Peptide Dosage Chart

A reference table of the doses that have been reported for 208 peptides, with route, frequency and half-life, and an evidence tier on every row: an FDA label, a clinical trial, a published study, or an unverified community figure.

129 rows show a figure. 42 come from FDA-approved prescribing information, 33 from registered clinical trials, each cited on the compound’s profile. The other 54 are community figures from public dosage charts; for 46 of them our own review of the literature found no established human dose, and the row says so.

A label dose applies to one approved product, its indication and a prescriber. A trial dose is what participants were given under monitoring. Neither makes an amount appropriate for a person, and a community figure is not evidence at all.

Research reference only. This is not medical advice, and no figure on this page is a dosing recommendation.

How to read this chart

Every figure below is a dose reported for a compound, not a dose for anyone to take. Research-reported is not the same as safe, effective or appropriate, and a range being printed here says nothing about whether the compound should be used at all. Each row carries one of five evidence tiers, strongest first:

FDA label(42)
The compound is an FDA-approved medicine and the figure is the labelled range from its prescribing information, cited on the profile. It applies to that product, for its approved indication, under a prescriber.
Clinical trial(33)
No approved label: the figure is the range given to participants in a registered clinical trial, cited on the profile. A studied amount is not an approved or appropriate one.
Community figure(54)
A commonly circulated community figure from the dosage references below, not from primary literature. For 46 of these compounds our own review found no established human dose, and the cell says so first. These figures are unverified: treat them as what is reported elsewhere.
Not reported(79)
Neither our review nor the reference charts report a dose. The cell stays empty rather than being filled with a figure borrowed from animal work or a vendor page.

Work out a concentration

The chart reports doses. To convert a vial and a volume of bacteriostatic water into a concentration and a syringe measurement, use the peptide reconstitution calculator. It does arithmetic only and does not suggest a dose. For general unit and concentration conversions there is also Best Peptide Calculator, our standalone arithmetic tool.

Half-life and trial context

The half-life column is the reported elimination half-life, which depends on the molecule, the route and the formulation; the half-life explainer covers why sources disagree. For an investigational compound, a trial dose only makes sense next to its trial: see the retatrutide clinical trials for populations, comparators and reported outcomes, and GLP-1 medication labels for the approved products.

Combinations rather than single compounds

This chart covers one compound per row. Combinations and blends — what each is proposed to do, how strong the evidence for the pairing is, and what is not established — are catalogued in the peptide stacks directory.
