Weight Loss Peptide Cheat Sheet — Research Notes

Key considerations and protocol notes for each peptide in this cheat sheet.

Weight

sur

Metabolic

Survodutide

Survodutide (BI 456906) is a dual glucagon/GLP-1 receptor agonist developed by Boehringer Ingelheim, showing potent weight loss effects by reducing appetite and increasing energy expenditure. It has shown strong efficacy in clinical trials for obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), with weekly subcutaneous injections following a dose-escalation protocol.

Weight

bam

Metabolic

BAM-15

Research dosing 0.5–2 mg/kg; human equivalent ~50–200 mg. BAM-15 is a mitochondrial protonophore that uncouples oxidative phosphorylation, promoting fat loss without raising body temperature — a key safety advantage over DNP. Primarily preclinical with limited human data.

Weight

maz

Metabolic

Mazdutide

Mazdutide (IBI362) is a dual GLP-1/glucagon receptor co-agonist developed by Innovent Biologics, studied for obesity and type 2 diabetes management. It promotes significant weight loss and improved glycemic control by simultaneously activating GLP-1 receptors to suppress appetite and glucagon receptors to boost energy expenditure.

Weight

cag

Metabolic

Cagrilintide

Amylin analog; suppresses appetite

Growth

hex

Growth

Hexarelin

Strong GH release, desensitizes quickly (subQ)

Weight

GLP-2

Metabolic

GLP-2

Dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist (Tirzepatide). Microdose protocol (500 mcg) also used to reduce side effects. Administer weekly or every-other-day microdose.

Growth

ipa

Growth

Ipamorelin

GH secretagogue with minimal side effects. Administer at night, two hours fasted. SubQ injection.

Growth

cjc1

Growth

CJC-1295 with DAC

Long-acting GHRH analog steady GH

Growth

ghrp

Growth

GHRP-6

Stimulates GH release and appetite

Growth

ser

Growth

Sermorelin

Growth hormone release

Growth

tes

Metabolic

Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin

Blend of Tesamorelin (2 mg) and Ipamorelin (2 mg). Reduces visceral fat and stimulates GH release. Dosing: 100–200 mcg each per injection (200–400 mcg total).

Weight

tesa

Growth

Tesamorelin

Reduces visceral fat, improves metabolism

Weight

GLP-1

Metabolic

GLP-1

Long-acting GLP-1 agonist (Semaglutide). Also available as a pre-filled pen — no BAC water needed in pen format.

Weight

GLP-3

Metabolic

GLP-3

Microdose protocol (0.5–3 mg). Triple agonist (Retatrutide); microdosing reduces side effects.

Metabolic

5am

Longevity

5-Amino-1MQ

Mitochondrial function; fat loss support

Weight

aod

Metabolic

AOD-9604

HGH fragment that promotes fat burning. Reconstitute with 2 mL BAC water + 1 mL 0.6% acetic acid for full solubility.

Growth

cjci

Growth

CJC-1295 (No Dac)/Ipamorelin

Blend of CJC-1295 (No DAC) and Ipamorelin (5 mg each). 2–3× daily for enhanced GH release. Combination of CJC-1295 (No DAC) and Ipamorelin.

Growth

cjc

Growth

CJC-1295 (without DAC)

Short-acting GHRH analog for GH pulses

Growth

ghr

Growth

GHRP-2

GH release, less hunger than GHRP-6

Frequently asked questions

What is a peptide dosage calculator?

A peptide dosage calculator is a free tool that converts your vial size, bacteriostatic water volume, and target dose into an exact syringe draw volume. Instead of doing the reconstitution math by hand, you enter three inputs and instantly get the concentration of your solution and how many milliliters or syringe units to draw. This calculator works for single peptide compounds and multi-peptide blends.

How do I calculate peptide dosage from a vial?

To calculate your peptide dose, divide the total peptide content of your vial in micrograms by the volume of bacteriostatic water you added in milliliters. This gives you your solution concentration in mcg/mL. Then divide your target dose by that concentration to get your draw volume. For example, a 5mg (5,000 mcg) vial reconstituted with 2mL of BAC water gives a concentration of 2,500 mcg/mL. A 250 mcg dose would require drawing 0.1mL. This calculator automates all of those steps instantly.

How much Bacteriostatic water should I add to a peptide vial?

Most people add 2mL to 3mL of bacteriostatic water per vial, but the right amount depends on the dose you want to draw and the syringe size you are using. Adding 1mL to a 5mg vial gives you a concentration of 5,000 mcg/mL, making each dose very small in volume. Adding 2mL gives you 2,500 mcg/mL, which is easier to measure on a standard insulin syringe. A general guideline is to choose a volume that puts your typical dose somewhere between 10 and 30 units on a U-100 syringe. Use the calculator above to test different water volumes and find what works for your dose.

How are peptides different from proteins?

Both are made of amino acids, but peptides are much smaller than proteins. Because of their tiny size, peptides can act like tiny messengers in the body, sending specific signals to your cells to tell them exactly what to do.​
