What is GHRP-6?
GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6) is a synthetic hexapeptide that stimulates growth hormone release through activation of the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). As one of the first synthetic GH secretagogues developed, GHRP-6 has extensive research documentation and remains a valuable tool for studying growth hormone physiology.
Unlike more selective peptides such as ipamorelin, GHRP-6 also stimulates appetite and affects cortisol and prolactin levels, making it useful for studying the full spectrum of ghrelin receptor effects.
Peptide Shop supplies research-grade GHRP-6 with guaranteed ≥99% purity.
How Does GHRP-6 Work?
GHS-R Activation
- Ghrelin receptor binding - Primary mechanism
- GH release - Pituitary somatotrope stimulation
- Somatostatin suppression - Reduced inhibitory tone
- GHRH synergy - Enhanced combined effects
Secondary Effects
- Appetite stimulation - Ghrelin-like orexigenic effects
- Cortisol release - Moderate elevation
- Prolactin effects - Some increase observed
Research Applications
GH Axis Studies
- GH secretion - Release mechanisms
- Ghrelin pharmacology - Receptor characterisation
- Pituitary function - Somatotrope biology
Appetite Research
- Orexigenic effects - Food intake studies
- Ghrelin mimetics - Comparative research

FAQ
GHRP-6 is used to study growth hormone secretion, ghrelin receptor activation, appetite regulation, and metabolic effects. It's one of the original synthetic GH secretagogues with well-characterised pharmacology.
GHRP-6 has stronger appetite-stimulating effects and may cause more cortisol/prolactin release than GHRP-2. GHRP-2 is considered more selective. Both are valuable for different research questions.
Yes, GHRP-6 is known to stimulate appetite in research models through ghrelin receptor activation. This property is useful for studying ghrelin's orexigenic effects.
Store lyophilised GHRP-6 at -20°C. Once reconstituted, keep at 2-8°C and use within 4 weeks.
Our GHRP-6 is ≥99% pure as verified by HPLC. Each batch includes a Certificate of Analysis.
GHRP-6 binds to GHS-R (ghrelin receptors) on pituitary somatotropes, stimulating GH release. It also suppresses somatostatin tone.
Yes, GHRP-6 with GHRH analogs like CJC-1295 is a common research combination to study synergistic GH release.
GHRP-6 is available in 5mg and 10mg vials.
