PEG MGF (2 mg Vial)
PEG MGF is a pegylated variant of mechano-growth factor, a muscle-derived IGF-1 splice isoform that is upregulated after mechanical stress or injury. The unique C-terminal E peptide of MGF activates muscle satellite cells and local protein synthesis, initiating tissue repair and growth in addition to IGF-1 receptor signaling. This educational protocol presents a once-daily subcutaneous approach using a practical dilution for clear insulin-syringe measurements.
Detailed protocol below.
| Week | Daily Dose (mcg) | Units (per injection) (mL) |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | 200 mcg | 30 units (0.30 mL) |
| Weeks 3–4 | 300 mcg | 45 units (0.45 mL) |
| Weeks 5–6 | 400 mcg | 60 units (0.60 mL) |
| Weeks 7–8 | 500 mcg | 75 units (0.75 mL) |
- •Peptide Vials (PEG MGF, 2 mg each):
- •Insulin Syringes (U-100):
- •Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL bottles): Use ~3.0 mL per vial for reconstitution.
- •Alcohol Swabs: One for the vial stopper + one for the injection site each day.
