Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6(GHRP-6) is a hexapeptide consisting of L-amino acids(natural) and D-amino acids(unnatural) that stimulates the secretion of GH. It also has been shown to decrease somatostatin(breaks down GH).
GHRP-6 has been shown to increase GH levels by up to 3-fold vs the placebo in clinical trials. It's also used to increase appetite by stimulating the "hunger hormone" ghrelin. The dose used in the study was 50mcg 4x a day. GHRP-6 was also shown to increase stage 2 sleep, but also can increase cortisol according to one study. GHRP-6 can be an effective tool that can effectively increase GH levels which can lead to increased LBM and decrease BF%. GHRP-6 should be taken on an empty stomach, due to the fact that carbs and/or fats can blunt GH release.
GHRP-6 has a very short half-life, somewhere between as little as 8 min and up to 2hr, so it's best to use multiple times a day, just as your body releases GH in pulses throughout the day. Lower doses have been used if in conjunction with GHRH, which has immense synergy in increasing GH levels. Since this is something that works relatively quickly, you can take this in the morning on an empty stomach and do cardio. This should increase fat loss via releasing fat into the bloodstream to be oxidized for energy.
