GHRP-6 GHRP-6

A peptide similar to GHRP-2, known especially for strongly increasing hunger along with boosting growth hormone. Human studies confirm both effects, but like GHRP-2, it was never developed into an approved medication.

Also known as Growth hormone releasing peptide 6, RefChem:201055, GHRP-2 Acetate, h-his-d-trp-ala-trp-d-phe-lys-nh2, orb341840, C46H56N12O6, Q27077800
