Description
Hexarelin is a potent synthetic growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) and hexapeptide analog of GHRP-6. It has been widely studied for its strong ability to stimulate natural GH release through ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) activation. Researchers explore its potential in promoting muscle recovery, fat metabolism, and cardiac tissue repair.
Benefits
- Promotes GH release and IGF-1 elevation.
- Studied for muscle recovery and lean tissue development.
- Explored for improving fat metabolism and body composition.
- Investigated for cardiac protection and repair potential.
- Supports GH-axis balance and restorative sleep.
What researchers look at
- Mechanism: Ghrelin receptor activation (GHS-R1a) and pituitary GH stimulation.
- Comparative potency vs. GHRP-6 and Ipamorelin in preclinical research.
- Studies on cardiac repair, muscle regeneration, and metabolic response.
- Evaluation of desensitization thresholds and receptor feedback effects.
