SNAP-8 Dosage Calculator

SNAP-8 is a topical peptide. There is no vial to reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. Instead, you are formulating a serum. The standard source material is Lotioncrafter SNAP-8 Solution C, which contains 0.05% active peptide. When you add this at 10% use rate into your serum base, your finished product contains 0.005% actual SNAP-8 peptide. At 5% use rate, you get 0.0025% active. At 3%, you get 0.0015% active. Most beginners start at 3 to 5% use rate and work up. The manufacturer's efficacy studies used 10% of their solution. Lotioncrafter sells the solution at $18.85 for 8g, $52.75 for 30g, or $83.95 for 60g. The thing most people miss: commercial SNAP-8 products that list the peptide near the bottom of their ingredient list contain negligible concentrations. You cannot judge dose adequacy from the front-of-label marketing claim. Ingredient list position is your only proxy without HPLC testing. Store your finished serum at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius in an airless pump bottle. Heat and UV break down peptide integrity faster than you would expect.
