Description
What it is
A GHRH analog that amplifies natural growth hormone pulses without extending half-life — preserving the body’s pulsatile release pattern.
Why it’s studied
The short half-life mimics natural GHRH function, which researchers consider closer to physiological signaling than extended-release alternatives.
Key research findings
-
Significant GH and IGF-1 elevation following administration (Teichman et al.)
-
Peak effects align with natural overnight GH release window
-
Preserved pulsatile release pattern in research models
