Follistatin-344 Dosage Chart & Schedule
A recombinant isoform of follistatin, a natural inhibitor of myostatin, studied for its potential to increase muscle mass. Most human work uses gene therapy rather than the injected protein.
Follistatin-344 has no established human dosing for the injected protein - most human research delivers follistatin by gene therapy instead - so community references (roughly 100 mcg per day across short ~10-30 day cycles) are unvalidated.
Figures describe how Follistatin-344 is reported in the research literature and research-community references — not a recommendation for human use. For laboratory research only.
Dosage protocols
Commonly referenced research tiers. Start conservative; every compound and study context differs.
- Frequency
- Once daily
- Weekly total
- ~700 mcg/week
- Cycle
- Short 10-30 day cycles
No clinical basis; human research uses gene therapy, not the injected protein.
Gene therapy is the real research route
- Most human follistatin work uses AAV gene therapy delivering the gene, not injections of the protein.
- Pharmacokinetics of the injected protein are not well characterized.
What it targets
- Follistatin binds and neutralizes myostatin (GDF-8) and activin.
- That releases a natural brake on muscle growth - the basis for muscle-wasting research.
Ready to run this protocol?
Dosing is only as good as the vial. Research-grade peptides are third-party tested with published COAs from our top-rated source — reconstitute with confidence and skip the guesswork on identity and purity.
Weekly schedule
A typical week on the community reference (unvalidated) protocol (Once daily).
Dosing day Off
From vial to injection in 6 steps
Wipe both vial tops
Swab the peptide vial and the bacteriostatic-water vial with fresh alcohol and let them dry.
Draw the water
Pull the planned amount of bacteriostatic water (2 mL) into the syringe.
Add it slowly
Run the water down the inside wall of the vial — don't blast the powder. Swirl gently; never shake.
Let it dissolve
Wait until the solution is fully clear, then refrigerate the vial.
Draw your dose
Pull the calculated units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Store between uses
Keep the reconstituted vial refrigerated and use within its stable window.
Handling & storage
- A 1 mg vial with 2 mL bacteriostatic water gives 500 mcg/mL, so 100 mcg is about 0.2 mL (20 units).
- Reconstitute gently; glycoproteins are fragile - avoid shaking and store refrigerated.
- Injected-protein dosing is unvalidated; treat any figure as illustrative only.
- Keep lyophilized powder frozen until use.
Follistatin-344 dosing FAQ
Is there an established follistatin-344 injection dose?
No. There is no validated human dose for the injected protein; the ~100 mcg/day community figure has no clinical basis.
Why does most research use gene therapy instead of injections?
Delivering the follistatin gene (via AAV) produces sustained local expression, whereas the injected protein's stability and pharmacokinetics are poorly characterized.
How would ~100 mcg be measured?
From a 1 mg vial in 2 mL water (500 mcg/mL), 100 mcg is 0.2 mL - about 20 units on a U-100 syringe. This is illustration, not a recommendation.
