1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,083 GHRP-6 is a synthetic peptide that acts through the ghrelin-receptor system. 2 00:00:05,083 --> 00:00:09,750 That system connects signals about energy balance with growth-hormone release. 3 00:00:09,750 --> 00:00:13,250 Small human experiments have measured growth-hormone responses. 4 00:00:13,250 --> 00:00:20,708 Some also measured ACTH and cortisol, reminding us that changing a signaling pathway can affect more than 5 00:00:20,708 --> 00:00:24,208 one hormone. 6 00:00:24,208 --> 00:00:28,083 The appetite story needs its own evidence label. 7 00:00:28,083 --> 00:00:33,542 A study showing more food intake after GHRP-6 was conducted in rats. 8 00:00:33,542 --> 00:00:37,417 That does not quantify the response in people. 9 00:00:37,417 --> 00:00:44,083 A short-term hormone change does not establish better recovery, healthy aging, or lasting muscle benefit. 10 00:00:44,083 --> 00:00:48,333 FDA flags safety concerns, including glucose and cortisol effects.
