GHRP-6 Acetate · How it works
Hunger in the hypothalamus
GHRP-6 is the strongest hunger trigger of the group. It fires NPY and AgRP neurons in the arcuate nucleus, the same circuit ghrelin uses before a meal. Hunger comes on 15 to 30 minutes after a dose. That makes it a tool for gaining weight, and a poor choice for cutting.
