Reconstitution chart: 5 mg vial
| BAC water added | Concentration | Draw for 100 mcg dose | Draw for 300 mcg dose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 5,000 mcg/mL | 2 units | 6 units |
| 1.5 mL | 3,333 mcg/mL | 3 units | 9 units |
| 2 mL | 2,500 mcg/mL | 4 units | 12 units |
| 2.5 mL | 2,000 mcg/mL | 5 units | 15 units |
Draws are U-100 insulin syringe units (100 units = 1 mL). Formula: dose in mcg ÷ (vial mcg ÷ water mL) × 100. The calculator above handles any other combination.
About GHRP-6
GHRP-6 is a growth hormone releasing peptide closely related to GHRP-2, acting at the same ghrelin receptor to prompt a growth hormone pulse. Its signature feature is a strong, sometimes dramatic, increase in hunger shortly after injection, which some users seek and others find limiting. It is among the earliest compounds in the class, has no regulatory approval, and is often paired with a GHRH analog for a fuller response.
Community protocols typically discuss 100 mcg per injection, one to three times daily, on an empty stomach and frequently before bed to ride the natural nocturnal growth hormone surge. The unit is micrograms. A 5 mg vial holds 5,000 mcg, so at 100 mcg per dose one vial covers fifty injections. As with every secretagogue here, the figures describe community practice with an unapproved compound and are not a recommendation.
Because the doses are small relative to the vial, the water you add is about readability. With 1 mL of BAC water in a 5 mg vial, a 100 mcg dose is only a 2 unit draw; stretch the water to 2.5 mL and it becomes 5 units, far easier to read. The calculator warns on draws under 3 units and on a likely unit mixup, since mg instead of mcg is a 1,000x error. For a blend vial with a GHRH analog, enter the total content and your combined dose. Refrigerate the reconstituted vial.
Quick facts
- Status: no regulatory approval
- A ghrelin-mimicking growth hormone secretagogue known for a strong hunger spike

Stop gambling on where you buy your peptides.
The calculator tells you how much to draw. The Verified Buyer's Manual tells you how to source the peptide itself without getting scammed or shipped underdosed product. Trace any compound back to the lab that made it, read a Certificate of Analysis and catch a fake, grade any seller before you pay, and price it right. A repeatable system, not a list of names that goes stale.
- How to read a lab report (COA) and spot a faked or misattributed one
- Source tracing: find verified sellers yourself from public test data
- The vetting grid: a yes-or-no scorecard for any seller
- Real cost-per-mg math so you never overpay
- Reconstitution, storage, and the first 72 hours after a package lands
