Selective ghrelin/GHS-R1a receptor agonist. Stimulates GH release from pituitary with high selectivity — minimal effect on cortisol, prolactin, or ACTH. Cleanest GHRP.

Safety profile

Generally very well-tolerated. Mild water retention, headache, flushing, hunger. Minimal cortisol/prolactin elevation (advantage over other GHRPs). · Most selective GHRP; minimal cortisol/prolactin; human PK data; widely used with good anecdotal safety

⚠ CriticalContraindication

Active malignancy — growth hormone releasers may stimulate tumor growth via IGF-1.

! CautionCaution

Insulin resistance or Type 2 diabetes — chronic GH elevation worsens insulin sensitivity.

! CautionCaution

Untreated hypothyroidism — may blunt response.

Research

Studies & key findings

  • First truly selective GH secretagogue — stimulates pulsatile GH release without affecting cortisol, prolactin, ACTH, or FSH, giving a superior safety profile versus earlier GHRPs.
  • British Journal of Pharmacology PK/PD study (1999) characterized human dose-response: a single 1–10 µg/kg IV dose produces dose-proportional GH peaks with rapid washout.

6 peer-reviewed sources cited — clinical, preclinical, and regulatory.
