Hexarelin
Price on application
Hexarelin is a synthetic hexapeptide growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) that possesses potent GH-releasing activity. It is highly valued in clinical research for its metabolic stability and its secondary effects on cardiovascular function through the activation of the CD36 receptor.
Research Profile
Hexarelin is a powerful analog of GHRP-6, designed for enhanced stability and more consistent growth hormone release. Unlike other secretagogues, Hexarelin does not significantly increase appetite because it has a lower affinity for the ghrelin receptors that trigger hunger, despite being a potent GHS-R1a agonist. In addition to its endocrine functions, Hexarelin has been widely studied for its ability to protect cardiac tissue. Research suggests it may help mitigate fibrosis and improve myocardial function following ischemic events. Its resistance to gastric and systemic enzymes makes it a robust tool for long-term physiological studies.
