The approved titration starts at 2.5mg for four weeks, then escalates in 2.5mg increments every four weeks. Outside of clinical settings, community-reported protocols vary widely. This unit covers the FDA-approved schedule, what community users report about titration speed, reconstitution of lyophilized peptide, stacking with other compounds, and cycling strategies.
