Potent GH secretagogue and ghrelin agonist with cardioprotective properties.
TL;DR — Hexarelin is a growth hormone peptide with a typical starting dose of 100 µg. For a 2 mg vial, add 2 mL bacteriostatic water to yield 1000 µg/mL.
Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 2 mg vial, injecting slowly down the inside wall. Swirl gently; never shake. This yields a concentration of 1000 µg/mL.
What is the recommended dose of Hexarelin?
A typical research dose is 100 µg. Consult the ASCEND calculator for your specific vial concentration and draw volume.
How many doses are in a Hexarelin vial?
A 2 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL BAC water yields approximately 20 doses at 100 µg each.

What is the half-life of Hexarelin?
Hexarelin has a half-life of approximately 70 minutes after subcutaneous injection, longer than most other GHRPs. It is among the most potent GH secretagogues per microgram and also activates CD36 receptors, contributing to cardioprotective effects in animal models.
Does Hexarelin cause more cortisol elevation than Ipamorelin?
Yes. Like GHRP-2, Hexarelin significantly elevates ACTH and cortisol alongside GH. Some researchers cycle Hexarelin for its potency and cardioprotective properties while monitoring cortisol via bloodwork. Long-term use without monitoring is not advisable.
What is unique about Hexarelin beyond GH secretion?
Hexarelin is the only GHRP with documented cardioprotective activity independent of GH. It activates CD36 in cardiac tissue, providing anti-ischemic effects in animal models. This makes it of research interest for cardiac recovery protocols.
