WADA S2

This substance falls under WADA S2 (Peptide Hormones, Growth Factors, Related Substances and Mimetics). If you are subject to anti-doping rules, this category of substances is prohibited at all times.

GH Axis

This substance modulates the growth hormone axis. GH-axis stimulation carries risks including glucose intolerance, fluid retention, and theoretical concerns about sustained IGF-1 elevation.

Overview

Hexarelin (examorelin) is a GHRP-class secretagogue often showing stronger GH stimulation than some peers. Human volunteer studies used repetitive administration (e.g., 4x50 µg across night hours) to evaluate GH/ACTH/cortisol/prolactin and sleep EEG outcomes. Endocrine spillover effects have been studied.
