Defaults match this guide (5 mg + 2 mL BAC). Change water or dose and the unit tables below update automatically.
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 (2 mL BAC → 2.50 mg/mL · 25.0 mcg/unit). Doses below are once daily during the course — not weekly.
Standard course
Orexin/hypocretin peptides regulate wake and appetite circuitry. There is no validated consumer SC “energy” dose for Orexin B research vials. Tables below are microgram recon illustrations for laboratory logistics only.
| Phase | Daily dose | Units | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lab example · 50 mcg | 50 mcg0.05 mg | 2 u | 0.02 mLMicrogram educational example only |
| Lab example · 100 mcg | 100 mcg0.1 mg | 4 u | 0.04 mLMicrogram educational example only |
Alternate / higher courses
Shorter or higher daily courses discussed in research communities — not a clinical recommendation

Orexin B 5 mg vials
1 vial
~150 mcg mg total peptide over this 2-day course at 50 mcg → 100 mcg per injection (phase ladder). Each vial holds 5 mg.
Bacteriostatic water
1 × 3 mL bottle
2 mL BAC per vial × 1 vial = 2.0 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 5 mg Orexin B vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature.
- Draw 2.0 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. "2.5 mg/mL — 2 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
- ·Not a stimulant “pre-workout” peptide with established human SC protocols.
- ·Research use only.
Research context & considerations
Orexin B is a hypocretin neuropeptide involved in arousal and feeding regulation. Loss of orexin signaling is central to narcolepsy type 1 biology. Research vials are not approved wake drugs.
- ·Central nervous system peptide — theoretical risk if misused systemically.
- ·Not FDA-approved for research-vial consumer use.
- ·Pregnancy out of scope.
