    Follistatin-344 Dosage Guide: Protocols, Calculator & Safety

    Everything you need to know about Follistatin-344 dosing: protocols and safety.

    Dose Range

    50-100 mcg

    Frequency

    Once daily

    Cycle Length

    4-6 weeks per cycle, 4-week washout

    Half-Life

    Short; native follistatin protein is cleared rapidly (minutes to a few hours in vivo). No formal pharmacokinetic data exist for injected Follistatin-344 (FST-344).

    Administration Routes

    Full Tool

    For laboratory research use only. This tool performs reconstitution math (concentration and syringe-unit conversion) and is not dosing guidance for humans or animals.

    Dosing Protocols

    Beginner

    50 mcg subcutaneous once daily for 4 weeks. Assess strength/mass changes at end of cycle.

    Standard

    75-100 mcg subcutaneous once daily for 6 weeks. Combine with progressive resistance training for synergy.

    Advanced

    100 mcg subcutaneous once daily for 6 weeks, with 4-week washout. Some advanced protocols use BID dosing during cutting phases.

    Commonly Stacked With

    Stacks with CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin for GH-driven hypertrophy + myostatin antagonism. Pair with BPC-157 for tendon support during rapid muscle gain. Avoid stacking with Activin-receptor antagonists (additive effects on TGF-beta family).

    Side Effects & Safety

    Limited human safety data. Anecdotal AEs: injection site irritation, mild water retention, transient blood pressure changes. Theoretical concerns: cardiac muscle hypertrophy with prolonged use, off-target inhibition of other TGF-beta family members affecting wound healing or immune function.

    Contraindications

    Active malignancy. Pregnancy and breastfeeding. Cardiomyopathy or left ventricular hypertrophy. Active wound healing or post-surgical recovery (TGF-beta inhibition concerns). Prohibited in sport. The World Anti-Doping Agency 2026 Prohibited List, in force from 1 January 2026, lists myostatin-binding proteins including follistatin under section S4.3, agents preventing activin receptor IIB activation.

    Additional Notes

    Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. A 1mg vial + 1mL BAC water = 1000 mcg/mL. 5 units = 50 mcg on a 100-unit insulin syringe.
