ARA-290 Reconstitution Calculator & Dosage Chart
Also known as: Cibinetide, Innate repair receptor agonist
Quick answer: mix a 10 mg vial of ARA-290 with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water. That gives 5.00 mg/ml, so a typical 4 mg dose is 80 units on a U-100 insulin syringe — about 2 doses per vial. Reported protocols range 1 mg–4 mg, daily, typically 28-day course.
ARA-290 (cibinetide) is an 11-amino-acid peptide derived from erythropoietin's tissue-protective region. It activates the innate repair receptor without stimulating red blood cells, and has been through human trials for small-fiber neuropathy in sarcoidosis and diabetes at 4 mg daily.

ARA-290 mixing chart — 10 mg vial
Units to draw for a 4 mg dose at different water amounts. More water never changes the dose — only the volume you measure.
| Water added | Concentration | 4 mg dose = | Per unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 ml | 10.00 mg/ml | 40 units | 100.0 mcg |
| 2 ml ← typical | 5.00 mg/ml | 80 units | 50.0 mcg |
| 2.5 ml | 4.00 mg/ml | 100 units | 40.0 mcg |
| 3 ml | 3.33 mg/ml | 120 units (>1 syringe) | 33.3 mcg |
| 5 ml | 2.00 mg/ml | 200 units (>1 syringe) | 20.0 mcg |
ARA-290 reconstitution by vial size — 10 mg / 20 mg
How much water for each vial size, and what a 4 mg dose becomes in syringe units. Bigger vials hold more doses; they do not change the dose.
| Vial | Water | Concentration | 4 mg dose = | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 1 ml | 10.00 mg/ml | 40 units | 2 |
| 10 mg | 2 ml | 5.00 mg/ml | 80 units | 2 |
| 10 mg | 3 ml | 3.33 mg/ml | 120 units (>1 syringe) | 2 |
| 20 mg | 2 ml | 10.00 mg/ml | 40 units | 5 |
| 20 mg | 3 ml | 6.67 mg/ml | 60 units | 5 |
| 20 mg | 5 ml | 4.00 mg/ml | 100 units | 5 |

FAQ
How much bacteriostatic water do you add to ARA-290?+
Most protocols mix a 10 mg vial of ARA-290 with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water. This gives 5.00 mg/ml, so a typical 4 mg dose is 80 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. More or less water is fine — it only changes the volume you draw, not the dose.
What is a typical ARA-290 dose?+
Commonly reported ARA-290 protocols use 1 mg to 4 mg, daily, typically 28-day course, administered via subcutaneous injection. These are reference figures from published protocols, not medical advice — individual use should be guided by a healthcare provider.
How many doses are in a 10 mg vial of ARA-290?+
At 4 mg per dose, a 10 mg vial contains about 2 doses, regardless of how much water you add.
How should ARA-290 be stored?+
Reconstituted: refrigerate, use within 3–4 weeks.
