Peptide Research

How do I reconstitute it?

Taken orally, not injected. The powder is sold in 5 mg and 50 mg vials; researchers either use pre-made capsules or dissolve a vial's contents in a small amount of water and drink it. Because there is no syringe involved, amounts are measured by weight rather than in insulin units - a 50 mg vial roughly equals one common daily dose.

Common dosing schedule

Once daily in the morning, with or without food; some split it into AM and PM doses

Do I need a prescription?

Not FDA approved and not a prescription drug; sold for research use only

How long until I see results?

Anecdotal reports mention more energy within about 2 weeks; body-composition changes, if any, over 8-12 weeks

How do I reconstitute it?

Not applicable — this is not administered as a self-prepared peptide product, so there is no home reconstitution step.

Common dosing schedule

Omega-3 fatty acids: trials gave Alzheimer's patients 1.7 g DHA plus 0.6 g EPA daily to affect inflammatory mediators.

How long until I see results?

Not applicable — this is a research target/reagent, not a treatment with a results timeframe.

How do I reconstitute it?

Supplied as a freeze-dried (lyophilised) powder that must be reconstituted before use. Draw bacteriostatic water into an insulin syringe and inject it slowly down the inside wall of the vial (do not squirt directly onto the powder). Swirl gently — never shake — until fully dissolved, then store refrigerated. Worked example: adding 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg vial gives a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 mcg/mL), so a 250 mcg dose = 0.10 mL = 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Scale the water volume to whatever makes your target dose land on an easy-to-read mark.

Draw bacteriostatic water into an insulin syringe and inject it slowly down the inside wall of the vial (do not squirt directly onto the powder). Swirl gently — never shake — until fully dissolved, then store refrigerated. Worked example: adding 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg vial gives a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 mcg/mL), so a 250 mcg dose = 0.10 mL = 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Scale the water volume to whatever makes your target dose land on an easy-to-read mark.

Common dosing schedule

Typical range: 100-300 mcg per shot, taken 2-3 times a day.

Do I need a prescription?

No legal prescription exists. It is an unapproved research chemical, sold only for laboratory research and labelled 'not for human consumption.' It is not FDA-approved for any human use.

Appetite suppression is often noticed within days to 2 weeks; meaningful weight change accrues over roughly 8-16+ weeks.

How do I reconstitute it?

Reconstitute the 1500 mg vial with 3 mL of bacteriostatic water for 500 mg/mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe that makes 200 mg = 40 units, 400 mg = 80 units, and 600 mg = 120 units. Because 600 mg is 120 units it exceeds one full syringe and should be split into two injections at separate sites, or given IM. Keeping the water at 3 mL keeps the volume low for comfortable injection.

Common dosing schedule

Common pattern is 200-600 mg, 1-3x per week; start at 200 mg to assess tolerance and increase toward 400-600 mg for antioxidant or cosmetic goals.

Growth-hormone-releasing peptides often improve sleep and recovery within the first 1-2 weeks; visible body-composition changes take 8-12+ weeks.

How do I reconstitute it?

A 10 IU vial reconstituted with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water yields 10 IU/mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe, 1 mL = 100 units, so each unit holds 0.1 IU. That means 1 IU = 10 units and 2 IU = 20 units. Keep total water at or below 3 mL. Roughly 1 IU is about 0.33 mg of somatropin, so a 10 IU vial holds about 3.3 mg. Store reconstituted vials refrigerated.

Common dosing schedule

Once-daily subcutaneous injection, typically 5-7 days per week. Higher-dose protocols split the daily amount between morning and pre-bed. Start low (1 IU) and escalate slowly.

Do I need a prescription?

Somatropin is an FDA-approved prescription drug for growth hormone deficiency and certain other conditions. Anti-aging, athletic, and bodybuilding use is off-label and not FDA-approved, and research-vendor product is sold not for human consumption. Banned by WADA.

Deeper sleep and increased appetite are frequently reported within the first 1-2 weeks; body-composition effects take 8-12+ weeks.

How do I reconstitute it?

Reconstitute a 1 mg (1,000 mcg) vial with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water to make 1,000 mcg/mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 mL), each unit holds 10 mcg, so 20 mcg = 2 units, 40 mcg = 4 units, and 50 mcg = 5 units (100 mcg = 10 units). Keep total water at or below 3 mL and refrigerate the reconstituted vial. Note: IGF-1 LR3 is essentially always a 1 mg vial; a listing like '10 mg (1 mg)' means a 10-vial box of 1 mg vials, not a single 10 mg vial.

Common dosing schedule

One subcutaneous injection per day, typically 7 days a week during a short on-block.

Do I need a prescription?

Not approved for human use; sold only as a research chemical ('for research use only, not for human consumption'). Related rhIGF-1 (mecasermin) is prescription-only for rare IGF-1 deficiency, and IGF-1 LR3 is banned by WADA.

Inflammation and GI changes may appear in the first 1-2 weeks; skin and tissue changes build over 4-12 weeks.

How do I reconstitute it?

Worked example for the 5 mg vial: add 1 mL of bacteriostatic water to the 5 mg vial. This gives 5 mg/mL (5000 mcg/mL). On a U-100 insulin syringe, 1 mL = 100 units, so each unit = 50 mcg. Therefore 250 mcg = 5 units, 500 mcg = 10 units, and a 200 mcg starter dose = 4 units. Keep total water at or below 3 mL (1 mL is comfortably within that). Refrigerate the reconstituted solution and use within about 4 weeks.

Common dosing schedule

Once daily (often morning); some split AM/PM for oral gut use. Commonly run continuously or 5-days-on/2-off in 4-8 week blocks.

Growth-hormone-releasing peptides often improve sleep and recovery within the first 1-2 weeks; visible body-composition changes take 8-12+ weeks.

How do I reconstitute it?

Worked example for the 10 mg vial: add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to the 10 mg powder to get 5 mg/mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe, 100 units = 1 mL, so each unit holds 0.01 mL = 0.05 mg. That makes a 5 mg dose equal to 100 units (a full syringe); 2.5 mg = 50 units and 1 mg = 20 units. Because a single 5 mg dose fills the whole syringe, some use less water (1 mL gives 10 mg/mL so 5 mg = 50 units) or split the weekly total into smaller doses. Keep total water at or below 3 mL.

Common dosing schedule

Split the weekly 5-10 mg into 2-3 subcutaneous injections across the week.

Worked example: adding 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg vial gives a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 mcg/mL), so a 250 mcg dose = 0.10 mL = 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Scale the water volume to whatever makes your target dose land on an easy-to-read mark.

Common dosing schedule

Standard clinical dose: 5 mg given intramuscularly once daily for 10 days in a row, with the course repeated every 3-6 months for chronic conditions.

Do I need a prescription?

Not FDA-approved in the United States. It is an approved/prescription medicine in Russia and nearby countries, but in the US it is sold only as a research chemical labelled 'not for human consumption,' with no legal route to a prescription.

How long until I see results?

Some users report reduced pain or faster healing within a few days to 2 weeks; tendon, ligament, and connective-tissue remodelling realistically takes 4-8+ weeks.

How do I reconstitute it?

Sold either as a ready-to-use nasal spray or as a powder to be reconstituted. If it is a powder, dissolve it in the supplied sterile saline or bacteriostatic water inside a metered nasal atomiser; the mcg delivered per spray depends on the concentration you mix. Keep refrigerated and discard if it becomes cloudy.

Common dosing schedule

Intranasal use is most common at 150-900 mcg per session, one to three times daily, capped at 2.7 mg per day under Russian clinical protocols.

Some report sharper focus or mood within hours to a few days; cumulative cognitive effects are described over 1-4 weeks.

How do I reconstitute it?

Supplied as a freeze-dried (lyophilised) powder that must be reconstituted before use. Draw bacteriostatic water into an insulin syringe and inject it slowly down the inside wall of the vial (do not squirt directly onto the powder). Swirl gently — never shake — until fully dissolved, then store refrigerated. Worked example: adding 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg vial gives a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 mcg/mL), so a 250 mcg dose = 0.10 mL = 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Scale the water volume to whatever makes your target dose land on an easy-to-read mark.

Common dosing schedule

Typical range: 200-500 mcg injected subcutaneously at bedtime.

Do I need a prescription?

In the US it is not sold as a standard FDA-approved drug, but it has been available by prescription through compounding pharmacies and telehealth clinics. The versions sold on research-chemical sites are unapproved and labelled 'not for human consumption.' (Note: FDA guidance on which peptides compounding pharmacies may prepare has tightened — availability changes over time.)

How long until I see results?

Growth-hormone-releasing peptides often improve sleep and recovery within the first 1-2 weeks; visible body-composition changes take 8-12+ weeks.

How do I reconstitute it?

Sold as a freeze-dried powder and reconstituted with bacteriostatic water for subcutaneous injection. For example, 5 mg of powder plus 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5 mg/mL, so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds about 25 mcg. Because this is a research-tier compound with no validated human dose, treat any figure as experimental.

Common dosing schedule

Anecdotally once daily (some split into two), often before activity; no validated schedule exists

Do I need a prescription?

Not FDA approved and not a prescription drug; preclinical research compound sold for research use only

Some users report reduced pain or faster healing within a few days to 2 weeks; tendon, ligament, and connective-tissue remodelling realistically takes 4-8+ weeks.

How do I reconstitute it?

Worked example for the 10 mg vial (3 mL glass vial): add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to the 10 mg lyophilized powder, giving 5 mg/mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe each unit (0.01 mL) holds 0.05 mg, so 1 mg = 20 units and 2 mg = 40 units. The standard clinical dose of 2 mg/day = 40 units; the vial then lasts 5 days. Keep total water at or below 3 mL; roll gently to dissolve, do not shake, and refrigerate after mixing.

Common dosing schedule

One subcutaneous injection every day, continued for months and reassessed periodically.

Do I need a prescription?

Prescription-only in the US: FDA-approved as Egrifta, Egrifta SV, and Egrifta WR for HIV-associated lipodystrophy. Peptide-vendor 'research' vials are not FDA-approved and are labeled not for human consumption.

Scale the water volume to whatever makes your target dose land on an easy-to-read mark.

Common dosing schedule

The standard protocol is 10 mg by intramuscular injection, generally run in cycles rather than as a continuous daily dose.

Not FDA-approved in the United States. It is an approved/prescription medicine in Russia, but in the US it is sold only as a research chemical labelled 'not for human consumption,' with no legal route to a prescription.

How long until I see results?

No felt acute effect — peptide 'bioregulators' are used in short cycles for proposed long-term/organ-support benefits, not immediate results.

How do I reconstitute it?

Worked example for the 10 mg vial (3 mL glass, lyophilized): add 2 mL bacteriostatic water to get 5 mg/mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe, 100 units = 1 mL, so each unit = 0.01 mL = 0.05 mg. The 1.6 mg Zadaxin clinical dose = 32 units (0.32 mL). One vial provides about 6 doses at 1.6 mg. Keep total water at or under 3 mL; 2 mL keeps the math simple and the injection volume small. Refrigerate the reconstituted vial and use within ~28 days.

Common dosing schedule

1.6 mg subcutaneously twice weekly, spaced 3-4 days apart (e.g., Mon/Thu).

Do I need a prescription?

Prescription medicine where licensed (as Zadaxin / thymalfasin in ~30 countries). Not FDA-approved in the US, where it is sold only as a research chemical labeled 'not for human consumption.'

Subtle immune effects build over about 3-6 weeks; approved hepatitis courses run 6-12 months.

How do I reconstitute it?

Reconstitute the 10 mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water for a concentration of 5 mg/mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe each unit equals 0.01 mL, so each unit delivers 0.05 mg. That makes 2.5 mg = 50 units and 5 mg = 100 units (a full syringe). Doses above 5 mg exceed a single 100-unit draw, and doses above 10 mg exceed one vial entirely, so higher titration steps require more than one vial. To keep low doses easy to read, some reconstitute with less water (1 mL yields 10 mg/mL, halving every unit count). Keep total added water at or below 3 mL.

Common dosing schedule

Start 2.5 mg once weekly for 4 weeks, then step up in 2.5 mg increments every 4 weeks as tolerated, to a maximum of 15 mg weekly.

Do I need a prescription?

Prescription-only in the US. FDA-approved as Mounjaro (type 2 diabetes, 2022) and Zepbound (chronic weight management 2023; obstructive sleep apnea 2024). Compounded and 'research chemical' versions are not FDA-approved and are sold labeled 'not for human consumption.'

No legal prescription exists. It is an unapproved research chemical, sold only for laboratory research and labelled 'not for human consumption.' It is not FDA-approved for any human use.

How long until I see results?

No established human timeframe — use is experimental and effects are not well characterised.

How do I reconstitute it?

No reconstitution needed - this is a ready-to-use 30 mg/mL solution, not a lyophilized powder. To dose, draw directly from the vial: 1000 mcg = 1 mg = about 0.033 mL in an insulin syringe. No bacteriostatic water or mixing is involved. A higher 2500 mcg draw is about 0.083 mL and 5000 mcg about 0.167 mL.

Common dosing schedule

Weekly during initial correction, then spaced to every 2-4 weeks for maintenance; more frequent when correcting an established deficiency.
