Dosing Reference from Studies

24 peptides with doses from published studies: 3 of these have an established human dose, the remaining 21 have no established human protocol.

These are the doses used in PUBLISHED STUDIES, compiled as a neutral research reference. Most of these compounds are experimental and have NO established or approved human dosing protocol; for many, all quantified doses come exclusively from animal studies (mg/kg). This is reference information, not a dosing recommendation and not medical advice.

We publish the doses used in studies, which are mostly animal research doses per kilogram of body weight. This is deliberately not the same as the fixed milligram amounts that circulate in online communities. We do not publish self-administration protocols.

Mixed (human and animal)Preclinical animal dose (per body weight)
No established human protocol

Dose in studies

0.25 mg per knee (rabbit, intra-articular) -> 0.5 mg/kg/day (rat, oral)

mixed (mg/kg/day animal systemic + absolute mg per joint; two studies unquantified)

Discussed in research communities* 300-500 mcg/day (SC)

BPC-157
Animal studyPreclinical animal dose (per body weight)
No established human protocol

Dose in studies

10 pg/kg per dose (rat) -> 2 mg/kg (dog, safety/tox study)

per-kg body weight (animal); efficacy in ug/kg, ng/kg, pg/kg; safety up to mg/kg

Discussed in research communities* 250-500 mcg/day (SC)

Routes of administration

intraperitoneal (IP)intramuscular (IM)intragastricoral (drinking water)topical (cream)local (at anastomosis)

Reference only, not a recommendation: every numeric dose in the listed studies is animal (almost all rat) and spans many orders of magnitude (10 pg/kg to 2 mg/kg across efficacy and safety models); there is no established or approved human dosing protocol.

CJC-1295
Mixed (human and animal)Human trial dose
No established human protocol

Dose in studies

30 mcg/kg (CJC-1295 with DAC) -> 90 mcg/kg (CJC-1295 with DAC)

mixed: mcg/kg (human, DAC form only), flat mcg/animal (mouse, DAC form only)

Discussed in research communities* 100-200 mcg/day (no-DAC, the form we sell) or 1-2 mg/week (DAC, which we do not sell), SC

Routes of administration

SC

Reference only: the human figures (30 to 90 mcg/kg SC) are for CJC-1295 WITH DAC, the long-acting, albumin-conjugated form we do not sell. Our no-DAC product (Mod GRF 1-29, the short-acting form we sell) has no dedicated controlled human trial; its pharmacology is inferred from the sermorelin class. Applying the DAC trial's dose to a no-DAC vial would describe a molecule with a 5.8 to 8.1-day half-life for a product that clears in about 30 minutes. The mouse figure (flat 2 mcg per animal) is also from the DAC form. CJC-1295 has no approved or established human therapeutic dose.

All doses are preclinical (in vitro molar, ex vivo human skin, rodent topical/IP) and span orders of magnitude across incompatible bases; the only per-kg figures (0.2-20 mg/kg/day IP) are from one mouse emphysema study, two wound studies gave no quantified dose, and there is no established human dosing protocol (first human RCT only recruiting).

Dose in studies

1.6 ug/kg (swine ED50, ~0.0016 mg/kg, IV) -> 1.6 mg/kg/day (rat, IV)

Dose in studies

16 ug/kg/day (oral, nanoparticle) -> 2.5 mg/kg (oral, proKPV conjugate)

mg/kg (animal)

Discussed in research communities* 250-500 mcg/day (SC)

Routes of administration

oral (drinking water)oral (gavage)intraperitoneal (IP)in vitro (cell culture)

All doses are preclinical (mouse and cell culture) with no established human protocol, and the two clean oral per-kg doses (16 ug/kg to 2.5 mg/kg) both rely on engineered delivery vehicles since free KPV showed little oral benefit on its own.

Routes of administration

intravenousoral

There is no established per-kg human dosing protocol for injected NAD+: the entry states clinic drip doses (250 to 1000 mg) are empirical not validated, no human study reported individual body weights so no per-kg figure exists, and human efficacy data are absent (rat only) while the stronger human evidence is for oral precursors NMN/NR, not intact injected NAD+.
