Dosage Protocols
Each row reflects a common research protocol variant. These are reference ranges derived from published literature and community research — not medical guidance.
Protocol 1
Titration Phase (Weeks 1-4)
Dose
0.25mg once weekly
Duration
4 weeks
Starting dose from published trial protocols. Minimizes initial GI adaptation effects.
Protocol 2
Escalation Phase (Weeks 5-8)
Dose
0.5mg once weekly
Duration
4 weeks
Second titration step. Hold here if tolerance is mixed before moving to higher doses.
Protocol 3
Standard Research Protocol
Dose
1.0mg once weekly
Duration
8-16 weeks
Core maintenance research dose. Balances effect and tolerability in most protocols.
Protocol 4
Elevated Research Protocol
Dose
2.0-2.4mg once weekly
Duration
8-16 weeks
High-dose variant used in obesity-specific trials. Reach only after successful titration through lower doses.

Research Considerations
Cautions
- GLP-1 agonists can cause significant GI adaptation — slow titration is essential.
- Monitor hydration, electrolytes, and lean-mass markers throughout research.
- Not suited for mass-gain research phases; caloric reduction is a primary effect.
