GHRP-2 (10 mg Vial) Dosage Protocol
Quickstart Highlights
GHRP-2 dosage protocols leverage this potent synthetic hexapeptide (pralmorelin) that stimulates growth hormone (GH) release by acting as a ghrelin receptor agonist in the pituitary and hypothalamus[1][2]. Researchers and clinicians have explored GHRP-2 as a diagnostic GH stimulant and investigated its potential for supporting healthy GH secretion patterns, lean body composition, recovery, and sleep quality[3][4]. This educational protocol presents a once‑daily subcutaneous approach using a practical dilution for clear insulin‑syringe measurements.
Dosing & Reconstitution Guide
Educational guide for reconstitution and daily dosing
Standard / Gradual Approach (3 mL = ~3.33 mg/mL)
| Week | Daily Dose (mcg) | Units (per injection) (mL) |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | 100 mcg | 3 units (0.03 mL) |
| Weeks 3–4 | 150 mcg | 4.5 units (0.045 mL) |
| Weeks 5–8 | 200 mcg | 6 units (0.06 mL) |
| Weeks 9–12 | 250–300 mcg | 7.5–9 units (0.075–0.09 mL) |
Frequency: Inject once daily subcutaneously at bedtime on an empty stomach (at least 2–3 hours after the last meal) to maximize the GH pulse[5]. For ≤10‑unit (≤0.10 mL) administrations, consider 30‑ or 50‑unit insulin syringes for improved readability.
Reconstitution Steps
Advanced / Multiple Daily Dosing (Experienced Research Use Only)
In research settings exploring enhanced GH release, protocols have used 2–3 injections per day[4]. Be aware that chronic high-frequency stimulation can lead to receptor desensitization (tachyphylaxis)[9][10].
| Phase | Dose per Injection (mcg) | Frequency | Units (per injection) (mL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 (Weeks 1–2) | 100 mcg | Twice daily | 3 units (0.03 mL) |
| Phase 2 (Weeks 3–4) | 150 mcg | Twice daily | 4.5 units (0.045 mL) |
| Phase 3 (Weeks 5–8) | 200 mcg | 2–3× daily | 6 units (0.06 mL) |
A “5 days on / 2 days off” cycle is often suggested to help restore receptor sensitivity[9]. Even with breaks, be mindful that chronic stimulation can attenuate the GH response over time.

Supplies Needed
Plan based on an 8–12 week daily protocol with gradual titration (once‑daily regimen).
- 8 weeks ≈ 1 vial (~9.1 mg total usage)
- 12 weeks ≈ 2 vials (~15–16 mg total)
- 16 weeks ≈ 3 vials (~22–23 mg total)
- Per week: 7 syringes (1/day)
- 8 weeks: 56 syringes
- 12 weeks: 84 syringes
- 16 weeks: 112 syringes
- 8 weeks (1 vial): 3 mL → 1 × 10 mL bottle
- 12 weeks (2 vials): 6 mL → 1 × 10 mL bottle
- 16 weeks (3 vials): 9 mL → 1 × 10 mL bottle
- Per week: 14 swabs (2/day)
- 8 weeks: 112 swabs → recommend 2 × 100‑count boxes
- 12 weeks: 168 swabs → recommend 2 × 100‑count boxes
- 16 weeks: 224 swabs → recommend 3 × 100‑count boxes
