REFERENCE TABLE

Compound Half-Life & Pharmacokinetics Reference

Elimination half-life, time to peak (tMax), steady-state timing, and typical dosing for 25+ peptides, GLP-1 medications, testosterone esters, HRT compounds, and ancillaries. Your go-to PK reference table.

Half-life values are sourced from published pharmacokinetic (PK) studies and FDA prescribing information. Individual drug clearance varies based on injection site, metabolism, body composition, and carrier oil. These are reference estimates, not clinical recommendations.
