Sermorelin Dosing Protocol: 10 mg Vial — Extended Cycle Dosing & Supplies

Two-month supply guide for sermorelin using the 10 mg vial — efficient for patients on established 300–500 μg nightly protocols.

Quickstart highlights

Sermorelin GHRH 1-29 NH2 stimulates somatotroph GH release through pituitary GHRH receptor binding.

Concentration: 2 mg/mL (10 mg vial + 5 mL bacteriostatic water).

At 2 mg/mL: 200 μg = 10 units, 300 μg = 15 units, 500 μg = 25 units nightly.

One 10 mg vial provides 33 nightly doses at 300 μg or 20 doses at 500 μg.

Inject 30–60 minutes before sleep; avoid food 2 hours prior.

Refrigerate; use within 28 days of reconstitution.

Cycle progress

Reconstitution steps

Draw 5 mL bacteriostatic water into a 10 mL syringe or in two 2.5 mL draws from a 3 mL syringe.

Inject slowly down the vial wall; swirl gently until fully dissolved — do not shake.

Final concentration: 2 mg/mL. At 2 mg/mL: 1 unit (U-100) = 20 μg.

Label with date and concentration (2 mg/mL); refrigerate at 2–8 °C. Use within 28 days.

Protocol overview & cycle notes

Provide an extended 12-week supply of sermorelin from a single 10 mg vial for patients at established 300–500 μg nightly maintenance dosing, reducing reconstitution frequency versus the 5 mg vial.

Cycle length: 12 weeks on.

Off-cycle: 4–6 weeks off; check IGF-1 before resuming.

Storage & handling

Injection & tracking tips

Inject subcutaneously 30–60 minutes before sleep for optimal nocturnal GH pulse amplification.

Avoid food for 2 hours before injection; insulinogenic states suppress GH response to sermorelin.

The 10 mg vial at 2 mg/mL requires 5 mL bac water — use two separate draws from a 3 mL syringe or a larger syringe if available.

Tracking

Logging helps you and your provider spot patterns and adjust dose or timing.

Measure IGF-1 at baseline and every 6 weeks to track GH axis response.

Log morning resting heart rate, sleep hours, and subjective energy (0–10) weekly.

Record body composition changes at 8 and 16 weeks.
