How to dose. (What the trials used.)

We are not a clinic, not a doctor, not a vendor. What we can do is show you what the published trials used and what the off-label community has settled on. The decision and the responsibility are yours.

Trial dose = the dose the published study actually used. Real number from a real paper. Community dose = what off-label users have settled on, usually published only on Reddit and Discord. Often based on extrapolation from animal data. We label both clearly on every peptide page.

Look for the methods section. Find the dose unit (mg, mcg, IU). Look for a body-weight component (mg/kg). Look for the dosing schedule (daily, weekly, every other day). Look for the route (subq, IM, oral, topical). Trial doses are written this way: "60 mcg/kg subcutaneous, single dose." That's what you cite.

1 mg = 1,000 mcg. A 5 mg BPC-157 vial holds 5,000 mcg. A typical "250 mcg" community dose is 1/20th of the vial. People who confuse mg and mcg overdose by 1000×. Don't be one of them.

Some trial protocols are weight-based (e.g., 60 mcg/kg). At 70 kg body weight, that's 60 × 70 = 4,200 mcg = 4.2 mg per dose. Most off-label community protocols are NOT weight-based. They use a flat number, which is one reason they don't quite track to the trial data.
