GHRP-6 is the original ghrelin-mimetic growth-hormone secretagogue, a GHS-R1a agonist that triggers a GH pulse and powerfully stimulates hunger. Same GH mechanism as GHRP-2 with a much bigger appetite kick, which is why it is favored for gaining-phase work and set aside when cutting. Combined with a GHRH analog, the GH release is far larger than either alone.

- The strong appetite response makes it a bulking-phase tool and a less ideal choice for cutting work.thepeptidereport
- Hunger fades with continued use, per the guide's side-effect notes.researchdosing
- The GH response saturates: beyond the plateau it mainly adds cortisol and prolactin, not more GH.researchdosing
