Overview
Hexarelin is the most potent growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP) available. It triggers massive GH pulses - but what makes it unique is its heart-protective effects. It activates pathways that protect heart cells from damage...
Ipamorelin is a growth hormone secretagogue that gently prompts natural GH release with very little hunger or cortisol bump. It's popular for muscle growth, recovery, and anti-aging.
Safety
Grade B · Good Safety
Potent GHRP. May elevate cortisol and prolactin with extended use.
Receptor desensitization occurs with prolonged use - cycle off regularly. Strongest GHRP available.
Grade A · Excellent Safety
Most selective GHRP with minimal side effects. Safest for extended use.
Doesn't raise cortisol or prolactin significantly. Minimal appetite increase. Banned by WADA.
