GHRP-6 Cycles
GHRP-6 is a peptide hormone that amplifies the release of HGH from the pituitary gland, so it's no surprise that GHRP-6 cycles are generally well suited for weight loss and fat loss.
Unfortunately, there is one aspect of GHRP-6 that tends to make it more suited to cycles that will cause most people to bulk up and gain weight.
That aspect is GHRP-6's ability to induce the most intense appetite stimulation like no other.
It has been proven both clinically and anecdotally that in most users and mammals, GHRP-6 tends to stimulate what can only be described as painful hunger.
As such, GHRP-6 cycles are often said to be best suited for periods of weight gain and bulking.
In other words, GHRP-6 cycles can indeed focus on fat loss, but only if the individual has enough self-discipline and willpower to overcome the urge to consume too many calories.
Through its ability to amplify HGH release, GHRP-6 can result in a definite amount of fat loss during a dieting phase.
However, most users will find GHRP-6 to be more useful for gaining weight, with many users often gaining significant amounts of weight from its hunger inducing effects alone.
The HGH releasing effects of GHRP-6 actually further support muscle growth and strength gains, which are often easily achieved when using GHRP-6 in conjunction with a caloric surplus.
However, it should be clear that diet and training are the key determinants of whether you lose fat or gain muscle with a GHRP-6 cycle.
GHRP-6 can easily promote a calorie surplus or calorie deficit, which can easily lead to results in either direction.
Due to the unique nature of the compound and its actions, it is not possible to subdivide GHRP-6 cycles into the usual three user tiers (beginner cycles, intermediate cycles, and advanced cycles).
As with almost all HGH secretagogues, GHRP-6 cycles can only be basically categorized into three cycle types
- GHRP-6 cycles for muscle growth and fat loss.
- GHRP-6 cycles for fat loss
- GHRP-6 cycles for anti-aging and overall well-being
The factors that determine which of these three cycle types a user participates in or achieves are the user's GHRP-6 dosing regimen and the user's diet and training regimen.
It is important to understand that cycles, like all human growth hormone based compounds, are long-term and must be treated as such.
Synthetic HGH and HGH secretagogues such as GHRP-6 should be used for a period of at least 4-6 months in order to experience noticeable results.
The reason for this is that human growth hormone is essentially a hormone that has a continuous and cumulative effect on the body and its composition.
Various changes and results may occur sooner than others (e.g. fat loss effects, within a few weeks) or much later (e.g. muscle growth and strength gains, within a few months).
A GHRP-6 cycle aimed at both muscle growth and fat loss should be administered at least 100 mcg of GHRP-6 three times a day for four to six months.
For more pronounced and greater muscle growth and fat loss, it is recommended to increase the number of doses to more than 3 times per day (ideally 4-5 injections per day).
These GHRP-6 cycles will ensure a constant HGH pulse that is as close to synthetic HGH administration as possible.
A GHRP-6 cycle that will only produce fat loss in the user is 100 mcg of GHRP-6 administered 2-3 times daily for 4-6 months.
Rarely, small muscle and strength gains can be experienced if nutrition and training accommodate this.
The anti-aging and general health maintenance cycle of GHRP-6 involves one to two daily injections of 100 mcg of GHRP-6.
This minimal GHRP-6 dosing protocol induces a much lower overall release of HGH from the pituitary gland, but is still sufficient to ensure positive health and wellness benefits, especially in the elderly.
GHRP-6 cycles are almost always stacked with a GHRH such as Mod GRF 1-29 (CJC-1295 without DAC), which is intended to maximize HGH output as previously detailed in this profile.
GHRP-6 can also be stacked with anabolic steroids in much the same way as synthetic HGH to provide a synergistic effect on muscle growth and fat loss.
Synthetic HGH itself can be used in combination with HGH secretagogues like GHRP-6, and often they are combined so that you can experience higher overall plasma levels of HGH without having to use as much synthetic HGH.
This is typically accomplished by administering a 4iu dose of exogenous synthetic HGH upon waking in the morning, followed by GHRP-6 in the middle of the day (with another selective HGH dose 30 minutes later), and finally GHRP-6 again just before bedtime.
This protocol of GHRP-6 cycles ensures maximum effectiveness of the HGH, and is much more cost-effective than administering larger doses of synthetic HGH alone.
Another benefit is that it allows the user to maintain pituitary function while using synthetic HGH, which typically shuts down endogenous HGH production through a negative feedback loop.
Using an HGH secretagogue such as GHRP-6 before bed allows the pituitary gland to continue producing endogenous HGH.
