The length of time a vial of human growth hormone (HGH) will last depends on several factors, including the dosage, injection frequency, and the size/concentration of the vial. HGH is available in vials ranging from 1.5ml to 10ml, with concentrations typically between 5-10mg per ml.
At a typical dosage of 1-3 IU per day, a 5mg/ml, 10ml vial would provide 50-150 doses and last for 50-150 days. However a 1.5ml vial at the same concentration would only last 15-45 days. The key is the total amount of HGH powder in the vial, not just the volume of liquid. Higher concentrations mean you need to inject less volume to get the desired dosage.
Some of the factors that determine how long a vial will last include:
- Dosage - The prescribed dosage affects duration. A dose of 1-2 IU per day will require more frequent vial replacement compared to a lower 0.5 IU daily dose.
- Injection frequency - Dosing frequency also matters. Splitting the daily dosage into smaller more frequent injections (e.g. twice per day) uses the vial up faster than a single larger daily injection.
- Vial size - The total amount of HGH powder in the vial determines how long it lasts. Larger vials (10ml) last longer than smaller 1.5ml vials when used at the same dosage.
- Concentration - Vials with more mg of HGH per ml of liquid last longer. A 10ml vial of 10mg/ml concentration will last twice as long as a 10ml 5mg/ml vial.
- HGH brand - Different brands may have slightly different concentrations and vial sizes. Be sure to read the label carefully.
- Injection waste - Small amounts of waste per injection will reduce the usable amount in the vial. Using syringes with lower dead space reduces waste.
Proper storage and handling also affects duration. Keeping vials refrigerated and limiting exposure to light and heat preserves HGH integrity and prevents degradation. Rotating two vials can help reduce waste if the dosage doesn't perfectly match up with vial sizes.
Here are some examples of approximately how long different HGH vial sizes and dosages could potentially last:
- 1.5 ml vial at 5mg/ml concentration:
- 0.5 IU daily = 20-30 days
- 1.5 IU daily = 10-15 days
- 10 ml vial at 10mg/ml concentration
- 1 IU daily = 70-100 days
- 2.5 IU daily = 30-40 days
In summary, with typical dosages of 1-3 IU per day, a single 10ml vial of HGH can
last anywhere from 1-3 months, while smaller 1.5ml vials may only last for 2-6 weeks of treatment.
The timing for obtaining refills can be planned around these estimates, but it's important to
closely follow the actual amounts drawn up for each injection to track remaining supply. Proper storage, minimizing waste, and partnering with a reliable high quality hormone clinic like
Harmony Hormone Clinic can help ensure HGH vials provide their full labeled dosage duration. Their experts can advise on optimal vial sizing and dosing for your treatment goals.
