THE PEPS RX READING ROOM

How to read a peptide label

Concentration, total API, and vial volume are different. Here is how to keep them straight.

Start with the ingredient list.

A blend should identify every component. Wolverine contains BPC-157 and TB-500. KLOW lists BPC-157, GHK-Cu, KPV, and TB-500, in that order. A trade name alone does not explain a formulation.

Concentration is not total vial content.

A concentration describes the amount in a unit of volume. Wolverine is listed as 3 mg/3 mg per mL in a 5 mL vial. That corresponds to 15 mg of each ingredient in the entire vial. This is label interpretation, not a dose.

Watch the units.

A milligram and a microgram are not interchangeable. The IGF-LR3 listing is 200 mcg total per vial. NAD+ is 1,000 mg total per vial. Read the actual unit rather than comparing the numbers alone.

Do not infer a treatment schedule.

Volume and total API do not tell you how much to inject or how long to use it. Those decisions belong to a licensed clinician, with dispensing instructions from the pharmacy.

Educational information only. Product specifications are not dosing instructions.

Read the source, too.
