Growth-Hormone Secretagogue Peptides
GHRH analogs and GHRPs that stimulate endogenous pulsatile growth-hormone release — CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, Tesamorelin, Sermorelin, and more.
Growth-Hormone Secretagogues (GHS) (8)
AOD-9604
Research-Grade
A 16-amino-acid fragment of the C-terminus of human growth hormone (residues 176–191), marketed for fat-loss lipolytic activity but weak in controlled human trials.
CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
Research-Grade
The most widely used GHRH + GHRP stack — CJC-1295 extends GHRH half-life while Ipamorelin selectively amplifies GH pulses without disturbing cortisol or prolactin.
GHRP-2
Research-Grade
An early-generation growth-hormone-releasing peptide with potent GHSR agonism but notable prolactin elevation compared to the later selective agent Ipamorelin.
GHRP-6
Research-Grade
The first-generation growth-hormone-releasing peptide, notable for inducing strong hunger through ghrelin-receptor activation alongside GH release.
Hexarelin
Research-Grade
A potent GHRP with documented cardioprotective effects in ischemic animal models, distinct from other GHRPs in its non-GH receptor activity.
Ipamorelin
Research-Grade
The most selective GHRP (growth-hormone-releasing peptide) — amplifies GH pulses via ghrelin/GHSR receptor without meaningful cortisol, prolactin, or aldosterone crosstalk.
Sermorelin
Research-Grade
The first synthetic GHRH analog approved for clinical use — GHRH (1-29) NH₂, the minimum active sequence. Shorter-acting than tesamorelin or CJC-1295.
Tesamorelin
Egrifta
FDA-approved synthetic GHRH analog indicated for HIV-associated lipodystrophy, studied for visceral adipose tissue reduction and cognitive endpoints.
