Step 1
Reconstitution
Peptide amount in the vial and how much bacteriostatic water you add.
Step 2
Your dose
This guide uses microgram-scale research doses — quick picks are in mcg (100 mcg = 0.1 mg).

Research cycle phases
Units and volumes recompute from your Step 1 concentration (2 mL BAC → 2.50 mg/mL · 25.0 mcg/unit). Doses below are once daily during the course — not weekly.
Standard course
Educational tables commonly use ~100–200 mcg per injection, 1–3 times daily. Saturation is often discussed near ~1 mcg/kg per bolus. Hunger stimulation is more pronounced than with GHRP-2 for many users in community reports.
| Phase | Daily dose | Units | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Days 1–7 (intro) | 100 mcg0.1 mg | 4 u | 0.04 mL100 mcg once daily — gauge hunger response |
| Days 8–42 (standard) | 100 mcg0.1 mg | 4 u | 0.04 mL100 mcg per injection; many write-ups use 2–3×/day |
Alternate / higher courses
Shorter or higher daily courses discussed in research communities — not a clinical recommendation
| Phase | Daily dose | Units | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Higher pulse · 200 mcg | 200 mcg0.2 mg | 8 u | 0.08 mL200 mcg per injection |
| Higher pulse · 300 mcg | 300 mcg0.3 mg | 12 u | 0.12 mLUpper common range — hunger often strong |

~4.2 mg mg total peptide over this 42-day course at 100 mcg → 100 mcg per injection (phase ladder). Each vial holds 5 mg.
Bacteriostatic water
1 × 3 mL bottle
2 mL BAC per vial × 1 vial = 2.0 mL total. Buy as 1× 3 mL bottle or 1× 10 mL bottle (whichever you stock).
U-100 insulin syringes (100-unit)
42+ syringes
About one 100-unit syringe per injection for this schedule. Keep a few spares.
Alcohol swabs & sharps
~86 swabs · 1 sharps container
Wipe vial stopper and injection site each time. Dispose needles in a proper sharps container.
Reconstitution steps
- Allow the lyophilized 5 mg GHRP-6 vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature.
- Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water (default for this guide).
- Inject BAC slowly down the inner wall of the vial — avoid blasting the powder cake.
- Gently swirl or roll until the solution is clear. Do not shake hard (foaming).
- Label with recon date and concentration (e.g. "2.5 mg/mL — 2 mL BAC").
- Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F), protected from light. Prefer using a reconstituted multi-dose vial within ~28 days with sterile technique.
Storage
Lyophilized
Keep dry powder cold and dark when possible (−20 °C / −4 °F preferred for long-term research stock).
Reconstituted
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F). Avoid freeze–thaw of the working solution. Prefer finishing within ~28 days.
- ·Write recon date and BAC volume on the label.
- ·Protect from light during storage.
- ·Discard if cloudy, particulates, or odd odor appear after reconstitution.
Protocol notes
- ·GHRP-6 is a ghrelin-mimetic secretagogue with a strong hunger reputation.
- ·Calculator: 0.1 mg = 100 mcg.
- ·Research use only.
Research context & considerations
GHRP-6 is a classic GH-releasing hexapeptide used in secretagogue research. Research powders are not approved GH therapies.
- ·Marked hunger, water retention, cortisol/prolactin class effects.
- ·GH-axis malignancy and metabolic cautions apply.
- ·Not FDA-approved as a research-vial product.
- ·Pregnancy out of scope.
