What is Hexarelin?
Hexarelin is a synthetic peptide from the GHRP (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides) family, composed of 6 amino acids. In research models, it has been described as a strong agonist of the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) and stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone (GH). In published research models, Hexarelin has been described as having a more stable structure and more pronounced activity than other GHRP peptides. In research settings, it has been studied for its effects on muscle growth, tissue regeneration, bone density, and cardioprotection.
Observations on Hexarelin
Hexarelin is being studied for its possible effects on:
Growth hormone stimulation - enhances GH pulses and IGF-1 secretion.
Increase muscle mass and strength - supports protein synthesis.
Improved recovery - shortens regeneration time after physical exertion.
Joint and bone health - stimulates bone mineralization and tendon regeneration.
Cardioprotective effects - A protective effect on the myocardium has been observed in experimental models.
Anti aging properties - In research settings, an effect on hormonal balance and catabolic processes has been observed.
An effect on deep sleep phases has been described in research models.
Fat reduction - In research settings, an effect on lipolysis and metabolic balance has been observed.
Scientific data
Hexarelin has been studied in preclinical and limited clinical models, where a dose-dependent effect on GH and IGF-1 was observed.
In endocrinology, it has shown a significant effect on increasing GH and IGF-1 without receptor depletion.
In cardiology, experiments demonstrate protective effects in ischemic heart damage and improvement of cardiac function.
In orthopedics, there is evidence of accelerated recovery of bone and tendon injuries.
In sports medicine, interest is focused on its anabolic potential and shortening recovery time.
Dosage and administration
The scientific literature describes subcutaneous administration of 100-300 μg daily, divided into 1-2 applications.
At 2 mg + 3 ml bacteriostatic water:
Concentration = 0.67 mg/ml → 0.15 ml = 100 μg
At 5 mg + 3 ml bacteriostatic water:
Concentration = 1.67 mg/ml → 0.1 ml = 167 μg
Example values for 2 mg:
0.15 ml = 100 μg
0.3 ml = 200 μg
0.45 ml = 300 μg
0.6 ml = 400 μg
Example values for 5 mg:
0.06 ml = 100 μg
0.12 ml = 200 μg
0.18 ml = 300 μg
0.24 ml = 400 μg
0.3 ml = 500 μg
Application in sports
Hexarelin is banned by WADA for use in professional sports because it can:
Possible side effects
Reported adverse reactions are dose-related and include:
Headache or dizziness are less common.
