Dose: The amount of a substance taken at one time
Example: 500 mcg per injection

Dosage: The overall plan of how a substance is taken, including:

• amount (dose)
• frequency (how often)
• duration (how long)

Example: 500 mcg daily for 4 weeks

Frequency: How often the dose is taken
Examples:

• Once daily
• Twice daily
• Weekly

Cycle: The length of time a compound is used, often followed by a break
Example: 8 weeks on, 4 weeks off

Titration: Gradually increasing or adjusting the dose over time. Used to reduce side effects or find the optimal level

Loading Dose: A higher initial dose is used to reach effects faster. Followed by lower maintenance dosing

Maintenance Dose: The ongoing dose used after the initial phase. Keeps results stable

Microdose: A very small dose, often below standard levels. Used for subtle or gradual effects.

Therapeutic Range: The dose range where effects are beneficial without excessive side effects

Stacking: Using multiple compounds together for combined effects

Reconstitution: Adding liquid (BAC water) to a powder to prepare it for use

Concentration: How much substance is in a given volume
Example: 5 mg/mL

Units (Insulin Syringe): Measurement on a syringe:

• 100 units = 1 mL
• 10 units = 0.1 mL

mg (Milligram): 1/1000 of a gram. Common for peptides and medications

mcg (Microgram): 1/1000 of a milligram
1000 mcg = 1 mg
