What is Hexarelin?
Research Focus: Weight Loss, Longevity
Hexarelin is a potent, synthetic Growth Hormone Secretagogue (GHS) and a selective agonist of the ghrelin receptor (GHSR-1a). It strongly stimulates the release of Growth Hormone (GH).
At a Glance
Hexarelin is a hexapeptide known for inducing a rapid and significant surge in GH levels. Unlike GHRH analogs (like CJC-1295), Hexarelin acts via the ghrelin pathway. This section provides a general overview of its research context.
About Hexarelin
Hexarelin is a hexapeptide known for inducing a rapid and significant surge in GH levels. Unlike GHRH analogs (like CJC-1295), Hexarelin acts via the ghrelin pathway.
How It Works
Ghrelin Receptor Activation
Binds to GHSR-1a, leading to a powerful release of GH from the pituitary gland.
Cardioprotection
Research suggests Hexarelin may have direct protective effects on the heart muscle, independent of its GH-releasing properties.
Current Research Insights
Potent GH Release
Hexarelin is recognized for its strong GH-releasing capability, often used in research protocols requiring high, acute GH pulses.
Areas of Study
Muscle Growth and Body Composition
Investigated for promoting lean mass and reducing fat.
Cardiovascular Health
Studied for its potential to improve heart function and recovery after injury.
Hexarelin is strictly intended for laboratory and clinical research:
- Available exclusively from authorized research suppliers
- Not FDA-approved for general therapeutic use
- Comprehensive safety, efficacy, and dosage guidelines remain under ongoing investigation
FAQs
Research
