Epithalon dosage for a 10-day course

Two patterns are in circulation, and they differ only in how many days the course runs. The amount, 5 to 10 mg once a day, is the same in both. Read the source column too, because every figure here is the convention on education and vendor pages, not a number from a trial. Background on the peptide itself is on the epithalon page.

Epithalon is sold as a freeze-dried powder, mostly in 10 mg and 50 mg vials, and a few other sizes turn up now and then. You mix it with bacteriostatic water, which is sterile water with a preservative so one vial can be drawn from more than once. The chart describes injection, which is how education pages and vendors present it. Intranasal use appears in rodent research, but no dose is sourced for it.

The tables show the units to draw on a U-100 syringe, which holds 100 units in 1 mL, for 1, 2 and 3 mL of water. The amounts are the two ends of the chart range, 5 mg and 10 mg.

Units are math from the chart amounts, rounded to one decimal in the strength column. "Over one syringe" means the draw is more than the 100 units a 1 mL syringe holds.

A 10 mg dose from a 10 mg vial takes the whole vial in one draw, and with 2 or 3 mL of water that draw won't fit in a single syringe. If you're taking 10 mg a day from 10 mg vials, 1 mL of water keeps it to one syringe. A 50 mg vial gives small, easy draws at either amount. For any other vial, water or amount, the reconstitution calculator does the same math.

Once a day. Both courses use one injection a day, as described on peptide education pages and vendor sites.

Ten days is the standard course. The same sources give 10 days in a row as the most common length, with 20 days as a less common variant at the same daily amount.

Two to three courses a year. The standard course is repeated 2 to 3 times a year, so months pass between courses. The 20-day course is described as once or twice a year. Those pages credit a research group in St. Petersburg, Russia, and none of it comes from a study that compared schedules.

Time of day. No study or label sets one. Pick a time you can repeat for every day of the course.

For planning, a 10-day course at 5 to 10 mg a day is 50 to 100 mg in all, and a 20-day course is 100 to 200 mg. Compare vendors on price per milligram against that total, not on the price of one vial.

A mixed vial goes on a 28-day clock in the fridge the day water goes in, however much of it gets used. At 5 to 10 mg a day, a 10 or 50 mg vial runs out in 10 days or fewer, well inside that window. The clock matters at the end of a course, because a half-used vial won't keep until the next one, which is months away.

A 10 mg vial lasts 2 days at 5 mg a day and 1 day at 10 mg a day. A 50 mg vial lasts 10 days at 5 mg a day and 5 days at 10 mg a day.

A 10-day course at 5 mg a day is 50 mg, so one 50 mg vial covers it exactly, with nothing left to expire. At 10 mg a day the course is 100 mg, which is two 50 mg vials or ten 10 mg vials. Both sizes come out even, so nothing has to sit in the fridge until the next course.

These are reported experiences from people who run epithalon, not findings from a study.

Redness or irritation where you injected. People report it, usually mild and brief. They rotate the spot each day, and some stop the course early if it lasts beyond a short flush.

A headache that doesn't clear. It's reported less often. People usually stop the course if it carries on past a day or two.

Vivid dreams or sleep that shifts. Some people report this during a course. Some write down when they injected so they can see whether it lines up.

No completed human safety study exists for epithalon, and the open questions are laid out on the epithalon page. If sleep is the main goal, DSIP dosage covers the compound people usually weigh it against, and the DSIP vs. epithalon comparison sets them side by side.
