About GHRP-2
GHRP-2 is a synthetic hexapeptide GH secretagogue that stimulates the pituitary gland's ghrelin receptor (GHSR-1a) to trigger a growth hormone pulse. It produces less hunger than GHRP-6, making it versatile for both cutting and lean-bulking phases. Unlike Ipamorelin, GHRP-2 can elevate cortisol and prolactin at higher doses, which is worth monitoring in your logs.
Because GHRP-2 has a half-life of approximately 30 minutes, three injections per day are standard practice to sustain meaningful IGF-1 elevation. Stacking with CJC-1295 (no DAC) amplifies each GH pulse significantly through complementary GHRH receptor activation.
GHRP-2 Dose Reference
| Dose Level | Per Injection | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | 100mcg | 3x/day | Good entry point; minimal cortisol/prolactin impact |
| Moderate | 200mcg | 3x/day | Most common research dose; strong GH pulse |
| High | 300mcg | 3x/day | Increased cortisol/prolactin risk — monitor labs closely |
Inject SQ (subcutaneous), fasted or 2+ hours post-meal. Log each injection time in Shotlee to maintain protocol consistency.
Injection Timing Guide
Morning
Fasted, before breakfast. Wait 30+ minutes to eat after injecting to preserve the GH pulse. Best timed shortly after waking.
Post-Workout / Mid-Day
Post-workout on training days for enhanced recovery signaling. On rest days, inject 2–3 hours after your last meal. Avoid injecting immediately after eating.
Pre-Sleep
30–60 minutes before bed on an empty stomach. Amplifies the natural nocturnal GH pulse during deep sleep — widely regarded as the most impactful injection of the day.
What to Track with GHRP-2
💉 3x Daily Dose Log
Record exact mcg per injection and injection site (abdomen, thigh). Consistency in dosing is key to reliable IGF-1 elevation. Shotlee timestamps each entry automatically.
⏰ Injection Timing
Log fasted status and time of each injection. Meals blunt the GH pulse — tracking the gap between food and injection reveals protocol compliance issues.
🔬 IGF-1 Labs
Enter quarterly IGF-1 blood test results to confirm the protocol is working. GHRP-2 typically raises IGF-1 by 20–50% from baseline. Shotlee graphs trends over time.
📊 Stack Log (CJC-1295)
If combining with CJC-1295, log both peptides together per injection. Stacking significantly amplifies the GH pulse — track both to understand the full picture.
😴 Sleep Quality
Rate sleep quality after the pre-sleep injection. GH pulse quality during the night directly influences recovery, body composition, and mood — a key proxy for protocol effectiveness.
⚠️ Cortisol Symptom Flag
At 300mcg+ per injection, GHRP-2 can elevate cortisol. Note any anxiety, difficulty sleeping, or elevated morning resting heart rate — early signals to adjust dose.
FAQ
Why does GHRP-2 require 3 injections per day?
GHRP-2 has a short half-life of approximately 30 minutes. A single injection triggers a GH pulse that decays quickly. Three daily injections — morning, mid-day, and pre-sleep — are needed to sustain elevated IGF-1 and meaningful GH effects throughout the day. Shotlee makes logging all three injections simple with time-stamped entries.
Can I track GHRP-2 stacked with CJC-1295 in Shotlee?
Yes. Shotlee supports logging multiple peptides per injection session. You can record your GHRP-2 dose and CJC-1295 dose together, track the timing, and review your full stack history over weeks and months.
What should I track when using GHRP-2?
Key metrics to track include: dose per injection (mcg), injection time and fasted status, sleep quality and energy levels as GH pulse indicators, IGF-1 lab values (quarterly), any cortisol-related symptoms at higher doses, and hunger level if you are comparing to GHRP-6.
