Dosage Comparison: Daily Precision vs Weekly Convenience

The dosing protocols for these two versions look nothing alike. Confusing them is one of the most common mistakes in the GH peptide space. Standard dose Frequency Weekly total 2-4 mg 1,400-3,150 mcg (1.4-3.15 mg) Timing Any time, same day each week Empty stoma

  • The dosing protocols for these two versions look nothing alike. Confusing them is one of the most common mistakes in the GH peptide space.
  • Standard dose
  • Frequency
  • Weekly total
  • 2-4 mg
  • 1,400-3,150 mcg (1.4-3.15 mg)
  • Timing
  • Any time, same day each week
  • Empty stomach, 1 hr after eating
  • Best timing
  • Evening for sleep benefit
  • Morning fasted, post-workout, pre-bed
  • Cycle length
  • 8-12 weeks on, 4 weeks off
  • 8-16 weeks on, 4-6 weeks off
  • Stacking dose
  • Same (2 mg)
  • 100-150 mcg per injection with GHRP
  • Reconstitution
  • 2 mL bac water per 2 mg vial
  • 2-5 mL bac water per 2-5 mg vial
  • No-DAC protocol (standard): Inject 100 mcg Mod GRF 1-29 combined with 200-300 mcg ipamorelin in the same syringe, 2-3 times daily. The pre-bed dose is the most important. Inject on an empty stomach: food (especially carbohydrates) raises insulin and blunts GH release. Wait 20-30 minutes after injection before eating.
  • DAC protocol (standard): Inject 2 mg subcutaneously once per week. Some users split to 1 mg twice weekly for slightly more even GH elevation. Timing relative to meals matters less because the albumin-bound peptide releases its signal continuously. However, some practitioners still recommend evening dosing.
