Hexarelin HEX

A strong growth-hormone-boosting peptide, closely related to a compound also sold under the name examorelin, studied in small human trials for hormone release and possibly heart protection. It clearly raises growth hormone, but repeated use makes the body less responsive to it over time.

Also known as Examorelin, examorelina, examoreline, 09QF37C617, examorelinum, RefChem:139696, His-D-2-methyl-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2

Reported dosing

User-reported

What has been reported in the literature and by users. This is a record of what is done, not a recommendation.

Typical dose 100-200 mcg per dose
Reported range 100-300 mcg per dose
Route Subcutaneous injection
Frequency 1-3 times daily
Duration 6-8 week course (unregulated use), often cycled due to rapid desensitization

Not FDA-approved; sold only as a research chemical. Known to desensitize its own growth-hormone-releasing effect faster than other GHRPs with continued use.
