Reconstitution
| Vial | 2 mL water | 3 mL water |
|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 5 mg/mL | 3.33 mg/mL |
- Use bacteriostatic water as the diluent.
- Add the water slowly, letting it run down the inside wall of the vial rather than onto the powder.
- Swirl gently to mix, then leave it to dissolve. Do not shake.
- Give it a few minutes. The finished solution should be clear and colourless.
Protocol
Route: Subcutaneous
Standard protocol (subcutaneous)
- 0.1 mg (100 mcg) per dose, one to three times daily, on an empty stomach (30 minutes before food)
- Expect a strong hunger surge shortly after dosing, more so than GHRP-2
Best paired
- Commonly run with a GHRH like CJC-1295 (No DAC)
- Run 8 to 12 weeks, then a break
- The big appetite boost makes it a favourite for those trying to eat more
Dosing detail
- Common dose is 0.1 mg to 0.3 mg (100 to 300 mcg) per shot, one to three times daily.
- Empty stomach, 30 minutes before eating.
- Strong appetite boost, more pronounced than GHRP-2. Useful if bulking, less so if cutting.
- A brief flush after injecting is normal.
Duration
- Run 8 to 12 weeks, then a break.
Notes
- A ghrelin-mimic GH secretagogue with a strong appetite-boosting effect, more so than GHRP-2.
- Inject subcutaneously and rotate sites.
- A brief flush after injecting is normal.
Storage and handling
- Keep the powdered (lyophilized) vial in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate it for longer-term storage before mixing.
- Once reconstituted and refrigerated at 2–8 °C away from light, use the vial within 90 days.
- Do not freeze a reconstituted vial, and keep it away from heat and sunlight.
- If the solution turns cloudy, develops floating particles, or shows any other sign of degradation, stop using that vial.
