How the numbers work for Glutathione
A 1500 mg vial of Glutathione with 1.5 mL of bacteriostatic water is 1500 / 1.5 = 1000 mg/mL. A 100 mg dose is 100 / 1000 = 0.1 mL, which is 10 units on a U-100 syringe, or the same number of clicks on a pen. With 2 mL of water instead, the concentration is 750 mg/mL and the same dose is 13 units. At that dose the vial holds 15 doses.
The formulas are the same for every compound: concentration is the vial amount divided by the water, the draw is the dose divided by the concentration, and a U-100 unit is 0.01 mL. They are written out on the methodology page.
Glutathione units at a glance
Syringe units for the amounts recorded for Glutathione, from a 1500 mg vial, across the water volumes people most often use. These are recorded examples used for the arithmetic, not recommendations; a draw under 6 units is hard to measure repeatably and more water fixes that.

Where the amounts come from
The doses above are recorded amounts from the Glutathione entry in the compound library, which lists the sources behind them, labels each as clinical, preclinical or community-reported, and states what the evidence can and cannot support. The vial strength is the one most often listed by suppliers. Nothing on this page is medical advice.
Common questions about Glutathione
- Is Glutathione an FDA-approved medicine?
- Glutathione is not an approved medicine; it is a dietary supplement and a compounded injection. It sits in 503A category 1, under FDA evaluation, and FDA has warned compounders not to make sterile injectables from supplement-grade glutathione powder after patients were harmed by endotoxin.
- How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 1500 mg vial of Glutathione?
- There is no single right amount: the water sets the concentration and the size of the draw, not the dose. This page opens on 1.5 mL, which makes 1000 mg/mL and puts a 100 mg dose at 10 units on a U-100 syringe. With 1 mL the same dose is 7 units; with 3 mL it is 20 units. More water gives a larger, easier-to-read draw, as long as the vial can hold it.
- How many units is 100 mg of Glutathione?
- At 1000 mg/mL (1500 mg in 1.5 mL of water), 100 mg is 0.1 mL, which is 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe or 10 clicks on a peptide pen. At any other concentration the number changes; the units table on this page gives the other common water volumes.
- How many doses are in a 1500 mg vial of Glutathione?
- At 100 mg per dose, a 1500 mg vial holds 15 doses. The water volume changes the size of each draw, not the number of doses in the vial.
- Where do the Glutathione amounts on this page come from?
- They are amounts recorded for Glutathione in the compound library (https://peptidescalculator.com/compound-library/glutathione), which lists the sources behind them and labels each as clinical, preclinical or community-reported. They are shown for the arithmetic, not as recommendations, and the vial strength is the one suppliers list most often. Nothing on this page is medical advice.
