Mechanism

Stimulates GnRH neurons and pulsatile LH/FSH release.

Libido support
LH/FSH elevation
Testicular function

Dosing on file unverified

100-500 mcg 3x/week, cycled 4–8 weeks

Reported dose	Volume	Draw
Low — 100 mcg	0.1 mL	10 units
High — 500 mcg	0.5 mL	50 units

What that assumes. Assumes 2 mg in 2 mL (1000 mcg/mL) drawn on a U-100 barrel — the preset on this record, not a recommendation and not the only way to mix it. Change the vial mass, the diluent or the barrel and every number in this table changes. Run your own.

Carried from a source that labels it unverified, and reproduced with that label attached. A record of what is reported, not a recommendation. No citation on this page establishes it.

Reconstitution

Vial	Diluent	Concentration	Typical dose	Draw
2 mg	2 mL	1000 mcg/mL	100 mcg	10 units

mass ÷ diluent = concentration; dose ÷ concentration = volume; volume × the syringe factor = units on the barrel (100 for U-100, 40 for U-40). Run your own numbers.

Identity

Space-filling 3D model of Kisspeptin-10, carbon grey, nitrogen blue, oxygen red — Built from the SMILES on this record — the atoms, bonds and stereochemistry are exact. The shape is **one computed low-energy pose**, not a measured structure: a flexible peptide in solution has no single conformation. The skeletal formula below claims connectivity and nothing more, which is what we actually know.

Classified as

HPG Axispathway: The feedback structure is why a record here may report a change in LH or FSH rather than in testosterone, and why those readings can move in opposite directions on the same page.
Subcutaneousroute: This is the route the reconstitution arithmetic assumes. Mass divided by diluent volume gives concentration, dose divided by concentration gives volume, and volume in mL multiplied by 100 gives units on a U-100 barrel: 5 mg in 2 mL is 2.5 mg/mL, and 0.25 mg comes out at 0.1 mL, which is 10 units.
Intravenousroute: A large share of the pharmacokinetic numbers attached to peptide records, half-life in particular, come from intravenous studies and often from animals. Those numbers describe an intravenous curve and do not transfer unchanged to a depot under the skin.
