Research FAQ
Compound and research-use information
What is Hexarelin?
Hexarelin is a synthetic hexapeptide growth hormone secretagogue that acts at the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). It is supplied for laboratory research use.
What is Hexarelin studied for in the research setting?
Hexarelin is studied in vitro and in preclinical models as a GHS-R1a agonist and for its reported interactions with the CD36 receptor, supporting mechanistic research into secretagogue signaling. Studies are limited to receptor pharmacology and cellular models.
What form is Aurevena's Hexarelin supplied in?
Hexarelin is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Every batch is tested by independent, accredited U.S. laboratories for purity and identity, with the Certificate of Analysis published on this product page. Store lyophilized peptide cold and protected from light, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Is Hexarelin intended for human use?
No. Hexarelin is sold by Aurevena strictly for laboratory and research use only. It is not a drug, dietary supplement, cosmetic, or medical device, and is not intended for human or veterinary use, consumption, or for the diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease.
