Optimal HGH Dosage for Value and Results

If you're using human growth hormone (HGH) for wellness, recovery, or body composition—and you want results without burning through your supply too fast—this guide is for you.

Let’s talk about how to get the most value out of a 5 mg HGH vial (15 IU) without compromising impact.

Step 1: Know Your Numbers

• 5 mg of HGH = 15 IU (standard: 1 mg = 3 IU)

• At higher doses (2–3 IU/day), that vial’s gone in 5–7 days

But there’s a smarter way.

Step 2: Dr. Rucker’s Optimal Protocol

This approach balances clinical benefit, low side effect risk, and cost efficiency:

• Dose: 0.5 IU per day

• Schedule: 5 days per week

• Weekly total: 2.5 IU

• Monthly use: ~10 IU

Result? Your 15 IU vial lasts the full month—with a 5 IU buffer for adjustments.

Step 3: Easy Mixing and Measuring

• Reconstitute with 1.5 mL of bacteriostatic water

• After mixing: 0.05 mL = 0.5 IU

• That’s 5 units on a 1 mL insulin syringe

Simple, precise, and repeatable.

What You Can Expect

This isn’t a high-dose muscle-building protocol—but it delivers meaningful benefits:

• Better sleep

• Smoother skin

• Mild fat loss

• Faster post-training recovery

• Improved cognitive clarity

All with minimal side effect risk.

You don’t need to max out your dose to get good results. Consistency wins.

Start here. Track how you feel. Check labs over time. And if your goals evolve, you can always scale up.

This is about precision, not excess.
