GHRP-6 half-life & how long it lasts
GHRP-6 has a half-life of about 18 minutes, reaches peak concentration around 12 minutes after a dose, and is practically cleared from the body about 2 hours after the last dose. Very short-acting. Human data is limited.
The numbers
| Half-life | 18 minutes |
|---|---|
| Time to peak | 12 minutes |
| Route | injection |
| Typical cadence | daily protocols vary |
| Practically cleared | 2 hours after the last dose (five half-lives, ~97% eliminated) |
| Steady state | after roughly 2 hours of continuous daily protocols vary dosing |
| Evidence | limited human data — directional only |
What that means day to day
- Levels are never zero between doses. On a daily protocols vary schedule with a 18 minutes half-life, each dose stacks on what is left of the last one until steady state.
- Peak is not injection day. Concentration keeps climbing for about 12 minutes after the shot, so effects and side effects lag the dose.
- Stopping is gradual. After the last dose it takes about 2 hours for the compound to be practically gone.
- Read this one loosely. There is no FDA label or full human pharmacokinetic study behind this figure.

Track it instead of estimating it
Bo models this curve from your own logged doses, so you can see what is still in your system right now instead of doing the arithmetic. It also handles reconstitution math, dose reminders and injection-site rotation.
