- 5mg/week
- 5 days/week
- 1mg per injection
- 2mL bacteriostatic water = 5mg/mL; draw 0.2mL per dose
- Exercise performance, endurance studies
- Lowest effective range. Suitable for long-duration studies where sustainability matters more than rapid metabolic shift
- 10mg/week
- 7 days/week (daily)
- 1.4mg per injection
- 2mL bacteriostatic water = 5mg/mL; draw 0.28mL per dose
- Metabolic function, insulin sensitivity studies
- Mid-range dosing. Balances frequency and per-injection volume for consistent AMPK activation without injection site saturation
- 15mg/week
- 3 days/week (Mon/Wed/Fri)
- 5mg per injection
- 3mL bacteriostatic water = 3.33mg/mL; draw 1.5mL per dose
- Acute metabolic intervention, high-intensity protocols
- Upper range. Higher per-injection doses risk localised irritation but reduce total injection count across multi-week studies
- 7mg/week
- Every other day (3.5 doses/week)
- 2mg per injection
- 2mL bacteriostatic water = 5mg/mL; draw 0.4mL per dose
- Longevity research, caloric restriction mimetic studies
- Conservative dosing. Mimics fasting-induced mitochondrial signalling without pharmacological overload
