GHRP-6
Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 6
Also: SKF-110679
§ Overview
One of the original growth hormone secretagogues. GHRP-6 stimulates the pituitary to release growth hormone through the ghrelin receptor. It's potent but less selective than newer alternatives like Ipamorelin, notably causing significant hunger spikes due to ghrelin pathway activation.
§ Mechanism
Agonist of the ghrelin/GHSR receptor. Stimulates GH release from the pituitary, increases appetite via hypothalamic ghrelin signaling, and mildly raises cortisol and prolactin levels. Produces a strong GH pulse when combined with GHRH analogues.
§ Common Uses
- → Growth hormone release
- → Appetite stimulation
- → Muscle growth
- → Fat loss
- → Recovery
§ Reported Side Effects
- · Intense hunger
- · Water retention
- · Cortisol increase
- · Tingling/numbness
- · Prolactin elevation
