GHRP-6: a research overview

GHRP-6 is a classic growth-hormone-releasing peptide studied across the secretagogue literature. This overview covers what it is and how it is handled, with no therapeutic or dosing claims.

What it is

GHRP-6 is a synthetic hexapeptide — six amino acids — that acts on the ghrelin / GH-secretagogue receptor. It belongs to the ghrelin-receptor-agonist branch of the secretagogue family, distinct from GHRH analogues.

Why it is studied

GHRP-6 features in preclinical and in-vitro studies of the GH-secretagogue pathway. See our growth-hormone-secretagogues overview for how it relates to the rest of the family.

Handling notes

• Supplied lyophilised; reconstitute gently.
• Keep the dry solid sealed, cold and dark.
• Refrigerate after reconstitution and aliquot for repeated use.

For in-vitro research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
