What to expect

Typical timeline

General pattern for the Mitochondrial category. Individual response varies.

  1. Week 1
    Energy floor lifts. Fewer afternoon crashes. Workouts feel less taxing.
  2. Weeks 2–4
    Endurance and recovery both improve. Some users report better glucose control.
  3. Weeks 4–8
    Peak effect. Consider a break so mitochondrial adaptation is preserved, not blunted.

The reconstitution math

  1. 1Reconstitute the 10 mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water. Tilt — don't shake.
  2. 2Concentration becomes 5,000 mcg/mL (5 mg/mL).
  3. 3For a 2.5 mg dose, draw 0.500 mL — that's 50 units on a 1 mL insulin syringe.
  4. 4One vial gives you approximately 4 doses.

Reminder: 100 units on an insulin syringe = 1 mL. Always start at half the listed dose for the first week and rotate injection sites between arms, legs, abdomen, and glutes.
