Reconstitution
Vial Size & Water Guide
| Vial Size | Bacteriostatic Water | Concentration | 1mg Dose → Draw To | 2mg Dose → Draw To |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | Add 2 mL | 0.05 mg per unit | 20 units | 40 units |
Tilt the vial at an angle and inject bacteriostatic water slowly down the side — do not aim the stream directly at the powder. Swirl gently until dissolved. Do not shake. Refrigerate immediately after mixing.

Note: water amounts vary by compound — always follow the reconstitution amounts listed in the table above for Tesamorelin.

How to Inject
Method
SubQ (Subcutaneous)
Into the fat layer just under the skin
Needle Angle
45°
Pinch skin, insert at a shallow angle
Preferred Site
Belly fat
1–2 inches from navel; rotate sides daily
Timing
Before bed, fasted
GH pulses naturally during sleep — injecting before bed aligns with your body's rhythm. Empty stomach is critical.

Your Protocol
Note on dosing: Unlike most peptides, 1mg is both the starting dose and the community sweet spot for Tesamorelin. Most users stay at 1mg for the entire cycle. The 2mg tier is for experienced users who want to push further after establishing tolerance.
Slow & Steady
1 mg
once daily, before bed
Best For
First-time users; great for sleep quality and GH optimization without aggressive fat loss push
Draw Amount
10mg vial → draw to 20 units
Titration
Start at 1mg and stay here — no ramp needed
Most Popular
Suggested
1 mg
once daily, before bed
Best For
Most users — 1mg is the go-to dose for the full cycle. The majority of the community gets their results right here.
Draw Amount
10mg vial → draw to 20 units
Titration
1mg from day one — run for the full 3–6 months
Aggressive but Safe
2 mg
once daily, before bed
✓ Well-tolerated per community experience; titrate up from 1mg first
Best For
Experienced users who want maximum GH stimulation and visceral fat reduction after a full cycle at 1mg
Draw Amount
10mg vial → draw to 40 units
Titration
Wks 1–4: 1mg → Wk 5+: 2mg
Titration Comparison — All 3 Protocols Side by Side
| Week | Slow & Steady | Suggested | Aggressive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–4 | 1 mg | 1 mg | 1 mg |
| Week 5+ | 1 mg | 1 mg | 2 mg |
What to Expect
- Weeks 1–2: Deeper, more restorative sleep. Many users notice improved sleep quality within the first week.
- Weeks 4–8: Visceral fat reduction begins. The deep belly fat — the kind that sits behind the abdominal wall — starts to shift. This is Tesamorelin's signature effect.
- Month 3+: Noticeable body composition improvement. This is a long game compound. The users who commit to a full cycle see the most meaningful changes.
Do
- Inject before bed on an empty stomach — timing is critical
- Be patient — this is a 3–6 month compound
- Pair with a caloric deficit for maximum visceral fat loss
- Refrigerate after reconstitution
Don't
- Expect fast results — Tesamorelin works gradually and rewards consistency
- Inject after a meal — food blunts the GH pulse; always inject fasted
- Use if you have active cancer — GH stimulation is contraindicated
- Shake the vial — swirl gently only

Insulin Syringes (for injection)
Use one fresh syringe per injection. 29–31 gauge ensures minimal discomfort for SubQ use.
Reconstitution Syringe
For mixing only — do NOT use for injection.
Alcohol Swabs
Wipe the vial top and injection site before every use.
