Melanotan II Dosing Confusion
I've read everything on this site on the topic, and I think there is some misinformation regarding IUs and mcg units on a typical B-D insulin syringe. The syringes say units printed in large numbers in increments of 5. The syringe also has printed: 0.3 ml/cc this tells me that the syringe is in 'units' of 10mcg with '5 units' representing 50 mcg. The posts on this site are referencing IUs and I think that's incorrect in that the units listed on these syringes are actually 10mcg per unit. So the '10 Unit' mark on the barrel is 100mcg, not 10 iu.
Here's a converter: http://www.etoolsage.com/converter/IU_Converter.asp?Cate=2&Substance=205...
So the 10mg vial of Melanotan II that I've reconstituted with 2ml bac water is now: 10mg/2ml (if I were to label my vial correctly) which is 50mcg per 10 units on the syringe. Am I correct with this?

waltri'd suggest getting a 1ml syringe with 100 international units to make dosing easier, they're not expensive at all.
with that being said, there are 1000 mcg in 1 mg. so 10mg is the equivalent of 10,000mcg.
10,000/2=5,000
on a 100 unit syringe each unit is 50mcg because 5,000/100=50
on a 1ml syringe the maximum amount of MT-2 you would be able to put into it is 5,000 micrograms, or half of the bac water used
on a .3ml syringe you would at maximum be able to put 1500 mcg into the syringe (5,000[1ml] x .3[for 1/3 of a ml])
i'm guessing your syringe looks like that and has 50 international unit marks
SO we are left with:
1500 mcg [1/3 of a ml] / 50 [units] = 30 [mcg/unit]
every unit on your syringe is 30mcg rather than the 50mcg it would be on a 1ml syringe.
I hope this is helpful for you, also I hope I am correct, math is not my best subject....
I tried to post pics of my B-D u100 0.3 ml/cc syringes, by creating a document and pasting it, but only the text pasted. And suggestions on how to paste pics in a post like P: http://www.eroids.com/forum/hgh-peptides/peptides/how-to-reconstitute-me...
