Your weekly GLP-1 guide for appetite control and metabolic support.
Reconstitution (Mixing Your Vial)
Add 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → final concentration ~2.5 mg/mL
On a U-100 insulin syringe: 1 unit ≈ 25 mcg
Use within 28 days, store in the refrigerator (2–8 °C)
Powder vial stores frozen at –20 °C
Weekly Dosing Schedule (Gradual Titration)
Inject once weekly on the same day each week. Slow escalation improves tolerability.
Weeks | Weekly Dose | Syringe Units | Volume |
1–4 | 250 mcg (0.25 mg) | 10 units | 0.10 mL |
5–8 | 500 mcg (0.5 mg) | 20 units | 0.20 mL |
9–12 | 1000 mcg (1.0 mg) | 40 units | 0.40 mL |
13–16 | 1700 mcg (1.7 mg) | 68 units | 0.68 mL |
17+ | 2400 mcg (2.4 mg) | 96 units | 0.96 mL |
Note: A 2.0 mL reconstitution keeps the highest dose under 1.0 mL per injection.
Reconstitution Steps
Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water.
Inject slowly down the vial wall.
Swirl gently (do not shake).
Label your vial with the date.
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C and use within 28 days.

Protocol Overview
A structured once-weekly GLP-1 regimen designed to:
Reduce appetite
Support weight management
Improve metabolic parameters
Minimize side effects through gradual titration
Storage Instructions
Lyophilized powder:
Store at –20 °C
Short-term refrigeration (2–8 °C) is acceptable
Protect from light and moisture
Reconstituted solution:
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C
Do not freeze
Use within 28 days
Allow vial to reach room temperature before opening to reduce condensation
Practical Notes
Use a new sterile insulin syringe for each injection.
Rotate injection sites (abdomen, thigh, upper arm) to prevent irritation.
Inject slowly and wait several seconds before withdrawing the needle.
If you miss a dose, take it within 5 days if possible.
Gastrointestinal symptoms early on are common; titration helps reduce them.
How It Works
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that:
Reduces appetite and cravings
Slows gastric emptying
Improves glucose control
Supports meaningful weight loss (10–15% average in clinical trials)
Its long half-life (~7 days) allows convenient once-weekly dosing.
Potential Benefits
Significant weight reduction
Improved glycemic control
Appetite reduction
Cardiovascular benefits in long-term studies
Once-weekly convenience
Potential Side Effects
Common and usually mild:
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea or constipation
Injection site irritation
Less common but more serious:
Pancreatitis
Gallbladder issues
Kidney concerns
Thyroid tumors observed in rodents (uncertain human relevance)
Lifestyle Support for Best Results
Prioritize adequate protein (1.2–1.6 g/kg).
Include resistance training 2–3 times weekly.
Add 150+ minutes of weekly cardio.
Maintain hydration.
Sleep 7–9 hours per night.
Track progress and consider guidance from a dietitian.
Injection Technique (Subcutaneous)
Clean vial stopper and skin with separate swabs.
Pinch skin; insert needle at 45–90 degrees.
Do not aspirate.
Inject slowly; wait 6 seconds before withdrawing.
Dispose of needles in a sharps container.
