What it is
Kisspeptin is a hypothalamic neuropeptide upstream of GnRH and the HPG axis. It is studied in fertility and reproductive signaling.
Evidence boundary
Investigational with human trial data.

Titration rules
-
50–100 mcg is the conservative start.
-
100–200 mcg is the common practical range in collected notes.
-
Keep the schedule tied to the fertility goal.
-
No universal escalation sequence fits every use case.
-
LH and FSH response
-
Reproductive context and timing
-
Injection-site reactions
-
Do not market this as a libido hack.
Practical rules
- Keep bloodwork in the loop.
- Use a consistent injection pattern.
- Rotate sites.
