How it works

GHRP-6 is a synthetic hexapeptide that acts as a potent growth hormone secretagogue. While extensively studied in clinical research for growth hormone deficiency, it remains unapproved for general use and is primarily utilized in research and performance contexts.

Acts as a ghrelin receptor agonist to stimulate the pituitary gland, triggering a rapid pulse of endogenous growth hormone release.

Safety

Commonly causes intense, sudden hunger shortly after administration
May lead to temporary elevations in cortisol and prolactin levels
Risk of water retention and carpal tunnel-like symptoms at higher doses
