For HGH, 1 mg is about 3 IU. So 10 IU is about 3.33 mg. But IU measures how strong something is, not how much it weighs. So the number is different for each substance. hCG is about 10,000 IU per mg. Insulin is 26.11. Pick your substance below, or set your own ratio.
3 IU per mg is the common ratio for HGH (somatropin)
| Substance | Ratio |
|---|---|
| HGH (somatropin) | 1 mg = 3 IU |
| hCG | 1 mg is about 10,000 IU |
| Insulin (human) | 1 mg = 26.11 IU (WHO standard) |
These are the commonly used reference ratios. IU is a measure of activity for one specific substance, so never reuse one substance's ratio for another. Always check your own product label.
| International units | Milligrams (mg) |
|---|---|
| 2 IU | 0.67 mg |
| 4 IU | 1.33 mg |
| 5 IU | 1.67 mg |
| 6 IU | 2.00 mg |
| 8 IU | 2.67 mg |
| 10 IU | 3.33 mg |
| 12 IU | 4.00 mg |
| 15 IU | 5.00 mg |
| 20 IU | 6.67 mg |
| 30 IU | 10.00 mg |
This chart uses the common HGH ratio. Always check the label on your own product, because the ratio can be different.
Once you have your mg, the free peptide dosage calculator turns it into the exact units to draw on your syringe.
For HGH the common ratio is 1 mg = 3 IU. So 10 IU is about 3.33 mg.
You divide the IU by the IU-per-mg ratio for that substance. For HGH the ratio is 3, so 6 IU is 2 mg.
For hCG the common ratio is about 10,000 IU per mg. So 5000 IU is about 0.5 mg. Always check your own product label.
No. IU measures activity, not weight. Each substance has its own ratio, so one number does not work for everything. The HGH number must not be used for hCG.
For human insulin the WHO standard is 26.11 IU per mg. So 1 mg is about 26.11 IU.
IU measures how much a substance does, not how much it weighs. It is used when weight alone does not describe the strength.
