MGF: track every shot, units to draw
IGF-1Ec splice variant released by skeletal muscle in response to mechanical loading; promotes satellite cell activation and muscle hypertrophy. In the Peppy catalog, MGF is reconstituted from a vial and drawn up in units on an insulin syringe, dosed in mcg, typically as needed.

How to track MGF in Peppy
- Open the Protocols tab, tap + and search for MGF (or Mechano Growth Factor). Form, unit and typical frequency are prefilled.
- Enter your vial size, the water you added and your dose. The inline Calculator shows the units to draw and warns if it will not fit a 1 mL syringe.
- Pick a colour and, for injections, a site rotation order. Peppy suggests the next site each time you log.
- On shot day, the Today tab counts down and one tap opens the Log shot sheet with the body map.
- Log a daily check-in (side effects, feelings, weight) and see it lined up against every dose in Progress.
Frequently asked
How many units is 100 mcg of MGF?
It depends on how the vial was mixed. Example: a 2 mg vial plus 2 mL of bacteriostatic water is 1 mg/mL, so 100 mcg is 0.1 mL, or 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Change the water and the units change. Use the calculator above with your own vial, and verify with your prescriber.
Can I track MGF in Peppy?
Yes. MGF is one of 123 compounds built into Peppy, with its form, unit and typical frequency prefilled. Add it as a protocol, set your schedule, and Peppy handles the countdown, the log and the reminders (Pro).
Where should I inject MGF?
Follow your prescriber's instructions. For subcutaneous shots the GLP-1 labels list the abdomen, thigh and upper arm and say to rotate. Peppy's body map has 13 sites, suggests the next one, and shows when each was last used. Read the site rotation guide.
