  • GHRP-6 and Hexarelin are both hexapeptide GH-releasing peptides that act on the ghrelin/GHS receptor with roughly 2-hour half-lives. GHRP-6 is best known for strong appetite stimulation and gastroprotective effects. Hexarelin produces more potent GH release and has documented cardioprotective effects independent of GH via the CD36 receptor, but tends to carry a stronger cortisol/prolactin response. Neither is FDA-approved.
