Tools/Dosage chart

What’s the dose,
and who says so?

The dose people most often cite for every compound on the site, and for each one, where that number came from.

Most of them were never tested.

Amyloid Beta
beta-amyloid

No treatment dose. Amyloid beta is a laboratory reagent, not a therapeutic peptide. Historical Alzheimer's vaccine trials injected 50–225 mcg of aggregated Aβ42 with an immune adjuvant, but the program was stopped after cases of brain inflammation. Those trial doses are not a personal-use protocol.

Darobactin A
darobactin

No human dose exists, because no person has ever received darobactin. There is no label, no route, no frequency, no supplied strength and nothing marketed. The only dose figures in existence are animal ones, all given by injection: in mice, 50 mg/kg into the abdomen as a single dose, or 25 mg/kg into the abdomen every 6 hours for three doses, or 25 mg/kg at 2, 8 and 14 hours in the thigh infection model; in zebrafish embryos, 10 mg/kg into the caudal vein. The engineered successor D22 has been given to mice at 2.5 to 75 mg/kg by vein, under the skin or into the abdomen, and at 20 mg/kg by mouth, where only 0.62% was absorbed. None of these are human doses and none can be scaled into one, so the calculator has nothing to draw.

No human dose exists. Every chronic animal result came from a surgically implanted osmotic pump infusing 1.5 to 3 mg per kg per day under the skin for weeks to months; that is an infusion rate, not a bolus, and there is no published basis for scaling it to a person. The lab reports no oral bioavailability. No vendor or forum protocol was found, and that absence is the most useful thing to know about dosing this compound.

No established dose, but the rates used in people are on record and they are tiny.

The earlier 22-person study used higher rates over four hours, 10, 17.5 and 25 nanograms per kilogram per minute. These are infusion rates for a monitored setting with a pump, not doses anyone can draw up in a syringe, and any figure offered as a self-administered cenderitide dose would be invented.

No human dose has been disclosed. The registry lists four ascending single doses and four ascending repeat doses without naming any of them, and the comparator cohort receives tirzepatide at its approved weekly dosing. Any figure offered as an ASC35 dose would be invented.

No human doses have been disclosed for any of the three phase 1 trials. The injection is designed for once monthly to once quarterly at 1 mL or less through a fine needle; the tablet for once daily. Monkeys received 10 or 25 mg tablets daily for a week, and rats 5 or 10 nmol/kg by injection every two days; neither translates to a human dose. Any dose offered for it would be invented.

No human dose
Monthly injection or daily tablet (intended)

ASC37

No human dose exists and none has been proposed. The mouse studies used 1, 10 and 30 nanomoles per kilogram injected once daily for 11 days, a laboratory comparison and not a human dose. The tablet is intended to be weekly and the injection monthly, but neither schedule has been tested in a person. Any figure quoted as an ASC37 dose would be invented.

MENTSH
MDP Encoded in the ND-Two Subunit of Humans

No human dose exists. The mouse work used twice-daily injections into the abdomen over 10 days, a single high dose in one arm, and implanted pumps delivering it continuously under the skin for two weeks in the longer studies; the paper's own pharmacokinetics put the half-life at 10.4 minutes, and that is why the injected schedules were so frequent. Nothing in that translates to a human dose, and any figure offered for one would be invented.

What the numbers say

412 compounds, one number each

197
From a label or a study

Someone actually measured this in a person.

159
Community convention

Repeated widely. Traced to no study.

1
Sold as a fixed course

A course printed on the box, not a dose.

40
Never dosed in a person

No human dose exists to cite.

A community dose is not necessarily wrong. It means that when we went looking for the study behind the number, there wasn’t one. Where the only figures online looked invented or were carried over from a different compound, we left them out and said why on that compound’s page. Skincare peptides and course products are counted separately, because a concentration in a finished serum and a course printed on a box are both different things from a dose. Read the guide explaining the source types. For GLP-1 medicines, why label doses and community doses differ matters too.

Worth knowing

A label dose is for the approved product

FDA-label figures describe the approved drug at the strength and route it was approved for. A research vial sold under the same name was never tested against that label.

Numbers that repeat are usually copied

Many vendor pages print identical round numbers for unrelated compounds. That pattern usually means a figure was copied rather than measured. Seeing a number everywhere is not evidence for it.

A blend has one dose

A blend's dose is written against one component, and the others follow at whatever ratio is in the vial. See what each blend delivers

Common questions

Does this chart tell me what dose to take?

No. It shows the dose people most often cite and where that number came from. For most compounds on this page nobody has tested a dose, and we say so rather than repeat a number.

Why do some compounds show no dose at all?

Because we could not trace one to a person. Some were only ever studied in cells or animals. For others, the figures online were invented or borrowed from a different compound, so we left them out and explain why on the compound's page.

Why do skincare peptides show a percentage instead of a dose?

They are applied in a finished product at a concentration the manufacturer sets. There is no injected dose to report, so the chart shows the concentration products use.

How do I turn a dose into a syringe reading?

Use the calculator. Enter your vial size, the water you added and your dose, and it gives the draw in units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

This page describes what people cite. It does not tell you what to do.
