Sermorelin dosage chart
The units to draw on a U-100 insulin syringe for each Sermorelin dose, by vial size and the water added.
- vial sizes sold
- 5, 10 mg
- approval status
- Not FDA-approved
- in each unit of a U-100 syringe
- 0.01 mL
Once you've mixed a vial, this sermorelin dosage chart tells you how many units to draw up with an insulin syringe, based on your vial size and how much water you added.
- Vial sizes you can buy: 5 mg or 10 mg
- Each unit on a U-100 syringe measures 0.01 mL
This product is sold as a research chemical, and the FDA has not approved it for use in people. Because of that, no company or regulator sets an official dose. The numbers below are neat, easy-to-read figures, not a recommendation of what to take.
Sermorelin dosing chart in units
| Your dose | 5 mg vial + 2 mL | 10 mg vial + 2 mL |
|---|---|---|
| 100 mcg | 4 units | 2 units |
| 150 mcg | 6 units | 3 units |
| 200 mcg | 8 units | 4 units |
| 300 mcg | 12 units | 6 units |
| 400 mcg | 16 units | 8 units |
| 500 mcg | 20 units | 10 units |
| 1 mg | 40 units | 20 units |
| 1.5 mg | 60 units | 30 units |
| 2 mg | 80 units | 40 units |
Dose rows are round amounts for reading the table, not a suggested dose: no FDA label exists.
Units to draw for each amount
You get sermorelin as a vial of dry powder in either a 5 mg or 10 mg size, as listed by the vendor. You add water to the whole vial one time, then take out just a little bit each time you need it. The syringe is marked in units for that small portion.
A U-100 insulin syringe carries 100 fine marks per mL, so one mark, which people call a unit, measures 0.01 mL. The amounts listed here are in mcg, short for micrograms, which is a much smaller unit than mg. Both columns assume you mixed 2 mL of water into the vial.
| Amount of sermorelin | 5 mg vial with 2 mL water added | 10 mg vial with 2 mL water added |
|---|---|---|
| 100 mcg | 4 syringe units | 2 syringe units |
| 150 mcg | 6 syringe units | 3 syringe units |
| 200 mcg | 8 syringe units | 4 syringe units |
| 300 mcg | 12 syringe units | 6 syringe units |
| 400 mcg | 16 syringe units | 8 syringe units |
| 500 mcg | 20 syringe units | 10 syringe units |
| 1 mg | 40 syringe units | 20 syringe units |
| 1.5 mg | 60 syringe units | 30 syringe units |
| 2 mg | 80 syringe units | 40 syringe units |
How to read the chart
- Pick the column that fits your vial size along with the 2 mL of water you used.
- Go down to the row holding the amount you're after.
- Wherever that row and column cross, you find how many units to draw with a U-100 insulin syringe.
Used a different amount of water? Then these numbers won't fit your vial, and the same amount will need a different count of units.
Why the amount of water matters
Adding water to the dry powder is what people call reconstituting. With more water, the same powder spreads through more liquid, so each unit holds a smaller share and you need more units for the same amount.
| Vial size | Water used | Units for a 250 mcg amount |
|---|---|---|
| 5 mg vial | 1 mL | 5 units |
| 5 mg vial | 2 mL | 10 units |
| 5 mg vial | 3 mL | 15 units |
| 10 mg vial | 1 mL | 2.5 units |
| 10 mg vial | 2 mL | 5 units |
| 10 mg vial | 3 mL | 7.5 units |
Tiny figures like 2.5 units are tricky to measure accurately on a syringe. Adding extra water pushes those numbers up so they're simpler to read.
FDA approval status
Sermorelin isn't FDA-approved for use in people right now and is sold as a research chemical. That means there's no official label spelling out a dose, a schedule, or safety guidance, so please talk to a doctor before using it.
How this is worked out
You don't need to do any math if you mix 2 mL of water into your vial. If you used a different amount, more water means more units for the same amount.
Sermorelin reconstitution chart
| Vial | Water added | Strength | Units for a sample dose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg | 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 5 units for 250 mcg |
| 5 mg | 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 10 units for 250 mcg |
| 5 mg | 3 mL | 1.667 mg/mL | 15 units for 250 mcg |
| 10 mg | 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 2.5 units for 250 mcg |
| 10 mg | 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 5 units for 250 mcg |
| 10 mg | 3 mL | 3.333 mg/mL | 7.5 units for 250 mcg |
Questions people often ask
Can sermorelin be dosed for weight loss or muscle growth?
There is no official dose for either goal. The FDA has not approved sermorelin for any use in people, which covers weight loss and building muscle as well.
Do men need a different dosage chart?
No. Unit counts depend on just three things: the vial size, how much water you added, and the amount. So everyone can work from the same chart.
