KLOW (GLOW + KPV) Dosing Guide
GLOW with KPV added — dosed the same way, with 10–15 units a day the standard range.
KLOW is GLOW plus KPV, a small anti-inflammatory peptide. The vial is 62.5% GHK-Cu, so — exactly like GLOW — it is dosed to the copper peptide, and the three 10 mg components come along at 12.5% each. Most guides ramp the dose up over the first few weeks rather than starting at the full amount.
At a glance
- Typical dose
- 10–15 units/day at the 3 mL mix ≈ 2.67–4 mg blend = 1.67–2.5 mg GHK-Cu + 333–500 mcg each of BPC-157, TB-500 and KPV
- How often
- Once a day
- Route
- Subcutaneous — abdomen, thigh, upper arm; inject slowly
- Timing
- Morning is the most common
- How long
- 8–12 weeks, then 3–6 weeks off (4 weeks most common)
- Vial size
- 80 mg (50 mg GHK-Cu + 10 mg each BPC-157, TB-500, KPV)
How much
With the vial mixed in 3 mL, the consensus is 10–15 units once a day: 10 units is about 2.67 mg of blend (1.67 mg GHK-Cu plus 333 mcg each of BPC-157, TB-500 and KPV); 15 units is 4 mg (2.5 mg GHK-Cu plus 500 mcg of each). 15 units is the most-cited maintenance figure.
Several guides ramp: 7.5 units (2 mg) for weeks 1–2, 15 units (4 mg) for weeks 3–4, then up to 20–22.5 units (5.3–6 mg) for weeks 5–8 before tapering back to 15. The overall range across sources is 1.5–6 mg of blend a day.
| Step | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | 7.5–10 units (2–2.67 mg blend) | Ramp-in |
| Weeks 3–4 | 15 units (4 mg blend) | Standard dose |
| Weeks 5–8 | 15–22.5 units (4–6 mg blend) | Some guides push higher here |
| Weeks 9–12 | 15 units | Maintenance, then 3–6 weeks off |
How often & when
Once daily is the most-cited schedule. An alternative is five days a week for the first four weeks, then three days a week for maintenance.
Subcutaneous, rotating abdomen, thigh and upper arm; morning most common; inject slowly because of the copper. Some sources note that KPV’s gut effects are mostly an oral-route thing and are largely lost when it is injected.
How long
8–12 weeks on is the most-cited course, followed by 3–6 weeks off (4 weeks most common). Shorter 4–6 week runs with 2–4 weeks off also appear. As with GLOW, the break is about cumulative copper.
Mixing the vial
Doses below are for a standard U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 mL). The formula: units = dose in mg ÷ concentration in mg/mL × 100. Bacteriostatic water is the usual diluent. A standard peptide vial holds about 3 mL of liquid at most — the store’s vials included — so every row below stays at or under 3 mL. Guides elsewhere that call for 4–5 mL will not fit.
| Vial | Water added | Concentration | Doses in units |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 mg blend | 3 mL | 26.7 mg/mL | 1 unit ≈ 267 mcg blend (≈167 mcg GHK-Cu + ≈33 mcg each of the others) · 10 u = 2.67 mg · 15 u = 4 mg · 12 u ≈ 2 mg GHK-Cu + 400 mcg ×3 |
| 80 mg blend | 2 mL | 40 mg/mL | 10 units = 4 mg (2.5 mg GHK-Cu / 500 mcg ×3) |
3 mL is the dominant convention and also the most a standard vial holds. A vial lasts roughly 40 days at 2 mg a day or 20 days at 4 mg a day. If the copper sting bothers you, use the full 3 mL and inject slowly.
How to reconstitute
Not sure how to mix the vial? Our free Reconstitution Calculator walks you through it: enter the vial size, how much bacteriostatic water you're adding and the amount you want per dose, pick your syringe, and it tells you exactly what mark to draw to, the concentration, and how many doses the vial holds — with a syringe diagram and a step-by-step worked example. For a multi-peptide vial like this one, the Blend Reconstitution tool shows how much of each peptide lands in a single draw.
Practical tips
- Blue solution is normal. Refrigerate and use within 14–28 days — a shorter window than single peptides, because four peptides in one solution are less stable.
- Stinging and bruising at the site are common; use the full 3 mL of water and inject slowly.
- The ratio is fixed — dose to the GHK-Cu target, and the other three follow.
- Do not skip the off-weeks; the cycle exists because copper accumulates.
What the evidence looks like
Evidence level
No published study of the four-peptide combination exists. All figures are community convention extrapolated from the individual compounds, which are supported mainly by animal data.
For what the compound is and how it is studied — mechanism, research history and the primary literature — read the reference entries: GHK-Cu, BPC-157, TB-500, KPV.

Common questions
How many units of KLOW per day?
10–15 units once a day with the 80 mg vial mixed in 3 mL; 15 units (about 4 mg of blend) is the most-cited maintenance figure. Many guides start at 7.5–10 units for the first two weeks.
What is the difference between GLOW and KLOW?
KLOW adds 10 mg of KPV to the GLOW formula. Dosing is the same idea — dose to the GHK-Cu — with slightly different per-unit math because the vial is 80 mg instead of 70.
How long does a KLOW vial last?
About 20 days at 15 units a day, or 40 days at 7.5 units, with the 3 mL mix.
