MGF (5 mg Vial) Dosage Protocol

MGF Dosage Chart

MGF is dosed at 100 mcg–300 mcg daily via subcutaneous injection in educational protocols. A 5 mg vial reconstituted with bacteriostatic water yields about 1.67 mg/mL. This information is for research and educational use only.

Reconstitute: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → ~1.67 mg/mL concentration.

Typical daily range: 100–300 mcg once daily (gradual titration).

Easy measuring: At 1.67 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL ≈ 16.7 mcg on a U‑100 insulin syringe.

Storage: Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); use within ~30 days.

Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is a splice variant of IGF‑1 (IGF‑1Ec in humans) produced in response to mechanical stress and tissue damage[1][2]. Research indicates MGF plays a role in muscle repair, satellite cell activation, and bone regeneration[3][4]. This educational protocol presents a once‑daily subcutaneous approach using a practical dilution for clear insulin‑syringe measurements.

Research context: For evidence on mechanisms, human and preclinical research, limitations, and safety, read What is MGF? A Clear Guide to Mechano Growth Factor (MGF).

Standard / Gradual Approach (3 mL = ~1.67 mg/mL)

Week 1

100 mcg (0.1 mg)

6 units (0.06 mL)

Week 2

150 mcg (0.15 mg)

9 units (0.09 mL)

Week 3

200 mcg (0.2 mg)

12 units (0.12 mL)

Week 4

250 mcg (0.25 mg)

15 units (0.15 mL)

Weeks 5–8

300 mcg (0.3 mg)

18 units (0.18 mL)

Frequency: Inject once daily subcutaneously. This schedule uses the largest practical dilution (3.0 mL) to keep per‑injection units manageable for accuracy. For ≤10‑unit (≤0.10 mL) administrations during early titration, consider 30‑ or 50‑unit insulin syringes for improved readability.

Reconstitution Steps

Draw 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.

Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid foaming.

Gently swirl/roll until dissolved (do not shake).

Label and refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F), protected from light; use within approximately 30 days[5].

Supplies Needed

Plan based on an 8–16 week daily protocol with gradual titration.

Peptide Vials (MGF, 5 mg each):

8 weeks ≈ 3 vials

12 weeks ≈ 5 vials

16 weeks ≈ 8 vials

Insulin Syringes (U‑100):

Per week: 7 syringes (1/day)

8 weeks: 56 syringes

12 weeks: 84 syringes

16 weeks: 112 syringes

Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL bottles): Use ~3.0 mL per vial for reconstitution.

8 weeks (3 vials): 9 mL → 1 × 10 mL bottle

12 weeks (5 vials): 15 mL → 2 × 10 mL bottles

16 weeks (8 vials): 24 mL → 3 × 10 mL bottles

Alcohol Swabs: One for the vial stopper + one for the injection site each day.

Per week: 14 swabs (2/day)

8 weeks: 112 swabs → recommend 2 × 100‑count boxes

12 weeks: 168 swabs → recommend 2 × 100‑count boxes

16 weeks: 224 swabs → recommend 3 × 100‑count boxes

01GHK (Copper-Free) — frequently asked questions

Wipe the stopper with an alcohol swab, then inject your bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside wall of the vial. Let it sit and gently swirl until dissolved — never shake. Store the mixed vial in the refrigerator and draw doses with an insulin syringe. Use the calculator above to turn any dose into syringe units. There is no single correct amount — more water simply spreads the same 50 mg of peptide across a larger volume, which makes small doses easier to measure accurately. 1 to 3 mL per vial is typical. Enter your chosen volume in the calculator above to see the resulting concentration and syringe units. On a U-100 insulin syringe, 100 units equal 1 mL, so 1 unit equals 0.01 mL. The calculator above converts your draw volume into these units automatically so you can measure without doing the math by hand. Keep the reconstituted vial refrigerated at roughly 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, away from light, and avoid freezing it. Reconstituted research peptides are generally used within a few weeks. Always follow the specific guidance supplied with your product. Divide the vial strength of 50 mg by the amount you use per injection. The calculator above reports this as "doses per vial" the moment you enter a dose.

How-to reference

How to convert mcg to mg (and back)

Because the factor is exactly 1000, every conversion is a decimal-point move of three places — no calculator strictly required once you see the pattern: mcg → mg: divide by 1000, i.e. move the decimal point three places to the left. 500 mcg → 0.5 mg; 100 mcg → 0.1 mg; 1500 mcg → 1.5 mg. mg → mcg: multiply by 1000, i.e. move the decimal point three places to the right. 0.5 mg → 500 mcg; 2 mg → 2000 mcg; 1.25 mg → 1250 mcg. The tool above does the same move for you and trims trailing zeros, so you can paste in any value — whole or fractional — and read the exact counterpart.

Cerebrolysin Dosage Chart

Cerebrolysin is dosed at 20 mg–32 mg daily via subcutaneous injection in educational protocols. A 60 mg vial reconstituted with bacteriostatic water yields about 20 mg/mL. This information is for research and educational use only. Reconstitute: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 20 mg/mL concentration. Typical daily range: 20–32 mg once daily (gradual titration); split doses for >20 mg. Easy measuring: At 20 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL = 200 mcg (0.2 mg) on a U‑100 insulin syringe. Storage: Lyophilized at room temperature ≤25 °C (≤77 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F) and use within 7 days; do not freeze. Cerebrolysin is a porcine brain‑derived peptide preparation containing low‑molecular‑weight neuropeptides and free amino acids that crosses the blood–brain barrier to support neuronal survival[1]. It mimics endogenous neurotrophic factors (e.g., NGF, BDNF) and modulates neuroinflammatory mediators[1][2]. This educational protocol presents a once‑daily subcutaneous approach using a practical dilution for clear insulin‑syringe measurements. Research context: For evidence on mechanisms, human and preclinical research, limitations, and safety, read Cerebrolysin Peptide: Benefits, Uses, Side Effects, Dosage, and Research.
