Solution Peptides carries all of the following peptides and I am getting quite a few questions on them so I decided to do a little overview on dosing from the ongoing human clinical trials.
[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Caveats:” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”” font_weight=”700″][vc_column_text]
- The following information is in part overview of dosages used in human clinical trials and part my personal opinion on POTENTIAL dosing approaches for these RESEARCH PEPTIDES.
- I will be gathering more community feedback on these newer GLP1 Peptides from the community in coming weeks and reporting my findings!!
[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”BIG Picture KEY Takeaways:” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”” font_weight=”700″][vc_column_text]
- My research approach is ALWAYS for very first dose I consider it a TEST dose and I reduce the dose by ½ to ¼ the “suggested starting dose” based on the human studies.
- This significantly reduces risk of side effects, allows research animal to gauge tolerance and may result in research subject finding a much lower dose is all thats needed!!
- I have utilized and taught this simple principle for 7+ YEARS now with peptides and other compounds. It is a simple approach that can be applied to ALL peptides.
- As always remember there is no one size fits all approach so FIND what works best for your research utilizing the LOW and SLOW Biohacking principle 🙂

Retatrutide (LY3437943) is an triple agonist of the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, glucagon-like peptide 1, and glucagon receptors.

[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Dosage/Frequency:” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”” font_weight=”700″][vc_column_text]
- Dosages used in clinical trials ranged from 1mg 1x per week up to 12mg 1x per week
[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”My Personal Opinion on starting dose:” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”” font_weight=”700″][vc_column_text]
- I like a very conservative TEST dose for week 1 at 1/2 – 1/4 the lowest dose studied
- Reason being MANY individuals have reported strong side effects at the starting dose recommended for Semaglutide and or Tirzepatide.
- We have found that research subjects who cut dose by 1/2 – 1/4 starting out SIGNIFICANTLY reduce side effects. We have also learned that some subjects will actually lose weight at those reduced doses.
- This approach ALWAYS helps to mitigate side effects with ALL PEPTIDES. It’s a universal approach that can be used.
Ex. 1/2 the “suggested” starting dose of 1mg would be .5mg (500mcg)
[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Cagrilinitide:” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”” font_weight=”700″][vc_column_text]
Natural amylin is a pancreatic hormone that induces satiety. Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analogue under investigation for weight management.
[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Dosage/Frequency:” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”” font_weight=”700″][vc_column_text]
- Dosing used in most recent human clinical trials ranged from .3mg up to 4.5mg at a dosing frequency of 1x per week
- httpss://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Once-weekly-cagrilintide-for-weight-management-in-a-Lau-Erichsen/7eec2610e06b95d47695205d4eaa741f4502a65b
[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”My Personal Opinion on starting dose:” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”” font_weight=”700″][vc_column_text]
- ANY new peptide/compound I personally like to start w/ a test dose for the research subject. I typically like to go 1/2 to sometimes even 1/4 the “suggested starting dose”. This helps to mitigate subject side effects as well as give the subjects body time to adjust to the peptide.
- Based on that first dose response I will then slowly titrate up towards doses that have been found efficacious in the literature.
- So in this situation my approach would be a test dose for week 1 at approximately .15mg (150mcg)
- This would be 1/2 the lowest dose studied that showed efficacy for weight loss
- For subjects who tend to be EXTREMELY sensitive I would consider a test dose of 1/4 the lowest dose studied.
- This test does is NOT to try and lose weight that first week but to gauge tolerance/ avoid side effects. Then taper up based on response.

[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”CagriSema:” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”” font_weight=”700″][vc_column_text]
“The results indicate that CagriSema reduces blood sugar more than semaglutide alone, and the weight loss seen in the trial confirms the substantial weight lowering potential of CagriSema.”
[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Dosage/Frequency:” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”” font_weight=”700″][vc_column_text]
- Dosing in Cagri Sema studies ranged .16mg Cagri up to 4.5mg Cagri
- Combined with Semaglutide at 2.4mg (THAT’S MAX SEMA DOSE!!)
- A separate study SLOWLY titrated subjects to 2.4mg of Cagri and 2.4mg of Sema
- Again important to know 2.4mg of Sema is MAX STUDIED dose and would absolutely ROCK some subjects with side effects..

[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”My Personal Opinion on starting dose:” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”” font_weight=”700″][vc_column_text]
- My personal opinion on researching CagriSema would be a very conservative test dose at .15mg (150mcg) of Cagri and .15mg (150mcg) of Sema
- It appears at around 1.2mg of Cagri close to peak benefits were achieved but there is NEVER a one size fits all approach. Subjects may notice benefits at a lower dose, personally I do not like to rush tapering up if subject is having benefits at lower doses.
- Same ole principles I preach 🙂 START LOW and SLOW then SLOWLY TAPER UP and back off – slow titration if needed.
- This approach ALWAYS helps to mitigate side effects with ALL PEPTIDES. It’s a universal approach that can be used.

I will be gathering real world feedback on these peptides in coming weeks so look out for those findings!!
