GLOW Dosage Protocols
GLOW is a proprietary peptide blend formulated for skin health and rejuvenation. As a blend, dosing follows the manufacturer's recommended protocol rather than individual peptide dosing guidelines.
| Route | Dose | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Subcutaneous | Per product label | 3–5× weekly | Follow manufacturer guidelines for the specific vial concentration |
The peptide is typically supplied in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form and requires reconstitution before use. Dosing depends on the vial concentration and the manufacturer's protocol.
Reconstitution & Preparation
Standard peptide reconstitution applies to GLOW:
- Use bacteriostatic water (BAC water) for reconstitution
- Direct the stream of water down the side of the vial — never inject directly onto the lyophilized cake
- Gently swirl the vial until the powder is fully dissolved — do not shake
- The solution should be clear and free of particles after reconstitution
Use the peptide calculator to determine exact injection volumes based on your vial size and desired dose. For complete step-by-step instructions, see the reconstitution guide.
Timing & Cycle Length
Skin peptide research protocols typically follow these timing considerations:
- Time of day: No strict timing requirements — morning or evening administration are both used
- Cycle length: Skin peptide protocols typically run 8–12 weeks to allow sufficient time for collagen remodeling and visible changes
- Injection site rotation: Rotate between the abdomen, outer thigh, and upper arm to minimize injection site reactions
- Maintenance: Some protocols transition to a reduced frequency (2–3× weekly) after the initial loading phase
Collagen remodeling is a gradual process — new collagen fibers take 4–6 weeks to mature, and improvements in skin texture and firmness accumulate over months of consistent use.
Storage
Follow standard peptide storage guidelines:
- Lyophilized (unreconstituted): Store at -20°C for long-term, or 2–8°C (refrigerator) for several months
- Reconstituted: Refrigerate at 2–8°C. Use within 28 days
- Avoid freeze-thaw cycles with reconstituted solution
- Protect from light and heat
