Hexarelin
Hexarelin
Also known as: Examorelin, HEX
Overview
Key Facts
Primary Goal: Research and therapeutic applications of Hexarelin
Strong agonism of the GHS-R1a receptor producing maximal GH secretory response. Activates cardiac GHS receptors, contributing to cardioprotective effects independent of GH.
Dosing Information
~70 minutes
100–200 mcg
1-2 times daily
4-8 weeks (with breaks due to desensitization)
Benefits
- Very potent GH release, among the highest of all GHRPs
- Cardioprotective properties demonstrated in research
- Enhanced wound healing and tissue repair
- Improved bone mineral density in study models
Side Effects
Mechanism of Action
Strong agonism of the GHS-R1a receptor producing maximal GH secretory response
Activates cardiac GHS receptors, contributing to cardioprotective effects independent of GH
Non-selective receptor activation leads to co-release of cortisol, prolactin, and ACTH
Contraindications
Do not use this peptide if any of the following apply:
- Active malignancy
- Conditions worsened by cortisol elevation (e.g., Cushing's)
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- History of pituitary tumours
Storage & Reconstitution
Unreconstituted (Powder)
Reconstituted (Mixed)
Research Summary
Hexarelin has been studied in clinical trials for GH deficiency and cardiac recovery. It produces the most potent acute GH response among GHRPs but shows significant tachyphylaxis (desensitization) within 1-2 weeks of continuous use. Research on its cardioprotective effects is particularly noteworthy, with studies showing improved cardiac function in heart failure models independent of GH release.
