Select Target Dose
Enter the Melanotan 2 amount you want to compute. MT-2 is dosed in micrograms, so 0.5mg equals 500mcg.
Enter Vial Size
Input the total Melanotan 2 amount in your vial. Most MT-2 research vials come in 10mg (and sometimes 5mg) sizes.
Set Water Volume
Select how much bacteriostatic water you'll add. 2mL is a common choice for a 10mg MT-2 vial.

Concentration = MT-2 Vial Strength ÷ Water Volume = mg/mL
Units to Draw = (Desired Dose ÷ Concentration) × 100
Doses per Vial = MT-2 Vial Strength ÷ Desired Dose
Melanotan 2 Dosing Questions
How do you calculate a Melanotan 2 dose?
Divide the vial strength (mg) by the bacteriostatic water added (mL) to get concentration (mg/mL). Divide your target dose by that concentration to get the volume to draw (mL), then multiply by 100 for U-100 insulin-syringe units. This calculator does all three automatically.
How much bacteriostatic water should I add to a 10 mg Melanotan 2 vial?
Any volume works — it changes the concentration, not the total peptide. Adding 2 mL to a 10 mg vial gives 5 mg/mL, so a 500 mcg draw is 0.1 mL (10 units). More water makes small doses easier to measure.
What is a typical Melanotan 2 research dose?
Research and community protocols often reference amounts around 250–500 mcg, but Melanotan 2 is an unapproved compound studied for research only. This tool computes whatever target you enter and does not recommend a dose.
How many units is a 500 mcg Melanotan 2 dose?
It depends on reconstitution. At 5 mg/mL (10 mg in 2 mL), 500 mcg = 0.1 mL = 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Adjust the inputs above to match your vial.
How many doses are in a 10 mg Melanotan 2 vial?
Divide vial strength by dose. A 10 mg vial provides 20 doses of 500 mcg or 40 doses of 250 mcg, before any handling losses.
Is Melanotan 2 FDA approved?
No. Melanotan 2 is not approved by the FDA for any use and carries documented safety concerns. Material sold as Melanotan 2 is for laboratory research use only and is not for human consumption.
What syringe should I use to measure Melanotan 2?
A U-100 insulin syringe, because MT-2 draws are small (often 0.1–0.2 mL). The unit value from this calculator maps directly to the markings on a U-100 syringe.
