01 /What it is
GHRP-1 is a synthetic hexapeptide growth hormone secretagogue, one of the original members of the GHRP family. It is studied as a research compound at the ghrelin receptor.
02 /How it works
In research models, GHRP-1 is studied as a ghrelin receptor agonist that participates in pulsatile growth hormone signaling. Its mechanism is most often investigated alongside GHRH analogs.
03 /What researchers explore it for
Researchers have explored GHRP-1 in growth hormone axis research, in receptor selectivity research, and in pairing research with GHRH analogs.
04 /Safety and interactions
Research interactions of note include combinations with GHRH analogs, which are commonly investigated together and can compound observed signaling in research models. GHRP-1 is for laboratory research use only and is not for human consumption. Not medical advice. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
05 /Research notes
Peptide family: ghrelin receptor agonists (GHRPs). Frequently compared with GHRP-2, GHRP-6, and Hexarelin. Commonly researched alongside CJC-1295 (no DAC).
