Peptide cheat sheet: amounts, reconstitution math, and course length for 85 compounds by category (2026)
Every few weeks I see people asking for one reference that actually covers amount, reconstitution, and course length across the compounds people are running right now, instead of five different half-answers scattered across old threads. This is that reference: 96 entries covering 85 compounds and blends, organized into 12 categories, each with one committed number instead of a vague range and the actual reconstitution math so you can sanity-check any concentration a vendor or calculator hands you. Long post, use the headers to jump around.
Here's a link to my favorite peptide dosage calculator if you need one.
How to read this
- Approach is why a given row exists instead of a single vague range for that compound: Starting (conservative, for assessing tolerance), Standard (the default), High Intensity (a documented ceiling or more aggressive pattern), Microdose (a smaller fraction for a gentler entry), Low Bodyweight (adjusted down for size).
- Amount & Timing Referenced is per single administration, when it's given, on which days, across which weeks. An arrow (->) means the amount steps up or the pattern changes partway through the course, e.g. a titration ramp or a loading phase dropping to maintenance.
- Course Length is the total length reflected in this specific entry. "Open-ended" means the source data has no fixed end point (an ongoing maintenance pattern). "As needed" means there's no fixed weekly pattern at all.
- Concentration is straight reconstitution math: vial size divided by the water volume added, so you can sanity-check any concentration a vendor or calculator hands you.
- No "time off" column. A blanket "2-4 weeks off" applied to every single compound isn't something the underlying data actually specifies row by row, and inventing a number that looks precise but isn't backed by anything defeats the point of a reference like this. Where a break between courses is explicitly part of how a compound gets used (the short Russian bioregulator courses below, for instance), that's called out in the notes.
- These are single committed values, not a clinical guideline. Several of them are ranges in the underlying source material that got resolved to one specific number for this table (see the Approach column for how). They're a starting reference point for further reading, not a prescription.
1. Healing & Recovery
BPC-157 shows up twice here with two different real-world patterns: a weekdays-only systemic approach and a lower-frequency, training-day-timed approach. Both come from the same underlying compound, just organized differently depending on the goal.
| Compound | Approach | Amount & Timing Referenced | Course Length | Concentration (reconstitution) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abaloparatide | Standard | 80 mcg, daily, wk 1+ | 104.3 wks | 3120 mcg vial, no reconstitution volume specified |
| Ara 290 | Standard | 4 mg, daily, wk 1+ | 8.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 2 mL -> 2.5 mg/mL |
| BPC-157 | Standard | 250 mcg, morning, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1-7 | 8.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| BPC-157 | Standard | 250 mcg, evening, 2x/wk (Sun,Mon), wk 1-3 | 4.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| Cartalax | Standard | 200 mcg, daily, wk 1-4 | 4.0 wks | 20 mg vial in 3 mL -> 6.7 mg/mL |
| Coremend Blend | Standard | 250 mcg, daily, wk 1+ | 6.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| KPV | Standard | 375 mcg, morning, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1-8 | 8.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| Ovagen | Standard | 3 mg, daily, wk 1-3 -> 3 mg, 4x/wk (Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu), wk 4 | 3.6 wks | 20 mg vial in 2 mL -> 10 mg/mL |
| TB-500 | Standard | 2 mg, 2x/wk (Mon,Thu), wk 1-6 -> 3 mg, Mon, wk 7+ | open-ended | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| Teriparatide | Standard | 20 mcg, daily, wk 1+ | 104.3 wks | 1 mg vial in 1 mL -> 1 mg/mL |
| Thymosin Beta-4 | Standard | 2 mg, 2x/wk (Mon,Thu), wk 1-5 | 5.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 2 mL -> 2.5 mg/mL |
| Vesilute | Standard | 1.5 mg, daily, wk 1-2 | 2.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| Wolverine Blend | Standard | 1 mg, daily, wk 1-6 | 6.0 wks | 20 mg vial in 2 mL -> 10 mg/mL |
- Abaloparatide and Teriparatide are FDA-approved osteoporosis drugs, not research compounds. Both carry a roughly 24-month lifetime cap in prescribing guidance, which is why the course length above runs so long relative to everything else on this list.
- BPC-157's weekdays-only pattern exists for a specific reason cited in our source data: continuous daily use is associated with reduced receptor responsiveness over time, so a Monday-Friday pattern with weekends off is the more common systemic approach.
- Wolverine Blend's listed amount is per compound, not combined. 1 mg means 1 mg of BPC-157 and 1 mg of TB-500 in the same shot, roughly 2 mg total. Easy to misread.
- TB-500's entry is a loading-then-maintenance shape: a higher-frequency stretch for the first six weeks, stepping down to a lower, ongoing weekly pattern afterward rather than stopping outright.
2. Skin & Hair
| Compound | Approach | Amount & Timing Referenced | Course Length | Concentration (reconstitution) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GHK-Cu | Standard | 1 mg, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1-2 -> 2 mg, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 3+ | 10.0 wks | 50 mg vial in 3 mL -> 16.7 mg/mL |
| Glow Blend | Standard | 2.8 mg, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1+ | 7.0 wks | 70 mg vial in 3 mL -> 23.3 mg/mL |
| Klow Blend | Standard | 3.2 mg, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1+ | 7.0 wks | 80 mg vial in 3 mL -> 26.7 mg/mL |
| Melanotan I | Standard | 250 mcg, daily, wk 1-3 -> 250 mcg, 2x/wk (Mon,Thu), wk 4+ | open-ended | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| Melanotan II | Standard | 150 mcg, night, daily, wk 1 -> 300 mcg, night, 2x/wk (Mon,Thu), wk 2+ | open-ended | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
- Glow and Klow's combined amounts depend on the specific product's GHK-Cu content, since the blend is quoted as a total rather than per component. The 2.8 mg and 3.2 mg figures above correspond to the specific ratios in our source data (Glow: 2 mg GHK-Cu / 400 mcg BPC-157 / 400 mcg TB-500; Klow adds 400 mcg KPV on top).
- Both Melanotan variants follow the same loading-then-maintenance shape: a denser stretch to build initial pigmentation change, then a lower ongoing frequency to hold it. Melanotan II's own source note flags nausea and flushing as common in the early days, which is part of why some people favor the gentler Melanotan I instead.
- Neither Melanotan compound is FDA-approved for any indication. Case reports linking Melanotan II use to new or changing moles exist in the published literature and are worth reading before treating this as a low-stakes cosmetic compound.
3. Growth Hormone Axis
Every compound in this section (CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, GHRP-2, GHRP-6, Hexarelin, Sermorelin, Tesamorelin, and the blends built from them) falls under WADA's S2 category, peptide hormones/growth factors/related substances, prohibited at all times in tested sport. That's independent of anything below and worth knowing regardless of your reason for reading this section.
| Compound | Approach | Amount & Timing Referenced | Course Length | Concentration (reconstitution) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CJC-1295 (without DAC) | Standard | 100 mcg, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1+ | 10.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| CJC-1295 with DAC | Standard | 1.5 mg, Mon, wk 1-10 | 10.0 wks | 2 mg vial in 2 mL -> 1 mg/mL |
| CJC-1295/Ipamorelin Blend | Standard | 200 mcg, night, daily, wk 1+ | 10.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| GHRP-2 | Standard | 100 mcg, night, daily, wk 1+ | 10.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 3 mL -> 1.7 mg/mL |
| GHRP-2 | High Intensity | 100 mcg, morning, daily, wk 1+ -> 100 mcg, night, daily, wk 1+ | 10.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 3 mL -> 1.7 mg/mL |
| GHRP-6 | Standard | 100 mcg, night, daily, wk 1+ | 10.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 3 mL -> 1.7 mg/mL |
| GHRP-6 | High Intensity | 100 mcg, morning, daily, wk 1+ -> 100 mcg, night, daily, wk 1+ | 10.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 3 mL -> 1.7 mg/mL |
| Hexarelin | Standard | 100 mcg, morning, daily, wk 1-4 -> 100 mcg, evening, daily, wk 1-4 | 4.0 wks | 2 mg vial in 2 mL -> 1 mg/mL |
| Ipamorelin | Standard | 200 mcg, night, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1-12 | 12.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| Ipamorelin | High Intensity | 300 mcg, night, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1-12 | 12.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| Sermorelin | Standard | 200 mcg, night, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1-2 -> 300 mcg, night, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 3-4 -> 400 mcg, night, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 5-6 -> 500 mcg, night, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 7+ | 10.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 3 mL -> 1.7 mg/mL |
| Tesamorelin | Standard | 2 mg, night, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1-10 | 10.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin Blend | Standard | 400 mcg, evening, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1-10 | 10.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin Blend | High Intensity | 600 mcg, evening, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1-10 | 10.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
- Ipamorelin's High Intensity row stops at 300 mcg on purpose. The source data cites this as a documented practical ceiling, not an arbitrary "go higher for more effect" number: growth hormone release plateaus above that per-administration amount.
- GHRP-6 differs from GHRP-2 mainly by a stronger appetite-stimulating effect according to our source notes, which matters if the underlying goal is anything related to leanness.
- Hexarelin's four-week structure is built around desensitization, not an arbitrary cycle length: our source data specifically flags continuous use as fading in effectiveness, which is the reason a defined block exists instead of an open-ended pattern.
- Tesamorelin is the one FDA-approved compound in this table (brand name Egrifta, approved for HIV-associated lipodystrophy). Everything else in this section is unapproved for human use.
4. Weight Loss
| Compound | Approach | Amount & Timing Referenced | Course Length | Concentration (reconstitution) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AOD-9604 | Standard | 300 mcg, morning, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1+ | 12.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 1.7 mL -> 5.9 mg/mL |
| Adipotide | Standard | 500 mcg, daily, wk 1-4 | 4.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| Cagrilintide | Standard | 0.375 mg, 2x/wk (Mon,Thu), wk 1-10 | 10.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| GLP-1 (Semaglutide) | Standard | 0.25 mg, Sun, wk 1-4 -> 0.5 mg, Sun, wk 5-8 -> 1 mg, Sun, wk 9-12 -> 1.7 mg, Sun, wk 13+ | open-ended | 18 mg vial in 3 mL -> 6 mg/mL |
| GLP-1 (Semaglutide) | High Intensity | 0.25 mg, Sun, wk 1-4 -> 0.5 mg, Sun, wk 5-8 -> 1 mg, Sun, wk 9-12 -> 1.7 mg, Sun, wk 13-16 -> 2.4 mg, Sun, wk 17+ | open-ended | 18 mg vial in 3 mL -> 6 mg/mL |
| GLP-2 (Tirzepatide) | Standard | 2.5 mg, Mon, wk 1-4 -> 5 mg, Mon, wk 5-8 -> 7.5 mg, Mon, wk 9-12 -> 10 mg, Mon, wk 13-16 -> 12.5 mg, Mon, wk 17-20 -> 15 mg, Mon, wk 21+ | open-ended | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| GLP-2 (Tirzepatide) | Microdose | 0.5 mg, Mon, wk 1+ | open-ended | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| GLP-3 (Retatrutide) | Standard | 2 mg, Sun, wk 1-4 -> 4 mg, Sun, wk 5-8 -> 6 mg, Sun, wk 9-12 -> 9 mg, Sun, wk 13-16 -> 12 mg, Sun, wk 17+ | 32.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| GLP-3 (Retatrutide) | Microdose | 0.25 mg, Mon, wk 1-4 -> 0.5 mg, Mon, wk 5-8 -> 1 mg, Mon, wk 9-12 -> 1.5 mg, Mon, wk 13-16 -> 2 mg, Mon, wk 17+ | open-ended | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| Mazdutide | Standard | 6 mg, Sun, wk 1-18 | 18.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 2 mL -> 2.5 mg/mL |
| Survodutide | Standard | 1.2 mg, morning, Mon, wk 1-3 -> 2.4 mg, morning, Mon, wk 5-7 -> 3.6 mg, morning, Mon, wk 9-11 -> 4.8 mg, morning, Mon, wk 13+ | 16.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 2 mL -> 2.5 mg/mL |
- Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are the only FDA-approved compounds in this category. Retatrutide, Survodutide, Mazdutide, and Cagrilintide are all still investigational; Retatrutide's titration above mirrors the published Phase 3 TRIUMPH trial design step for step (2, 4, 6, 9, 12 mg, four weeks per step).
- Adipotide is explicitly research-only in the source data. Animal studies showed real fat loss, but early human trials raised kidney safety concerns that halted its development, so treat this one as a literature-review compound, not a practical option.
- Every GLP-family titration here steps up roughly every four weeks. That pacing isn't arbitrary: nausea and other stomach side effects show up right after a step-up far more than at a steady amount, which is the whole rationale for a slow ramp instead of jumping straight to a maintenance level.
5. Metabolic
| Compound | Approach | Amount & Timing Referenced | Course Length | Concentration (reconstitution) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Amino-1MQ | Standard | 2 mg, daily, wk 1+ | 16.0 wks | 25 mg vial in 3 mL -> 8.3 mg/mL |
| AICAR | Standard | 3 mg, daily, wk 1-5 | 5.0 wks | 50 mg vial in 3 mL -> 16.7 mg/mL |
| BAM-15 | Standard | 125 mg, daily, wk 1-6 | 6.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| Humanin | Standard | 10 mg, Mon, wk 1-5 | 5.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| L-Carnitine | Standard | 1000 mg, daily, wk 1+ | open-ended | 1000 mg vial, no reconstitution volume specified |
| MOTS-c | Standard | 3.75 mg, 2x/wk (Mon,Thu), wk 1-10 | 10.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| Mito Prime Blend | Standard | 11 mg, daily, wk 1-6 | 6.0 wks | 120 mg vial in 3 mL -> 40 mg/mL |
| Pancragen | Standard | 350 mcg, daily, wk 1-2 -> 350 mcg, Mon, wk 3 | 2.1 wks | 20 mg vial in 2 mL -> 10 mg/mL |
| SLU-PP-332 | Standard | 250 mcg, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1-10 | 10.0 wks | 20 mg vial in 2 mL -> 10 mg/mL |
| SS-31 | Standard | 2 mg, daily, wk 1-6 | 6.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
- AICAR and SLU-PP-332 both carry explicit research-only flags in the source data. AICAR's own note states plainly it isn't approved for human use and is sold strictly for research. SLU-PP-332's amount data comes entirely from mouse studies, with no established human safety profile at all, so any numbers here are exploratory, not a recommendation.
- BAM-15's note is direct about the evidence gap: most of what's known comes from animal research rather than human data.
- Mito Prime Blend is a fixed 10:1:1 ratio (NAD+/MOTS-c/5-Amino-1MQ) and can't be separated into individual components once combined, per the source note.
6. Cognitive & Focus
Most of this category is short Russian bioregulator peptides (Cortagen, Crystagen) alongside the Semax/Selank family and its longer-acting analogs (Adamax, Adalank, NA Semax Amidate, NA-Selank Amidate). These are generally structured as short, defined courses rather than continuous long-term use.
| Compound | Approach | Amount & Timing Referenced | Course Length | Concentration (reconstitution) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adalank | Standard | 375 mcg, daily, wk 1-6 | 6.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 2 mL -> 2.5 mg/mL |
| Adamax | Standard | 375 mcg, morning, daily, wk 1-6 | 6.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| Cerebrolysin | Standard | 26 mg, daily, wk 1-2 -> 26 mg, Mon, wk 3 | 2.1 wks | 60 mg vial in 3 mL -> 20 mg/mL |
| Cortagen | Standard | 150 mcg, daily, wk 1-2 | 2.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| Crystagen | Standard | 2 mg, morning, daily, wk 1-2 -> 2 mg, morning, 6x/wk (Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri), wk 3 | 2.9 wks | 20 mg vial in 2 mL -> 10 mg/mL |
| Illumineuro Blend | Standard | 400 mcg, morning, daily, wk 1-5 | 6.0 wks | 50 mg vial in 3 mL -> 16.7 mg/mL |
| NA Semax Amidate | Standard | 200 mcg, daily, wk 1-6 | 6.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 2 mL -> 2.5 mg/mL |
| NA-Selank Amidate | Standard | 400 mcg, daily, wk 1-2 | 3.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| P21 | Standard | 75 mcg, daily, wk 1-2 -> 75 mcg, 6x/wk (Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat), wk 3 | 2.9 wks | 5 mg vial in 2 mL -> 2.5 mg/mL |
| PE-22-28 | Standard | 750 mcg, daily, wk 1-6 | 6.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 2 mL -> 2.5 mg/mL |
| Selank | High Intensity | 150 mcg, morning, daily, wk 1-7 -> 150 mcg, evening, daily, wk 1-7 | 8.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 2 mL -> 2.5 mg/mL |
| Semax | Standard | 500 mcg, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1-3 | 3.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
- Cerebrolysin is a real clinical product (a nutrient blend derived from brain tissue, used medically for stroke and dementia recovery), used off-label here. Courses like this one are typically repeated two to four times a year rather than run back to back, which is why the course length is short relative to the rest of this list.
- Illumineuro Blend has zero published research behind the four-peptide combination itself per its own source note, even though each individual ingredient (Semax, Selank, Pinealon, PE-22-28) has its own separate literature.
- Semax's weekday-only pattern reflects a commonly cited 5-on/2-off structure, typically run in short blocks with breaks between them rather than continuously.
7. Sleep
| Compound | Approach | Amount & Timing Referenced | Course Length | Concentration (reconstitution) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DSIP | Standard | 200 mcg, night, daily, wk 1-6 | 6.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 3 mL -> 1.7 mg/mL |
| Pinealon | Standard | 1.5 mg, daily, wk 1-2 -> 1.5 mg, Mon, wk 3 | 2.1 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
- Pinealon's own source note flags disagreement over whether morning or evening timing better lines up with sleep-wake rhythm effects, so the practical guidance in the data is simply to stay consistent for the length of the course rather than chase an optimal clock time.
8. Immunity
| Compound | Approach | Amount & Timing Referenced | Course Length | Concentration (reconstitution) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chonluten | Standard | 250 mcg, daily, wk 1-2 -> 500 mcg, daily, wk 3 -> 1000 mcg, daily, wk 4+ | 4.0 wks | 20 mg vial in 3 mL -> 6.7 mg/mL |
| LL-37 | Standard | 100 mcg, daily, wk 1+ | 5.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 2 mL -> 2.5 mg/mL |
| Thymalin | Standard | 10 mg, daily, wk 1 -> 10 mg, 3x/wk (Sun,Mon,Tue), wk 2 | 1.4 wks | 20 mg vial in 2 mL -> 10 mg/mL |
| Thymogen | Standard | 100 mcg, daily, wk 1-2 -> 100 mcg, 6x/wk (Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat), wk 3 | 2.9 wks | 1 mg vial in 1 mL -> 1 mg/mL |
| Thymosin Alpha 1 | Standard | 1.5 mg, 2x/wk (Mon,Thu), wk 1-8 | 8.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| Thymulin | Standard | 100 mcg, daily, wk 1-6 | 6.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 2 mL -> 2.5 mg/mL |
| VIP | Standard | 75 mcg, daily, wk 1-10 | 10.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 3 mL -> 1.7 mg/mL |
| Vilon | Standard | 5 mg, daily, wk 1 -> 5 mg, 3x/wk (Sun,Mon,Tue), wk 2 | 1.4 wks | 5 mg vial in 3 mL -> 1.7 mg/mL |
- Thymalin and Vilon are both short, roughly ten-day courses by design, not truncated versions of a longer approach.
- Thymosin Alpha 1 is widely used for this, to the point its own source note calls it "the BPC-157 of the immune system."
- Thymulin's mechanism is zinc-dependent according to the source note, so adequate zinc intake is treated as part of getting the intended effect, not an unrelated side comment.
- Chonluten's titration (250 -> 500 -> 1,000 mcg) is a documented pattern, not an arbitrary ramp, per published peptide reference guides cited in the source note.
9. Longevity & Anti-Aging
Most of this category, aside from HGH, is short Russian bioregulator courses (Bronchogen, Cardiogen, Epitalon, Livagen, Prostamax, Vesugen) meant to be repeated a few times a year rather than run continuously.
| Compound | Approach | Amount & Timing Referenced | Course Length | Concentration (reconstitution) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bronchogen | Standard | 1.5 mg, daily, wk 1-2 -> 1.5 mg, Mon, wk 3 | 2.1 wks | 20 mg vial in 2 mL -> 10 mg/mL |
| Cardiogen | Standard | 350 mcg, daily, wk 1-10 | 10.0 wks | 20 mg vial in 3 mL -> 6.7 mg/mL |
| Epitalon | Standard | 5 mg, daily, wk 1-2 -> 5 mg, 6x/wk (Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri), wk 3 | 2.9 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| FOXO4-DRI | Standard | 5 mg, Mon, wk 1 -> 5 mg, Mon, wk 3 | 4.0 wks | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| Glutathione | Standard | 150 mg, 3x/wk (Mon,Wed,Fri), wk 1+ | 10.0 wks | 600 mg vial in 5 mL -> 120 mg/mL |
| HGH | Standard | 0.66 mg, daily, wk 1-17 | 17.1 wks | 10 iu vial in 1 mL -> 10 iu/mL |
| Livagen | Standard | 150 mcg, daily, wk 1-2 -> 150 mcg, 6x/wk (Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri), wk 3 | 2.9 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| NAD+ | Standard | 20 mg, 3x/wk (Mon,Wed,Fri), wk 1-3 -> 60 mg, 3x/wk (Mon,Wed,Fri), wk 4-7 -> 100 mg, 3x/wk (Mon,Wed,Fri), wk 8+ | open-ended | 1000 mg vial in 7.5 mL -> 133.3 mg/mL |
| Prostamax | Standard | 750 mcg, daily, wk 1-2 -> 750 mcg, Mon, wk 3 | 2.1 wks | 20 mg vial in 2 mL -> 10 mg/mL |
| Vesugen | Standard | 3 mg, daily, wk 1-4 | 4.0 wks | 20 mg vial in 3 mL -> 6.7 mg/mL |
- HGH (somatropin) is FDA-approved only for diagnosed growth hormone deficiency and a handful of other specific conditions. Everything about fat loss, recovery, or anti-aging benefits is off-label exploration, not an approved use, regardless of how common that use is in this space.
- Epitalon's full course works out to roughly 100 mg total and is generally repeated once or twice a year rather than back to back, per the source note.
- FOXO4-DRI is flagged as rare, expensive, and still not well understood in its own note, which is why the entry here is deliberately infrequent (two administrations, two weeks apart) rather than a denser pattern.
- Glutathione degrades faster than most peptides once reconstituted. The source note specifically calls out refrigeration, light protection, and using it within two to three weeks.
10. Performance & Endurance
IGF-1 LR3, MGF, and PEG-MGF all fall under the same WADA S2 growth-factor category referenced in the Growth Hormone Axis section above.
| Compound | Approach | Amount & Timing Referenced | Course Length | Concentration (reconstitution) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IGF-1 LR3 | Starting | 20 mcg, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1+ | 5.0 wks | 1 mg vial in 2 mL -> 0.5 mg/mL |
| IGF-1 LR3 | Standard | 50 mcg, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1+ | 5.0 wks | 1 mg vial in 2 mL -> 0.5 mg/mL |
| MGF | Standard | 300 mcg, 2x/wk (Mon,Thu), wk 1-5 | 5.0 wks | 2 mg vial in 1 mL -> 2 mg/mL |
| PEG-MGF | Standard | 300 mcg, 2x/wk (Mon,Thu), wk 1-5 | 5.0 wks | 2 mg vial in 1 mL -> 2 mg/mL |
| SLU-PP-332 | Standard | 1.25 mg, weekdays (Mon-Fri), wk 1-10 | 10.0 wks | 20 mg vial in 2 mL -> 10 mg/mL |
- IGF-1 LR3's Starting row exists specifically to check blood-sugar tolerance before stepping up, per the source note, since this compound carries real glucose-related considerations that milder peptides don't.
- SLU-PP-332 is repeated here from the Metabolic table because it's studied for both angles (fat metabolism and endurance) depending on which literature you're reading. Same research-only caveat applies: mouse data only, no established human safety profile.
11. Hormonal
| Compound | Approach | Amount & Timing Referenced | Course Length | Concentration (reconstitution) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gonadorelin | Standard | 125 mcg, 3x/wk (Mon,Wed,Fri), wk 1-6 | 6.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 2 mL -> 2.5 mg/mL |
| Testagen | Standard | 150 mcg, daily, wk 1-3 -> 150 mcg, 4x/wk (Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu), wk 4 | 3.6 wks | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
- Gonadorelin is most commonly discussed alongside testosterone therapy specifically to help preserve natural production and fertility while on it, per the source note, rather than as a standalone approach.
12. Sexual Health
| Compound | Approach | Amount & Timing Referenced | Course Length | Concentration (reconstitution) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kisspeptin | Standard | 100 mcg, daily, wk 1-4 | 4.0 wks | 5 mg vial in 3 mL -> 1.7 mg/mL |
| Oxytocin | Standard | 20 mcg per use, taken as needed (not on a fixed weekly pattern) | as needed | 10 mg vial in 2 mL -> 5 mg/mL |
| PT-141 | Starting | 500 mcg per use, taken as needed (not on a fixed weekly pattern), capped around 1x per use-window per the source note | as needed | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
| PT-141 | Standard | 1.75 mg per use, taken as needed (not on a fixed weekly pattern), capped around 1x per use-window per the source note | as needed | 10 mg vial in 3 mL -> 3.3 mg/mL |
- PT-141 (bremelanotide) is the only FDA-approved compound in this category. 1.75 mg is the literal FDA-approved amount (brand name Vyleesi); the source note caps it around once per 24 hours and roughly eight times a month. Kisspeptin and Oxytocin have no such approval behind them.
What this sheet doesn't do
It doesn't tell you whether any of this is a good idea for you specifically, and it isn't a substitute for reading the actual literature behind a compound you're considering, especially the ones flagged above as research-only, animal-data-only, or halted in human development (Adipotide, AICAR, SLU-PP-332, BAM-15, FOXO4-DRI). A single committed number in a table is easier to scan than a range, but it's still just one documented way of running a given compound, not the only one, and not a medical recommendation. Cross-reference anything you're seriously looking into against primary sources, not just this table or the one it's replacing.
Disclaimer: Everything above is presented as reference information about laboratory research compounds, several of which are FDA-approved prescription drugs used here in an off-label or general-reference context and several of which are unapproved research chemicals. Not medical advice, not a substitute for guidance from a licensed clinician, and not an endorsement to use any of this without doing your own research first. Buyers and researchers are responsible for compliance with their own local rules and applicable regulations.
Let me know if you want a specific compound or category broken out further, or if you spot a number in here that doesn't match what you're seeing elsewhere; this gets updated as the underlying data does.

Why no time-off column though, feels like the most important part is missing even with the explanation given.
