What is GHRP-6?
GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6) is a high-purity synthetic hexapeptide designed exclusively for laboratory research. As a potent growth hormone secretagogue, GHRP-6 stimulates growth hormone (GH) release by binding to ghrelin receptors in the pituitary gland, making it a valuable tool for studying neuroendocrine regulation and metabolic pathways. Supplied as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution, GHRP-6 offers researchers a robust compound to investigate GH-related mechanisms.
