Ovagen dosage chart
20 mg Vial
Ovagen is dosed at 10 mcg–150 mcg daily via subcutaneous injection in educational protocols. A 20 mg vial reconstituted with bacteriostatic water yields about 10 mg/mL. This information is for research and educational use only.
- Reconstitute
- Add 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 10 mg/mL (10,000 μg/mL) concentration.
- Typical daily range
- 10–150 μg once daily (gradual titration over 16 weeks).
- Easy measuring
- At 10 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL = 100 μg on a U-100 insulin syringe.
- Storage
- Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); avoid freeze–thaw cycles.
- Injection frequency
- Once daily — 5 days on, 2 days off (dose Mon–Fri, rest Sat–Sun).
- Dosing schedule
- 5 days on / 2 days off: dose Monday through Friday, then take Saturday and Sunday off. That is 5 dosing days per week.
Dosing Cycle & Timing
This protocol runs on a 5 days on / 2 days off cycle.
- Cycle: 5 days on, 2 days off — dose Monday through Friday and rest on the weekend.
- 5 dosing days per week; the 2 off days help limit receptor desensitisation and give injection sites time to recover.
- Keep the dose time consistent on dosing days.
- If a weekday dose is missed, take it the same day if possible — do not dose on an off day to catch up.
- Weekly totals in the supplies and shopping lists are calculated on 5 dosing days, not 7.
Supplies needed
Plan covers the full 8-week protocol at the lowest listed starting dose: 0.15 mg per dose, 5 days on / 2 days off (40 administrations in total), using 20 mg vials. After mixing with 2 mL, the concentration is 10 mg/mL and each dose requires 0.02 mL total.
Ovagen vials (20 mg each)
Vials are rounded up only after calculating the whole protocol: ceil(6 ÷ 20) = 1. Usable peptide remaining in an opened vial carries forward to the next dose.
- Full protocol (8 weeks)
- 1 vial (6 mg needed ÷ 20 mg)
Insulin syringes (U-100, 1 mL)
One fresh syringe per administration.
- Full protocol (8 weeks)
- 40 syringes
Bacteriostatic water (10 mL bottles)
Use 2 mL per vial for reconstitution (1 × 2 mL = 2 mL).
- Full protocol (8 weeks)
- 1 × 10 mL bottle
Alcohol swabs
One for the vial stopper per draw + one for each injection site (5 days on / 2 days off). Recommend 1 × 100-count box.
- Full protocol (8 weeks)
- 80 swabs

Ovagen dosage FAQs
How much bacteriostatic water do you use to reconstitute Ovagen?
Add 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 10 mg/mL (10,000 μg/mL) concentration. for a 20 mg Vial vial. Add the water slowly against the inside wall of the vial and swirl — never shake — until the powder fully dissolves.
How often is Ovagen administered in research protocols?
Injection frequency: Once daily — 5 days on, 2 days off (dose Mon–Fri, rest Sat–Sun).
How should reconstituted Ovagen be stored?
Storage: Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); avoid freeze–thaw cycles..
How many insulin syringe units equal a Ovagen dose?
Units depend on the water volume you used. Divide your target dose by the vial concentration to get millilitres, then multiply by 100 — 1 unit on a U-100 insulin syringe is 0.01 mL. The Spartan Peptides reconstitution calculator does this conversion for you.
Is Ovagen approved for human use?
No. Ovagen is sold and referenced strictly as a research chemical. Nothing on this page is medical advice and the material is not for human consumption.
Educational and research information only. Not medical advice, not for human consumption. Values are reference figures — always verify your own math with the reconstitution calculator.
On any insulin syringe, 1 unit = 0.01 mL, so unit counts above hold across brands.
