How this was calculated

Component volume (mL) = final volume (mL) × percentage ÷ 100.

Supplement volume (mL) = target (mg/mL) × final volume (mL) ÷ stock (mg/mL).

Base = 500 − 50 = 450 mL.

Volumes are additive arithmetic estimates. Calculations retain full numeric precision; displayed values use up to five significant digits.
