My Peptide Protocol
Thymosin Alpha-1 (TA1)
Cycle 1
- 1.6 mg × 3 days per week for 2 weeks
- 1.6 mg × 1 day per week for an additional 3 months
Printable dosing form: coming soon.
SS-31 (Elamipretide)
After the first 2 weeks of TA1, add SS-31.

NAD+
After 2 weeks of SS-31, optionally add NAD+ up to 3 times per week.
My protocol as an example:
- Week 3 of SS-31: 50 mg NAD+ on days 2 and 4
- Week 4 of SS-31: 75 mg NAD+ on days 1, 3, and 5
- Week 5 of SS-31: 100 mg NAD+ on days 2 and 4
- Week 6 of SS-31: 100 mg NAD+ on days 1, 3, and 5
- Continue similarly as an optional mitochondrial supplement
Tirzepatide
After completing 12 weeks of SS-31, I began tirzepatide for the first time at a microdose level.
- Week 1: 0.25 mg once
- Week 2: 0.25 mg once
- Week 3: 0.5 mg once
- Week 4: 0.25 mg once — I went back down because I was getting heartburn at the Week 3 dose.

Enter the amount in your vial and the volume of bacteriostatic water added to calculate the resulting concentration.
Desired dose
Enter the amount you want to measure. The calculator will convert it to liquid volume and, for a U-100 syringe, syringe units.
Important: This calculator performs concentration and volume arithmetic for informational purposes only. It is not medical advice or a substitute for professional guidance. U-100 unit conversion assumes 100 units = 1 mL and should only be interpreted for a U-100 syringe.
