5-Amino-1MQ 10mg Reconstitution: How Much Bacteriostatic Water & How Many Units
A 10mg vial of 5-Amino-1MQ contains 10,000 mcg. After you add bacteriostatic water, the amount of water decides the concentration — and therefore how many units you draw on a U-100 insulin syringe (1 ml = 100 units). The tables below cover the common water amounts.
Concentration by water amount
| Water added | Concentration | Per 1 unit (0.01 ml) | Per 10 units (0.1 ml) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 ml | 10 mg/ml | 100 mcg | 1 mg |
| 2 ml | 5 mg/ml | 50 mcg | 500 mcg |
| 3 ml | 3.33 mg/ml | 33.33 mcg | 333.33 mcg |
How many units to draw
Example doses across the research range listed for 5-Amino-1MQ (25 mg–50 mg). Units are on a U-100 insulin syringe.
| Dose | With 1 ml | With 2 ml | With 3 ml | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 mg | More than the vial | More than the vial | More than the vial | — |
| 30 mg | More than the vial | More than the vial | More than the vial | — |
| 40 mg | More than the vial | More than the vial | More than the vial | — |
| 50 mg | More than the vial | More than the vial | More than the vial | — |
How to mix it
- Wipe the vial stoppers with alcohol and let them dry.
- Draw your chosen amount of bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe.
- Inject the water slowly down the inside wall of the 5-Amino-1MQ vial — not directly onto the powder.
- Swirl gently until clear. Do not shake.
- Label the vial with the date and concentration, and store it in the refrigerator.

FAQ
How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 10mg 5-Amino-1MQ vial?
Common choices are 1 ml, 2 ml, 3 ml. With 2 ml the concentration is 5 mg/ml. More water makes each dose a larger, easier-to-measure draw; less water keeps injection volume small. The amount of water does not change the dose — only how many units you draw.
How many units is 25 mg of 5-Amino-1MQ from a 10mg vial?
With 2 ml of bacteriostatic water, 25 mg is 500 units on a U-100 (1 ml) insulin syringe. See the table above for other water amounts.
How many doses are in a 10mg 5-Amino-1MQ vial?
At 25 mg per dose, a 10mg vial holds about 0 doses. At higher doses it holds fewer — see the table.
