GHRP-6 Dosage Chart
GHRP-6 is dosed at 100 mcg–300 mcg daily via subcutaneous injection in educational protocols. A 10 mg vial reconstituted with bacteriostatic water yields about 3.33 mg/mL. This information is for research and educational use only.
- Reconstitute: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → ~3.33 mg/mL concentration.
- Typical daily range: 300–900 mcg total (split into 3 doses with gradual titration).
- Easy measuring: At 3.33 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL ≈ 33.3 mcg on a U-100 insulin syringe.
- Storage: Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F) and use within 7 days.
GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide 6) is a synthetic hexapeptide that functions as a potent growth hormone secretagogue by binding to the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). It stimulates pulsatile GH release from the pituitary gland while maintaining physiological feedback controls, resulting in elevated IGF-1 levels and potential anabolic benefits. This educational protocol presents a three-times-daily subcutaneous approach using practical dilution for precise insulin-syringe measurements.

Dosing & Reconstitution Guide
| Week/Phase | Dose per Injection (mcg) | Units (per injection) (mL) |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | 100 mcg | 3 units (0.03 mL) |
| Weeks 3–4 | 200 mcg | 6 units (0.06 mL) |
| Weeks 5–12 | 300 mcg | 9 units (0.09 mL) |
Frequency: Inject three times daily subcutaneously, spaced at least 4 hours apart (morning, midday, bedtime). GHRP-6 has a short half-life of approximately 2.5 hours, making multiple daily injections more effective than once-daily dosing for sustained GH elevation. Each injection should be administered on an empty stomach (2–3 hours after meals, 30 minutes before eating) to maximize GH release.
For ≤10-unit (≤0.10 mL) administrations, consider 30- or 50-unit insulin syringes for improved readability.
Reconstitution Steps
- Draw 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.
- Inject slowly down the vial wall to avoid foaming; do not shake.
- Gently swirl or roll the vial until the powder is completely dissolved.
- Label with date and concentration, then refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F), protected from light.
- Use within 7 days of reconstitution for optimal potency.
