GHRP-2 (10 mg Vial) Dosage Protocol

GHRP-2 (10 mg Vial) Dosage Protocol

GHRP-2 Dosage Chart

GHRP-2 is dosed at 100 mcg–300 mcg daily via subcutaneous injection in educational protocols. A 10 mg vial reconstituted with bacteriostatic water yields about 3.33 mg/mL. This information is for research and educational use only.

Reconstitute: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → ~3.33 mg/mL concentration.

Typical daily range: 100–300 mcg once daily (gradual titration).

Easy measuring: At 3.33 mg/mL, 1 unit ≈ 33.3 mcg on a U‑100 insulin syringe.

Storage: Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); avoid freeze–thaw cycles.

GHRP-2 (pralmorelin) is a synthetic hexapeptide that potently stimulates growth hormone release by activating ghrelin receptors in the pituitary and hypothalamus[1][2]. It has been used in clinical research as a diagnostic GH stimulant and in investigative treatment protocols for growth hormone deficiency[3]. This educational protocol presents a once‑daily subcutaneous approach using a practical dilution for clear insulin‑syringe measurements.

Research context: For evidence on mechanisms, human and preclinical research, limitations, and safety, read What Is GHRP-2? Mechanism, Benefits, Risks, and Alternatives.

Standard / Gradual Approach (3 mL = ~3.33 mg/mL)

Weeks 1–2

100 mcg (0.1 mg)

3 units (0.03 mL)

Weeks 3–4

150 mcg (0.15 mg)

4.5 units (0.045 mL)

Weeks 5–8

200 mcg (0.2 mg)

6 units (0.06 mL)

Weeks 9–12 (optional)

250–300 mcg (0.25–0.3 mg)

7.5–9 units (0.075–0.09 mL)

Frequency: Inject once daily subcutaneously, typically before sleep to coincide with natural GH pulsatility[4]. For ≤10‑unit (≤0.10 mL) administrations, consider 30‑ or 50‑unit insulin syringes for improved readability.

Reconstitution Steps

Draw 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.

Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid foaming.

Gently swirl/roll until dissolved (do not shake).

Label and refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F), protected from light.

Advanced / Aggressive Approach (Multiple Daily Dosing)

Published human research tested once-daily subcutaneous GHRP-2 over five days and documented response attenuation[4]. Treat the multiple-daily table below as a research calculation model, not as a schedule established by that study.

Phase 1 (Weeks 1–2)

2× daily

Phase 2 (Weeks 3–4)

Phase 3 (Weeks 5–8)

2–3× daily

Note: Total daily doses in the 600–900 mcg range (split across injections) have been studied but may accelerate GH response attenuation[4]. A 5‑days‑on/2‑days‑off cycling pattern may help maintain receptor sensitivity[7].

Supplies Needed

Plan based on an 8–16 week daily protocol with gradual titration (once‑daily schedule).

Peptide Vials (GHRP-2, 10 mg each):

8 weeks ≈ 1 vial (~9.1 mg used)

12 weeks ≈ 2 vials (~15.4 mg used)

16 weeks ≈ 3 vials (~22.4 mg used)

Insulin Syringes (U‑100, 30‑ or 50‑unit recommended for precision):

Per week: 7 syringes (1/day)

8 weeks: 56 syringes

12 weeks: 84 syringes

16 weeks: 112 syringes

Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL bottles): Use 3.0 mL per vial for reconstitution.

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

Alcohol Swabs: One for the vial stopper + one for the injection site each day.

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

Where the Human Evidence Stands — and Why It Does Not Reach Lipogenesis

AOD-9604’s clinical record lives almost entirely in obesity, and understanding it is the fairest way to gauge whether any of the preclinical antilipogenic promise translated to people. The short version: it was tested seriously, in humans, at scale, and it did not deliver on its primary endpoint — and none of the human work measured lipogenesis at all. Across development, AOD-9604 was studied in roughly six human clinical trials enrolling more than 900 participants in total, a tally that derives from the sponsor’s development-program summary rather than a single publication.10 The centerpiece early study, a 12-week Phase 2 evaluation in obese adults (METAOD005) using once-daily oral dosing across several dose arms, was encouraging: the 1 mg arm reportedly lost more weight than placebo, and the results generated optimistic press.10 But the pivotal, longer, more rigorously controlled 24-week study (METAOD006) — a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial that is the single published RCT on the compound — found that the weight-loss difference between AOD-9604 and placebo did not reach statistical significance at the primary endpoint, especially against a background of intensive diet and exercise.10 Development as an obesity drug was terminated in 2007. Two points matter for the antilipogenic question. First, every human study used weight and body-composition endpoints, plus safety and pharmacokinetic measures. None used the tools that actually quantify de novo lipogenesis in people — stable-isotope tracers (for example, deuterated water incorporation into palmitate), adipose or hepatic lipogenic-gene expression, or measured lipogenic flux. So even the human trials that exist are silent on whether AOD-9604 reduces fat synthesis; they measured the downstream outcome (weight), not the mechanism (lipogenesis), and the downstream outcome was not robustly positive. Second, the reassuring endocrine profile held up: the compound was reported not to raise IGF-1 and not to impair glucose tolerance, consistent with the “GH activity modulation” design.1 Trials ~6 studies, >900 participants total10 Pivotal design 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter (METAOD006); oral10 Primary endpoint Weight difference vs placebo did NOT reach statistical significance10 Lipogenesis measured? No — no DNL tracer, lipogenic-gene, or flux endpoints in any human study Endocrine profile No reported IGF-1 rise; no impaired glucose tolerance1 Outcome Obesity development halted in 200710 The honest reading is stark: the compound’s best-evidenced outcome (fat loss in obesity) was itself not robustly demonstrated in humans, and its proposed mechanism (reduced lipogenesis) was never measured in humans at all. Extrapolating from “inhibited ACC in rat fat pads” to “reduces lipogenesis in people” is a leap across species, tissues, and measurement methods, with no human data on the far side. For a measured look at how the clinical results are often characterized, see the site’s summary of what clinical trials indicate about the fat-burning potential of AOD-9604.

How-to reference

How to convert mcg to mg (and back)

Because the factor is exactly 1000, every conversion is a decimal-point move of three places — no calculator strictly required once you see the pattern: mcg → mg: divide by 1000, i.e. move the decimal point three places to the left. 500 mcg → 0.5 mg; 100 mcg → 0.1 mg; 1500 mcg → 1.5 mg. mg → mcg: multiply by 1000, i.e. move the decimal point three places to the right. 0.5 mg → 500 mcg; 2 mg → 2000 mcg; 1.25 mg → 1250 mcg. The tool above does the same move for you and trims trailing zeros, so you can paste in any value — whole or fractional — and read the exact counterpart.

Adamax Dosage Chart

Adamax is dosed at 300 mcg–1 mg daily via subcutaneous injection in educational protocols. A 10 mg vial reconstituted with bacteriostatic water yields about 3.33 mg/mL. This information is for research and educational use only. Reconstitute: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → ~3.33 mg/mL concentration. Typical daily range: 500–1000 µg once daily (gradual titration). Easy measuring: At 3.33 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL ≈ 33.3 µg on a U‑100 insulin syringe. Storage: Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F) and use within 1–2 weeks; avoid freeze–thaw cycles. Adamax is an adamantane‑modified analog of Semax (N‑acetyl Semax Amidate), a heptapeptide derivative of ACTH(4–10) studied for nootropic and neuroprotective properties[1][2]. The adamantane moiety enhances blood–brain barrier penetration and peptide stability, yielding greater potency than standard Semax[3]. This educational protocol presents a once‑daily subcutaneous approach using a practical dilution for clear insulin‑syringe measurements.
