Question 1

How many units is a 1 mg dose of GHK-Cu (50mg vial, 5ml diluent)?

Accepted Answer

10 units on a standard U-100 insulin syringe (0.1 ml). Mixing a 50mg vial of GHK-Cu with 5ml of bacteriostatic water gives a concentration of 10 mg/ml. On a U-100 insulin syringe that means: 1 mg = 10 units · 2 mg = 20 units · 3 mg = 30 units · 5 mg = 50 units.

Question 2

What is the concentration of 50mg of GHK-Cu in 5ml?

Accepted Answer

50mg ÷ 5ml = 10 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	0.1 ml	10 U
2 mg	0.2 ml	20 U
3 mg	0.3 ml	30 U
5 mg	0.5 ml	50 U
