Description
GHRP-6 is a synthetic hexapeptide ghrelin receptor agonist that potently stimulates growth hormone release from the pituitary.
Usage
Used in research to assess GH secretagogue activity, body composition changes, metabolic regulation, and wound healing effects.
Mechanism of Action
Binds to and activates the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR-1a) in the hypothalamus and pituitary, triggering G-protein–coupled signaling and increased pulsatile GH secretion.
Benefits(4)
- Robust pulsatile growth hormone release
- Improved lean muscle mass
- Enhanced fat metabolism
- Potential wound healing and tissue repair support
Side Effects(4)
- Transient increases in cortisol and prolactin
- Increased appetite
- Mild water retention
- Possible injection-site discomfort
