Kisspeptin
How to reconstitute the 5 mg vial and convert any target dose into insulin units. Reconstitution math and unit conversions for the 5 mg and 10 mg vials. Human kisspeptin doses are weight-based reproductive-research doses; there is no validated consumer dose, so no usage range is shown.
No validated human dose. Kisspeptin is a research-use peptide with no FDA-approved dose. The reconstitution math below is exact measurement — a calculator, not advice. Any usage figures are community-reported and clearly labeled, and none of this is medical advice.
Calculate for your vial
Enter the mg on your Kisspeptin vial, the bacteriostatic water you added, and your target dose — it works out the exact units to draw on a U-100 insulin syringe, for whatever you personally have.

Check the decimal. A misplaced decimal point here is a 10× dosing error. Re-read every number, and confirm your dose with a licensed clinician before you draw.
Educational only — not a dosing recommendation. This tool does the measurement math; it does not tell you what to take. On a U-100 insulin syringe, 100 units = 1 mL.
1 · Find your dose
Pick what you're using Kisspeptin for and how much bacteriostatic water you added — this pulls out the exact units to draw and how often people report using it.
The average age was 25.80±0.37 years and intervention human kisspeptin-10 was administered in single iv bolus dose (1 µg/kg BW).

At 2 mL this 5 mg vial is 2.5 mg/mL (25 mcg per unit). Use the full matrix below to convert a specific amount into U-100 units — measurement math, not a recommendation.
2 · Reconstitute it cleanly, step by step
How to turn the 5 mg powder into a measured liquid with clean, sterile technique. More water means each insulin unit holds less peptide — easier to measure small amounts accurately.
1Swab the stoppers
Wipe the rubber top of each vial with an alcohol pad and let it air-dry.
2Draw the water
Pull your bacteriostatic water up into the insulin syringe.
3Reconstitute
Inject it slowly down the inside wall of the peptide vial — never straight onto the powder.
4Swirl to dissolve
Gently swirl until the powder fully dissolves into a clear liquid. Never shake.
5Equalize, then draw
To draw a dose: push in an equal amount of air first to equalize the pressure, then pull your dose.

Swab both tops
Wipe the rubber top of the bacteriostatic-water vial and the Kisspeptin vial stopper with a fresh alcohol pad, and let them air-dry. Never touch the needle or the stoppers after wiping.

Draw the water
First pull 2 mL of air into the syringe and inject it into the bacteriostatic-water vial to equalize the pressure, then draw your 2 mL of water back out. Inject it into the Kisspeptin vial down the inside glass wall, not onto the powder.

Swirl, don't shake
Gently swirl the 5 mg vial until the powder fully dissolves into a clear liquid. Never shake — shaking can damage the peptide and foam the solution.

Know your strength
The vial is now 2.5 mg/mL. Each unit on a U-100 syringe holds about 25 mcg.
2.5 mg/mL - 5
Re-swab & draw your dose
Wipe the stopper again. With a fresh insulin syringe, pull back 40 units of air and inject it into the vial to equalize the pressure, then draw 40 units (0.4 mL) for a 1 mg dose.
40 units - 6
Store it right
Keep the mixed vial in the fridge, away from light. Use a new sterile syringe every time, never share, and drop used sharps in a proper container.

4 · Everyday usage
Human kisspeptin dosing comes from reproductive-endocrinology research and is weight-based (nmol/kg), not a fixed consumer dose — so this page shows reconstitution math only.

Frequently asked questions
How many insulin units is 200 mcg of Kisspeptin from a 5 mg vial?
- Reconstituting a 5 mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5 mg/mL — about 25 mcg per unit. Drawing 200 mcg is 0.08 mL, or 8 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. This is measurement math, not a dose recommendation.
How many insulin units is 1 mg of Kisspeptin from a 5 mg vial?
- Reconstituting a 5 mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5 mg/mL — about 25 mcg per unit. Drawing 1 mg is 0.4 mL, or 40 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. This is measurement math, not a dose recommendation.
Is there a standard kisspeptin dose?
- No. Human studies used kisspeptin-54 by subcutaneous injection at weight-based research doses of roughly 0.4–6.4 nmol/kg (about 0.15–2.6 mg for a 70 kg adult) to study LH/FSH release and, at higher doses, to trigger egg maturation in IVF (Jayasena/Dhillo group; e.g. Hum Reprod and PMC4914955). Kisspeptin-10 has a much shorter half-life and did not significantly stimulate hormones by subcutaneous bolus. These are research doses, not a consumer protocol — there is no validated dose, and decisions belong with a licensed clinician.
Why does this page show no usage range?
- Because the only human kisspeptin doses on record are weight-based research doses for a specific clinical purpose (reproductive testing and IVF), not a fixed amount someone would self-select. Rather than invent a number, this page gives only the deterministic reconstitution math so you can measure accurately if a clinician directs a specific amount.
