Hexarelin
His-D-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2
Hexarelin is a synthetic hexapeptide belonging to the growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP) family and is recognized as one of the most potent growth hormone secretagogues available. It binds to ghrelin receptors (GHS-R) in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, triggering powerful growth hormone release and providing unique cardiovascular protective benefits beyond other GHRPs.
