The original synthetic ghrelin-mimetic hexapeptide that activates the growth-hormone-secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a) to stimulate pituitary growth hormone release; it also strongly stimulates appetite. It is listed here under Growth Hormone as educational reference, which is not a recommendation to use it.
02Is GHRP-6 FDA approved?+

03What is the half-life of GHRP-6?+
Short; ~20-30 min (some studies report up to ~2.5 h), subcutaneous. A half-life is an educational pharmacology figure describing how long the body takes to clear half of a substance. It is not a schedule and does not imply one.
04How is GHRP-6 stored and handled?+
Supplied lyophilized; store cool, reconstitute before use, then refrigerate and protect from light. Storage conditions come from a manufacturer's own label where one exists, and a compound with no approved label has no agency-reviewed handling instructions at all.
05What vial strengths of GHRP-6 are commonly sold?+
Commonly listed vial strengths are 5, 10 mg. A vial strength is a market fact about how a product is packaged. It is not a dose, and it says nothing about how much of anything belongs in any person.
