GHRP-6 peptide calculator

A 5 mg GHRP-6 vial mixed with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water holds 2.5 mg/ml. A 100 mcg dose is 0.040 ml — 4 units on a U-100 insulin syringe — and the vial holds 50 doses of that size.

5 mg vial + 2 ml bacteriostatic water, 100 mcg dose:
4units on a U-100 insulin syringe
= 0.040 ml per injection · concentration 2.5 mg/ml · 50 doses per vial

GHRP-6 dosage chart: units to draw

Units on a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 ml) for GHRP-6 doses from 50 mcg to 300 mcg, by how much bacteriostatic water is in a 5 mg vial. The highlighted row is the 100 mcg dose used above.

A 4-unit draw is hard to measure accurately — each tick on a U-100 syringe is 1 or 2 units. Mixing the same vial with 4 ml of water makes the same 100 mcg dose 8 units, which is easier to read. A 0.3 ml insulin syringe (30-unit capacity) with half-unit marks also helps.

Unit math only, not a dosing recommendation. The dose range is what published protocols and trials describe; see the GHRP-6 guide for sources.

How to reconstitute GHRP-6

  1. Wipe both vial stoppers with a fresh alcohol swab and let them dry.
  2. Draw 2 ml of bacteriostatic water into a syringe.
  3. Insert the needle at an angle into the GHRP-6 vial and let the water run slowly down the inner wall — do not inject directly onto the powder.
  4. Do not shake. Gently swirl the vial until the peptide fully dissolves.
  5. Storage for GHRP-6: Lyophilized refrigerated. Reconstituted: refrigerated, use within 28 days. At one 100 mcg dose a day the vial holds 50 doses, more than a 28-day window allows.
  6. For a 100 mcg dose, draw to the 4-unit mark (0.040 ml) on a U-100 insulin syringe.

About GHRP-6

GHRP-6 is a hexapeptide ghrelin-receptor agonist that strongly stimulates growth-hormone release and appetite. It is an older analog than GHRP-2 but still used in research and cardioprotection studies.

Half-life: Approximately 15–60 minutes
Typical dose range: 100–300 mcg per injection, up to 3x daily
Class: Ghrelin-mimetic growth hormone secretagogue
Regulatory status: Not FDA approved. Research use only in the US.

Need a different unit or a different question? The peptide dose converter moves a dose between mcg, mg and IU, and the GHRP-6 half-life chart shows how concentration accumulates across a dosing cadence. Loading GHRP-6 into a reusable 3 ml pen instead of drawing it with a syringe? The peptide pen calculator turns the same vial into mcg per click and clicks to dial. All of them are listed on the free peptide tools page.

GHRP-6 calculator FAQ

Is this a GHRP-6 peptide calculator or a reconstitution calculator?

Both. This GHRP-6 calculator converts vial strength, bacteriostatic-water volume, and target dose into milliliters and insulin-syringe units. It does not recommend a medical dose.

How much bacteriostatic water for a 5 mg GHRP-6 vial?

This page is pre-filled with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water for a 5 mg GHRP-6 vial because that is a common research ratio. You can adjust the water amount in the full calculator.

How many units is a 100 mcg GHRP-6 dose?

4 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, when a 5 mg vial is mixed with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water (2.5 mg/ml). That is 0.040 ml. With a different amount of water the unit count changes — the dose chart on this page lists 1 ml, 2 ml, 3 ml mixes.

How many doses are in a 5 mg GHRP-6 vial?

50 doses of 100 mcg. The number of doses depends only on vial strength and dose size — adding more or less water changes the volume of each draw, not how many draws the vial holds.

Does this GHRP-6 dosage calculator give medical advice?

No. It only performs unit math. Dosing, titration, and whether GHRP-6 is appropriate are clinical decisions that should be made with a licensed healthcare professional.
