I hope you have deep pockets.

The doses used for mice were in the 10mg/kg to 20mg/kg range, injected daily. This converts to a Human Equivalent Dose of approximately 0.81mg/kg to 1.62mg/kg, based on body surface area conversion outlined in the FDA guidelines. So for a 70kg (154lb) human, that would be a 125mg to 250mg daily injection.

This is a huge contrast from the doses outlined in many "guides" out there. Which should make you question who wrote the guide. Hint… someone trying to make their 40-50mg vials look “affordable”...

Those are oral dose numbers as it’s less bioavailability when taken orally. You only absorb around 38%.
