Hexarelin
is a synthetic hexaptide which has
GH-releasing
properties. Hexarelin, administered subcutaneously
produces a dose-dependent GH response from the Pituitary.
The advantages of having
HGH
secreted in larger amounts in the body would be similar to what happens
when injectable growth hormone is administered. Effects from GH include
increased bone mineral density, increased mitosis and meiosis which
leads
to more muscle mass, triglyceride hydrolysis which causes prominent fat
loss, connective tissue strengthening, and improved skin elasticity.
GH secretion also leads to the liver secreting more IGF-1
(Insulin-Like Growth Factor One), which by itself has a host of effects
similar to GH. Users of
IGF-1
typically experience increased strength and muscle mass, as well as a
very pronounced fat loss.
Therefore, by injecting
Hexarelin, the
user will
experience all of the effects of both Growth
Hormone as well as IGF-1. However, since
Hexarelin
actually stimulates the body to produce more GH, it may be likely that
the eventual shutdown of the body’s natural GH production may be
avoided, as is seen with injectable GH. For this reason, many athletes
use Hexarelin alone, but others have used it after a Growth Hormone or
Insulin-Like Growth Factor one cycle, to “jumpstart” their own natural
GH and IGF-1
production.
