Follistatin 344 Dosage & Reconstitution Guide
⚠ Myostatin-pathway peptides are among the least-validated on this site for human self-use — treat every number here as community practice, not established therapy.
Research and educational use only — not medical advice, and not for human consumption. The figures below are summarized from public sources, product labeling, and community reports, and are not a prescription or a substitute for a qualified clinician.
Reconstitution
Follistatin 344 ships as a freeze-dried (lyophilized) powder that has to be mixed with bacteriostatic water before use. Draw 1 mL of bacteriostatic water into a syringe and add it to a 1 mg vial, letting the stream run down the inside wall of the glass rather than blasting the powder directly. Swirl gently — never shake — until the solution is clear, then keep it refrigerated.
Worked example. 1 mL into a 1 mg vial gives a concentration of 1 mg/mL (1000 mcg/mL). A 200 mcg dose then works out to 0.2 mL = 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Scale the water volume up or down to make your target dose land on an easy-to-read mark (1 unit = 0.01 mL).
- Wipe both vial stoppers (peptide and bacteriostatic water) with an alcohol swab and let them dry.
- Draw 1 mL of bacteriostatic water into a syringe.
- Inject it slowly against the inside wall of the peptide vial.
- Swirl gently until fully dissolved; do not shake.
- Label the vial with the contents, concentration, and date, and store it in the refrigerator.
Dosing schedule
| Phase | Dose | Volume | Insulin units (U-100) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Days 1–7 | 50 mcg | 0.05 mL | 5 units | once daily (starter) |
| Days 8+ | 100 mcg | 0.1 mL | 10 units | once daily |
| Upper community range | 200 mcg | 0.2 mL | 20 units | short blocks only |
Timing & cycling
Morning or post-training; consistency over clock time.
Cycle length. Community runs are short — 10–30 days — with long breaks between. This is not a continuous-use compound.
Storage & handling
Keep the lyophilized (unmixed) vial refrigerated at 2–8 °C (36–46 °F) in a dry, dark place — it tolerates short periods at room temperature during shipping. Once reconstituted, store it at 2–8 °C, never frozen, and use it within about 2–4 weeks (sooner if the solution turns cloudy or discolored). Swab the stopper before every draw and use a fresh needle each time.
Supplies you'll need
- Follistatin 344 vials — about 12 for an 8-week run at the upper dose
- Bacteriostatic water — 1 mL per vial (a 10–30 mL multi-dose bottle covers several vials)
- U-100 insulin syringes (0.3–0.5 mL / 30–50 unit barrels are easiest to read) — roughly 56 for 8 weeks, plus spares
- Alcohol swabs — one per injection and one per vial draw
- Sharps container for safe needle disposal
Key points
- Usually sold in 1 mg vials — an entire vial is 3–10 days of use; cost adds up fast.
- The impressive imagery comes from gene-therapy animal work, not from injecting the peptide — expectations should be modest.
What to monitor
Tendon and joint complaints are the early warning — muscle tissue can outpace connective tissue. Back off loading if joints start talking.
