GHRP-6
Key Takeaways: GHRP-6
GHRP-6 is a GHRP peptide primarily researched for:
- Extreme hunger stimulation (Gastro-protective)
- Significant GH release
- Improved fat metabolism
Research Profile
GHRP-6 is a synthetic growth hormone secretagogue that targets the ghrelin receptor, leading to a massive increase in appetite and growth hormone secretion.
Appetite and Digestion
GHRP-6 is unique because of its ability to stimulate the stomach’s ghrelin production. In research models, this leads to an intense hunger pulse, which is useful for treating cachexia or muscle wasting in individuals who cannot consume enough calories to maintain health.
Regenerative Profile
Beyond hunger, GHRP-6 promotes the repair of gastric mucosa and skin tissue. It acts on the pituitary to release pulses of GH that support fat loss and improved muscle recovery, though its intense hunger side effect requires careful management in research protocols.
