Question 1

How many units is a 1 mg dose of GHK-Cu (50mg vial, 3ml diluent)?

Accepted Answer

6 units on a standard U-100 insulin syringe (0.06 ml). Mixing a 50mg vial of GHK-Cu with 3ml of bacteriostatic water gives a concentration of 16.67 mg/ml. On a U-100 insulin syringe that means: 1 mg = 6 units · 2 mg = 12 units · 3 mg = 18 units · 5 mg = 30 units.

Question 2

What is the concentration of 50mg of GHK-Cu in 3ml?

Accepted Answer

50mg ÷ 3ml = 16.67 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	0.06 ml	6 U
2 mg	0.12 ml	12 U
3 mg	0.18 ml	18 U
5 mg	0.3 ml	30 U
