Quickstart Highlights

Prostamax is a synthetic tetrapeptide bioregulator (Lys-Glu-Asp-Pro / KEDP) derived from prostate tissue peptide complex research. Short peptides of this class have been studied for their ability to modulate gene expression through epigenetic interactions with chromatin and histones. This educational protocol presents a once‑daily intramuscular approach using a practical dilution for clear insulin‑syringe measurements.

  • Reconstitute: Add 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 10 mg/mL concentration.
  • Typical daily range: 500 mcg–1 mg once daily (intramuscular) for a 20-day course (0.5 mg for Days 1–5, then 1 mg); repeat 2–3 times per year.
  • Easy measuring: At 10 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL = 100 mcg (0.1 mg) on a U‑100 insulin syringe.
  • Storage: Lyophilized: refrigerate at 4 °C (39.2 °F) short‑term or freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F) long‑term; after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F) and use within 2 weeks.

 Dosing & Reconstitution Guide

Standard / 20-Day Course (2 mL = 10 mg/mL)

Route: Intramuscular (IM) injection once daily for the course.

Day Daily Dose (mcg / mg) Units (per injection) (mL) V1 nominal setting (units)
Days 1–5 500 mcg (0.5 mg) 5 units (0.05 mL) 5 units
Days 6–20 1,000 mcg (1 mg) 10 units (0.10 mL) 10 units

Frequency: Inject once daily intramuscularly for the length of the course (20 days standard, 10 days minimum), then stop. Repeat the course two to three times per year with at least 3 months between courses; bioregulator peptides are not run continuously, and the interval between courses is part of the protocol. Measurement feasibility depends on the actual device and its markings. For ≤10-unit (≤0.10 mL) administrations, consider 30- or 50-unit insulin syringes for improved readability. Preclinical studies used daily IM administration for 15–60 days.

Reconstitution Steps

  1. Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.
  2. Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid foaming.
  3. Gently swirl/roll until dissolved (do not shake).
  4. Label and refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F), protected from light; use within 2 weeks.

Supplies Needed

Plan based on one 20-day course (one daily injection). Multiply by the number of courses per year (two to three).

  • Peptide vials (Prostamax, 20 mg each): One 20-day course uses about 17.5 mg → 2 vials per course. Reconstituted solution is used within 2 weeks, so reconstitute the second vial on Day 11.
  • Insulin Syringes (U-100):
    • Per course: 20 syringes (1/day)
    • Two courses per year: 40 syringes
    • Three courses per year: 60 syringes
  • Bacteriostatic water (30 mL bottles): Use 2.0 mL per vial. One 30 mL bottle covers a course; discard the bottle 28 days after opening, so plan one bottle per course.
  • Alcohol Swabs: One for the vial stopper + one for the injection site each day.
    • Per course: 40 swabs
    • One 100-count box covers two courses

Protocol Overview

Concise summary of the 20-day course regimen.

  • Goal: Support prostate tissue health and function through bioregulatory peptide signaling.
  • Schedule: One daily intramuscular injection for a 20-day course (10 days minimum); repeat two to three times per year with at least 3 months between courses.
  • Dose Range: 0.5–1 mg daily (IM); 0.5 mg for Days 1–5, then 1 mg.
  • Reconstitution: 2.0 mL per 20 mg vial (10 mg/mL) for accurate unit measurements.
  • Storage: Lyophilized refrigerated or frozen; reconstituted refrigerated; use within 2 weeks.

Dosing Protocol

Suggested 20-day course (Khavinson-style bioregulator schedule).

  • Start: 500 mcg (0.5 mg) daily for Days 1–5 to assess tolerance.
  • Target: 1 mg daily from Day 6 through Day 20.
  • Frequency: Once per day (intramuscular).
  • Course Length: 20 days standard (10 days minimum); 2–3 courses per year with at least 3 months between courses. Do not extend continuously.
  • Timing: Any consistent time; rotate injection sites among large muscle groups.

Storage Instructions

Proper storage preserves peptide quality.

  • Lyophilized (short‑term): Refrigerate at 4 °C (39.2 °F) in dry, dark conditions.
  • Lyophilized (long‑term): Store at −20 °C (−4 °F) for extended stability.
  • Reconstituted: Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); use within ~2 weeks and avoid freeze–thaw cycles.
  • Allow vials to reach room temperature before opening to reduce condensation uptake.

Important Notes

Practical considerations for consistency and safety.

  • Use new sterile insulin syringes or appropriate IM syringes; dispose in a sharps container.
  • Rotate injection sites among large muscle groups (deltoid, vastus lateralis, gluteus) to reduce local irritation.
  • Inject slowly; wait a few seconds before withdrawing the needle.
  • For volumes ≤10 units, use 30‑ or 50‑unit syringes for better precision.
  • Document daily dose and site rotation to maintain consistency.

How This Works

Prostamax (KEDP) belongs to the class of short bioregulatory peptides studied by Khavinson and colleagues. These tetrapeptides are proposed to modulate gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms, interacting with chromatin structure and histone proteins. In aged human lymphocytes, KEDP has been observed to cause pericentromeric chromatin decondensation, potentially reactivating suppressed genes. Preclinical rat models of prostatitis showed that IM administration of KEDP reduced inflammatory markers and helped prevent fibrotic changes in prostate tissue.

Potential Benefits & Side Effects

Observations from preclinical literature (no published human trials).

  • In rat prostatitis models, IM KEDP administration reduced inflammation and supported tissue normalization over treatment periods of 15–60 days.
  • Studies in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) models showed favorable effects on prostate weight and histological parameters.
  • Short bioregulatory peptides of this class generally show favorable tolerability profiles in preclinical work.
  • Potential for mild injection‑site reactions (redness, tenderness) as with any IM administration; rotate sites to minimize.
  • Note: Human clinical trial data are not yet published; dosing is extrapolated from animal models.

Lifestyle Factors

Complementary strategies for prostate health.

  • Maintain a balanced diet rich in vegetables, healthy fats, and adequate protein.
  • Regular physical activity supports circulation and overall metabolic health.
  • Adequate hydration and limiting alcohol/caffeine may support urinary function.
  • Prioritize sleep and stress management to support immune and hormonal balance.

Injection Technique

Intramuscular administration guidance from clinical best‑practice resources.

  • Clean the vial stopper and skin with alcohol; allow to dry completely.
  • For IM injection, use a 22–25 gauge, 1–1.5 inch needle inserted at 90° into a large muscle (deltoid, vastus lateralis, or gluteus).
  • Aspiration before IM injection is no longer routinely recommended for most sites.
  • Inject slowly and steadily; wait briefly before withdrawing.
  • Rotate sites systematically to avoid muscle irritation or fibrosis.
  • Alternative (SC): If subcutaneous route is preferred, use a 23–25 gauge, 5/8 inch needle at 45° into fatty tissue.
