Sermorelin dosage guide

Sermorelin dosage reference: typical range 200–500 mcg, 2×/week to daily (5-on/2-off), cycle 3–6 months on, 4–6 weeks off. Titration chart, reconstitution…

A bioidentical growth hormone-releasing hormone that stimulates the pituitary to produce natural GH. Gold standard for anti-aging clinics; promotes natural GH pulsatility.

Published protocol literature for Sermorelin describes a typical range of 200–500 mcg, dosed 2×/week to daily (5-on/2-off), over a cycle of 3–6 months on, 4–6 weeks off. Reported half-life: 10–20 minutes.

Sermorelin titration chart

Protocols are usually titrated rather than started at the top of the range. The tiers below reflect how Sermorelin dosing is commonly stepped in the published protocol literature.

TierDoseFrequencyNotes
Beginner200 mcg2×/weekEntry level; subtle benefits in 4–6 weeks
Intermediate300 mcg3×/week (M/W/F)Noticeable strength and recovery
Advanced300–500 mcgDaily (5-on/2-off)Max benefits; monitor IGF-1 levels

Reconstitution and concentration

Concentration in mcg/mL equals vial milligrams multiplied by 1000, divided by the millilitres of bacteriostatic water added. Volume per dose in mL equals the target dose in mcg divided by that concentration. On a U-100 insulin syringe, multiply the volume in mL by 100 to read the units.

Frequently asked questions

What is a typical Sermorelin dosage?

Published protocol literature for Sermorelin generally describes 200–500 mcg, administered 2×/week to daily (5-on/2-off). Individual protocols vary and should be set by a licensed practitioner.

How often is Sermorelin dosed?

2×/week to daily (5-on/2-off). Frequency is driven by half-life — Sermorelin has a reported half-life of 10–20 minutes, so shorter-acting compounds are dosed more often.

How long is a Sermorelin cycle?

Typical cycle length reported is 3–6 months on, 4–6 weeks off. Cycling exists to limit receptor desensitisation and to create assessment windows, not as a fixed rule.

How do you reconstitute Sermorelin?

2mg → 1ml bacteriostatic water; 5mg → 1ml bacteriostatic water; 10mg → 2ml bacteriostatic water. Concentration in mcg/mL equals vial milligrams times 1000 divided by millilitres of bacteriostatic water.

How is Sermorelin different from CJC-1295?

Both target the GHRH receptor. CJC-1295 is engineered for greater stability and longer action than the parent Sermorelin molecule.
