GHRP-6
Price on application
GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6) is a synthetic hexapeptide that stimulates growth hormone secretion via the ghrelin receptor. It is one of the earliest and most studied GH secretagogues, notable for its pronounced appetite-stimulating effects.
Research Profile
GHRP-6 was one of the first synthetic GH secretagogues developed and remains a cornerstone of growth hormone research. It acts by binding to the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) in the pituitary gland, triggering robust pulsatile GH release while simultaneously suppressing somatostatin. GHRP-6 is particularly noted for its potent orexigenic (appetite-stimulating) effect, which distinguishes it from other members of the GHRP family. In research settings, it has demonstrated capacity to increase lean body mass, enhance recovery, stimulate gastric motility, and modulate immune function. Its appetite-stimulating properties have made it a subject of study in cachexia and anorexia-related research.
