Quick answer · Community-reported standard

A 2 mg vial of GHRP-2 reconstituted with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water yields a concentration of 1.00 mg/mL. At that concentration, a 100 mcg dose of GHRP-2 equals 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe (0.100 mL). GHRP-2 is typically administered once daily via subcutaneous.

GHRP-2 2 mg reconstitution and dosage: 1 mL vs 2 mL bac water

For a 2 mg vial of GHRP-2, bacteriostatic water volume is flexible. Less water means higher concentration and smaller injection volumes; more water means lower concentration and easier dose precision. Both options below are valid for a 2 mg vial.

GHRP-2 dosage chart: per-injection to weekly total

Common GHRP-2 protocol doses centered on the 100 mcg baseline (research range 100 mcg–200 mcg), with weekly totals at once daily frequency.

GHRP-2 reconstitution & storage

Lyophilized GHRP-2 reconstituted with sterile water or bacteriostatic water for injection. Direct the water along the side of the vial and gently swirl to dissolve; do not shake vigorously. Solution should be clear and colorless.

Lyophilized powder: Store at -20°C to 4°C protected from light and moisture. Reconstituted solution: Refrigerate at 2-8°C, use within 2-4 weeks with bacteriostatic water or promptly with sterile water.

GHRP-2 dosing FAQ

How much bacteriostatic water should I add to a 2 mg vial of GHRP-2?

The community standard is 1 mL of bacteriostatic water for a 2 mg GHRP-2 vial. That gives a concentration of 1.00 mg/mL, so a 100 mcg dose is 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Adding 1 mL instead doubles the concentration to 2.00 mg/mL and halves the draw to 5 units. Less water = smaller injection volume but harder to measure precisely.

How many syringe units is a 100 mcg dose of GHRP-2?

On a standard U-100 insulin syringe, a 100 mcg dose of GHRP-2 is 10 units when the 2 mg vial is reconstituted with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water (1.00 mg/mL). If you use 1 mL of bac water instead, draw 5 units (2.00 mg/mL).

What is the standard GHRP-2 dose?

Community-reported protocols for GHRP-2 typically use 100 mcg–200 mcg once daily via Subcutaneous. 100 mcg is a common starting dose. Injected on empty stomach; fasting 1-2 hours before and 30-60 minutes after. Most common with GHRH analog.

How long does a vial of GHRP-2 last at 100 mcg once daily?

A 2 mg vial of GHRP-2 contains roughly 20 doses at 100 mcg per injection. At once daily dosing, that is approximately 20 days (about 3 weeks) of supply per vial. Reconstituted GHRP-2 should generally be used within 28 days when refrigerated.

Where do you inject GHRP-2?

GHRP-2 is typically injected subcutaneous. Common sites reported in the literature and by users include: Intravenous (antecubital vein) - diagnostic use, Subcutaneous (abdomen) - research use, Subcutaneous (thigh) - research use. Rotate sites with each injection to reduce localized irritation.

Can I use sterile water instead of bacteriostatic water for GHRP-2?

Bacteriostatic water (containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative) is strongly preferred for multi-dose vials like GHRP-2 because it inhibits microbial growth and lets a single vial be used over multiple weeks. Sterile water has no preservative and should generally be reserved for single-use preparations only.
