GHRP-6 5 mg – Peptide Hubs
GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6) is a synthetic hexapeptide that stimulates the pituitary to secrete natural growth hormone (GH). It also mimics ghrelin, leading to increased appetite and enhanced metabolic responses. The 5 mg lyophilized vial from Peptide Hubs is ideal for researchers investigating GH-related signaling, muscle metabolism, and body composition in preclinical models.
Mechanism of Action
GHRP-6 binds to the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a), causing a potent increase in GH secretion. It also raises IGF-1 levels and enhances appetite. Due to its dual GH-releasing and hunger-stimulating action, it's commonly used in recovery, bulking, and cachexia research. For foundational research on ghrelin-mimetic activity, refer to this NIH study on GHRPs.
Research Applications
- Growth hormone secretion and pituitary function
- Muscle wasting, cachexia, or weight gain models
- Appetite stimulation and metabolic balance
- Recovery and sleep studies
GHRP-6 is often combined with CJC-1295 DAC for longer-lasting GH pulses, or paired with GHK Basic to support tissue remodeling under anabolic stimulation.
