DMSO have a density of 1,1 so 4,5 grams is equal to 4,09 ml
Alcohol have a density of 0,789 so 4,5 grams is equal to 5,7 ml
Hopefully this is correct.
I didn't check but likely it is correct, anyway in the end it doesn't need to be super exactly correct, DMSO is a bit heavier than water but ethanol is a bit lighter and they compensate each other out, the sum gets back as if they are water (more or less).

I don't think MK677 is necessarily a performance enhancer drug, for someone with decent GH levels (younger than 40, typically) it is very unlikely to make any difference, actually likely to cause more harm than good.
MK677 is a secretagogue, it means it stimulates our own endogenous GH production, it is very unlikely it would ever be able to lead to supraphysiological levels, research never showed anything like that to happen, very high dosage isn't going to change things either .
In this respect it isn't comparable to exogenous HGH because one can inject himself as much as wished with exogenous HGH reaching well over normal physiological levels, of course (see professional bodybuilders, HGH belly, etc...), something not achievable with MK677.
It depends by the goal, if one wishes to get an edge against the competition in regard of performance enhancing drugs MK677 would be a joke, one should aim at well over physiological GH levels on top of all the steroids and such.
But if the goal is for the not so young anymore to counteract the natural drop of endogenous GH production just to keep it in a decent range which will lead to better performances in the gym (recovery, composition, gains) than MK677 has its place and possibly a better alternative to exogenous HGH, cheaper and easier for sure.
Someone younger than 40 looking at MK677 as a cheaper and easier alternative to HGH injections in order to get jacked is just kidding himself, taking way above the recommended dosage like seen in some bodybuilding forums (50mg/day or even more, like twice a day and such) is just pure ignorance and just leading inexorably to great disappointment.
MK677 isn't just meant for that, period.
I am 56, I train hard 5 days a week, I don't take any steroids, I am quite strong and jacked, much better than most 20 years old around for sure...but gains are getting slow to come by, small injuries tend to get slower to heal, nevertheless I am doing good, still improving in despite of it all.
After 7 months on MK677 my conclusions are that it does help, it doesn't make a huge difference in gains but the ball seems starting to roll again a bit brisker, small injuries end to heal a bit faster, some little aches disappeared, nothing major but noticeable, recover seems better, more training volume and intensity for longer periods of time seems feasible....
Not a huge difference but certainly the most noticeable by far compared to "supplements".
In my experience and supported by research MK677 needs time to kick in properly, it affects first GH rising its production, than kind to drop a bit but progressively rising IGF1 which in the beginning isn't that much altered, things gets different after a while on it.
The full effects are seen after 2-3 months on it when it starts to kind of work properly, short cycles aren't the best choice in my view, this isn't anything like steroids, it doesn't lead to glands atrophy or receptors desensitization, the opposite is true, the longer on it the more effective it works.
I am not suggesting to stay on it indefinitely, cycling is likely a smart choice for a number of reasons but not short (1-2 moths) cycles, longer cycles seems better, maybe 4-6 months on and a couple off or 6 months on once a year or something of that kind.
Because it takes time to kick in properly dosage is tricky, one can be tempted to overdose in the beginning getting more sides than benefits and getting disappointed, better a conservative approach instead, eventually it would be better to start kind of low and eventually rise dosage after a couple of months if effects are lagging.
The bad of it (nothing comes for free).
Tastes terrible, sleep is affected, while at right dosage quality and length of it improves (deeper, more satisfying, vivid intense dreaming, etc...) at just slightly over dosage it gets worst, deep and restoring yes but waking up after 2-3 hours in sweat, too intense dreaming (nightmares), inability to get a full night sleep, etc...if this is you LOWER the dosage!
Lethargy, this is a big one, even at right dosage it will hit you, especially after a few months on it.
Once in gym things unexpectedly do roll along well but out of it lazing around is all what you wish, relationships might get affected too since you might find yourself just not in the mood.
Sex does good, it affects testosterone or receptors in some way because leads to be quite horny all the time, it is just that being social and talkative gets blunted a lot, sex does great.
It affects psyche, apart from leading to kind of isolate from others because of lethargy it might lead to kind of depressive feelings, someone reports the opposite, I guess it might depend from where you start from, maybe someone depression is caused by low GH, rising it fixes the issue, I strongly suspect a bell shaped effect, too little or too much leading to the same issue.
The onset of depression and lethargy will be subtle and progressive, be aware of it, likely becoming noticeable only after a few months on it (maybe dosage dependent), to know is power, if you are aware of this eventuality you'll know how to deal with it.
Last but not least, why Merck never got it on the market after passing all clinical trials (at least I and II) and spending several tens of millions of dollars on it?
Just marketing reasons or some clinical outcome not disclosed and better not disclosable?
On top of the benzyl chloroformate contaminated shabby Chinese production, of course.
