GHRP-2 Dosing Guide

What It's Used For

GHRP-2 is a growth hormone-releasing peptide that stimulates natural growth hormone production in the body. It works by binding to ghrelin receptors and triggering pulsatile GH release from the pituitary gland.

1. Muscle Growth and Strength:
   • Increases lean muscle mass and improves strength gains from training.
2. Fat Loss:
   • Enhances fat metabolism and improves body composition.
3. Recovery and Healing:
   • Speeds up recovery from workouts and injuries by boosting GH and IGF-1 levels.
4. Anti-Aging Benefits:
   • Improves skin elasticity, sleep quality, and overall vitality.

How Much to Take

1. Dose: 100-300 mcg per injection.
2. How Often:
   • For best results: 2-3 times daily.
   • For maintenance: Once daily before bed.
3. When to Inject:
   • Morning (upon waking).
   • Post-workout (for recovery).
   • Before bed (to enhance natural GH release during sleep).

How Long to Use It

• Cycle Length: Use for 8-12 weeks, followed by a break of 4 weeks.
• Extended Use: Can extend up to 16 weeks for advanced users.
• Repeat Cycles: Can be cycled multiple times per year with proper breaks.

Need-to-Know Information

1. How It Works:
   • GHRP-2 mimics ghrelin, the "hunger hormone," to stimulate GH release.
   • Creates natural GH pulses rather than constant elevation.
   • Also suppresses somatostatin, which normally inhibits GH production.
2. Key Benefits:
   • Growth Hormone Release: 7-15x increase in natural GH production.
   • IGF-1 Production: Elevated IGF-1 levels for anabolic effects.
   • Appetite Stimulation: Moderate increase in hunger (less than GHRP-6).
   • Sleep Enhancement: Deeper, more restorative sleep.
3. Who Should Avoid It:
   • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
   • Those with active cancer or tumor growth.
   • People with severe insulin resistance or diabetes (consult doctor).
4. Possible Side Effects:
   • Increased appetite (usually moderate).
   • Water retention (mild).
   • Tingling in hands/feet at high doses.
   • Temporary lethargy after injection.

How to Mix and Store It

1. Mixing Instructions:
   • Use bacteriostatic water to reconstitute the peptide.
   • Example: Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg vial. This creates a 2.5 mg/mL concentration.
   • For a 200 mcg dose, draw 0.08 mL into the syringe.
2. Storage:
   • Store mixed vials in the fridge and use within 30 days.
   • Unmixed powder can be stored in freezer for up to 1 year.

How to Inject

1. Injection Method:
   • Where to Inject: Subcutaneous (under the skin) in the stomach area or thigh.
   • Injection Tips: Clean injection site with alcohol swab. Pinch skin, insert needle at 45-degree angle, inject slowly.
2. Important Timing:
   • Inject on empty stomach (no food 60 minutes before/after).
   • Avoid high blood sugar - don't inject after eating carbs.
   • Best absorbed when insulin levels are low.

Example Dosing Schedule

1. Morning: 150 mcg subcutaneously upon waking (empty stomach).
2. Post-Workout: 150 mcg after training (wait 30 minutes before eating).
3. Before Bed: 150 mcg at least 2 hours after last meal.

Extra Tips for Best Results

1. Stack with CJC-1295 (no DAC):
   • Combine 100 mcg GHRP-2 with 100 mcg CJC-1295 for synergistic effect.
   • Can mix both peptides in same syringe.
2. Optimize Natural GH Release:
   • Get 7-9 hours of quality sleep.
   • Keep body fat under 15% for men, 25% for women.
   • Avoid alcohol around injection times.
3. Monitor Your Response:
   • Start with lower dose (100 mcg) to assess tolerance.
   • Increase gradually if needed.
   • Watch for water retention or joint pain.
4. Support Supplements:
   • Take arginine, glutamine, or GABA to enhance GH release.
   • Consider vitamin B6 if experiencing elevated prolactin.
5. Cycle Properly:
   • Don't exceed recommended cycle length to avoid desensitization.
   • Take breaks between cycles to reset receptors.
6. Track Progress:
   • Monitor body composition changes.
   • Note improvements in recovery and sleep quality.
   • Keep injection log for consistency.
