GHRP-6 Dosage Chart & Schedule
An early growth-hormone-releasing hexapeptide notable in research for a pronounced appetite-stimulating (hunger) effect alongside GH release.
Research references commonly cite ~100-300 mcg per dose, 1-3x daily; marked appetite stimulation is its signature research effect. A reported convention, not established for general human use.
Figures describe how GHRP-6 is reported in the research literature and research-community references — not a recommendation for human use. For laboratory research only.
Dosage protocols
Commonly referenced research tiers. Start conservative; every compound and study context differs.
- Frequency
- 1-2x daily
- Weekly total
- 0.7-1.4 mg
- Cycle
- 8-12 weeks, then reassess
A conservative entry near the referenced ~1 mcg/kg saturation dose; strong hunger is expected as a research effect.
- Frequency
- 2-3x daily
- Weekly total
- 2.8-6.3 mg
- Cycle
- 8-12 weeks, then reassess
The most commonly referenced range, often paired with a GHRH analog and timed away from meals due to the hunger effect.
Strong appetite stimulation
- GHRP-6 is distinguished by a pronounced hunger effect via ghrelin-receptor activation, which is why it is frequently referenced in feeding and metabolism research.
- Doses are often timed away from meals in research protocols.
Saturation dose concept
- As with other GHRPs, a ~1 mcg/kg saturation dose is referenced, above which added peptide gives diminishing GH release.
- Higher exposure can modestly raise cortisol and prolactin.

Dosing is only as good as the vial. GHRP-6 is third-party tested with published COAs from our top-rated source — reconstitute with confidence and skip the guesswork on identity and purity.
Weekly schedule
A typical week on the standard protocol (2-3x daily).
Dosing day Off
GHRP-6 reconstitution
Based on a standard 10 mg vial: with 2 mL bacteriostatic water = 5,000 mcg/mL (5 mg/mL); 1 unit ≈ 50 mcg.
From vial to injection in 6 steps
Wipe both vial tops
Swab the peptide vial and the bacteriostatic-water vial with fresh alcohol and let them dry.
Draw the water
Pull the planned amount of bacteriostatic water (2 mL) into the syringe.
Add it slowly
Run the water down the inside wall of the vial — don't blast the powder. Swirl gently; never shake.
Let it dissolve
Wait until the solution is fully clear, then refrigerate the vial.
Draw your dose
Pull the calculated units on a U-100 insulin syringe (~4 units for 200 mcg).
Store between uses
Keep the reconstituted vial refrigerated and use within its stable window.
Handling & storage
- Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water (2 mL into a 10 mg vial = 5000 mcg/mL)
- Refrigerate reconstituted; keep the lyophilized powder cool and dark
- A 200 mcg dose draws to ~4 units on a U-100 insulin syringe
GHRP-6 dosing FAQ
How much GHRP-6 per dose?
Research references commonly cite ~100-300 mcg per dose, 1-3x daily. Not established for general human use.
How is GHRP-6 reconstituted?
With bacteriostatic water. For example, 2 mL into a 10 mg vial = 5000 mcg/mL, so a 200 mcg dose is about 4 units on a U-100 syringe.
Why does GHRP-6 cause hunger?
It strongly activates the ghrelin (hunger) receptor; marked appetite stimulation is its most-noted research effect, so doses are often timed away from meals.
How is GHRP-6 different from GHRP-2?
Both are ghrelin-receptor GHRPs; GHRP-6 is noted for stronger appetite stimulation, while GHRP-2 is somewhat more potent for GH release per dose.
