40-compound reference · checked 7 October 2026

Peptide dosing reference

A source-attributed reference to doses used in human research or licensed product information, alongside recurring clinic, specialist and community protocols. Different routes, formulations and evidence levels are kept separate rather than averaged into one misleading “dose”.

Reference, not a prescription. Human-study doses belong to the population, route and formulation actually studied. Clinic/community schedules document reported practice and may be unsupported or unsafe. They are not recommendations. For unapproved compounds, no table here establishes a safe human dose.

Evidence reality check

Selank is a good candidate for PP's 'source transparency' model: one human dose is unusually specific, while much of the online 100–600 mcg advice is community convention rather than a clearly documented clinical regimen.

Evidence reality check

Semaglutide has strong licensed and Phase-3 dosing evidence. PP should distinguish Wegovy obesity dosing from Ozempic diabetes dosing and should not call community 'microdosing' an evidence-based regimen.

Semax dosing is indication- and formulation-dependent. Acute Russian neurological protocols can be many times larger than Western nootropic schedules, so PP should not collapse them into a single 200–600 mcg figure.

SLU-PP-332 is NOT a peptide; it is a small-molecule ERR agonist. There is no human dose, no human pharmacokinetics and no human safety dataset. Any human schedule on the internet is speculative and should receive PP's lowest evidence grade.

Tesamorelin is a strong example of why 'units' should never be shown without mg and concentration: Perfect B's 25 units = 1 mg only because its example uses 10 mg in 2.5 mL. PP should always make milligrams the primary dose.

Evidence reality check

Tirzepatide has strong licensed dosing evidence. PP should present the FDA ladder prominently, then separately document slower or sub-label community practice rather than blending them into the approved schedule.

Evidence checked: 7 October 2026

Units are arithmetic, not dose. Syringe “units” depend on concentration. PP therefore leads with mg, mcg, IU or mL and keeps reconstitution arithmetic in the calculator rather than pretending that a number of syringe units is universal.
