Kisspeptin Dosage

Kisspeptin is looking increasingly promising for improving libido and sexual function. Check out this new study:


Can anyone (@readalot ?) help me figure out what 1 nmol/kg of kisspeptin translates to in micrograms? That is the dose per hour they gave these men, for 1 hour and 15 minutes. I assume a subcutaneous shot of the same dosage would be a good starting point if I wanted to experiment with it.

Using kisspeptin-54 molecular weight (assume 5857 g/mol but there are various peptide lengths)....

1 nmol/kg/hr x 5857 ng/nmol x 1 mcg/1000 ng = 5.857 or ~ 6 mcg/kg/hr

Oh, I didn't realize there were different forms of kisspeptin. That dose of kisspeptin-54 works out to around 500 mcg for me. From what I've seen, common kisspeptin-10 doses are something like 100 mcg daily. The lower dose for kisspeptin-10 looks like it is supported by some data from this study where 1 mcg/kg produced a stronger LH response than higher doses:

 
In my first trial with KS-10, my total T levels increased 40% after a month on 100mcg/day (You can read about it on my previous post here) - but - I was also taking tesa/ipa/cjc which may have an influence on T levels as well. I am now awaiting the labs after upping the dose of KS-10 to 100mcg twice daily to see if I I get even more of a boost further.

Did you get the labs?
 
Where is everyone getting their kisspeptin from? If it’s from a random website like peptide sciences and not a pharmacy I’m not going to do that.
I don't believe TMC has much of any injectable peptides available since the FDA investigation a couple years back and more recent product recalls. PS is the only one I trust now + the practitoner markups of pharma peptides are ridiculous. I have had thje PS peptides 3rd-party tested and all came out 99%+ pure.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
