Prostamax
Quick summary
A short-peptide bioregulator studied in prostate tissue models. Research focus: short-peptide bioregulators. This page leads with SRP's low-and-slow starting dose.
Overview
A short-peptide bioregulator studied in prostate tissue models.
Looking for research material? Simple Research Peptides lists Prostamax 20 mg Research Peptide Vial for laboratory research use.
Mechanism
Short bioregulator peptides (2–4 amino acids) are proposed to enter cells, interact with DNA or histones, and adjust tissue-specific gene expression. Most of the evidence comes from cell and animal studies by a small number of research groups.

Storage & reconstitution
Supplied as a freeze-dried (lyophilized) powder in a sealed vial. Unopened vials are generally kept cold and away from light. Labs usually reconstitute it with bacteriostatic or sterile water, letting the liquid run down the vial wall and swirling gently instead of shaking. The solution is then kept refrigerated.
Recommended starting dose (low and slow)
| Starting dose | Low end of the studied range: 500 mcg; 500 mcg. |
|---|---|
| Frequency | Reported schedules: 500mcg-1mg daily. |
| Reconstitution | Examples: 20 mg vial + 2 mL water = 10 mg/mL; 20mg vial + 2mL diluent (as listed). |
Studied higher doses
Studies have used doses up to the amounts below. Higher doses can be dangerous. Whether a person can reach them safely depends on height, weight, activity level, training and pre-existing conditions. We recommend following the lower starting dose above, and contacting SRP with any questions.
| Highest amount reported in studies | Top of the studied range: 1 mg; 1 mg. These are range tops, not verified ceilings. |
