Semax: 5 mg vial with 3 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 3 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg Semax vial gives 1.67 mg/mL (1666.7 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 16.7 mcg. A 200 mcg dose is 12 units (0.12 mL), and the vial holds about 25 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 5 mg Semax
- Bacteriostatic water: 3 mL (the volume in the Crestigen protocol)
- Concentration: 1.67 mg/mL (1666.7 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 16.7 mcg
Semax dose to syringe units
| Dose | Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 mcg | 3 units | 0.03 mL | 100 |
| 100 mcg | 6 units | 0.06 mL | 50 |
| 200 mcg (protocol dose) | 12 units | 0.12 mL | 25 |
| 250 mcg | 15 units | 0.15 mL | 20 |
| 300 mcg (protocol dose) | 18 units | 0.18 mL | 16 |
| 400 mcg (protocol dose) | 24 units | 0.24 mL | 12 |
| 500 mcg (protocol dose) | 30 units | 0.3 mL | 10 |
| 750 mcg | 45 units | 0.45 mL | 6 |

Common questions
How many units is 200 mcg of Semax from a 5 mg vial with 3 mL water?
200 mcg is 12 units (0.12 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 3 mL of water in a 5 mg vial, each unit holds 16.7 mcg. For comparison: 300 mcg = 18 units, 400 mcg = 24 units, 500 mcg = 30 units.
What is the concentration of a 5 mg Semax vial mixed with 3 mL of water?
5 mg divided by 3 mL is 1.67 mg/mL, or 1666.7 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 16.7 mcg per unit.
How many 200 mcg doses are in a 5 mg vial?
About 25. The water volume changes how many units each dose takes, not how many doses the vial holds.
How much water should I add to a 5 mg Semax vial?
3 mL is the volume used in the Crestigen Semax protocol. More water makes each dose a larger, easier-to-measure number of units; less water keeps injections smaller.
