02Mechanism of Action
Hexarelin is a synthetic hexapeptide growth-hormone secretagogue. It activates the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) to stimulate growth-hormone release, and is distinctive in the research literature for additional interaction with the CD36 receptor, studied in cardiac-signaling models.
It is used as a research tool for both GH-secretagogue and cardiovascular-signaling investigation.

05FAQ
What is Hexarelin?
Hexarelin is a synthetic hexapeptide growth-hormone secretagogue studied for GHS-R1a and CD36 receptor signaling in research models. It is sold for research use only.
What receptors does Hexarelin act on?
Hexarelin is studied as an agonist of the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) and for interaction with the CD36 receptor in cardiac research models.
What is Hexarelin's molecular weight?
Hexarelin has a molecular weight of approximately 887.04 g/mol and CAS number 140703-51-1.
How should Hexarelin be stored?
Hexarelin ships lyophilized and should be handled per standard research-peptide practice — kept cold, protected from light and moisture, and reconstituted only for laboratory use. Cold-chain handling is used where required. For research use only.
Is Hexarelin approved for human use?
No. Hexarelin is sold strictly for laboratory research use only and is not a drug or supplement. It is not approved for human or veterinary use or consumption.
How is Hexarelin tested at Ethos Bio?
Every Hexarelin lot is independently verified by MZ Biolabs, a third-party analytical laboratory in Arizona, on a five-point panel — RP-HPLC purity, HPLC-MS identity, endotoxin (LAL), heavy metals, and sterility. A lot-specific certificate of analysis ships with the vial. See How We Test for the full methodology.
