KPV dosage calculator.
Reconstituting KPV? Enter the mg in the vial, the bacteriostatic water you add, and your target dose in micrograms. You get the exact concentration, the volume to draw in mL, and the units on a U-100 syringe. No rounding, no account, and the full math is shown every time.
Units shown for a U-100 insulin syringe (1 mL = 100 units). No rounding · the full math is above.
How the math works
Three steps, no hand-waving.
Reconstitution is simple arithmetic. The only thing that matters is that it is exact, and that you can see every step.
Vial mg ÷ BAC water mL = mg/mL. A 10 mg vial in 2 mL of water is 5.0000 mg/mL.
Target dose ÷ concentration = mL to draw. 500 mcg ÷ 5.0000 mg/mL = 0.1000 mL.
Draw mL × 100 = units on a U-100 insulin syringe. 0.1000 mL = 10 units.
Background
What KPV reconstitution is
KPV is a tripeptide (lysine-proline-valine) made up of the last three amino acids of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). Research has examined its anti-inflammatory activity, which appears to work independently of the melanocortin receptors and without the tanning or appetite effects of the parent hormone. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder and reconstituted with bacteriostatic water before a dose can be drawn. Concentration is the mg in the vial divided by the mL of water you add, and the calculator shows every decimal.

FAQ
KPV reconstitution questions, answered.
How do you calculate a KPV dose?
Divide the mg of KPV in the vial by the mL of bacteriostatic water you add for the concentration in mg/mL. Convert your dose to mg (1000 mcg = 1 mg), divide by the concentration for the draw volume in mL, then multiply by 100 for units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
How much BAC water for a 10mg KPV vial?
There is no single correct amount. 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL; more water lowers the concentration and gives a larger draw. Enter the amount you plan to add and the calculator returns your exact numbers.
How many units is 500 mcg of KPV?
It depends on the concentration. At 5 mg/mL (a 10 mg vial in 2 mL), 500 mcg is 0.1000 mL, or 10 units on a U-100 syringe. Change any input above to see your own numbers.
What is KPV?
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide of alpha-MSH (lysine-proline-valine). Research has focused on its anti-inflammatory properties, including in models of intestinal inflammation, and it has shown some oral bioavailability, which is unusual for a peptide.
Is KPV FDA approved?
No. KPV is a research peptide and is not approved by the FDA for any use. This tool performs arithmetic only and is not a recommendation to use it.
Why is KPV dosed in micrograms?
Typical research doses are in the hundreds of micrograms, under a milligram. 1 mg equals 1000 mcg. The calculator converts your dose to mg before solving so you can enter either unit.
How should reconstituted KPV be stored?
Follow the storage guidance for your specific product. Reconstituted peptide vials are generally refrigerated and used within a limited window. Regimio tracks a per-vial expiry countdown so you are not guessing.
Is this calculator exact?
Yes. It runs the arithmetic with no hidden rounding and shows the concentration to four decimal places, so your draw volume and units are precise.
Is this medical advice?
No. This calculator performs arithmetic on the values you enter. It does not recommend a dose, schedule, or source. Confirm anything you do with a qualified provider.
