GHRP-6 Acetate

GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6) Acetate is a synthetic hexapeptide that stimulates the natural release of growth hormone (GH) by acting on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. It belongs to the Growth Hormone Secretagogue (GHS) family and is primarily used in the fields of performance enhancement, anti-aging, and recovery.

Key Features

• Peptide Type: Hexapeptide (six amino acids)

• Form: Lyophilized powder (commonly reconstituted with bacteriostatic water)

• CAS Number: 87616-84-0

• Molecular Formula: C46H56N12O6

• Purity: Typically ≥98% (pharmaceutical grade)

Mechanism of Action

GHRP-6 binds to the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R) in the brain, leading to a significant increase in growth hormone release. This mimics the action of ghrelin, a hunger-stimulating hormone, resulting in:

• Elevated GH and IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1) levels

• Improved anabolic processes

• Enhanced metabolism and fat breakdown

Benefits of GHRP-6 Acetate

✅ Muscle Growth – Increases protein synthesis and promotes lean muscle mass
✅ Fat Loss – Stimulates lipolysis (fat burning) by elevating GH levels
✅ Improved Recovery – Speeds up recovery from injury or intense training
✅ Joint and Skin Health – Boosts collagen production
✅ Increased Appetite – Strong hunger-stimulating effect (useful for bulking)
✅ Anti-Aging – Enhances tissue repair and reduces signs of aging

Usage and Dosage (Research Purposes Only)

• Typical Dosage: 100–300 mcg per injection

• Frequency: 2–3 times daily (e.g., morning, post-workout, before bed)

• Administration: Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection

• Cycle Length: 4–12 weeks

Note: Always reconstitute with bacteriostatic water and store in a refrigerator (2°C – 8°C).

Potential Side Effects

⚠️ Increased hunger
⚠️ Water retention or bloating
⚠️ Mild joint pain or numbness
⚠️ Gynecomastia (if stacked with other hormones)
⚠️ Elevated cortisol or prolactin levels with improper use

Stacking Options

• With GHRH (e.g., Mod GRF 1-29): Synergistic GH release

• With GHRP-2: Alternate effects (GHRP-2 is more potent, less hunger)

• With IGF-1 LR3: Enhanced growth effects
