcohol swabs Clean, flat surface
Example Breakdown:
10mg vial + 1ml BAC water → every 10 units on an insulin syringe = 1mg.
That gives you 10 total 1mg draws from the vial.

Glow Blend Reconstitution (Educational Example)
Peptide blend: GHK-Cu (27mg) / BPC-157 (5mg) / TB-500 (10mg)
Total: 42mg vial
For this setup you’ll need:
- Glow blend 42mg vial
- 3ml bacteriostatic water (BAC water)
- Insulin syringe (100-unit/1ml)
- Alcohol swabs
- Clean, flat surface
Example Breakdown:
42mg vial + 3ml BAC water → every 10 units on an insulin syringe = 1.4mg total blend.

What Are Peptides & Are They Safe? (Educational Overview)
Peptides are short chains of amino acids — basically mini-proteins — that signal your body to do specific things like support recovery, skin health, or metabolism.
Safety Perspective:
Many are naturally occurring in the body Human research is still limited for some Reported side effects can include: irritation at the injection site, digestive changes, or headaches (varies by peptide) Long-term data isn’t always clear — so caution and professional guidance matter
Key Takeaway:
Peptides aren’t a “one-size-fits-all” solution. They’re powerful tools being studied for health and performance, but how safe they are depends on the specific peptide, your health history, and guidance from a licensed provider.
