What's in the Peptide Cheat Sheet?
The peptide cheat sheet is a one-page reference that tells you how to mix, measure and cycle the most popular peptides.
Each row covers one peptide and answers the eight questions people ask me most.
- What is it for?
- How many mg come in the vial?
- How much BAC water do I add?
- What dose do I take?
- How many units is that on the syringe?
- Morning or night?
- How many days a week?
- How long do I stay on, and how long do I come off?
I built it from more than 30 years of self-experimentation and from the questions our community asks every single day.
Print it and stick it on the fridge, right next to the takeout menus you no longer need.
Cheat Sheet Preview: 10 Popular Peptides

How to Read the Units Column
The units column tells you how far to pull the plunger on a standard U-100 insulin syringe, where 100 units equals 1 ml.
You only need three steps to check any number on the sheet.
Find the concentration
Divide the mg in the vial by the ml of BAC water you add.
Find the volume
Divide your dose by the concentration.
Turn ml into units
Multiply the volume by 100.
Worked example: With BPC-157, a 10 mg vial plus 2 ml of BAC water gives you 5 mg per ml.
A 500 mcg dose is 0.5 mg, so you need 0.1 ml.
0.1 ml on a U-100 syringe is 10 units, which matches the chart.
If your vial size or water amount is different from the sheet, use my free peptide reconstitution calculator and it does the math for you.
Why Most Peptides on the Sheet Have an Off Cycle
Most rows on the sheet say 8 weeks on and 8 weeks off, or 5 days on and 2 days off, because I cycle almost everything.
Cycling gives your body a reset and keeps each peptide working the way it did in week one.
It also makes a vial last longer, which your wallet will appreciate.
A few peptides, like Epitalon, run in short bursts a few times a year instead.
The cheat sheet shows the exact schedule for each one, so you don’t have to guess.

Peptide Cheat Sheet FAQ

How Much Bacteriostatic Water Do I Add to a Peptide Vial?
Most 5 mg and 10 mg vials on the cheat sheet use 2 ml of bacteriostatic water, and a few use 3 ml.
The exact amount for each peptide is in the “BAC water” column, because it changes the units you draw.
How Many Units Is 1 ml on an Insulin Syringe?
1 ml equals 100 units on a standard U-100 insulin syringe, so 10 units is 0.1 ml.
What Is the BPC-157 Dose on the Cheat Sheet?
The cheat sheet lists 500 mcg of BPC-157 per day, which is 10 units from a 10 mg vial mixed with 2 ml of BAC water.
It runs for 8 weeks on, then 8 weeks off.
What Syringe Do I Need for Peptides?
The units on the cheat sheet are for a 1 ml (100 unit) U-100 insulin syringe.
If you use a 0.5 ml or 0.3 ml syringe, the units stay the same, but each line on the barrel is smaller, so read it carefully.
Is There a Women's Peptide Cheat Sheet?
Yes, Monica made a women’s peptide cheat sheet with doses designed for women.
Are the Peptides on the Cheat Sheet FDA Approved?
Most peptides on the cheat sheet are not FDA approved for human use, and their legal status has been changing in 2026.
The cheat sheet is for research and education, so work with a qualified practitioner before you use any peptide.
