Description
Our GHRP-6 10mg vial holds 10mg of lyophilized GHRP-6, a synthetic growth hormone releasing hexapeptide, made and tested in the USA. It’s for in-vitro and lab research only.
About GHRP-6
GHRP-6 is a six-amino-acid synthetic peptide, His-D-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2, from Cyril Bowers’ work in the early 1980s. It was one of the first growth hormone releasing peptides, and it was studied years before ghrelin, the hormone it mimics, was found in 1999.
It’s best known for two things: a clear GH release and a strong jump in appetite. That appetite effect is why it’s still a common tool in feeding research.
How GHRP-6 works
GHRP-6 activates GHS-R1a in the pituitary and hypothalamus. That releases GH directly and also boosts the effect of GHRH while holding back somatostatin.
The same receptor sits in the brain’s appetite centers, which explains the hunger effect. GHRP-6 also binds CD36, a receptor on heart and blood vessel cells, which is the basis for the cardiac studies.

Published GHRP-6 studies
Bowers and colleagues described its GH-releasing effect in 1984, and it became the reference compound for the receptor later named GHS-R1a.
Animal studies since then have looked at GHRP-6 in heart muscle protection and in gut and liver injury models, separate from its effect on GH.

GHRP-6 10mg vs related compounds
GHRP-6 10mg is easier to place once you see it next to the compounds it’s usually compared with. GHRP-6 releases GH and strongly raises appetite, the classic tool for feeding research. The others:
- GHRP-2 is the strongest GH releaser of the original GHRPs, with a milder appetite effect than GHRP-6
- Hexarelin is a very potent GHRP that also binds CD36 on heart cells
- Ipamorelin is the most selective ghrelin-receptor peptide, with little effect on cortisol or prolactin
All four act on the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). They differ in strength, in side signals like cortisol, prolactin and appetite, and in how quickly the response fades. See them all on our growth hormone peptides page.
Lab-tested GHRP-6 10mg
We only sell U.S.-made products, and GHRP-6 10mg is no exception. Each batch is tested by an outside U.S. lab for identity, content and purity, with a 99%+ HPLC purity standard.
You don’t have to take our word for it. The certificate of analysis for the current batch is in the image gallery at the top of this page, next to the product photo, and it shows the test date and the results.
Batches are also screened for endotoxins, heavy metals and sterility. Those contaminant checks matter as much as purity for cell work, where a small amount of endotoxin can skew results.
Reconstituting GHRP-6 10mg
Concentration is the amount in the vial divided by the volume of water you add. With 10mg of powder in this vial:
- 1mL of bacteriostatic water gives 10mg/mL
- 2mL of bacteriostatic water gives 5mg/mL
- 3mL of bacteriostatic water gives 3.33mg/mL
Choose the volume that suits your measurements. Mark the vial with the concentration and date so nobody has to guess later. The vial itself holds 3mL, so that’s the upper limit.
Use sterile bacteriostatic water, like our 10mL bacteriostatic water. Let the vial reach room temperature, run the water slowly down the inside of the glass, then roll the vial gently until the powder dissolves. Don’t shake it. Shaking can shear peptide chains.
GHRP-6 10mg storage and shelf life
Store sealed vials of GHRP-6 10mg in the freezer (-20°C) or the fridge (2 to 8°C), out of direct light. Mixed solution goes back in the fridge and should be used within about 28 days.
Vials are small and easy to knock over or misplace. Our 6 vial and 10 vial containers keep a whole study’s worth together.
