Sequence, molecular data, research status and testing standards for GHRP-6, written for Canadian researchers.
GHRP-6 (growth hormone-releasing peptide 6) is a synthetic six-amino-acid peptide that activates the ghrelin receptor, signalling the pituitary gland to release growth hormone. It was one of the first synthetic growth hormone secretagogues.
GHRP-6 was developed in the 1980s and is a classic tool in research on the ghrelin receptor and the growth hormone axis. It is also known to stimulate appetite signalling, as it mimics the hunger hormone ghrelin.
What it isOne of the first lab-made copies of the hunger hormone ghrelin.
The plain-English storyThe original ghrelin lookalike, and a famous one: it triggers growth hormone release and also makes people very hungry, an unwanted guest at the party. It is used in research, but it is not an approved medicine in Canada and is banned in sport.
How it works, in simple termsIt tells the body's master gland to release growth hormone, and it also makes people feel hungry.
What the science really showsUsed in research for growth hormone and appetite.
Where it stands in CanadaNot an approved medicine in Canada, so nobody can legally sell it to you as one. Also banned in sport.

Peptide Authority does not sell GHRP-6. It is not authorized for human or animal use in Canada, and products sold online cannot be verified without a lot-matched third-party Certificate of Analysis.
All three act on the ghrelin receptor. GHRP-6 is the original and also affects appetite signalling more strongly. GHRP-2 is more potent, and ipamorelin is described as the most selective.
Yes. GHRP-6 is on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List: Prohibited: S2 (growth hormone-releasing peptides).
