Hexarelin (Examorelin)

Strongest GHRP — powerful GH pulse

Muscle Growth
Half-life
~55 minutes
Route
Subcutaneous (SubQ)
Cycle
IMPORTANT: 4-8 week
Status
Clinical trials in cardiovascular disease and GH deficiency

About

Stronger than GHRP-2 and GHRP-6. Faster onset and higher GH pulse, but also faster desensitization. Popular in short cycles for intense bulking.

Mechanism

Activates the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) in the pituitary — a stronger pulse than other GHRPs. Also has cardioprotective effects.

Timing

On an empty stomach, preferably 30 min before food or 90 min after.

Cycle structure

IMPORTANT: 4-8 week cycles with 4-8 week breaks. Desensitization is rapid.

Reconstitution & Storage

5 mg + 2 mL → 2500 mcg/mL

Same protocol as other GHRPs. Refrigerate immediately after reconstitution.

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 100–100 mcg dose.

Benefits

  • • Strongest GH pulse among GHRPs
  • • Faster muscle growth
  • • Cardioprotective effects
  • • Increased appetite
  • • Improved sleep

Side effects

  • • Rapid desensitization (after 4-8 weeks)
  • • Elevated prolactin and cortisol
  • • Hunger (intense)
  • • Transient water retention
  • • Lethargy after injection

Contraindications

  • • Diabetes
  • • Heart failure (despite cardioprotection — use caution)
  • • Pituitary tumor
  • • Pregnancy

Gender notes

Men

Same dose. Popular for bulking cycles.

Women

Lower dose (50-100 mcg) is often enough due to prolactin elevation.

Hexarelin FAQ

How do you reconstitute Hexarelin?

Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg vial of Hexarelin, which gives a concentration of 2500 mcg/mL. Inject the water slowly down the vial wall and swirl gently — never shake.

What is a typical Hexarelin dose?

A typical research dose of Hexarelin is 100–100 mcg, 2x per day. This is educational information, not medical advice.

How many units of Hexarelin do I draw?

From a 5 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, draw 4–4 units on a U-100 insulin syringe for a 100–100 mcg dose.
