SNAP-8 Dosage & Reconstitution

Acetyl octapeptide-3. Work out exactly what to draw for your own mix, see the doses used in research, and follow a week-by-week plan. Evidence tier: limited.

1Set Up Your Mix

20 mg/mL · 20000 mcg/mL
All answers assume a standard 1 mL U-100 syringe, where 1 unit = 0.01 mL. That is the usual insulin syringe and the one every number here is based on.

This calculator doesn't work for SNAP-8. Doses for this one are set by body weight, or it comes ready-mixed. Ignore the numbers above — read the notes further down instead.

2Week-By-Week Plan — SNAP-8

not applicable
No week-by-week plan for SNAP-8. This one is dosed by body weight, comes ready-mixed, or only has a single dose reported — so there is nothing to work up through.
