GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6)

GHRP-6 is a synthetic hexapeptide that mimics the effects of ghrelin, the body’s natural hunger hormone. It binds to the GHS-R (ghrelin receptor), stimulating the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to release growth hormone (GH) in a pulsatile, natural-like rhythm. It also suppresses somatostatin, a GH inhibitor, making GHRP-6 highly effective for increasing lean muscle mass and accelerating recovery.

Benefits

  • Stimulates GH and IGF-1 release for lean muscle growth
  • Promotes lipolysis (fat breakdown)
  • Enhances tissue repair and recovery
  • Increases collagen production for skin, joints, and bones
  • Improves deep sleep and GH secretion overnight
  • Supports immune system regulation
  • Potently increases appetite, helpful for bulking or weight gain

GHRP-2 vs GHRP-6

Similarities:

  • Both mimic ghrelin and stimulate GH secretion
  • Both work in short pulsatile bursts
  • Both effective for muscle growth and recovery

Differences:

  • GHRP-6: Low to moderate appetite stimulation
  • GHRP-2: Strong appetite stimulation
  • GHRP-6 is slightly less potent
  • GHRP-6 = more hunger and water retention
  • GHRP-2 = more fatigue and potential desensitization

Side Effects

  • Injection site irritation (redness, swelling, itching)
  • Water retention and bloating
  • Fatigue
  • Temporary increase in cortisol or prolactin
  • Increased appetite (can be an issue for cutting phases)

Contraindications

  • Do not use if allergic to GHRP-6
  • Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Avoid if you have active cancer
  • Not suitable for those with advanced brain disorders

Can GHRP-6 Be Taken Orally or Sublingually?

No. Like most peptides, GHRP-6 cannot be taken orally due to degradation by stomach enzymes. It must be administered via subcutaneous or intramuscular injection for proper bioavailability.

GHRP-6: 10MG

Mix with 3mL (300 units) of BAC water
Use 0.3mL (30 unit) insulin syringes for accurate microdosing
Subcutaneous administration
Cycle: 6–12 weeks, followed by a 2–4 week washout period

Dosing Guidelines

Anti-Aging / Wellness:

  • 3–6 units = 100–200 mcg per day
  • Once daily or split into two doses

Performance / Muscle Growth:

  • 9–15 units = 300–500 mcg per day, split into 2–3 doses:
    • Morning (upon waking)
    • Post-workout
    • Before bedtime

IMPORTANT:
GHRP-6 should be taken on an empty stomach. Avoid eating at least 30 minutes after injection, as insulin/glucose presence may increase fat gain due to GHRP-6’s lipogenic properties.

Unit Conversion Guide

  • 3 units = 100 mcg
  • 6 units = 200 mcg
  • 9 units = 300 mcg
  • 12 units = 400 mcg
  • 15 units = 500 mcg

Stacking Suggestions

  • CJC-1295 or Mod GRF (1-29) – Enhances the GH pulse and maximizes anabolic effects
  • GHRP-2 – Increases GH response synergistically
  • IGF-1 LR3 – Boosts muscle recovery and hypertrophy
  • Ipamorelin – Adds additional GH stimulation with low side effects
  • Melanotan 2 – Appetite suppressant that helps counteract hunger from GHRP-6
