How it works

  1. Ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) agonist

    It activates the same brain receptor that the hunger hormone ghrelin uses, which also triggers growth hormone release.

  2. Stimulates a strong, dose-dependent growth hormone pulse

    It produces one of the strongest growth hormone releases among this class of peptides.

  3. Mild elevation of cortisol and prolactin at higher doses

    At higher doses it can also raise stress hormone and prolactin levels somewhat, unlike cleaner options like Ipamorelin.

  4. Stimulates appetite via hypothalamic ghrelin pathways

    It tends to make you hungrier, since it works through the same pathway as your body's natural hunger signal.

Result

A strong, reliable increase in growth hormone release, along with increased appetite as a side effect of how it works. Alongside gradual muscle and recovery benefits, most people notice a distinct increase in hunger shortly after use.
