Kisspeptin-10
🔬 Overview
Kisspeptin-10 is a 10 amino acid fragment of the kisspeptin protein, studied for its role at the top of the reproductive hormone axis. It stimulates the release of GnRH, which in turn drives LH and FSH, making it a research tool for probing hormonal signalling.
It has a very short half-life, so research often uses bolus dosing.
💉 Research-Reported Dosing
| Protocol | Dose | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Research bolus | ~1 mcg/kg | Single dose | Common research approach |
| Fixed research | 50-100 mcg | Per administration | Varies by protocol |
| Frequency | Bolus or short infusion | As studied | Very short half-life |

⚗️ Reconstitution & Solubility
- Bring vial and bacteriostatic water to room temperature
- Swab stoppers and let dry
- Add bacteriostatic water gently down the vial wall
- Swirl until dissolved and clear
- Refrigerate at 2 to 8 C after reconstitution
📍 Administration
Studied by subcutaneous injection or short infusion, often as a bolus because of the very short half-life. Convert amounts with the calculator.
📚 Research Notes
Kisspeptin-10 has appeared in human research examining the reproductive axis, LH pulses, and fertility signalling. It is a research tool rather than an approved therapy.
⚠️ Safety & Disclaimer
Kisspeptin-10 is a research compound that acts on the hormonal axis and is not approved for human use. This is not medical advice. Handle as a research chemical only.
