Peptide
Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin is used or studied for stimulates gh release and related growth hormone, recovery and performance goals. Potential benefits and safety depend on indication, formulation, dose, and medical supervision.
Peptide
Lanreotide
Lanreotide is used or studied for controls hormone secretion and related growth hormone, recovery and performance goals. Potential benefits and safety depend on indication, formulation, dose, and medical supervision.
Peptide
Leuprolide
Leuprolide is used or studied for suppresses sex hormones and related growth hormone, recovery and performance goals. Potential benefits and safety depend on indication, formulation, dose, and medical supervision.
Peptide
Nafarelin
Nafarelin is used or studied for treats endometriosis and related growth hormone, recovery and performance goals. Potential benefits and safety depend on indication, formulation, dose, and medical supervision.
Peptide
Octreotide

Frequently asked questions
What is a growth hormone secretagogue?
A growth hormone secretagogue stimulates the pituitary gland to release more of the body’s own growth hormone, rather than introducing exogenous GH directly. Compounds in this hub work through GHRH-receptor or ghrelin-receptor pathways.
