Question 1

How many units is a 1 mg dose of GHK-Cu (100mg vial, 2ml diluent)?

Accepted Answer

2 units on a standard U-100 insulin syringe (0.02 ml). Mixing a 100mg vial of GHK-Cu with 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives a concentration of 50 mg/ml. On a U-100 insulin syringe that means: 1 mg = 2 units · 2 mg = 4 units · 3 mg = 6 units · 5 mg = 10 units.

Question 2

What is the concentration of 100mg of GHK-Cu in 2ml?

Accepted Answer

100mg ÷ 2ml = 50 mg/ml.

Question 3

Which syringe do these unit marks refer to?

Accepted Answer

A standard U-100 insulin syringe, where 100 units = 1 ml. On U-50 or U-30 syringes the same volume reads as half or 30% of the U-100 marks. These are mathematical conversions for organizational purposes only — not medical advice.

Dose	Draw volume	U-100 units
1 mg	0.02 ml	2 U
2 mg	0.04 ml	4 U
3 mg	0.06 ml	6 U
5 mg	0.1 ml	10 U
