Standard Dosage Range

Research dosing range: 3 mg/kg (dogs, veterinary); 10–60 mg daily (human research)

Educational reference only

These dosage ranges are derived from preclinical research and community protocols. No human clinical dose-ranging trials have established therapeutic doses for most research peptides. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any peptide protocol.

Dosage by Use Case

Appetite Stimulation (Dogs)

3 mg/kg1× daily
Duration

Variable, as needed

Approved veterinary use (Entyce). Administer orally. Monitor food intake and adjust dose as needed under veterinary supervision.

Appetite Stimulation (Human, Off-label)

10–30 mg1× daily
Duration

4–12 weeks

Off-label use only. Based on limited human trial data. Start at the lower end of the range and titrate up as tolerated. Monitor for side effects.

Growth Hormone Release (Human Research)

30–60 mg1× daily
Duration

4–12 weeks

Research purposes only. Higher end of the dosage range. Monitor for hyperglycemia and other potential GH-related side effects.

Timing & Frequency

Administer orally, typically once daily. For appetite stimulation, dosing 30-60 minutes prior to a meal may be beneficial. Absorption may be influenced by food intake; administer on an empty stomach for more consistent results.

Cycle Guidance

Due to limited long-term human safety data, cycling is advisable. A common approach is a 4-12 week cycle followed by a 4-week break. Monitor for any adverse effects and adjust cycle length accordingly.
