GLOW blend Calculator
Enter your GLOW blend vial size, the water you add and your dose to get the units to draw on a U-100 syringe. The units chart and water table below cover 50, 70 mg vials.
How many units is each GLOW blend dose?
Units on a U-100 insulin syringe for common amounts, with 3 mL of bacteriostatic water in the vial. With a different water amount, use the calculator above.
| Dose (mg) | 50 mg vial + 3 mL | 70 mg vial + 3 mL |
|---|---|---|
| 1 mg | 6 units 0.06 mL | 4.3 units 0.043 mL |
| 2 mg | 12 units 0.12 mL | 8.6 units 0.086 mL |
| 3 mg | 18 units 0.18 mL | 12.9 units 0.129 mL |
| 5 mg | 30 units 0.3 mL | 21.4 units 0.214 mL |
Doses on this page are for the total blend. Divide by the ratio on the vial label to get each peptide's share.
How much bac water for GLOW blend?
Water only changes how much liquid each dose takes up, not how much GLOW blend is in it. To land a 2 mg dose on a round number of units, add:
| Vial | So 2 mg = 10 units | So 2 mg = 20 units |
|---|---|---|
| 50 mg | 2.5 mL | 5 mL |
| 70 mg | 3.5 mL | 7 mL |
How do you reconstitute GLOW blend?
- Concentration: 70 mg ÷ 3 mL = 23.333 mg/mL (233.33 mcg per unit).
- Volume to draw: 2 mg ÷ 23.333 mg/mL = 0.086 mL.
- Syringe units: 0.086 mL × 100 = 8.6 units on a U-100 syringe.
Example numbers only. They come from the default vial, water and amount above, not a recommendation.
What else do people ask about GLOW blend?
How many units is 2 mg of GLOW blend?
It depends on how much water is in the vial. With a 70 mg vial and 3 mL of water, 2 mg is 8.6 units (0.086 mL) on a U-100 syringe. Change the vial or water amount above to see your number.
How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a GLOW blend vial?
There's no single right amount. More water makes each unit weaker and the draw bigger, which is easier to measure. Less water makes the draw smaller. Many people pick an amount that puts their dose on a round number of units. The "Units → water to add" tab and the table above work this out.
How many doses are in a 70 mg GLOW blend vial?
At 2 mg per dose, a 70 mg vial holds 35 doses. The amount of water doesn't change this.
Does this page recommend a GLOW blend dose?
No. This page only converts amounts you enter into syringe units. Ask a licensed clinician about whether and how to use GLOW blend.
