What Is GHRP-6?

GHRP-6, or Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6, is a synthetic hexapeptide composed of six amino acids.This peptide functions as a secretagogue, a chemical that causes the secretion of another molecule.GHRP-6 stimulates the secretion of growth hormone.

GHRP-6 mimics the effects of the hormone ghrelin, which regulates appetite and influences energy distribution and rate of utilization.When GHRP-6 attaches to ghrelin receptors, it stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete growth hormone.This release of growth hormone, together with the action of ghrelin mimicking, causes a rise in hunger, which can be good for people trying to develop muscle mass.
