GHRP-6 is a peptide in the growth factor family. It has strong effect on the release of Growth Hormone (GH). Its main use is to promote food intake by stimulating hunger and aid in energy metabolism. It can be used in the treatment of GH deficiency as well as cachexia, eating disorders and obesity.

Learn how to use peptide hormones such as human growth hormone (hGH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) to enhance the anabolic properties of anabolic steroids and the role of different peptides to enhance athletic performance.
hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadrotropin)
September 21, 2009 By
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is provided as a glycoprotein powder to be diluted with water and taken by injection, either intramuscularly or subcutaneously. It acts in the body like luteinizing hormone (LH), stimulating the testes to produce testosterone even when natural LH is not present or is deficient. It therefore is useful for maintaining testosterone [...]

hGH (Human Growth Hormone)
September 11, 2001 By
There are primarily two theories as to how hGH (human growth hormone) exerts its growth promoting effects. The first theory is called the Dual Effector theory. The second theory is called the Somatomedin (“mediator of growth”) Hypothesis. Both theories are fairly strait forward. Let?s start with the Dual Effector theory. The Dual Effector theory states [...]
IGF-1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1)
August 11, 2001 By
IGF-1 or insulin-like growth factor 1 (brand name: Increlex) is a growth factor which is very closely related to insulin. It carries the same amount of amino acids as insulin and responsible for the anabolic reactions to GH. IGF-1 is an important factor in childhood growth and is highly anabolic in adults. It is also [...]
IGF-1-BP3
January 6, 2007 By
SomatoKine or IGF-1-BP3 is being developed by Insmed (formerly Celtrix Pharmaceuticals). SomatoKine is a recombinant fusion of insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) complexed to its major binding protein BP-3,which mimics the biological effects of IGF-1. SomatoKine acts as an insulin sensitizer and as an anabolic agent. The administration of IGF-1 as a fusion protein appears to avoid [...]
Insulin
September 11, 2001 By
Insulin, by itself, is not an effective anabolic. (If it were, diabetics would be huge.) Insulin, in combination with androgen and resistance exercise, may trigger maturation of satellite cells (small, more or less useless cells that are held in reserve, which do not contribute to muscular strength) into mature muscle cells. The advanced steroid user [...]
MGF (Mechano Growth Factor)
September 11, 2001 By
MGF (mechano growth factor) has been used by bodybuilders and athletes for a few years already. After resistance exercise, IGF-1 is released within the muscle. Specifically, at this time, immediately following the mechanical use of a muscle, the IGF-I gene is spliced towards MGF which initiates hypertrophy and repair of local muscle damage. It does [...]
Mircera / Super EPO (PEGylated Erythropoietin)
January 6, 2010 By
Mircera (methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta) is a third generation version of erythropoietin manufactured by pharmaceutical giant Hoffman-LaRoche that has been called “Super EPO.” Mircera is an artificial form of erythropoietin (EPO) stimulators similar to Amgen’s Epogen and Aranesp. But Mircera is thought to be superior to Epogen and Aranesp due to the use of pegylation [...]
PEG-MGF (PEGylated Mechano Growth Factor)
September 11, 2001 By
What is PEG-MGF or PEGylated mechano growth factor? MGF is a splice variant of the IGF gene which increases stem cell count in the muscle and allows for muscle fibers to fuse and mature. This is a process required for growth of adult muscle. Natural MGF is made locally and does not travel into the [...]
