AICAR dosage chart
50 mg Vial
AICAR is dosed at 1 mg–3 mg daily via subcutaneous injection in educational protocols. A 50 mg vial reconstituted with bacteriostatic water yields about 16.7 mg/mL. This information is for research and educational use only.
- Reconstitute
- Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → ~16.7 mg/mL concentration.
- Research dosing range
- 1,000–3,000 mcg once daily (conservative gradual approach).
- Easy measuring
- At 16.7 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL ≈ 167 mcg on a U-100 insulin syringe.
- Storage
- Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F) for up to 4 weeks; avoid freeze–thaw cycles.
AICAR dosage FAQs
How much bacteriostatic water do you use to reconstitute AICAR?
Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → ~16.7 mg/mL concentration. for a 50 mg Vial vial. Add the water slowly against the inside wall of the vial and swirl — never shake — until the powder fully dissolves.
How should reconstituted AICAR be stored?
Storage: Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F) for up to 4 weeks; avoid freeze–thaw cycles..
How many insulin syringe units equal a AICAR dose?
Units depend on the water volume you used. Divide your target dose by the vial concentration to get millilitres, then multiply by 100 — 1 unit on a U-100 insulin syringe is 0.01 mL. The Spartan Peptides reconstitution calculator does this conversion for you.
Is AICAR approved for human use?
No. AICAR is sold and referenced strictly as a research chemical. Nothing on this page is medical advice and the material is not for human consumption.
Educational and research information only. Not medical advice, not for human consumption. Values are reference figures — always verify your own math with the reconstitution calculator.
On any insulin syringe, 1 unit = 0.01 mL, so unit counts above hold across brands.
