GHRP-6

Meaning

GHRP-6, or Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6, is a synthetic hexapeptide that acts as a potent secretagogue, meaning it stimulates the pituitary gland to release endogenous Growth Hormone (GH). This peptide is classified as a ghrelin mimetic, binding to the ghrelin/Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor (GHSR) to elicit its effect. Clinically, it is investigated for its potential to improve body composition, support tissue repair, and enhance overall vitality through increased pulsatile GH secretion.
