GHRP-6
One of the original synthetic growth hormone secretagogues, GHRP-6 is a hexapeptide that potently stimulates GH release via ghrelin receptor activation. Distinguished by its notable effect on appetite and gastric motility, offering a unique research profile compared to newer GHSs.
Research Use Only. GHRP-6 is sold exclusively for in vitro research and laboratory use by qualified scientists. Not for human consumption, veterinary use, or clinical administration.
