    Overview

    Preclinical research has explored the effects of GHRP-6 on lean muscle development, fat mass reduction, joint and tissue recovery, and collagen. It may also prevent doxorubicin-induced myocardial and extra-myocardial damage by activating prosurvival pathways.

    Mechanism of Action

    GHRP-6 is a synthetic hexapeptide ghrelin-receptor (GHS-R1a) agonist that stimulates pulsatile GH release from the anterior pituitary and increases appetite via central ghrelin signaling.
