GHRP-6
OVERVIEW
• GHRP-6 is the third strongest GHRP (Growth Hormone Releasing
Peptide)
• Stimulates the release of growth hormone & ghrelin (hunger
hormone)
• Weakly and temporarily increases prolactin and cortisol
HOW DOES IT WORK
• GHRP-6 works by inhibiting somatostatin in the hypothalamus
• Somatostatin is the rate-limiting effect that allows the release of
growth hormone
• By inhibiting somatostatin, it allows the body to release growth
hormone
RESEARCH BENEFITS
• Increase the release of endogenous growth hormone.
• Promotes muscle growth
• Helps with mood and stress resilience
• Slows down aging
• Improves sleep
• Increase hunger
• Improves bone density
RESEARCH SIDE EFFECTS
• Redness, itchiness, and swelling of injection sites
• Water retention
• Strongly stimulates ghrelin
• Prolonged use and over-saturation of receptors may increase anxiety
and depression.
• Increases in stress responses through an increase in prolactin, ACTH
and cortisol
INSIGHT ON RESEARCH CYCLING & DOSING
• 100 mcg per injection
• Multiple injections can be given a day to increase GH secretion. Often
used in bodybuilding
• 5 days on, 2 days off, 10-12 weeks on, 4-8 weeks off
• Carbohydrates and fatty acids can blunt growth hormone release.
Best taken 30 minutes before eating and/or 2 hours after eating
