How to Use Hexarelin
Complete guide to Hexarelin dosing, administration, timing, and protocol recommendations.
Quick Overview
Hexarelin is a synthetic six-amino-acid peptide (a growth hormone-releasing peptide, or GHRP) that pushes the pituitary to release growth hormone. What makes it more interesting than its cousins is a second job: it binds a receptor in heart tissue and appears to protect the heart, an effect that does not depend on growth hormone at all. It is a research compound, not an approved drug, and almost all of the heart data is from animals.
