GHRP-6
GHRP — AppetiteStrongly appetite-stimulating GHRP — used in research when GH and weight gain are both wanted.
GHRP-6 is the GHRP with the most pronounced "ghrelin" effect — it triggers intense hunger within minutes, alongside the GH release. For most optimizers that hunger is an unwanted side effect, but it's exactly why GHRP-6 has a niche: research into appetite, recovery from wasting conditions, and bulking protocols where eating more is the point. If you don't want to be ravenous, pick Ipamorelin; if stimulating appetite is the goal, GHRP-6 is the right tool.
