GHRP-6
Also known as: Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6 · GHRP6
One of the first synthetic GHRPs developed, GHRP-6 is a potent GH secretagogue that also significantly stimulates appetite through ghrelin receptor activation.
Mechanism of Action
GHRP-6 is a hexapeptide that acts on GHS-R receptors to stimulate GH release from the anterior pituitary. It also acts as a functional analog of ghrelin, significantly increasing appetite.
Amino Acid Sequence (6 AAs)
His-D-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH₂
Benefits
- Potent GH release
- Significant increase in lean muscle mass

- IGF-1 elevation
- Anti-inflammatory properties
Side Effects & Risks
- Strong hunger/appetite increase
- Elevated cortisol and prolactin
- Water retention
- Lethargy
- Potential desensitization

Storage & Reconstitution Guide
Storage Temperature
-20°C lyophilized, 4°C reconstituted
24 months (lyophilized), 28 days (reconstituted)
Reconstitution Solvent
Bacteriostatic water (BAC water)
Swirl gently — do not shake or vortex
Handling Notes
Protect lyophilized peptide from moisture and light. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated. Discard if solution becomes cloudy or discolored. Use insulin syringe for precise dosing.
Step-by-Step Reconstitution
Gather supplies
BAC water, insulin syringe, alcohol swabs, vial
Disinfect tops
Swab rubber stoppers of both vials with alcohol
Draw BAC water
Pull desired mL of BAC water into syringe
Inject slowly
Inject BAC water down the side of the peptide vial, swirl gently to dissolve

Ibutamoren
A non-peptide, orally active growth hormone secretagogue that mimics ghrelin, significantly elevating GH and IGF-1 levels. Unique in being orally bioavailable.
Modified GRF 1-29
A synthetic 29-amino acid GHRH analog with 4 amino acid substitutions that improve stability and receptor affinity compared to Sermorelin. Unlike CJC-1295 DAC, it has no Drug Affinity Complex, giving it a short 30-minute half-life that mimics the body's natural pulsatile GHRH secretion when co-administered with a GHRP.
FST-344
A naturally occurring protein that inhibits myostatin and activin, effectively removing the biological ceiling on muscle growth.
Mechano Growth Factor
A splice variant of IGF-1 released in muscle fibers in response to mechanical damage. Activates muscle satellite cells to initiate repair and hypertrophy.
