Recovery & Repair
GHK Dosing & Reconstitution Calculator
Copper-free GHK tripeptide backbone. Used to distinguish peptide-only effects from copper-chelation.
TL;DR - GHK is a recovery & repair peptide with a typical starting dose of 2 mg. For a 5 mg vial, add 2.5 mL bacteriostatic water to yield 2 mg/mL.

Frequently Asked
How do I reconstitute GHK?
Add 2.5 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg vial, injecting slowly down the inside wall. Swirl gently; never shake. This yields a concentration of 2 mg/mL.
What is the recommended dose of GHK?
A typical research dose is 2 mg. Consult the ASCEND calculator for your specific vial concentration and draw volume.
How many doses are in a GHK vial?
A 5 mg vial reconstituted with 2.5 mL BAC water yields approximately 2 doses at 2 mg each.
How many IU is 2 mg of GHK on a syringe?
With a 5 mg vial reconstituted in 2.5 mL bacteriostatic water, the concentration is 2 mg/mL. For a 2 mg dose: Volume = 2 mg ÷ 2 mg/mL = 1 mL. Draw to the 100 line on a 100-unit insulin syringe. You can adjust these values in the ASCEND calculator for any vial size.
What does a GHK dosage calculator do?
A GHK dosage calculator converts your vial size and BAC water volume into an exact syringe draw in IU. Enter your vial strength (5 mg), reconstitution volume (2.5 mL), and target dose to get the precise line to draw on an insulin syringe.
What is the GHK reconstitution calculator formula?
Draw volume (mL) = Dose (mg) divided by Concentration (mg/mL). For a 5 mg vial with 2.5 mL BAC water: concentration = 2 mg/mL. For a 2 mg dose, the ASCEND calculator gives the exact IU line on your syringe instantly.
