Women's Dosing Guide
Dosing in the peptide world is confusing — amounts vary by source, and most protocols are written for men. The guide below reflects female-specific research dosing, with notes on timing, cycle length, and what to expect.
Reconstitute with
2mL Bac Water
Concentration
50,000 mcg/mL
U-100 syringe units
2–4 units
Injection route
Subcutaneous
Cycle / course
4–8 weeks on, 2–4 weeks off
Notes for women
Women often respond at the lower 1mg dose. Inject in the abdomen or thigh. Best used in the morning. GHK-Cu may cause mild skin flushing at the injection site — this is normal.
Reconstitute with
2mL Bac Water
Concentration
50,000 mcg/mL
U-100 syringe units
1–2 units
Injection route
Subcutaneous
Cycle / course
5-day loading phase, then ongoing maintenance
Notes for women
Inject slowly — too fast can cause a brief flushing or warmth sensation. Start at 500mcg to assess tolerance. Evening dosing may suit some women better as energy effects can be stimulating.
Reconstitute with
2mL Bac Water
Concentration
5,000 mcg/mL
U-100 syringe units
2–10 units
Injection route
Subcutaneous
Cycle / course
10–20 day course, 1–2× per year
Notes for women
Epithalon is used as a course, not ongoing daily. Most protocols: 100mcg/day × 10 days or 500mcg/day × 20 days. Repeat every 6 months. Timing in the evening is preferred by many researchers.
Reconstitute with
1mL Bac Water
Concentration
10,000 mcg/mL
U-100 syringe units
50–100 units
Injection route
Subcutaneous or intramuscular
Cycle / course
8–12 weeks on, 4 weeks off
Notes for women
Women typically start at 5mg (50 units on a U-100 syringe) and assess before escalating. Inject in the morning before exercise for best mitochondrial activation effects. Can cause mild fatigue initially as metabolism adapts.
Reconstitute with
2mL Bac Water
Concentration
5,000 mcg/mL
U-100 syringe units
20 units (1mg) → 40–80 units
Injection route
Subcutaneous (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm)
Cycle / course
Ongoing weekly; reassess every 12 weeks
Notes for women
Always start at 1mg and titrate slowly — every 2–4 weeks. Women are generally more sensitive to GLP-1 agonists. Common side effects at initiation: nausea, reduced appetite. Inject same day each week.
Reconstitute with
2mL Bac Water
Concentration
5,000 mcg/mL
U-100 syringe units
20–40 units
Injection route
Subcutaneous (abdomen preferred)
Cycle / course
12–16 weeks, then 4–8 week break
Notes for women
Inject in the evening before bed to align with the natural GH pulse. Women typically use 1mg/day. Higher doses (2mg) are used in research for visceral fat reduction. Do not inject if GH-sensitive conditions are present.
Reconstitute with
1mL Bac Water
Concentration
5,000 mcg/mL
U-100 syringe units
5–10 units
Injection route
Subcutaneous (abdomen)
Cycle / course
12 weeks on, 4 weeks off
Notes for women
For best results, inject in the morning in a fasted state — avoid food for 30 minutes before and after. AOD-9604 does not affect blood glucose or IGF-1, making it suitable for longer research protocols. Women at 300mcg/day is a common starting point.
Reconstitute with
2mL Bac Water
Concentration
5,000 mcg/mL
U-100 syringe units
10–35 units
Injection route
Subcutaneous (abdomen or thigh)
Cycle / course
As needed; max 2–3× per week
Notes for women
Women are significantly more sensitive to PT-141 than men — always start at 500mcg (10 units). Allow 45–60 minutes for onset. Nausea is the most common side effect at higher doses; staying well-hydrated reduces this. Do not exceed 1.75mg per dose.
Reconstitute with
2mL Bac Water
Concentration
5,000 mcg/mL
U-100 syringe units
2–4 units
Injection route
Subcutaneous
Cycle / course
4–8 weeks on, 2 weeks off
Notes for women
Kisspeptin is a key regulator of LH and FSH release — particularly relevant for women in perimenopause experiencing hormonal decline. Pulse dosing (once daily in the evening) aligns with natural GnRH pulsatility. Part of the Peri-Menopause Stack.
Reconstitute with
2mL Bac Water
Concentration
5,000 mcg/mL
U-100 syringe units
2 units
Injection route
Subcutaneous
Cycle / course
As needed; ongoing daily use is well-tolerated
Notes for women
Onset is rapid — typically 15–30 minutes. For relational or intimacy contexts, timing 30 minutes before is common. Daily low-dose use has been studied for stress reduction, social bonding, and mood. Women generally respond at 100mcg; avoid exceeding 200mcg per dose.
Reconstitute with
2mL Bac Water
Concentration
5,000 mcg/mL
U-100 syringe units
5–10 units
Injection route
Subcutaneous (near injury site if possible)
Cycle / course
4–6 weeks on, 2 weeks off
Notes for women
For targeted healing, inject as close to the site of injury or discomfort as comfortable. For systemic use, abdominal injection is fine. Split dosing (morning + evening) may enhance tissue repair effects. Can be combined with TB-500.
Reconstitute with
2mL Bac Water
Concentration
5,000 mcg/mL
U-100 syringe units
50–100 units
Injection route
Subcutaneous or intramuscular
Cycle / course
4–6 week loading phase, then monthly maintenance dose
Notes for women
Load at 2.5mg 2× per week for 4–6 weeks, then reduce to 2.5mg once per week or once per month as maintenance. Often stacked with BPC-157 for synergistic recovery. Women may find 2.5mg/dose is sufficient for the full protocol.

How to Reconstitute Peptides
01
Gather materials
Sterile bacteriostatic water, insulin syringe, alcohol wipes, and your lyophilised peptide vial.
02
Clean both tops
Wipe the rubber stopper on both the peptide vial and Bac Water vial with an alcohol swab. Allow to dry.
03
Draw Bac Water
Use the calculator above to determine your reconstitution volume. Draw that amount into your syringe.
04
Inject slowly
Insert the needle into the peptide vial and let the water run down the inside of the glass. Do not spray directly onto the powder.
05
Swirl gently
Roll the vial gently between your palms until the powder fully dissolves. Never shake.
06
Store correctly
Refrigerate at 2–8°C. Use within 30 days of reconstitution. Protect from light at all times.
