Worked example: 10 mg vial with 2 mL water Concentration: 10 mg divided by 2 mL = 5 mg/mL For a 2.5 mg dose: 2.5 divided by 5 = 0.50 mL = 50 units For a 5 mg dose: 5 divided by 5 = 1.0 mL = 100 units For a 7.5 mg dose: 7.5 divided by 5 = 1.5 mL = 150 units (requires a larger syringe or two draws) Worked example: 30 mg vial with 3 mL water Concentration: 30 mg divided by 3 mL = 10 mg/mL For a 2.5 mg dose: 2.5 divided by 10 = 0.25 mL = 25 units For a 5 mg dose: 5 divided by 10 = 0.50 mL = 50 units For a 10 mg dose: 10 divided by 10 = 1.0 mL = 100 units For a 15 mg dose: 15 divided by 10 = 1.5 mL = 150 units Notice how the 10 mg/mL concentration makes the math cleanest
Supplements and Urine Color The color of urine is normally clear to pale yellow to very dark yellow, depending on your hydration, activity level, and diet
