Hexarelin is a research peptide that’s under the classification of growth hormone releasing peptides, also known as GHRPs or GH secretagogues. Other forms of GHRPs include GHRP-6, GHRP-2 and Ipamorelin. Hexarelin is mainly used to provide pituitary gland stimulation, which causes a production of growth hormones. Like its GHRP counterparts, Hexarelin has a 2-step action plan that consists of suppressing Somatostatin actions, while increasing growth hormones (by amplifying the signal transduction pathway of growth hormone releasing hormones, also known as GHRH).
What Makes Hexarelin Different from the Other GHRPs?
When you look at the data, you’ll see that Hexarelin has characteristics that are unique from the other GHRPs mentioned above. In fact, it is the most potent of the growth hormone releasers. It out performs the other GH releasing peptide when you view the numbers on a mcg to mcg basis. There is also evidence (not yet proven) that there is higher rapidity rate of desensitization compared to the other research peptides, but the extent and the rate are still being studied. It’s recommended to researchers that they discontinue using Hexarelin within 2 weeks of starting use on test subjects. Going past this point may cause the GH to have an insignificant spike, due to the enhanced desensitization. However, there is a study that goes against this theory.
Study Done on the Rate of Desensitization of Hexarelin
Scientific research on animal test subjects were used in a study to determine the rate of desensitization of Hexarelin when it’s administered daily. Blood work from the animal test subjects were taken at the end of the week on weeks 1, 2, 4 and 16. The blood was then evaluated and conclusions were met that Hexarelin showed little difference in desensitization after one week and four weeks of administration. The doses included 1mg/kg and 2mg/kg daily. After the 16 week mark, the amount of growth hormone released was blunted.
What is Hexarelin Used for?
When Hexarelin was injected into animal test subjects, it has shown to have effects that include increased size of muscle fibers, neural protection, increased strength, new muscle fiber growth, joint rejuvenation, joint protection and joint healing. It is also believed to reduce the amount of fatty tissue, helping the test subject to lose fat. The growth is only due to the increase in hormones – it doesn’t boost appetite or quicken gastric emptying.
Results of Hexarelin in Test Subjects
The animal test subjects that used Hexarelin saw growth in muscle size due to the new muscle cell creation. Some even witnessed a more youthful appearance. It’s also shown to have quick healing for injuries. In some instances, cardiac benefits were seen. This peptide was used on some animal test subjects that have an inability to naturally produce their own growth hormones or who are seeking to look younger. Hexarelin is known to improve the elasticity of the skin. Overweight and athletic animal test subjects were also used and good results were achieved. Overall, it assists with fat reduction, injury healing and prevention, skin elasticity and muscle building.
Disclaimer: It’s important to note that Hexarelin is a peptide and is only to be used in clinical research studies. This should in no way be used for human consumption. Hexarelin should only be purchased for the sole purpose of vitro research being conducted in a laboratory setting, under strict guidelines. In the event that you or any of the researchers are exposed to this peptide, be sure to cleanse it immediately to prevent harm to the individual.
Hexarelin is a peptide that is still under research for the purposes of scientific studies.
