Hexarelin: Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide
Hexarelin is a part of the GHRP family of peptides that act on the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus to release Human Growth Hormone (HGH). The various GHRP (or Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides) were discovered in the 1990’s and since then have been subjected to extensive clinical research.
GHRPs such as GHRP-2, GHRP-6, Ipamorelin and Hexarelin stimulate the pituitary gland to produce endogenous Growth Hormone (or GH). They are all similar drugs with a similar action. Among all the GHRPs, Hexarelin is the strongest. It is known to produce a powerful GH secretion. It is also known to increase cortisol and prolactin level.
Hexarelin is the recommended medication for GH deficiency. Hexarelin is quite popular with professional athletes as a performance enhancement drug. One of the major advantages of taking Hexarelin, compared to other GHRPs such as GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 is that it does not lead to an automatic increase in appetite. This is because Hexarelin does not increase the Gherelin levels by any great extent. Ghrelin is, of course, responsible for increased hunger and faster gastric emptying.
Let’s see what are the main benefits of taking Hexarelin.
Ø It builds up physical strength and stamina
Ø It stimulates the growth of new muscle fibers
Ø It speeds up the growth the muscle fibers that are already in the body
Ø It offers excellent protection to the body’s joints
Ø It helps to reduce the amount of fat in the body
Ø It makes the skin more elastic
Ø It increases bone density
Ø It helps to recover faster from injuries
How Does Hexarelin Work?
The application of Hexarelin into the body leads to several natural functions. First, Hexareline circulates the growth hormones in the body. It stimulates the secretion of IGF-1 by the liver. IGF-1 means Insulin like Growth Factor. An increase in IGF-1 stimulates faster muscle growth.
Hexarelin is quite the same as GHRP-6 structurally, but does not induce hunger like GHRP-6 does. Hexarelin helps to reduce the amount of fat in adipose tissues. Hexarelin helps protect neural activity in the central nervous system as well.
Who Uses Hexarelin?
Hexarelin is recommended to those who are deficient in the Growth Hormone. It is taken by older men and women to slow down the aging process. Athletes are the most common users of Hexarelin because of how it helps with fat loss and muscle growth. It is taken by men and women who wish to lose weight fast as well. Hexarelin makes the skin more elastic, which is why it is popular with those looking for a younger looking skin. Hexarelin is also taken by bodybuilders who are looking to shed fat and gain muscle mass.
How to take Hexarelin?
Hexarelin should be taken 1 to 3 times a day, and no more than that. If you are taking Hexarelin for fat reduction or muscle gain, you may have it two to three times a day. If you’re taking it for other reasons, such as to slow down aging or to make the skin more elastic, you shouldn’t take Hexarelin more than once a day. Hexarelin should be taken in the form of subcutaneous injections, but never on an empty stomach. It should be injected directly under the skin into the stomach, thighs, or buttocks, or into the biceps and shoulders.
What are the side effects of Hexarelin?
Hexarelin is a powerful peptide, not as mild as other GHRPs such as Ipamorelin. Hexarelin must be taken well within its recommended dosage, otherwise it could cause water retention, tightness in the muscles, or even carpal tunnel-like symptoms. It may also cause numbness and tingling in the extremities, a decrease in insulin sensitivity and exhaustion. However, none of the Hexarelin side effects are as severe as those caused by the intake of synthetic Human Growth Hormone.
