About:
A synthetic hexapeptide growth hormone secretagogue related to GHRP-6, studied in human endocrine research.
What does this peptide do?
Backed by human trial data, narrower than the strongest evidence. Research focuses on growth hormone release and endocrine.
Growth hormone release
A secretagogue that raises growth hormone in dose-response studies.
Endocrine research
Studied in human endocrine research since the 1990s.
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
- Hexarelin has real human pharmacology from the 1990s: dose-response studies show it raises growth hormone, and reviews describe cardiovascular effects seen in experimental work.
Who should avoid it
- People who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Children and adolescents
- People with cardiovascular disease, since cardiovascular effects were reported in studies
- 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.
How to store this peptide
Typically sold as a lyophilized powder. Reconstituted solutions are perishable, need refrigeration, and require clean handling to avoid contamination.
Lyophilized storage
Store at −20 °C, protected from light.
Reconstituted storage
Keep at 2–8 °C and use within a short period. For longer storage, aliquot and freeze at −20 °C.
Storage Handling
Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Let the vial reach room temperature before opening.
