Description
GHRP-6 (growth hormone releasing peptide – 6) is a
hexapeptide with a chain comprised of 6 amino acids. It is
one of several synthetic met-enkephalin analogs that
include unnatural D-amino acids that were developed for
their growth hormone releasing activity and are
called growth hormone secretagogues. GHRP-6 is a true
HGH secretagogue.
This growth hormone releasing peptide is distinct from
GHRH and do not act at the GHRH receptor, but instead
acts at the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, now
renamed as the ghrelin receptor.
It has strong effect on the release of Human Growth
Hormone (HGH). Dosed at night for anti-aging purposes
and multiple times throughout the day for anabolism. GHRP
is often used in conjunction with GHRH CJC-1295 to
amplify GH pulse. GHRP can be used effectively in the
treatment of GH deficiency. Main use is to promote food
intake by stimulating hunger and aid in energy metabolism.
The major side effect being a significant increase in
appetite due to a stimulating the release of Ghrelin, a
hormone released naturally in the lining of the stomach and
increases hunger and gastric emptying.
Benefits of increased HGH levels through GHRP-6
stimulation include: an increase in strength, muscle mass
and body fat loss, rejuvenation and strengthening of joints,
connective tissue and bone mass. Enhanced HGH
secretion also leads to the liver secreting more IGF-1,
which is thought to be the primary anabolic mechanism of
action for Growth Hormone
