Peptide Dosage Chart

An at-a-glance dosing reference for 30 peptides and related compounds, grouped by use and sorted by regulatory status. Every row links to a full, source-backed dosage guide. We sell nothing and link to no vendors — this is a map of what dosing looks like and where each compound actually stands, not a recommendation to use any of it.

⚠️ Read this first

These are summary figures for orientation, not instructions. Doses, routes, and schedules differ sharply by regulatory status: FDA-approved drugs have labeled dosing a prescriber individualizes; investigational compounds list trial dosing only and are not approved; research-only entries report community/preclinical ranges with no validated human dose. A few entries (MK-677, tesofensine, NAD+, 5-Amino-1MQ) are not peptides at all — they're included because they travel with peptides in the same protocols. Always open the full guide for the sourced detail and caveats, and follow a licensed clinician.

How to use this chart

Start with the status column, because it changes what every other number means. An FDA-approved figure (semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide, tesamorelin, PT-141) is a labeled dose your prescriber tailors. An "approved abroad" figure (Semax, Selank, GHRP-2, Thymosin Alpha-1) reflects a foreign regulator's dosing, not the FDA's — in the US those are research or compounded. An "investigational" figure (retatrutide, CagriSema, survodutide, tesofensine) is trial dosing for a drug that is not approved. And "research-only" figures are community or preclinical ranges with no validated human dose. The grouping by use lets you compare siblings — for example, the growth-hormone secretagogues, or the GLP-1 family — side by side.

For the GLP-1 drugs specifically, the GLP-1 Titration Planner turns these ranges into a dated week-by-week escalation schedule. For the legal picture behind the status labels, see the Regulatory Status Tracker; for vial math, the Reconstitution Calculator.

Educational only — not medical advice. Figures summarize the linked guides and may be simplified; the full guide is the authoritative version. Nothing here is a recommendation to obtain or use any compound. Consult a licensed clinician.
