About:
A synthetic growth hormone secretagogue used in Japan as a diagnostic agent for growth hormone deficiency.
What does this peptide do?
Backed by human trial data, narrower than the strongest evidence. Research focuses on growth hormone deficiency and diagnostic testing.
Growth hormone deficiency
Used in Japan as a diagnostic agent for GH deficiency.
Diagnostic testing
Given as a provocation test of GH response.
Evidence grade
BHighest evidence grade among the graded claims: B. Grades reflect study strength, not benefit.
What are the benefits and side effects of this peptide
What research says it may help with
- The verified evidence is diagnostic and pharmacological in nature.
- No outcome trials covering body composition, strength or performance were verified here.
Who should avoid it
- People who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Children and adolescents
- People with active or prior cancer, since growth hormone pathways are involved
- Known hypersensitivity to peptide preparations
See the safety section. Absence of a flag is not evidence of safety.
A grade reflects evidence strength, not a recommendation to use this compound; a strong grade can attach to a harmful effect.
