I literally have ChatGPT nothing but instructions. That is what he gave me.
GHRP-6 101 - Everything You Need to Know
1. INTRODUCTION
GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6) is one of the oldest and most studied **growth hormone secretagogues (GHS)**.
It mimics ghrelin – the hunger hormone – binding to the GHS-R1a receptor and stimulating the pituitary to release **pulses of natural GH**.
Unlike exogenous HGH, GHRP-6 does **not shut down** your own GH axis. It instead strengthens the natural rhythm of GH release.
2. MECHANISM OF ACTION
GHRP-6 triggers GH release through two synergistic mechanisms:
3. BENEFITS
4. DOSING PROTOCOLS
5. STORAGE & RECONSTITUTION
6. COMPARISON TO OTHER GHRPs
7. SYNERGY & STACKS
8. SIDE EFFECTS
9. EXPECTATIONS
• Muscle / recovery effects → visible within 2–4 weeks
• Height potential (if plates open) → requires 3–6 months
• Skin & joint quality → noticeable after 6–8 weeks
• Results scale with sleep quality, sunlight exposure, and nutrition
10. CONCLUSION
GHRP-6 is a proven and powerful peptide for:
– maximizing natural GH secretion
– improving sleep, recovery, and collagen output
– potentially assisting growth if plates remain active
It’s cheap, accessible, and effective — yet demands precision and consistency.
If you respect its timing and synergy, GHRP-6 remains one of the best foundational peptides ever created.

GHRP-6 101 - Everything You Need to Know
"The forgotten peptide that still outperforms most modern secretagogues when used right."
1. INTRODUCTION
GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6) is one of the oldest and most studied **growth hormone secretagogues (GHS)**.
It mimics ghrelin – the hunger hormone – binding to the GHS-R1a receptor and stimulating the pituitary to release **pulses of natural GH**.
Unlike exogenous HGH, GHRP-6 does **not shut down** your own GH axis. It instead strengthens the natural rhythm of GH release.
- Type: Hexapeptide (six amino acids)
- Half-life: ~20–30 min
- Route: Subcutaneous injection (abdomen, triceps)
- Goal: Increase GH + IGF-1, improve recovery, appetite, and tissue repair
2. MECHANISM OF ACTION
GHRP-6 triggers GH release through two synergistic mechanisms:
- Ghrelin receptor activation → Hunger ↑, GH pulse ↑, better sleep quality
- Pituitary stimulation → GH ↑ → IGF-1 ↑ → Collagen, bone, and muscle growth
GHRP-6 delivers a stronger GH pulse than Ipamorelin or GHRP-2,
but comes with more hunger and slight prolactin/cortisol elevation potential.
3. BENEFITS
Muscle growth: GH → IGF-1 mediated protein synthesis
Height potential: If plates open, stronger GH pulses can accelerate growth
Appetite boost: Extreme hunger – ideal for bulking
Sleep improvement: Deep delta-wave sleep from GH release
Recovery: Faster tissue and tendon repair
Skin & anti-aging: Collagen production and thickness ↑
4. DOSING PROTOCOLS
Always inject on an empty stomach. No carbs or fats 30 min before or after.
Beginner: 100 mcg × 2 /day (morning + before bed)
Intermediate: 150–200 mcg × 2–3 /day
Stack (with CJC-1295 no DAC):
• 100 mcg GHRP-6 + 100 mcg CJC-1295 (no DAC)
• Inject 2–3× daily (AM / Post-Workout / Pre-Bed)
Intermediate: 150–200 mcg × 2–3 /day
Stack (with CJC-1295 no DAC):
• 100 mcg GHRP-6 + 100 mcg CJC-1295 (no DAC)
• Inject 2–3× daily (AM / Post-Workout / Pre-Bed)
• Do not eat 30 min before or after.
• Temporary water retention / bloating is normal.
• Cycle length: 8–12 weeks typical — longer requires bloodwork.
• Temporary water retention / bloating is normal.
• Cycle length: 8–12 weeks typical — longer requires bloodwork.
5. STORAGE & RECONSTITUTION
- Lyophilized powder vials (2–5 mg)
- Add bacteriostatic water for reconstitution
- Store refrigerated (2–8 °C)
- Use within 20–30 days after mixing
If you add 2 ml Bac Water to a 5 mg vial:
→ Each 0.04 ml (= 4 IU on insulin syringe) = 100 mcg
→ Each 0.04 ml (= 4 IU on insulin syringe) = 100 mcg
6. COMPARISON TO OTHER GHRPs
Peptide | GH Pulse Strength | Appetite | Cortisol/Prolactin |
GHRP-6 | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Mild ↑ |
GHRP-2 | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() ![]() ![]() | Moderate ↑ |
Ipamorelin | ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() | Negligible |
7. SYNERGY & STACKS
- CJC-1295 (no DAC): Synergistic GH amplifier
- MK-677: Oral GHRP-mimetic (constant GH, but receptor desensitization risk)
- Low-dose HGH: Hybrid approach — pulses maintained between injections
- Meclizine (experimental): FGFR3 modulation → possible growth plate support
8. SIDE EFFECTS
- Severe hunger (in most users)
- Mild water retention
- Possible lethargy post-injection
- Small increases in prolactin/cortisol (usually temporary)
These effects are short-lived and typically subside within 1–2 weeks.
9. EXPECTATIONS
• Muscle / recovery effects → visible within 2–4 weeks
• Height potential (if plates open) → requires 3–6 months
• Skin & joint quality → noticeable after 6–8 weeks
• Results scale with sleep quality, sunlight exposure, and nutrition
