- To make this clearer, we've put together a simple table comparing these common protocol frameworks. This is a high-level overview to help guide your research design.
- Standard Protocol
- 2x per day (BID)
- 500 – 1000 mcg (total)
- General tendon, ligament, muscle repair; systemic inflammation.
- The most balanced and widely used approach. Excellent for most studies.
- Acute Protocol
- 3x per day (TID)
- 750 – 1000+ mcg (total)
- Severe, acute injuries; post-surgical recovery (initial phase).
- More demanding; typically used for a short duration (1-2 weeks) before tapering.
- Systemic Protocol
- 1x per day
- 250 – 500 mcg
- Gut health studies, low-grade systemic issues, maintenance.
- Likely suboptimal for localized, acute repair due to the short half-life.
