Vitadel Protocol Guides
Practical guides on reconstitution math, dose logging, site rotation, and private tracking. Each guide leads with the answer, then the details.
Reconstitution & dose math
- Bacteriostatic Water vs Sterile Water: What Changes After You Mix
One water is preserved and one is not. That decides how long a punctured vial stays usable, and what to write on the label. · 7 min read
- Common Peptide Dose Math Mistakes (With Worked Fixes)
The eight errors that happen in practice, each shown wrong, shown right, and paired with the check that catches it. · 8 min read
- Peptide Blend Math: What Each Component Is in a Single Draw
Each component gets its own concentration from the same water volume. A 10-unit draw carries all of them in the label's ratio. · 6 min read
- Peptide Reconstitution Math: Vial, BAC Water, and U-100 Units
What reconstitution is, the three numbers that set every draw, and a worked example from a 5 mg vial to 10 units. · 8 min read
- Sterile Technique Checklist for Peptide Reconstitution
The setup, the mixing sequence, the per-dose sequence, and an honest account of what a kitchen counter cannot deliver. · 7 min read
- U-100 Syringes and Needles: Units, Gauge, and Length Explained
The unit scale measures liquid, not drug. What each syringe size can hold, how the marks are spaced, and what the gauge and length numbers mean. · 7 min read
Logging, sites & vials
- GLP-1 Dose Tracking: Titration Logs Without Guessing the Syringe
Milligrams are prescribed, units are drawn, and a concentration change between refills is where records fall apart. · 7 min read
- How to Log a Peptide or GLP-1 Dose So You Can Trust the Record
Six fields, written down at the moment of injection, turn a pile of entries into a record you can hand to a clinician. · 7 min read
- Injection Site Rotation: Why It Matters and a Simple System
Lipohypertrophy is the documented reason to rotate. A numbered grid beats trying to remember where you went last. · 7 min read
- Logging Multiple Compounds Without Mixing Up the Record
Identical unit counts from different vials are the trap. One entry per compound, each pointing at its vial, is the way out. · 6 min read
- Nutrition Logging Next to a GLP-1 Protocol
Total intake, protein, fiber, fluids, and a one-line symptom note, logged next to the dose interval they belong to. · 7 min read
- Traveling With Refrigerated Vials: Packing, Screening, and Temperature Logs
Carry-on, insulated packing that never touches ice directly, and a temperature log that answers the question when you land. · 6 min read
- Vial Inventory: How to Track Reconstituted Peptides
Four fields per vial replace the spreadsheet, and remaining doses become arithmetic instead of a guess. · 7 min read
Privacy & research literacy
- How to Read Peptide Research: A Five-Minute Source Check
Species, sample size, endpoint, publication status, and funding: five questions that resolve most peptide claims in five minutes. · 8 min read
- Private Health Tracking on iPhone: Local-First vs Cloud Peptide Apps
Where your dose log physically lives decides who can read it, who has to be breached to expose it, and whether you can delete it. · 7 min read
