Melanotan I Reconstitution Calculator
The numbers below are pre-computed for a 10 mg vial of Melanotan I. Doses reported in the literature and in research protocols for Melanotan I sit around 0.5–1 mg, subcutaneous. Pep-Tidy does the arithmetic only — it is not medical or dosing advice.
How much water to add to a 10 mg Melanotan I vial
| Bacteriostatic water | Concentration | Per U-100 unit | Units for 500 mcg |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 100 mcg | 5 units |
| 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 50 mcg | 10 units |
| 3 mL | 3.33 mg/mL | 33.3 mcg | 15 units |
| 5 mL | 2 mg/mL | 20 mcg | 25 units |
Melanotan I units to draw at 2 mL
Reading a 10 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water on a U-100 insulin syringe.
| Dose | Volume | U-100 units | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250 mcg | 0.05 mL | 5 units | 40 |
| 500 mcg | 0.1 mL | 10 units | 20 |
| 750 mcg | 0.15 mL | 15 units | 13 |
| 1 mg | 0.2 mL | 20 units | 10 |
Mixing and storage notes
- Aim the water down the inside wall of the vial, never straight onto the powder, and let it dissolve without shaking.
- Keep lyophilized vials at 2–8 °C and out of light; reconstituted vials are refrigerated and commonly discarded after about 28 days.

Melanotan I reconstitution questions
How do you reconstitute Melanotan I?
A common starting point for a 10 mg vial of Melanotan I is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, which gives 5 mg per mL. Aim the water down the inside wall of the vial, let it dissolve on its own, and roll gently instead of shaking. Pep-Tidy's reconstitution calculator will recalculate the numbers for any other vial size or water volume you use.
How many units of Melanotan I is one dose?
At 5 mg per mL, that works out to about 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe for a 500 mcg dose. Change the vial size, water volume, or target dose in the calculator and the syringe reading updates with it. This is arithmetic, not a dosing recommendation.
What dosing schedule is reported for Melanotan I?
Published and community sources describe 0.5–1 mg, subcutaneous, every day, typically run 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. These figures describe what has been reported, not what anyone should take — talk to a licensed clinician first.
How should Melanotan I be stored?
Lyophilized Melanotan I vials are generally kept at 2–8 °C and out of light. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water they are refrigerated and commonly discarded after about 28 days. Never re-freeze a reconstituted vial and never shake it.
