Status
Phase II trials

About

A synthetic GHRH (Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone) analog that activates pituitary GHRH receptors. Without DAC, the short half-life preserves natural pulsatility.

Mechanism

Binds GHRH receptors in pituitary somatotrophs, stimulating GH production and release.

Reconstitution & Storage

5 mg + 2 mL → 2500 mcg/mL

Can be combined with Ipamorelin in the same syringe (same concentration).

Dosing reference — units to draw

Concentration = peptide mass ÷ bacteriostatic water; units to draw = dose volume (mL) × 100 on a U-100 insulin syringe. Each vial size below is shown at 2 mL, with the units to draw for a typical 200–1000 mcg dose.
