Common use ranges
From user guides and clinic write-ups. No drug label exists, and no study has tested these amounts in people. No drug label. Guides disagree, from 100 mcg to 1 mg a day. No study has tested these amounts in people.
Sources disagree, or there are very few. The amounts below come from a small number of guides, and they do not line up well. Treat every number on this page as uncertain, and check each source yourself.
- Half-life
- Not measured in any published study
- How it is taken
- subcutaneous injection
- How long people use it
- 4 to 8 weeks on, then 2 to 4 weeks off.
- Mixing used for the units
- 5 mg vial + 2 mL water. 1 unit on a U-100 insulin syringe = 25 mcg.
Pick your vial size and how much water you add. The units below change to match.
5 mg vial + 2 mL water: 1 unit = 25 mcg

See the science: 6 published studies
No human dose data. No published human study of HGH Fragment 176-191 states an amount given. Every figure on this page comes from animal studies.
Amounts given to animals in studies
Read this first. Company trials in people did happen, up to 54 mg swallowed, but they are published outside PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov, so no human row is listed here. No study row states an injected amount in people. Company trials in people exist but were not published on PubMed and have no trial registry number, so no human study can be linked here.
Every study used for this page
Proof grade: Animal studies only. No human dose data has been published. Amounts are quoted as each study reported them. Where the abstract does not state an amount, the row says so.

How to read the study numbers
- One study, one group. Each figure is what one team chose for its own participants or animals.
- Route matters. An amount given into a vein (IV) is not the same as the same amount under the skin, in the nose or by mouth.
- Animals are not small people. An animal amount is shown as the study gave it. It is not a human amount.
- Short studies. Many studies ran days or weeks. They do not show what happens over longer use.
Common questions
Is there a human dose for HGH Fragment 176-191?
No published human study of HGH Fragment 176-191 states an amount given. The figures on this page come from animal studies only.
Where do these HGH Fragment 176-191 numbers come from?
From 6 published studies, each linked to its PubMed or ClinicalTrials.gov record. Every figure was checked against the study abstract or its open full text. Proof grade: Animal studies only.
How long does HGH Fragment 176-191 stay in the body?
No published study has measured the half-life of HGH Fragment 176-191, so nobody knows exactly how long one dose stays in the blood.
Is this a recommendation for how much HGH Fragment 176-191 to use?
No. This page shows the amounts reported by drug labels, clinics and users, next to what researchers gave in studies. It is not medical advice and not a recommendation for anyone. Talk to a licensed clinician before using any of it.
