Kisspeptin-10 dosage calculator
In a 5 mg vial with 2 mL of water (2.5 mg/mL), 100 mcg of Kisspeptin-10 is 4 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Kisspeptin-10 is dosed in micrograms from a vial labelled in milligrams.

About Kisspeptin-10
Kisspeptin-10 is the shortest active fragment of kisspeptin, a hypothalamic peptide that triggers GnRH and therefore LH and testosterone release. It has been used as a research tool in human reproductive studies, where it was given as single subcutaneous or intravenous doses. It is not an approved medicine and vials are sold for research.
Reported use clusters at 100 to 300 mcg, but the published human data are single-dose studies rather than protocols, so treat any schedule as anecdote. A 5 mg vial with 2 mL of water is 2,500 mcg/mL, so 100 mcg is 0.04 mL, or 4 units.
The same 5 mg vial at other water volumes
If the draw is awkward to read, change the water, not the dose. The dose stays the same; only the mark moves.
| Vial | BAC water | Concentration | Draw | U-100 units | Doses/vial |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg | 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 0.02 mL | 2 units | 50 |
| 5 mg | 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 0.04 mL | 4 units | 50 |
| 5 mg | 3 mL | 1.67 mg/mL | 0.06 mL | 6 units | 50 |
| 10 mg | 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 0.01 mL | 1 units | 100 |
| 10 mg | 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 0.02 mL | 2 units | 100 |
| 10 mg | 3 mL | 3.33 mg/mL | 0.03 mL | 3 units | 100 |
All rows above assume a 100 mcg dose and a standard U-100 insulin syringe, where 100 units = 1 mL.
How long it lasts in the body
The half-life of Kisspeptin-10 is about 4 minutes. That is the time for the amount in your blood to halve, so after one half-life you are at 50 percent of the peak, after two you are at 25 percent, and after four you are at roughly 6 percent. It is gone within an hour or two. What it triggers (a growth hormone pulse, for instance) lasts longer than the peptide itself, which is why timing matters more than the exact number of minutes.
Common questions
- How many units is 100 mcg of Kisspeptin-10?
- It depends entirely on how much water you added. In a 5 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL, the concentration is 2.5 mg/mL, so 100 mcg is 0.04 mL, which is 4 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. In the same vial with 1 mL of water it is 2 units, and with 3 mL it is 6 units.
- How much bacteriostatic water for a 5 mg Kisspeptin-10 vial?
- 2 mL is the usual choice. It gives 2.5 mg/mL, which puts the commonly reported range of 50 mcg to 500 mcg between roughly 2 and 20 units. Aim for a draw between about 10 and 50 units, where the barrel is easiest to read, and add or remove water to get there.
- How many doses are in a 5 mg vial?
- Divide 5 by your dose. At 100 mcg that is 50 doses, which at once daily is 50 days.
- How many units is 100 mcg of kisspeptin-10?
- In a 5 mg vial with 2 mL of water, 4 units on a U-100 syringe. With 5 mL of water, 10 units.
