Introduction
The GLP-1 Calculator is a research tool designed for educational purposes to help understand dosage calculations for various compounds. This guide will walk you through all the features and how to use them effectively.
Important: This tool is for research and educational purposes only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations.
Getting Started
The calculator offers several options:
- Semaglutide Calculator: For research calculations
- Tirzepatide Calculator: For research calculations
- Retatrutide Calculator: For research calculations
- Peptide Calculator: For general research calculations
Use the tabs at the top of the calculator to switch between different compound types.
You'll need to input:
- Total mg in Vial: The total amount of compound in your vial
- Bacteriostatic Water Volume: The amount of water you'll use for reconstitution
Tip: Always double-check the concentration of your compound vial before entering values.
Enter your desired dose in milligrams (mg). The calculator will automatically calculate the correct volume to use.
Choose from three common syringe sizes:
- 0.3ml (30 units)
- 0.5ml (50 units)
- 1.0ml (100 units)
The calculator will show you exactly where to draw up to on your selected syringe.
Understanding the Results
After entering your information, the calculator provides:
Shows the concentration of your reconstituted compound in mg/ml
Displays the exact volume in milliliters (ml) you need to draw up
Converts the volume to units on your insulin syringe for easy measurement
Visual Syringe Guide
The calculator includes a visual syringe representation that shows:
- Major markings every 10 units
- Minor markings every 5 units
- Small markings every 2 units
- A blue fill indicator showing exactly where to draw up to
Warning: If your calculated dose exceeds the syringe capacity, the calculator will show a warning and provide alternative options.
