What is hexarelin?
Hexarelin is a strong lab-made peptide, six amino acids long, from the same ghrelin receptor family as GHRP-2 and GHRP-6. It has been studied for growth hormone release. In animal and lab research it also had direct effects on heart muscle. It is not FDA approved. This site's review found 3 studies in people behind it, mostly small studies of how it works, not a large study record.
