The peptide cheat sheet.
48 peptides. Vial, water, reference dose, syringe units, frequency and cycle, all in one place.
Education, not medical advice. Only an LYV provider can tell you whether a peptide is right for you, which one and at what dose. Most peptides are not FDA approved to treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Reference doses are common starting points, not your dose. Your prescription always wins. "Ohio restricted" marks peptides the Ohio Board of Pharmacy limits; your provider will tell you what can be prescribed. Units assume a U-100 insulin syringe.
