Step 1
Reconstitution
Peptide amount in the vial and how much bacteriostatic water you add.
Step 2
Your dose
This guide uses microgram-scale research doses — quick picks are in mcg (100 mcg = 0.1 mg).

Research cycle phases
Units and volumes recompute from your Step 1 concentration (1 mL BAC → 2.00 mg/mL · 20.0 mcg/unit). Doses below are once daily during the course — not weekly.
Standard course
Secondary educational tables often discuss ~100–200 mcg per training-day injection (sometimes higher). Human dose is not established like pharmaceutical GH or approved IGF products. Distinct from long-acting IGF-1 LR3.
| Phase | Daily dose | Units | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Training-day · 100 mcg | 100 mcg0.1 mg | 5 u | 0.05 mLCommon lower secondary amount |
| Training-day · 200 mcg | 200 mcg0.2 mg | 10 u | 0.10 mLCommon mid secondary amount |
Alternate / higher courses
Shorter or higher daily courses discussed in research communities — not a clinical recommendation
| Phase | Daily dose | Units | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|

MGF 2 mg vials
1 vial
~300 mcg mg total peptide over this 2-day course at 100 mcg → 200 mcg per injection (phase ladder). Each vial holds 2 mg.
Bacteriostatic water
1 × 3 mL bottle
1 mL BAC per vial × 1 vial = 1.0 mL total. Buy as 1× 3 mL bottle or 1× 10 mL bottle (whichever you stock).
U-100 insulin syringes (100-unit)
2+ syringes
About one 100-unit syringe per injection for this schedule. Keep a few spares.
Alcohol swabs & sharps
~6 swabs · 1 sharps container
Wipe vial stopper and injection site each time. Dispose needles in a proper sharps container.
Reconstitution steps
- Allow the lyophilized 2 mg MGF vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature.
- Draw 1.0 mL bacteriostatic water (default for this guide).
- Inject BAC slowly down the inner wall of the vial — avoid blasting the powder cake.
- Gently swirl or roll until the solution is clear. Do not shake hard (foaming).
- Label with recon date and concentration (e.g. "2.0 mg/mL — 1 mL BAC").
- Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F), protected from light. Prefer using a reconstituted multi-dose vial within ~28 days with sterile technique.
Storage
Lyophilized
Keep dry powder cold and dark when possible (−20 °C / −4 °F preferred for long-term research stock).
Reconstituted
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F). Avoid freeze–thaw of the working solution. Prefer finishing within ~28 days.
- ·Write recon date and BAC volume on the label.
- ·Protect from light during storage.
- ·Discard if cloudy, particulates, or odd odor appear after reconstitution.
Protocol notes
- ·MGF refers to IGF-1Ec / mechano growth factor research narratives — product identity of market vials varies.
- ·Calculator: 0.1 mg = 100 mcg.
- ·Research use only.
Research context & considerations
Mechano growth factor is an IGF-1 splice-variant concept linked to mechanical load and satellite-cell research. Injectable research powders are experimental and not approved muscle drugs.
- ·IGF-pathway hypoglycemia and growth-signal cautions apply in class discussions.
- ·Not FDA-approved.
- ·Pregnancy out of scope.
