GHRP-6 Acetate
Ghrelin receptor agonist (GHS-R1a)
An earlier growth hormone releasing peptide notable for pronounced appetite stimulation in study data.
How it works
Activates GHS-R1a to trigger GH release and strongly mimics ghrelin signaling in hypothalamic hunger circuits.
What research has shown
Studies report robust GH release along with the largest appetite response of the GHRP family, plus modest cortisol and prolactin increases.
Reported ranges in the literature
Low end
100 mcg per administration
Optimal
100 to 200 mcg, one to three times daily
High end
300 mcg per administration
Frequency reported in the literature: One to three times daily
Protocol duration and pairing
Typical study duration
8 to 12 weeks, usually cycled.
Best paired with
Marked appetite stimulation makes it the GHRP of choice in weight-gain oriented research.
