MGF (5 mg Vial) Dosage Protocol

Quickstart Highlights

Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is a splice variant of IGF‑1 (IGF‑1Ec in humans) produced in response to mechanical stress and tissue damage^[1]^[2]. Research indicates MGF plays a role in muscle repair, satellite cell activation, and bone regeneration^[3]^[4]. This educational protocol presents a once‑daily subcutaneous approach using a practical dilution for clear insulin‑syringe measurements.

Reconstitute: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → ~1.67 mg/mL concentration.

Typical daily range: 100–300 mcg once daily (gradual titration).

Easy measuring: At 1.67 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL ≈ 16.7 mcg on a U‑100 insulin syringe.

Storage: Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); use within ~30 days.

Dosing & Reconstitution Guide

Educational guide for reconstitution and daily dosing

Standard / Gradual Approach (3 mL = ~1.67 mg/mL)

Week	Daily Dose (mcg)	Units (per injection) (mL)
Week 1	100 mcg (0.1 mg)	6 units (0.06 mL)
Week 2	150 mcg (0.15 mg)	9 units (0.09 mL)
Week 3	200 mcg (0.2 mg)	12 units (0.12 mL)
Week 4	250 mcg (0.25 mg)	15 units (0.15 mL)
Weeks 5–8	300 mcg (0.3 mg)	18 units (0.18 mL)

Frequency: Inject once daily subcutaneously. This schedule uses the largest practical dilution (3.0 mL) to keep per‑injection units manageable for accuracy. For ≤10‑unit (≤0.10 mL) administrations during early titration, consider 30‑ or 50‑unit insulin syringes for improved readability.

Reconstitution Steps

Draw 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.

Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid foaming.

Gently swirl/roll until dissolved (do not shake).

Label and refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F), protected from light; use within approximately 30 days^[5].

Supplies Needed

Plan based on an 8–16 week daily protocol with gradual titration.

Peptide Vials (MGF, 5 mg each):

8 weeks ≈ 3 vials
12 weeks ≈ 5 vials
16 weeks ≈ 8 vials

Insulin Syringes (U‑100):

Per week: 7 syringes (1/day)
8 weeks: 56 syringes
12 weeks: 84 syringes
16 weeks: 112 syringes

Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL bottles): Use ~3.0 mL per vial for reconstitution.

8 weeks (3 vials): 9 mL → 1 × 10 mL bottle
12 weeks (5 vials): 15 mL → 2 × 10 mL bottles
16 weeks (8 vials): 24 mL → 3 × 10 mL bottles

Alcohol Swabs: One for the vial stopper + one for the injection site each day.

Per week: 14 swabs (2/day)
8 weeks: 112 swabs → recommend 2 × 100‑count boxes
12 weeks: 168 swabs → recommend 2 × 100‑count boxes
16 weeks: 224 swabs → recommend 3 × 100‑count boxes

Protocol Overview

Concise summary of the once‑daily regimen.

Goal: Support tissue repair and regenerative processes through localized growth factor signaling^[3]^[4].

Schedule: Daily subcutaneous injections for 8–12 weeks (extend to 16 weeks if desired).

Dose Range: 100–300 mcg daily with gradual titration.

Reconstitution: 3.0 mL per 5 mg vial (~1.67 mg/mL) for accurate unit measurements.

Storage: Lyophilized frozen; reconstituted refrigerated; avoid repeated freeze–thaw.
