CGRP is the body's most potent vasodilator and the central target behind all modern migraine biologics. Strong preclinical evidence supports cardioprotective and wound healing roles. Exogenous use is IV-only with a 6.9-minute half-life, restricting it to controlled research settings.

CGRP is not a self-administration peptide. This needs to be stated plainly because the peptide shows up in search results alongside injectable peptides that people do use at home. The 6.9-minute half-life means subcutaneous injection produces a brief, unpredictable hemodynamic event with no sustained benefit. Every published human study used IV infusion with continuous blood pressure monitoring. Reconstitution math for research settings: a 0.5 mg (500 mcg) vial reconstituted with 2 mL bacteriostatic water yields 250 mcg/mL. For the standard migraine provocation dose of 1.5 mcg/min over 20 minutes (30 mcg total), you'd need 0.12 mL of that solution diluted into an IV infusion bag. A 1 mg vial with 2 mL gives 500 mcg/mL. The detail most people miss: CGRP adsorbs to glass and plastic surfaces at low concentrations. Below 10 mcg/mL, add 0.1% BSA (bovine serum albumin) as a carrier protein and use siliconized or protein low-bind containers. Skip this step and your actual delivered dose could be noticeably lower than intended.

Disclaimer: This curve is a simplified first-order exponential decay model. Actual pharmacokinetics vary based on injection site, individual metabolism, body composition, and other factors. Half-life values are approximate and based on available preclinical and clinical literature. Many research peptides lack formal human pharmacokinetic studies.
