Dihexa Dosage Protocols
Dihexa dosing in research requires extreme caution due to its extraordinary potency — it has been reported to be up to 10 million times more potent than BDNF in promoting synaptogenesis.
| Route | Dose | Frequency | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oral | 5–20 mg | Once daily | 2–4 weeks |
| Subcutaneous | 1–5 mg | Once daily | 2–4 weeks |
Dihexa is notable among peptides for having oral bioavailability, making it accessible without injection. The low dose range reflects its extreme potency as a hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) pathway modulator. Research on dihexa is preliminary, and dosing guidelines are based on limited animal and early human data.
Reconstitution & Preparation
Dihexa is available in both capsule (oral) and lyophilized (injectable) forms:
- Oral: Pre-dosed capsules — no reconstitution needed
- Injectable: Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water following standard procedures. Due to very low doses, precise concentration calculation is essential
For injectable preparation, use the peptide calculator for exact volumes. See the reconstitution guide for general preparation.
Timing & Cycle Length
Dihexa timing considerations:
- Time of day: Morning administration is commonly preferred for its cognitive-enhancing applications
- Cycle length: Short cycles of 2–4 weeks are typical, given the limited long-term safety data
- No fasting requirement for oral administration
- Caution: The extreme potency of dihexa warrants conservative dosing and cycle length
Storage
Dihexa storage:
- Capsules: Store in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration extends shelf life
- Lyophilized: -20°C long-term, 2–8°C for months
- Reconstituted: Refrigerate at 2–8°C, use within 28 days
