Peptide P21: Dosing Protocols
P21, a synthetic peptide derived from Cerebrolysin, has gained interest among self-experimenters for its potential cognitive benefits.
01
Intranasal Administration
- Reported intranasal dosing: 100 mcg every few days (microdosing).
02
Subcutaneous Injection
- Reported subcutaneous dosing: 500 mcg per day for a 10-day course.
- One protocol reconstituted a 5 mg vial with 2.5 mL of bacteriostatic water, giving 25 IU daily.
03
Higher Dosages
- 4 mg total daily, split as 2 mg in the morning and 2 mg at bedtime.
- Another report used 3 mg before bed.
04
Dosing Frequency
- Frequency varied among users: daily, every few days, or in cycles.
- One user ran a cycle of about 6 weeks alongside Semax and Selank.
05
Combination with Other Compounds
- Reported cognitive benefits included improved focus and memory retention.
- Users stacked P21 with Semax, Selank, and prescription stimulants.
06
Safety Considerations
Users reported "temporary side effects like drowsiness or mild depression, which they attribute to increased BDNF levels."
P21 is still considered experimental, and long-term effects are not well-established.
