Description

Hexarelin is a synthetic hexapeptide and potent growth hormone secretagogue that acts as a ghrelin receptor agonist. Consisting of 6 amino acids, research has focused on its role in growth hormone release from the pituitary gland, with studies noting it as one of the most potent synthetic growth hormone releasing peptides identified to date. Additional research has examined its cardioprotective properties through ghrelin receptor activation independent of growth hormone secretion. It is supplied in lyophilised form for research purposes.
