Hexarelin (also known as Examorelin) is a potent GH secretagogue also studied for cardiac tissue effects. This page covers what the published research does — and does not — establish about it in relation to growth-hormone support.
Hexarelin is researched for Growth hormone release — which is why it appears in discussions of growth-hormone support.
Research status: Preclinical and early human research.
How Hexarelin is thought to work
Hexarelin is a potent growth-hormone-releasing peptide. Beyond stimulating GH, research has examined direct effects on cardiac tissue through the CD36 and ghrelin receptors, making it of interest in cardiovascular studies.
What it does not establish
Potency may lead to receptor desensitization. Endocrine-active.
Nothing on this page is a recommendation to use Hexarelin, and Selpho publishes no dosing, reconstitution or sourcing information. Read how we decide what goes in the library.

Growth-hormone release plus cardiac-tissue studies and recovery. Evidence is preclinical and early human research.
It is quite potent, though potency can lead to receptor desensitization over time in studies. It is endocrine-active.
