GHRP-6 Dosing Protocol: 5 mg Vial — Full Cycle Dosing Schedule & Supplies
Complete GHRP-6 dosing protocol using the 5 mg vial, covering full 4–12 week GH secretagogue cycles with supplies checklist.
Quickstart highlights
GHRP-6 was among the first synthetic GHRPs studied in humans (Bowers et al., 1984).
Concentration: 2 mg/mL (5 mg vial + 2.5 mL bacteriostatic water).
At 2 mg/mL: 200 μg = 10 units, 300 μg = 15 units per injection.
GHRP-6 causes significant hunger within 30 minutes — the strongest appetite effect among GHRPs.
At 300 μg 3x daily, one 5 mg vial lasts ~5–6 days; plan 15+ vials for a 12-week cycle.
Combine with CJC-1295 No DAC for 2–4x greater GH output.

Protocol overview & cycle notes
Stimulate robust GH secretion and leverage GHRP-6's appetite-stimulating properties using the 5 mg vial for full 4–12 week cycles, particularly suitable for patients seeking concurrent GH-mediated anabolism and appetite enhancement.
Cycle length: 12 weeks on.
Off-cycle: 4–6 weeks off after every 12-week cycle; monitor morning cortisol.
Storage & handling
Injection & tracking tips
Inject immediately before planned meals to leverage GHRP-6's appetite-stimulating effect for caloric intake.
Do not inject GHRP-6 if already full — food at injection time suppresses GH response by up to 50%.
Combine with CJC-1295 No DAC for synergistic GH release; inject both from the same syringe or adjacent sites simultaneously.
Tracking
Logging helps you and your provider spot patterns and adjust dose or timing.
Track appetite and meal caloric intake for the first 4 weeks — GHRP-6 is sometimes used to increase caloric intake in underweight individuals.
Measure IGF-1 at baseline and 6 weeks.
Monitor morning cortisol monthly; GHRP-6 at 300 μg can elevate cortisol by 20–40%.
