Frequently asked questions
How the calculator works, what a free account adds, where your data lives and how to read research-based content responsibly.
About the calculator
What is PeptidesCalculator.com?
It is a free educational calculation workspace for reconstitution math, draw-volume calculations, device fit, research planning and compound literacy. It does not select a dose or provide medical advice.
Are all calculator features free?
Yes. Basic and Advanced calculation tools are free. An account is only used for workspace features such as saving protocols, notes and schedules.
Do you sell peptides or other products?
No. PeptidesCalculator.com does not sell peptides, supplies or protocols. The site provides calculation and educational tools.
Does the calculator work on phones and tablets?
Yes. The calculator, Compound Library, Research Guides and Workspace are designed for mobile, tablet and desktop screens.
Using Basic and Advanced
What is the difference between Basic and Advanced?
Basic is a simpler calculation with a fixed research tool setup. Advanced adds device configuration, recorded presets, planning controls and specialized calculation tasks.
What does the Mix optimizer do?
It keeps the entered research amount fixed and compares standard mix-volume increments for clearer measurement and selected-device fit. It does not choose an amount or recommend a protocol.
What does Reverse calculate?
Reverse solves the mix volume needed for an entered amount to land on a chosen syringe-unit or pen-click setting.
Can the Blend tool confirm that compounds are compatible?
No. The Blend tool only reports fixed-ratio arithmetic for components sharing one entered volume. Compatibility, stability and handling must be verified independently.
Can IU be converted directly to mg or mcg?
No universal conversion exists. IU potency is substance-specific, so the IU tool requires the exact total potency shown on the source label and never assumes a mass conversion.
Saving and planning
What can I save in the Workspace?
Signed-in users can save calculator states, research protocols, schedules, reconstitution progress, project notes and observation logs.
Is Workspace data synchronized to a cloud account?
Yes. Workspace data is stored with your account, not in the browser, so protocols, schedules and records are the same on every device where you sign in.
Can I share a calculation without an account?
In Basic, yes: the editable link needs no account. Saving or sharing from Advanced needs a free account, which also keeps the calculation in your workspace.
Can schedules be added to a calendar?
A saved schedule can be added to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook with its configured reminders. This is a one-time import, not automatic cloud synchronization; later changes must be added again.
How to interpret the content
Are research presets recommendations?
No. Presets summarize recorded source material for calculation context. They are educational references, not instructions or endorsements.
What is the compound brief?
The compound brief is a research summary that separates human, animal and laboratory findings and links to sources where available.
Does a capacity warning mean a setup is safe?
No. Capacity and precision warnings describe arithmetic and the physical limits of the selected tool. Passing those checks is not a safety clearance.
Can this website replace professional guidance?
No. The site is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for qualified medical, laboratory or regulatory guidance.
