This reference chart provides commonly cited dose ranges, administration frequencies, routes, and half-lives for popular peptides. Doses are organized by conservative (starting), standard, and upper ranges based on available research literature and clinical protocols.
Important: These are reference ranges, not prescriptions. Individual dosing should be determined by a healthcare provider based on your specific situation, health status, and goals. Use the Dosage Calculator to calculate weight-adjusted doses for your body weight.
Healing and Recovery Peptides
| Peptide | Conservative Dose | Standard Dose | Upper Dose | Frequency | Route | Half-Life |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | 200 mcg | 250–500 mcg | 500–750 mcg | 1–2x daily | SubQ | ~4 hours |
| TB-500 | 750 mcg | 2–2.5 mg | 4–5 mg | 2x/week | SubQ | ~6 hours |
| GHK-Cu | 200 mcg | 500 mcg | 1 mg | 1x daily | SubQ | ~30 min |
Notes on Healing Peptides
- BPC-157 is commonly injected near the injury site for localized effect, though systemic effects occur regardless
- TB-500 is administered systemically — injection site does not need to be near the injury
- GHK-Cu is also available topically for skin applications; SubQ dosing is for systemic use
- Loading phases (higher initial doses for 2–4 weeks) are common with TB-500
Growth Hormone Secretagogues
| Peptide | Conservative Dose | Standard Dose | Upper Dose | Frequency | Route | Half-Life |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ipamorelin | 100 mcg | 200 mcg | 300 mcg | 2–3x daily | SubQ | ~2 hours |
| CJC-1295 (no DAC) | 100 mcg | 100–200 mcg | 200 mcg | 2–3x daily | SubQ | ~30 min |
| CJC-1295 (with DAC) | 1 mg | 2 mg | 2 mg | 1x/week | SubQ | ~7 days |
| Sermorelin | 100 mcg | 200–300 mcg | 500 mcg | 1x daily (bedtime) | SubQ | ~10–20 min |
| GHRP-2 | 100 mcg | 200 mcg | 300 mcg | 2–3x daily | SubQ | ~1 hour |
| GHRP-6 | 100 mcg | 200 mcg | 300 mcg | 2–3x daily | SubQ | ~2 hours |
Notes on GH Secretagogues
- Administer on an empty stomach — food blunts GH release
- Ipamorelin + CJC-1295 (no DAC) is the most common stack
- Bedtime dosing is generally the most important window
- Use the Half-Life Visualizer to model blood concentration curves
GLP-1 and Metabolic Peptides
| Peptide | Starting Dose | Maintenance | Maximum | Frequency | Route | Half-Life |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide | 0.25 mg | 1.0 mg | 2.4 mg | 1x/week | SubQ | ~7 days |
| Tirzepatide | 2.5 mg | 5–10 mg | 15 mg | 1x/week | SubQ | ~5 days |
| Retatrutide | 1 mg | 4–8 mg | 12 mg | 1x/week | SubQ | ~6 days |
| AOD-9604 | 100 mcg | 250–300 mcg | 500 mcg | 1x daily | SubQ | ~1 hour |
Notes on GLP-1 Peptides
- All GLP-1 agonists require slow titration — increase every 4 weeks minimum
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescription medications
- GI side effects (nausea, constipation) are dose-dependent and typically improve over time
Anti-Aging and Other Peptides
| Peptide | Conservative Dose | Standard Dose | Upper Dose | Frequency | Route | Half-Life |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Epithalon | 5 mg | 10 mg | 10 mg | 1x daily (10-day cycles) | SubQ/IM | ~2 hours |
| DSIP | 50 mcg | 100 mcg | 200 mcg | Before bed | SubQ | ~15 min |
| Selank | 250 mcg | 500 mcg | 750 mcg | 1–2x daily | Intranasal/SubQ | ~3 min |
| PT-141 | 0.5 mg | 1.75 mg | 2 mg | As needed (max 1x/day) | SubQ | ~2 hours |
Weight-Based Dose Ranges
For peptides typically dosed by body weight:
| Peptide | Low | Standard | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | 3 mcg/kg | 5 mcg/kg | 10 mcg/kg |
| Ipamorelin | 1 mcg/kg | 2 mcg/kg | 3 mcg/kg |
| CJC-1295 (no DAC) | 1 mcg/kg | 1.5 mcg/kg | 2 mcg/kg |
Use the Dosage Calculator to calculate your exact dose based on these mcg/kg ranges.
How to Read the Chart
- Conservative dose: Starting dose for new users or sensitive individuals
- Standard dose: Most commonly cited effective dose in research
- Upper dose: Higher end of studied ranges — not necessarily better
- Frequency: How often each dose is administered
- Route: SubQ = subcutaneous, IM = intramuscular
- Half-life: Time for blood concentration to drop by 50%

This dosage chart is for informational and educational reference purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Dosing should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on your individual health profile. Many of the peptides listed are research compounds not approved by the FDA for human use. Prescription peptides (semaglutide, tirzepatide) should only be used under medical supervision.
