Amount: 10 mg
At 5 mg/mL: 200 units; e.g. 10 mg vial + 2 mL
At 10 mg/mL: 100 units; e.g. 20 mg vial + 2 mL
Syringe: U-100; 100 units = 1 mL

10 mg in units at common mixes

Units on a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) for a 10 mg amount, by vial size and water added. Concentration = vial mg ÷ mL of water; units = dose ÷ concentration × 100.

How the math works

Concentration is the vial's milligrams divided by the water you add. Volume to draw is your dose divided by that concentration. On a U-100 syringe, 1 mL is 100 units, so units = mL × 100.

50 mg ÷ 2 mL = 25 mg/mL
10 mg ÷ 25 mg/mL = 0.4 mL
0.4 mL × 100 = 40 units

40 units · 0.4 mL · 10 mg from 50 mg + 2 mL

Common questions

How many units is 10 mg of GHK-Cu?

It depends on the concentration. With a 50 mg vial and 2 mL of water (25 mg/mL), 10 mg is 40 units on a U-100 syringe. The table shows other mixes.

Is 10 mg a recommended dose of GHK-Cu?

This page is math only. It converts an amount into syringe units and does not recommend a dose. See the dosage page for what studies used.
