- Stress recovery / cortisol regulation
- 100–200 mcg
- Subcutaneous
- 30–60 min before sleep or immediately post-stress
- 25–35% faster cortisol normalization; reduced stress-induced sleep latency
- Most cost-effective protocol. Low dose, consistent results, daily administration viable long-term
- Sleep architecture improvement
- 150–250 mcg
- 45–60 min before lights-out
- 18–26% increase in slow-wave sleep duration; 20–30% reduction in sleep-onset latency
- Requires polysomnography to verify. Subjective sleep quality doesn't always correlate with measurable architecture changes
- Pain management / inflammatory modulation
- 300–500 mcg
- Intramuscular or intravenous
- Variable. Often 2–3x daily in clinical settings
- Reduced substance P release; modulation of IL-1β and IL-6 inflammatory markers
- Not a first-line recovery tool. This dose range targets pain pathways, not sleep or HPA axis directly
- Single-dose trial (tolerance assessment)
- 50–100 mcg
- Evening, 60 min before sleep
- Minimal sedation; possible mild relaxation; no measurable sleep architecture change at single dose
- Useful for assessing individual tolerance before committing to multi-day protocol. Effects subtle at this range
