Peptide Dosage Chart

Reported dose, route, frequency and half-life for 208 compounds, each cell labelled with where the figure came from. 129 have a dose listed: 75 taken from a label, a registered trial or a published study, and 54 compiled from the public peptide dosage references linked below.

The two tiers are not equivalent. A reference-chart figure is what circulates in the peptide community, and for several compounds — BPC-157 among them — no published human study reports it. Where a compound has been reviewed, the profile says what the evidence actually shows.

Research reference only. This is not medical advice, and no figure on this page is a dosing recommendation.

How to read this chart

Every figure below is a dose reported for a compound, not a dose recommended for anyone. Research-reported is not the same as safe, effective or appropriate, and a range being printed here says nothing about whether the compound should be used at all.

Library review(75)
The dose was taken from an approved product label, a registered trial or a published study, and the source is cited on the compound’s profile. These are the doses to trust first.
Reference charts(54)
The dose is what the public peptide dosage references below report — commonly circulated community figures rather than primary literature. Several have no published human study behind them, and where our own review has looked, some conflict with what the trials actually used. Treat them as what is reported elsewhere, and check the profile for the evidence.
No dose listed
Neither our review nor the reference charts report a dose for this compound. The cell stays empty rather than being filled with a figure borrowed from animal work or a vendor page.

Work out a concentration

The chart reports doses. To convert a vial and a volume of bacteriostatic water into a concentration and a syringe measurement, use the peptide reconstitution calculator. It does arithmetic only and does not suggest a dose.

Combinations rather than single compounds

This chart covers one compound per row. Combinations and blends — what each is proposed to do, how strong the evidence for the pairing is, and what is not established — are catalogued in the peptide stacks directory.
