What is GHRP-6 used for?
It is a peptide studied for setting off a strong burst of growth hormone through the ghrelin receptor. It is also known for making people very hungry through that same receptor, the route ghrelin itself uses to signal hunger. It is not FDA approved anywhere. This site's review found no studies in people for it, only animal and lab data.
