It is listed here under Growth Hormone as educational reference, which is not a recommendation to use it.

02Is Hexarelin FDA approved?+

03What is the half-life of Hexarelin?+

~55 min (human, subcutaneous); ~76 min IV in animal studies. 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 Hexarelin 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.
