BioHack Track models GDF-11 (Growth Differentiation Factor 11) at a half-life of 2 hours, so every dose you log is decayed against that curve and the app shows what is still circulating — not just what you typed.
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water or PBS per supplier guidance; requires careful handling.
Refrigerate or freeze as directed; highly sensitive to repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Conflicting preclinical data — some studies show benefits, others show cardiac fibrosis or no effect. No human clinical trials to date; safety profile entirely unknown in people.
Track GDF-11 (Growth Differentiation Factor 11) in BioHack Track. Half-life, dose range and route come pre-filled from this library — log a dose and the app counts your vial down, models what is in your system, and puts it on the same chart as your labs and body composition.
These open a search of each database for GDF-11 (Growth Differentiation Factor 11) — they are not citations, and nothing here is evidence for any particular dose. The same links are in the app.
General reference compiled for use inside the app, not medical advice and not a recommendation to take anything. Dose ranges are what is commonly discussed, not a prescription. Talk to a qualified healthcare professional.
