Does hexarelin protect the heart?
Heart-protecting effects have been seen in animal and lab research. They are described as working through a different route from its growth hormone release, which is why it is talked about differently from others in this family. That describes what has been studied. It is not a proven benefit for a heart patient. This site's review found no large study in people showing that effect at any specific dose.
