GHRP-6 is the original synthetic hexapeptide ghrelin-receptor agonist and the compound from which GHRP-2, hexarelin and ipamorelin were derived. It raises growth hormone in humans, but does so alongside consistent ACTH and cortisol release and a pronounced appetite effect, and no trial has tested it against a clinical or body-composition endpoint.
// our evidence grade — unedited
GHRP-6 is the prototype of the class and its pharmacology is well described, but it is also the least selective member: the same doses that release GH reliably raise ACTH, cortisol and appetite, it has no approval anywhere, no controlled outcome trial, and FDA has flagged compounded product for immunogenicity risk.
We grade this compound and we sell it. The grade is set against our published criteria before any stocking decision and is not adjusted because it is in the catalogue.
