For anyone reconstituting dosing arithmetic peptides: the water-to-powder ratio determines your concentration. Here's my reference:
| Vial Size | BAC Water | Concentration | 0.25mg Dose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5mg | 2mL | 2.5mg/mL | 10 units |
| 5mg | 2.5mL | 2mg/mL | 12.5 units |
| 10mg | 2mL | 5mg/mL | 5 units |
| 10mg | 3mL | 3.33mg/mL | 7.5 units |
More water = easier to measure small doses but vial runs out faster. Find the balance that works for your dose.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. I will report back once I have actually tried it.
From the other side of the consultation, briefly. The honest answer is that the effect is real, the magnitude is contested, and the individual variation is larger than either. Those three things can all be true at once, and most arguments here are two people holding different parts of that.

This is my experience too, for whatever a second data point is worth.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. Prices dramatically below market are the strongest single signal, and the reason is arithmetic rather than suspicion. Synthesis, testing, and cold-chain shipping have floors. A price well under the floor means something was skipped, and the two things that get skipped are testing and content.
