GHRPs

Meaning

GHRPs, or Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptides, are a class of synthetic secretagogues specifically designed to stimulate the endogenous, pulsatile release of Growth Hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland. These compounds exert their action through the ghrelin receptor, also known as the Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor (GHSR), distinguishing their mechanism from GHRH analogues. Clinical interest in GHRPs centers on their potential to improve body composition by increasing lean mass, enhance tissue repair, and positively influence longevity biomarkers, often as part of advanced hormonal protocols.
