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.
| BAC water added | Concentration | Volume per 100 mcg dose | Draw on U-100 syringe (units) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 2.00 mg/mL | 0.050 mL | 5 units |
| 2 mL | 1.00 mg/mL | 0.100 mL | 10 units |
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.
| Dose level | Per injection | Frequency | Weekly total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower | 0.05 mg | Once daily | 0.35 mg |
| Baseline | 0.1 mg | Once daily | 0.7 mg |
| Higher | 0.15 mg | Once daily | 1.05 mg |
| Upper range | 0.2 mg | Once daily | 1.4 mg |
Weekly totals assume consistent once daily dosing. Adjust the calculator below for your specific vial size and dose.

Weight-based dosing used in research settings; produces dose-dependent GH response
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.
