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
